help trans people by teaching them about diy hrt. it's way more effective than putting pronouns in your bio. read up on how HRT works on https://transfemscience.org and learn about which sellers have been tested by a third party on https://transharmreduction.org/hrt-testing

edit for context: the frustration in this comment isn't directed at op but at LGBT people that are like "be gay do crime!" but when it comes to actually doing crimes and being LGBT they suddenly care a lot about what the law says trans people should be allowed to do. all bark no bite. though that's not relevant to my point, I mostly just want people to learn about diy hrt

If you can't leave you should be looking into firearms education look up SRA, Pink Pistols, and concealed carry as often as possible. Seek out LGBTQ firearms education like farenough_42

Nah, Reagan did it easy. Plenty of people will be totally ok with banning guns if THOSE PEOPLE start carrying and using them.

Ammo isn't, from what I hear. However arrows can be made out of any relatively straight and light material.

Yeah, that’s fair.. it’s unfortunate, it’s a really important feature

Im just trying to help. The post body doesn’t federate to mastodon, so nobody there will see it. Alt text e.g. captions does though. This is one of the main reasons image captions were added to Lemmy.

Nobody is stopping you from using both either. However is you have an accessibility concern with captions, you should definitely report is to the Lemmy devs so they know and can make the implementation better.

Huh? In what world is it ableist to advocate for/promote the use of a real accessibility feature over a workaround that doesn't work on all platforms on which people might be seeing this content??

In a world where the person "advocating" a feature who isn't actually advocating for anything at all, doesn't even consider that not everyone on the fediverse uses lemmy, and that not everyone running lemmy has it up to date, but most importantly, calls an existing and perfectly valid and literally harmless accessibility solution "abuse" because they don't like it for whatever reason.

literally harmless accessibility solution “abuse” because they don’t like it for whatever reason.

Well, I am calling it "abusing the post body" because it doesn't federate to all services. Captions (or as Lemmy calls them, alt text) does federate better as it was designed to use a more standard federation data type that Mastodon understands.

So, using the post body for captions actually kinda is harmful in the lens of Mastodon users, and other federated services that don't support Lemmy's post body.

That's true I would make feature request to those clients to add this very important functionality.

I am the developer of Voyager, but there are many great Lemmy clients out there! ;)

There are, but yours is the best! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done!

Autocorrect got me, not Lamar. Levar Burton hosted a show called Reading Rainbow and also played chief engineer Geordie La Forge in Star Trek

Thanks for alerting me to the typo. Also I’m posting all this from Voyager, which is great. Keep up the good work 👍
