That's a good one! Does Hexbear have a guillotine emoji? Who am I kidding... there must be at least 3 I can choose from, right?

Oh wow, I wasn't actually sure there'd be three of them. Silly in retrospect, I know... by the way, is that a trans rights guillotine? I get that it's literally just a png, but -- hypothetically speaking, if the trans rights guillotine were real -- would it be chauvinistic of me as a cis person to request it? I feel like it might be OK as long as the executioner were trans and could vouch for me, but maybe that's asking for too much?

Well, in any case, thank you genuinely for sharing. This is a very new experience for me and so far it has been very enriching!
