I was a bit into my transition when a colleague started explaining the basics of VHDL to me after I had pointed out to him that the bug in his design had all the hallmarks of an off-by-one. (Thanks, buddy, I have a postgraduate degree in this). I was so baffled because that sort of stuff had never happened to me before.

Then he was going over the code and explaining how there is no off-by-one when I pointed out that his integer type was indeed one bit smaller than it needed to be.

He of course tried to take credit for fixing that bug, but guess which girl was the one with merge permissions in gitlab.

I’ve also had several men try to explain to me how the vending machine in the office works, even as I was using it. That one gives me a laugh every time.

If I know my American movies right then that is where they will put Luigi

People speaking over me has indeed always been a thing, both before and after transitioning. The mansplaining otoh started after I came out and started hrt.

Glad to share! I’ve been using this recipe for over a decade. :) Here it is: https://www.cooks.com/recipe/b35cq61x/holiday-apple-pie-1968.html

Apple pie! My favourite recipe uses lard, of all things. Really delicious and it works as long as there are no vegetarians. ☺️
