I mostly read things here. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Outside of Lemmy, I read things. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Like software documentation. Or maybe something else. Who knows what the day will bring.

    I get it, but I just want to point out that there are multiple forms of gender expression other than cis-binary and trans-to-other-binary.

    If someone wants to identify as male while either exercising a feminization kink, or generally performing more feminine than social expectations, that’s totally valid and okay and we should be discouraging anyone who adds to the societal shame pile such an individual already has to deal with.

    Fun fact, being in pronation for long periods of time can put pressure on forearm muscles and restrict blood flow, causing RSIs. It’s why a lot of ergo keyboards are tilted upwards towards the middle.

    On the other hand (hah), pronation is super useful for throwing athletes - especially pitchers. Pronating during a pitch gives the ball a spin, which makes it fly faster. But it also reduces pressure on the shoulder by using the forearm muscles as a natural shock absorber.

    The latter demonstrates one reason why we are “built like this”. It’s a very useful mechanism for survival, tool use, and agility. The former demonstrates one reason why our physiology is NOT “built for” for computer and office work.
