That's kinda beautiful. Thanks for sharing that and the Hexbear background.
it was kinda wild how long i was on here telling all my trans comrades "wow, somehow what you say reminds me so much of my experiences, even though i'm not trans at all" lol. but still, it helped a lot to have a space were being trans and playing around with your pronoun tags is something that's just normal.
That's really awesome. While I'm cis-(mostly)het, I'm close to several trans people in my life, some of whom have had significant struggles because of their gender. Hearing about such tools for self-exploration and acceptance is wonderful and you Hexbears continue to make my heart happy since federating.
It's such a simple tool and it does so much for people who want to explore their gender or who don't (yet) pass well enough to get gendered correctly or who basically never get gendered correctly because almost nobody just assumes you're enbie. It just instantly creates a space where everybody only knows you as your true self. I hope that other instances reach out to our devs and implement the tag system as well.
