Fortgeführter Thread

- Ein #Flamenco Auftritt, ist aber noch Wochen hin.
- An dem Aushang vorbeigekommen. Ich hatte ja eine regelrechte Flamenco-Phase, allerdings in Büchern und Platten; in Spanien war ich nur einmal.
Eine zeitlang ging ich jede Woche in ein spanisches Restaurant, wo abwechselnd zwei, drei Acts auftraten und zu jedem größeren Event, wo die 'Gastarbeiter'-Spanier sich in Schale schmissen und auch hingingen.

Whelp, I was too lazy(add) to get around to finding a new instance before my old instance was shut down (Yeah THAT one). The signs were coming for a long time, I just had other priorities. Now I am trying to recreate my account and connections from there.

So new instance, time for an #introduction post. (I never actually did an introduction post on my old account).

My name is Claire, and I am a #transgender woman. Although I have sort of known I was a woman since early puberty, I didn't accept it and decide to transition until my mid 50s. I have been fully out as a #TransWoman and living my life as a woman since May, 2024. My transition is still ongoing and is a big part of my life. My posts here are going to talk a lot about transition. I talk a lot about my transition in person too. I am still only attracted to women, so that makes me a #lesbian.

Besides being a hot mess of a #trans girl, here's some things about my life:

* I work in tech. I am a Principal Engineer for a big tech corporation. I work on and around media streaming tech.
* Before streaming media I worked on computer games, chances are you've heard of a couple of them.
* I am passionate about #music and especially #LiveMusic. I have eclectic tastes and fangirl about many different genres, mainly contemporary ones. #Indie, #IndieFolk, #LatinPop, #Reggaeton, #alternative, #flamenco, #punk, #NewWave, #PostPunk, #industrial, #goth, #DarkWave.
* #cycling is my main way of staying physically active (besides going to dance clubs with my friends), I try to ride at least 3 days a week. Message me if you want to follow my #strava account.
* My politics are #liberal, with mainly #leftist leanings, but most of my hard core lefty friends think I am too conservative. I generally don't get into politics here except for #LGBTQA , #feminism , and overall #humanrights
* I used to study #photography, but it's been a while since I've been active. I just bought a couple of film cameras that I hope will inspire me to shoot more.
* Mom to 3 awesome adult daughters, 2 of whom are #twins
* I have 2 dogs, that I co-parent with my ex-wife.

Posts from this account are intended for a #transgender and/or #queer audience. If you are not #trans or clearly super gay from your post history I won't accept the follow. If you are just interested in my political stuff, follow sfba.social/@techno_serf

***Edit:** because I left out a couple of important things*

Currently checking this video about a vocal teacher learning #Flamenco vocal style in Sevilla. It's really good so far, though it's challenging my comprehension level of spoken Spanish somewhat (I'm sure the video itself has subtitles, but yep, can't see those).

Learning from music
Fascinating music is always created through the fusion of different cultures and backgrounds. That's why we are fascinated by flamenco from Spain and the jazz of the southern states of the USA. And the most important thing with music is to listen to each other, good music has never been created against each other. You can try that in your own country if you can't love the world. I think it's an imposition that I have to be the hippie now. If you think it's shit, then at least chop each other's heads off. And hurry up ... I wanted to be home for Christmas.
