I'm sure I've said this before and I shall say it again! One of the things I like quite a lot about Fedi is that I often don't know if the 'accounts' (people) I'm interacting with are male, female, both, neither or a secret 'nother thing. So I basically just interact with everyone in exactly the same way. And overwhelmingly people respond positively. Quite often I'm surprised when I see a pic of the person and they're not what I assumed. I like that. There's probably some deeper meaning to be gleaned from this, but I just think it's cool that I can be me - unfiltered me - and gender mostly doesn't ever even come into it. I realise this seems like a sort of 'look at me aren't I great' humblebrag post, but I actually mean it and think that's really nice. Oh you're a non-binary masc presenting lesbian? OK do you like SHARKS?! I don't know why I picked sharks. I was reaching for something neutral and that was apparently what my brain thinks of as the universal language. Everybody loves sharks.

@TheBreadmonkey This is me. You are welcome.

Lorne, or ‘The Host’, a demon from the TV show Angel. He could read your aura and emotions when you sang. He was effortlessly cool and showbiz. He is green with deep red eyes and small red horns on his forehead, with carefully coiffed spiky hair and a sharp suit, shirt and cravat.

@TheBreadmonkey My problem is the people I'm talking to are their avatars and then people go and change them and suddenly I have no idea who I'm talking to anymore. 😆

@TheBreadmonkey i also love this aspect of Fedi, that we all show up as we are and the main thing that is not tolerated is intolerance/unkindness. It regularly reminds me of how fantastic other humans are and can be 🩷
