  • Trans woman here. If you’re close with me, and I bring up something about my transition, then acknowledging that and the “that’s awesome” part you’re talking about is good.

    If you’re simply commenting on my clothes or something, unsolicited, then simply treat me as you would any other woman.

    I’m privileged enough to pass as cis without really doing anything special so this doesn’t come up often, but it’d feel weird, uncomfortable, or condescending, and possibly make me feel unsafe coming from a stranger. Now, if I were out wearing trans pride colors or something like that, then acknowledging that in a positive way would be welcome and cool.

    Also, as others have pointed out, transsexual is a rather dated term and is generally has negative connotations. The correct term is transgender.

    TLDR: Treat us as you would any other person. If you like my outfit or something, and you’d say it to a cis person wearing it then that’s good. If you wouldn’t say it to a cis person, you probably shouldn’t say it to a trans person.




















  • If you want to tinker with it (probably quite a bit until you get it nicely tuned), the Ender 3 pro for $75 is a good deal. I’ve got one, and with some minor upgrades (raspberry pi running Klipper+Mainsail and a bed leveling sensor) it’s been great. I saw you mentioned using Linux and tinkering with that, so you’d probably be able to get things working well.

    After you’ve got a bit of experience, I definitely recommend connecting it to a Pi or other computer to run some kind of web interface for printing, it’s much nicer than messing with an SD card every time. Klipper (firmware alternative!) isn’t too hard to set up (I’m using Mainsail as the UI) and it’s been great. Before that I had Octoprint with the stock firmware which was super easy to set up but more limited.

    If you want to just plug it in and have it work perfectly right away, I’ve heard Bambu labs is best for that, but they’re much more walled garden than other brands.
