I didn’t think I was going to want to, but as I start to pass more I started to hate getting deadnamed or misgendered when using my credit card/license/accounts. But if I knew how much work it was going to be when I started I probably would have put it off longer!
I love the community feel of joining an instance related to my identity. There’s something a little romantic to me about exploring the fediverse from my home base of a cute little pod of trans people. And also more practically, I trust in our ability to defederate from the hate. The idea of creating a friendly, welcoming place for queer folks and having the power to sanitize our own space sold me on lemmy/foss/federation instantly.
