That train looks seriously awesome :p
ITT: people advocating eugenics on themselves. I hate it. I hate seeing it. And stuff like this is psychologically destructive to read for me.
If people here don't like others with similar traits to them advocating that their life and perspective is not valuable and that they should hate it and wish no-one new experience it, I recommend avoiding this thread - even moreso if you have suicidal tendencies. It was very upsetting for me ;-;, even though I personally have no intent to have kids.
We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t
They can't
Sounds like a challenge for transhumanist tech to solve 😎✊⚧️Ⓐ💻.
(Other people have covered the factual incorrectness here - the short of it is that (1) gender =/= sex and (2) "sex" isnt some monolithic thing but a complex, multi-axis thing itself - most of these axes are changeable to various degrees as well ^.^)
The uk has a serious surveillance state cultural problem.
And holy fuck is this dumb.
I am an anarchist and I do not want to be a strongman. You sound like you don't have even the most basic understanding of anarchism as a political concept <.<
Queer is awesome.
Also a lot of the "discourse" against it a few years ago was spread by terfs sooo yeah.
196 is a random content community with the simple rule of "post before you leave", so its filled with memes ^.^
It's also a very trans friendly place. But there was a thread recently with a bunch of "just asking questions", and "trans people are just oversensitive", and "I'm not a bigot, but most trans woman have a chip on their shoulder so I am no longer friends with them" kinda stuff, on a post a (trans) mod made complaining about people reporting a pretty questionable comment.
Even if people disagreed over the original comment, the thread about it ended up being transphobic as fuck.
So presumably the admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone (a trans-run instance, who host this, main, c/196 community, on the promise it would be very trans supportive) noticed the lack of moderation of that transphobic thread and are doing something about it ^.^
It was fucking gross.
People just openly calling "the majority of" trans people oversensitive and having a victim complex. Blegh <.<
I say "I'm autistic" at least 40% specifically to avoid people like you and weird gatekeeping crap, despite having been diagnosed for a long time.
You will never be "one of the good ones" and trying to force yourself to fit a mould, and shitting on other people who are less amenable/able to going through the entire structure, in a hostile and repressive and cruel society will not make them treat you better or provide accommodations more. <.<
I'm not getting into all the other issues with shitting on self diagnosis around class and accessibility and discrimination (direct or intersectional, e.g. trying to strip trans rights from autistic trans people, where diagnosis is actually dangerous, and people choose to avoid it if they have the option to do so even if they seriously struggle with negative aspects of being autistic) and hyperpathologisation and accusing people of being FaKErS because they aren't sufficiently miserable/self-loathing/self-hating or don't post their negative moments/experiences online. Autistic people are allowed to be happy and express it publically.
Honestly just sick and tired of seeing this shit in every single space I want to be part of, and pissed off ;p. I hoped this shit died when we collectively told Autism Speaks to fuck off, but apparently that was way too goddamn optimistic.
That's gotta be what, 4 hours from discovery to patch?
Impressive work from everyone nya :)
I love FOSS
I'm less worried about data harvesting - the fediverse is already public - and far more worried about Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, in which they cooperate at first but then start to use their influence to add proprietary extensions and push the rest of the community around (or even cut us off), or otherwise coopt the movement towards federated social media and reassimilate it back into their obscenely dominant and centrally controlled network >.<
Edit: My understanding is that they've already done this with XMPP, I don't see any reason to think activitypub will be different. I say defederate.
Go fash get financially smashed
