I find myself curious about the use of "girls" so much more than "women."
Do those words have different connotations to trans women than they do to the cis women I mostly grew up around? At least in my generation there was a sort of effort to call ourselves "women" for feminist reasons, except for terms like "girls night", etc.
Since none of those words fully resonated with me, I haven't got much to compare it to.
And I wanted to know from trans women, what it feels like calling yourselves "girls" vs. "women", socially.
If this question makes sense?
To compare it to trans masc people, we don't seem to use "boys" colloquially near as much, and "men" feels Really Serious.

It's okay to be scared about your future as a nonbinary person.
You don't need to be fearless or even especially brave. All you need is to accept just enough uncertainty to experiment.
You'll find your way.

Just ended a 10 year friendship because they don't want to get angry about "the news" and "both sides" have screwed things up. Also has become antivax and says she would not vaccinate her children now if she had a choice. And finally, is very very resentful of Covid and the pandemic shutting down her life.
Bad day.

Srebrenica-Massaker: Ein Genozid, der bis heute nicht sein darf
Im Juli 1995 ermordeten bosnisch-serbische Soldaten und serbische Freischärler in Srebrenica 8.372 Bosniaken. International ist das Massaker heute als Genozid anerkannt. Viele Serben aber reden diese Taten bis heute klein. Von O. Soos.
Mit dem neuen #KalterKrieg verschärfen sich sich dort die Töne, besonders in der Republik #Srpska (siehe Milorad Dodik). Aber auch in #Serbien mit den Protesten wächst die Frage, wie es weitergeht.
Für mich wäre es unvorstellbar, die gegenwärtig nationalistisch geführten Staaten im Westbalkan der #EU beitreten zu lassen, so gerne ich diese Regionen mag. Solange es keine wirkliche Aussöhnung gibt, wäre das auch ein großer Instabilitätsfaktor.
Die Europäische Union ist dazu gerufen, sich vermehrt zu engagieren, Gesprächsforen zu schaffen und den Menschen Perspektiven zu schaffen.
Auch die Menschen aus #Srebrenica mahnen uns: Nie wieder. 🖤🕯

My goodness. I've been away from the #Perl community for years and years, but this hit me in the gut. mst was loud, passionate, potentially troubled, incredibly intelligent. So many projects were possible because of his work (Catalyst, DBIx::Class, Moose, etc). You touched a lot of lives, and made a lot of things live. Rest in peace, Matt.

Sauce was way too watery (got the wrong ingredients) but managed to save it somewhat. 🍝📷
aside it is kinda tragicomic watching github destroy whatever good will is left
be it the rotting of the product with hamfisted copilot integrations or the way in which the web ui reguarly breaks and needs refreshing
the gradual change from a freemium startup with a toxic work environment to a corporate unit with mass layoffs has been quite the ride but i honestly did not expect it to end with in app purchases to play a boilerplate slot machine
again it is an incredible scam that github is charging people once to generate the code and then once more to run the ci
i am in utter awe of a business model that makes buying a used car look honest and a gatcha game look generous

Help us with one last push out there, that there was an organic way. There is a community way. We must improve artistic agency and normalise more direct support, collaboration and mutual motivation.
These cost dearly in human exhaustion against a backdrop of terrible number go up models and infinite hurdles.
Be the ONE awesome person today or this week that drops a dono to an artist, or drops them a kind note of support, or helps them promote an event.
For heck sake, lift one another up.
Or quietly show up to a concert stream and anonymously chuck a thumbs up in the chat window. The community notices! Pretty low barrier, you might even find something new you like. Perhaps make some durable connections.
You'll be legit helping to keep creative fires from extinguishing and voices silencing.
And that is even more important when the world is in absolute shambles and we all could use a boost.
#RFFF25 is the absolute final thing I can do under this banner. Over to you.

I was mainly wondering if "girls", as a word, has an extra dimension in trans femme usage.
