  • 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.

    The majority of those are nothing burgers. They shut down their dedicated password app when they integrated its features into the browser, they shut down their encrypted file sharing tool when they realized it was being used for very nefarious uses, they shut down Positron and it’s affiliated projects because nobody started using it over Electron… and a lot of the rest are extremely niche (like viewing websites in 3d, cool but not all that useful).




  • If it’s to prove a point then they won’t pass the regulatory body, like when Ben Shapiro tried to get a bunch of mediocre male basketball players to pretend to transition to try to get them into a women’s basketball tourney. It didn’t work, because they were obviously not trans. It isn’t even difficult to tell, because they obviously don’t have the relationship with their gender trans people have. It would be hard to fake. And none of them were on hormones anyways so they wouldn’t have qualified in the first place.

    Estrogen supplementation on a male mind will cause gender dysphoria, so I don’t think they would be able to keep it up for very long. But say one does, why would they knowingly make themselves infertile with no benefit? I know I had to weigh fertility and HRT and only went with HRT because of the mental health benefits that come with it. A cis man pretending gets no benefit, but does get:

    • Infertility
    • Significant muscle mass loss (remember we are talking about male athletes, muscles are kinda their whole thing)
    • Gender dysphoria, as they are now taking the wrong hormones
