One of those things that's worth keeping in the back of your mind:

Things tend to change at the orders of magnitude.

What you need at 99% reliability is not the same thing you need at 99.9% reliability is not the same thing that you need at 99.99998% reliability.

So when you see people confidently assert that "let's just throw a neural network at it" you should immediately be asking "what is the cost of a failure."

Cis people sitting with each other and saying "protect trans kids" to each other and then undermining that in every interaction with a trans person or in any opportunity to actually support trans people is…

…well, it's definitely a thing.

If you are a cis person and you have "trans rights are human rights" in your bio I am generally going to assume that you are not a safe person.

Similarly. If you put "Ally" in your bio I am going to assume you aren't one.

Not because it is bad to flag that "Trans rights are human rights," but because it is too easy: you are really only advertising who you are to followers and potential followers, and that is a very easy thing to do without having done the work.
