femtech????

...... putting aside the fact he actually got my industry wrong (lol) i think i loathe that word even more than "content creator" if possible.

good god are the techbros even ok (lol) (no)

(it's so weird b/c my tiny bubble of coworkers are so reassuringly all Normal gays(tm) compared to all the trad-extremes that family-friendly places can be.)

I learned a new word today and huh, wow, hate that actually! Feels far too close to, like, femoid...

Legitimately, I also forget outside of my own bubble, people are sure like this.

ok ngl, maybe my brain's just skewed because i hang out with so many transwomen, but i was like "oh femtech, is that like tech to make DIY bodymod-ing easier, it sounds kinda cyberpunk i could fuck with that"

then i googled & the top result was a mckinsey thing & the description was VERY much not cyberpunk. alas. i liked the version in my head better :P
