Hi all, I’m another Bluesky transplant. Late 30s bisexual trans woman. AnComm. Marx is cool. Still getting used to this site.

I have very limited resources but my hobbies include reading, working on my novel, gaming on my old PS3 (can’t afford anything newer), and walking. I’m totally isolated where I am so I’d love to meet some like-minded comrades.

    I definitely don’t resonate as much with the Feinberg/Butler model of transness, I’m more aligned to Serano’s intrinsic inclinations model

    OK wow you know WAYYYY more on this than me. Do you have anything you’d suggest to read on this? Whipping Girl or anything else?

    I’ve been playing Hitman 2 & 3. I’m quite old and busy, so I’ll discover something that the gaming community has already known for a long time.

    Soooo sorry about being disabled in the US. I find that some of the best comrades are disabled, they seem to really get how terrible the system actually us.

      I uh have consistently read over 100 books a year on everything since I was a teen. Plus I would go to the college library and pick a section and just go down the row and read the intro and conclusion to each book so I had the gist and could select the couple best on the subject to read fully. Politics, theory, feminism, sociology, psychology, history, theology, philosophy, economics. I was homeschooled by Christian Nationalists so I’ve read a TON of that garbage (Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, von Misses, various CN Christofascists) and know their arguments from the inside. I became a leftist because I kept looking up their sources and going “hang on, I’m being lied to”

      Oh I’ve played Hitman 2! I liked that one. Before Borderlands I’d been replaying all the AC games up to Rogue. Im always discovering PS3 games I missed that is old hat to everyone else lol

      Yeahhh the us is awful and about to get even worse. The system was always bad, got marginally better and has been crumbling since the 80s. I’m trying to brace for impact but without resources it’s gonna be rough.
