This was touching, insightful, and damn funny, too. The angle of telling the story through command-line interface was intriguing and made me feel a little bad for neglecting my old linux box.
I also really appreciate you doing the work to untangle the difficult feelings of being transgender while still desiring things that oneself or others may perceive to be as in conflict with one's "destination gender". It took me some time to grapple with those feelings, and I stumbled into a long (but not permanent!) detransition along the way. So, I'm glad you were able to put that struggle into this story. Thank you so much for making this!!
