  • As a transfem I can say with certainty that I have had the same experiences. I’m not saying you should transition, I’m only saying that the behavior you’ve described doesn’t fit a masculine stereotype. This is good, because gender roles are for the straights.

    At the same time, there is something to be said for male socialization taking away some forms of emotional expression that could harm your ability to connect to other people. If you come across as stoic or quiet or overly self-conscious, you’re seen as someone who dislikes people. Obviously you aren’t, but this is a perception I struggle with as well. Arguably this difficulty in making friends isn’t a queer issue at all, it’s just a personality thing that you can work on by building confidence and doing more therapy.

    I’m sorry you’ve been feeling this way! You look super cute and super sad. If you aren’t already, you could cosider dating a girl who could provide some affirmation and help with beauty and such. From that photo, everything seems physiologically perfect, but I do get a certain vibe that is consistent with the things you’ve said. If you want some advice from random people here, I have some pointers:

    • The emo/goth look does nothing to make you less depressed
    • Try dyeing your hair
    • Try wearing lighter colors
    • Smile! :)

    You look great!

    Regarding your tech question, afaik lemmy and piefed are separate protocols, so if you have a multi-protocol app, crossposting might work better. (EDIT: Or, I’m told, they’re both ActivityPub-based and meant to work together, but at this point in time there are differences in the details that complicate things a little.) Otherwise an instance would need to be compatible but run a bridge that handles that. I wish these things were better connected, thinking specifically of the divide between ActivityPub and Diaspora, as well as Bluesky’s formerly defederated state.
