Google could have outed me

I had set a notification for a personal one year milestone last year, and my mom, who I had never linked my own account to, got a calendar notification. She asked me about it, and it could've been genuinely dangerous if I wasn't already out to her as trans. Why did she get this notification despite me never linking our accounts?

What casting would you (have) liked to see for a musical movie?

It doesn't matter how old the actor was at the time the movie was made (if they would have even been born yet), or how old they'd be if it was made now. And of course, it doesn't matter whether or not the musical has actually been made into a movie yet.

What is your favorite versatile recipe modification?

Personally, when I make a chicken casserole, I like to use skin-on thighs so I can cut the skin up into little bits and mix it in with breadcrumb or cracker toppings. I especially love to mix chicken skin bits with ritz crackers, butter, and poppy seeds for a poppy seed chicken casserole or panko and parmesan for a chicken parm casserole.

Why do people act like transmascs are inherently less trans?

I swear, so many people equate transness with femininity. When it comes to transmasculinity, it's treated as lesser and a lot of people like to pretend that trans men and transmasculine people don't face oppression and are just instantly accepted as our true genders the second we start asking others to use different pronouns. People assume that we have more access to services like healthcare and housing, wile that is blatantly untrue. They ignore the rhetoric spread by terfs and books like "irreversible damage: the transgender craze seducing our daughters" in order to claim that we aren't specifically targeted. They ignore forced impregnation as means to forcibly detransition us, and the worst of them even try to claim that we're weaponizing our fertility/anatomy against people who can't get pregnant. Apparently the permanent damage to our bodies is less important than their momentary discomfort.

I'm sick of transfem defaultism.

Trans women/fems are always seen as the default when it comes to trans issues, and that hurts all of us. Transfems are hyperscrutinized and made out to be villains, and that frequently puts them in dangerous situations. I'm not trying to downplay that.

On the rare occasion that transmascs are acknowledged at all, we're seen as either whiny bitches who don't know what's good for us or as monsters betraying our divine femininity. Either way, people think we need to be "corrected/fixed/set right." It's fucking gross and so exhausting.

When we try and talk about our issues, it's either "just misogyny" or "just transphobia." If we try and point out that any issue we face is specifically (or even disproportionately) related to being transmasculine, it immediately gets shut down. Some people in the trans community will do anything they can to downplay and discredit trans mens' lived experiences.

I'm terrified of dinosaurs.

I have an extreme fear of dinosaurs. When I was 4 years old, I remember waking up to a news report about the Jurassic Park ride opening at Islands of Adventure in Orlando. It scared me half to death and gave me nightmares for a few years.

About 3 or 4 years later, I was dragged into the Bill Nye/Ellen Degeneres ride at Epcot and was hyperventilating and sobbing the entire time. When I was 12 or 13, I assumed the fear would be gone and agreed to go on the Jurassic Park ride. I had the worst anxiety attack of my life and couldn't even look up to see the animatronics for most of the ride.

Still, to this day, I can't handle animatronic dinosaurs. I can't handle the thought of dinosaurs at all. I can't swim in any body of water that's not clear to the bottom and I can't shut my eyes underwater. I have to wash my face one side at a time so I don't have to close both eyes and watch while a dinosaur tries to kill me.

I'm so glad dinosaurs are dead, but I wish they were forgotten.
