@hober: @MavenOfMayhem I use “tran” as a singular, but only in in-group communication. “I’m such a dumb tran”, that kind of thing. I generally don’t use it like that when talking to cis people.

@hober: When it comes to privacy, “transparency, choice, & control” isn’t good enough. Web technology needs to be private by design, and private by default. https://t.co/ExLdDZqb4m
