I’ve had a few trans boyfriends, and I was still attracted to them when they took their binders off ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Also, there’s nothing preventing them from stopping hormones if they start to grow bigger than they are comfortable with.

Found the American.

Ah yeah, based off what I read that makes sense with that wider age range.

• main cause of death among those aged 15–29

Is this an American thing? In Australia the leading cause is suicide, with auto accidents a distant second. However, it is the leading cause for 1-14 year olds.

There are plenty of people who need a better editor than GIMP considering how long it’s gone without a major refresh (this isn’t a whinge it’s been over a decade). For anyone that actually cares about their sanity there’s Krita, that actually tries to build a program for professionals.

Edit: Let alone Krita can actually be used by schools, while GIMP isn’t because of the name.

Oh thanks for the heads up, I wasn’t aware! I’ll have to check it out when it drops :)

The “user-agent” part of the script is the same as a browser’s user agent. So it’s trying to emulate a common user so the site doesn’t know it’s a script, and there’s not a more common user than a Windows one, so it’s lying about it.

Okay, I’m going to explain something here that I don’t think any of these professionals have. Especially because school has been pushing for this too.

When you give a person a medication solely to lessen “behaviours of concern” (fights and irritation) then that is a chemical restrictive practice. What does that mean? It’s a term that gets used in the disability field, alongside four other types of restrictive practices (mechanical, physical, environmental & seclusion). Now these aren’t always used for bad reasons. But if the school is pushing for her to take them due to behaviour issues, that’s a chemical restrictive practice. If the medication is to treat the symptoms she feels from her ADHD then that’s not one. So I think it’s important to ask yourself which is the primary reason. Using restrictive practices can be valid, but only really as a last resort.

You should check out what the Asahi Linux project has been able to do with the ARM Macs already, it’s pretty impressive.

Let’s get even more technical with MacOS X then. Which, btw, doesn’t exist anymore as macOS 11 was released in 2020 (tho it still maintains the BSD-legacy in the same way Windows 10 does the NT legacy). It is based on the NeXTSTEP operating system from NeXT Computers, who Apple bought in the 90s to famously also bring Steve Jobs back into the fold. The initial release of nEXTSTEP occurred in 1989, pre-dating Windows and Linux…

Okay, and? The person you replied to you is talking about ISO versus ANSI layouts… which define the rest of the keys on a keyboard. They were talking about QWERTY. So clearly there are other keyboard layouts that matter.

I don’t really see it this way. Fernwood, a women only gym, is allowed to exist. I don’t really see it as problematic for a discriminated class to seek to foster a space free from those who perpetuate that discrimination. Men-only spaces have existed for quite literally most of civilised history. I don’t think it sets a precedent for protected classes to be discriminated against as “art” because men aren’t a class that needs protecting (from discrimination about their status as men). This whole case just feels like a hissy fit.

Note for any other trans women in the audience: Fernwood as a company is trans-inclusive.

it’s mostly just internet lingo.

Spend more time around people under 25, while they’re around other people who are also under that age. I hear it a lot.

Edit: To be clear, I’m not even under 25. Just spend a lot of time with people who are. Makes you feel old when younger folks ‘code-switch’ and use different language choices with you…

If it makes you feel any better, same username but different instance, so you didn’t get any of the UI (web or app) flags to show you they were OP. I woulda totally made the same mistake.

I think most laptop’s still have the option of whether to boot or not when you plug them in with a dead battery.

and you really want to have a real discussion and i still really don’t give a shit. i’m not going to engage just because you tell me too. repeatedly telling me i should engage on “burning books is bad” is the transphobic part. i don’t need to explain myself or my actions. i don’t need to justify them to you or anyone else. now please, could you leave me the fuck alone?

princessnorah, 5 months ago

You’re right, my mistake. Still don’t give a shit. Still not going to be polite about it. Telling me to engage about this is the same sort of tacit transphobia as saying there’s still a debate to be had about trans people’s right to exist. A vocal minority of fuckwits does not mean there’s cause for a discourse.
