It's natural as a queer person to seek to protect yourself, because the world is more dangerous for us.
Isn't there something also about expressing oneself in here? With the limited freedoms society gives our bodies and behaviours, hacking our hardware to get it to do as we please is a form of liberty, and of self-expression. With a healthy dose of show-them-the-middle-finger to everything oligarchic, capitalistic and conservative that dominates the world around us.
That, of course, with the desperately needed privacy on top.
Yeah I can express myself like this without worrying about what people irl think of me.
