Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

I know about Hexbear and wanted to mention that it was a Hexbear user but this ironically happened just a moment after I made my own Hexbear account. I know some of the users there are extreme, particularly that user, but the community overall I find worth it.

That said I have to wonder what you mean when you say to avoid getting in trouble and to stay safe. Is there a history of people being harassed or harmed by those groups?

Yep, and it wouldn’t be very far back in my history if you want to see it. My last comment in that convo started with “ugh”. I was talking about transgender issues with someone who was extremely argumentative and kept strawmanning my beliefs so I told them in no uncertain terms that I was done with the conversation and blocked them. Later I decided to unblock them and discovered that they had replied not only to that final comment continuing to tell me I’m a bad person for their strawman interpretation of what I said, but to another comment I made in a different thread.

So this person who is actively insulting me also has the ability to follow me around and continue insulting me, and blocking them just makes me unable to defend myself.

Actual functional user blocking. I don’t want users being able to see my comments and reply to them when I have blocked them and I was totally surprised when they did.

“Natural byproduct of the cheesemaking process” is the key term here. They don’t chop up blocks of cheese to get curds, curds are curdled chunks that form when the cheese is still liquid.

Almost all contain nickel and nickel allergies are common. I have it!

You may be allergic to the metal (IIRC nickel) in normal metal glasses if that’s what you have. For people with that, which is common, titanium is the only metal kind that will work.

At least on r/Firefox, that was partly due to an enormous uplift by the moderators to keep it not toxic. I become a moderator there specifically because of the pervasive anti-Mozilla toxicity.

As a former moderator of r/Firefox… We inherited this from reddit.

Can you give a summary of why that is?

AGP = autogynophilia: the idea that a person is a trans woman due to a sexual interest in having a vagina

HSTS = Homosexual Transexual: the idea that a person is a trans woman due to being a homosexual male, in other words that they are transitioning in order to have sex with straight men

Trutrans sounds like it just means “valid” as in they will claim a lot of trans women aren’t trans women unless they are trutrans. Also, it may be those who insist that some are not actually trans because they say they don’t experience gender dysphoria or because they don’t want general surgery.

All of which are old, unsupported, and frankly regressive ideas.

Those are a lot of new words. I kind of want to ask, but I kind of don’t want to know

Greentext isn’t evidence…

But his hair looks like the stereotypical description of Frankenstein’s monster, not Dr. Frankenstein who as far as I am aware doesn’t have a stereotyped hair style

That said, my favorite pedantic response would be: Dr. Frankenstein was the monster. And his child should share his last name anyways.

Yup. My belief is that we are likely to eventually combine the categories of transgender and differences in sexual development (formerly known as intersex) as we discover more about it’s biological origins. The vast majority of people have never been karyotyped and have no idea what their chromosomes are.

There isn’t any evidence that that happens (non trans people receiving gender affirming care based on a false view that they are trans)
