I use

  1. sublime-text when not confined to a terminal
  2. nano for example with git's CLI
  3. vi/vim when the others are not available.

I didn't see this one coming... And I should have.

Glad to see you feel better.

Chiming in just to express my support, long with the other commenters.

It seems that you've at least found a tupportive and minful community here. I wish you to find one IRL too if that's not already the case. A good community really helps being well, happy, and attenuating anxiety.

I also wish that your family learn to identify and avoid hurtful acts and words.

In other words, I wish you conditions that help being at least safe and happy.

(Again, sorry if my message is clumsy.)

How does it work with non binary / isogender gender configuration (including agender, multigender, etc) and with gender fluidity ?

Well, considering that "transgender" and "non-binary" are both umbrella terms describy a great variety of experiences, it would be hard. NB even lies ousidet of the classical concepts of gender (at least in the cultures inheriting from the biggest colonial empires). So it's hard to undertand all who are under these umbrellas.

I am not able to properly communicate how I experience my own non binarity. I just, for as long I can remember thinking about my gender, have undertood myself as mostly a man but with fractions of me that were not a man. (three gender in toal) But how to make it understandable to someone that doesn't share the same experience ? I genuinely don't know. Even more complicated, even though I have a dominant gender (man), it is mostly linked to my body. I think my main gender would very easily switch if my body magically switched to be mainly female or mainly asexual. (Beware the polysemy, i'm not talking about the asexual orientation.) I guess I do not feel that connected to the notion of gender itself.

For the daily struggle, well... Let's just say I'm quite lucky I pass well as a white cishet monoromantic man, and don't suffer from gender dysphoria to my knowledge. And although I currently hae no IRL community to discuss with freely about this kind of experience, that's mainly because of social difficulties unrelated to my queerness.

All that, though, is the individual experience of a single enby. It cannot and must not be generalized in any way.

Would I be able to understand the experience of another enby ? Maybe, maybe not, it will depend on said experience. Same thing means I don't fully understand transgender experiences. I understand what transgender people manage to communicate, and I learn from that. But since I don't share their experiences, some aspects will always elude me. Still the same thing with the cisgender experience. I easily understand what can be externally observed, because the society I live in is built around cisgender people with traditionnal roman catholic christian gender roles.

The good thing is : fully understanding someone is not a necessary condition to fully accept and fully respect them. (But it is a contributing factor.)

Nothing but the true truth.

Good. Not enough, but good.

Oh, guess I learned another useful label for me, an AMAB trigender (man, woman, agender) demiboy. Pretty sure "AMAB demiboy" is considered loosely cisgender by most.

I personnally don't care about whether LGBT+ people and allies consider me transgender or cisgender, but I don't want to cause discomfort when presenting myself. (Especially since I'd like to join a local LGBT support and advocacy association, when I find one accessible enough from home). "Non binary" was already fitting enough to my taste, but "isogender" gives me a more tightly fitting option. It's litterally the first case described on the "LGBTQIA Wiki" page.

I wonder if the french equivalent is "isogenre".

EDIT : I see, in the other post in this community, that other labels that work too. For example, "demicisgender".

We know that Trump is only the chaotic mouthpiece for a much larger and much more problematic power structure in the USA.

A power structure that has been quietly and increasingly fucking the rest of us for decades. Trump simply ripped the mask off and got loud about it.

Not just in the USA. All around the world, mainly among the self proclaimed "(representative) democraties", which are many countries. (The openly authoritarian regimes are already authoritarian, but can still progress toward more intolerance.)

And yes Trump, while himself being the symptom of these systems current state, has acted as a catalyst for the march toward hateful authorianism.

Exactly why I created a new internet identity when I joined the fediverse with the intent to be open about myself.

My usual web identities are too tied to my civil identity, and the socio-political context in France is not so good, while still better than in the USA.

Moreover, I don't come from a very tolerant social background. I had to be really independant to begin deconstructing my previously learned biases. (A never ending effort.)
