That life made me feel caged and unwell. Chasing the gender binary is a trap. I want liberation from that cage as well. I don’t fit into that box and I’m sick of fighting myself about it!

This Toy illegally Spied on 6.4 Million Children
It’s pretty impressive how badly VTech screwed up. It’s not surprising how much attention is turned to punishing the coder who discovered the vulnerability and reported it with zero expectation of pay to get it fixed.
