@tristan_social The way the first thing you said was "is she trans?" made me so happy. Like, us being normalized isn't something we see often but it felt so wonderful to hear. You're awesome king!

@keffals I told my mom if I hadn't transitioned, I probably wouldn't have survived more than a couple of more years. She then told me how selfish I am for transitioning. So yeah.

I'll say this about Red Wings twitter since apparently I missed some shit. I was intimidated AF to get into it. It did seem a bit cliquey but overall tight knit. But, then I got the courage to DM some people in it and I've gained a bunch of friendships from it and I love them.

Hey @Buccigross , would love to see you talk more about Mo Seider, who has 37 points in 52 games as a rookie defenseman, plays near elite to elite level defense and throws hits like these. Should be the obvious Calder frontrunner.

This past weekend at work, a woman I was serving had her 3 year old daughter with her. And the daughter said to her "Mummy, I want cool pink hair like she has" and if a 3 year old can properly gender me, then adults really don't have an excuse.
