Hi, witches! I'm Dan. Initially I was on mastodon.social but I really wanted a #queer #leftist space to hang out on. I'm #bisexual/#pansexual and #genderqueer and I never use hashtags like this I'm so sorry, I just want to connect with people. #introduction okay that was the last one.
I'm also American, so, predictably, I don't speak French.
@dconley hey! just joined here as well. trans/poly/lesbian, definitely intrigued by the idea of a better, open source twitter with a more progressive user base. :wink:
@nergdron Not gonna lie, saw your display name and was like "cliiiiiicking follow". Then I saw your bio and I clicked it harder :grin:
@dconley hee hee hee yesssssssssssss. I also use Mx! it's the best honourific, tbh.
@nergdron Right??? My manager (a lovely person) insisted on using honorifics in emails, so I asked him to use Mx for me and he did and I get a little jolt of happiness whenever I see it.
@dconley that's lovely! my first job is definitely my first one where I'm out at work, and people have been really lovely, it's been such a weight off my shoulders.
@dconley awwww. I know that feel. it took me a long time to work my way up to, like, dresses in public. and I still get disphoria sometimes from things that don't fit right. but when they do... there's nothing like it. makes me so happy. :blush:
@nergdron Holy crap you look awesome in your avatar!
@dconley awwww thanks! my fave selfie from last summer. hair has purple in it now, but otherwise pretty representative. :smile:
@nergdron I'm not "out" to everyone, but there are a handful of people who know and I don't hide it. I paint my nails pretty regularly but stop short of makeup and skirts, sadly.
