IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

Is the trans <-> programmer connection as strong as they say it is? If so, why is that? I ask this as a person with a comp sci degree lol

[โ€“] Eco@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

i think there's truth insofar as a lot of english-speaking online trans culture is heavily influenced by either /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns or /tttt/, and both sites (reddit/4chan) are full of computer nerds

when you meet trans people irl the connection is much less pronounced

[โ€“] yewler@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That makes a lot of sense. Though the trans support group I attend irl is chock full of IT support people

[โ€“] Eco@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

yeah that's fair, i suppose that's just my experience. the last trans support group i was at was full of retail workers, retirees, and unemployed people shrug-outta-hecks

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

am programmer, can confirm, but i have known trans femmes of all kinds of jobs, and actually few other trans programmers irl

[โ€“] WalrusDragonOnABike 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least online, it seems pretty common.

Personally, I'm not a programmer but I have done some minor coding projects for work and I'm effectively the sysadmin/IT person for my workplace (I'm not exactly good at that and have no such training, but its a small business). My primary role for my job is education and I'd say the computer-related stuff is like a tertiary job role (and wasn't part of the job description at all... just something I've taken on over time).

The only other IRL trans person I know has just done basic customer-service-oriented jobs (things like working at a coffee shop), but has considered becoming a teacher (which seems like a bad idea in Texas as a trans person, but I don't think he wants to move out of state either). But idk if the trans <-> programmer meme is just trans fems or trans people in general?

Given that self-identified trans people tend to be more ostracized and are frequently autistic, its not really surprising trans people would typically end up in fields associated with socially-awkward introverts where remote work is more common.

Yep, this is basically my experience in a nutshell. When your computer becomes the place where you can be yourself without being completely ostracized, you tend to just find things to do with it.
