It is not “pointless nitpicking”. It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what “sex” is
3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one “in casual conversation” considers someone “sexless” when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the “sex” of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can’t imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I’m not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they’re never gonna let you into the car.

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

“Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.

Identify a magazine which is prone to spam, scroll down to “Moderators”, click the icon of the index finger pointing upward. Click it.

Request modship and then wait as nothing happens.

When I was around 8, my dad made the comment that it would have been easier for a trans lesbian to find partners if they’d never transitioned.

Profferers of that view reveal they see women as fungible, else they’d comprehend lesbians want to date lesbians.

when isn’t kbin being funky

As I said, though, this funk is fresh.

Still the best way to interact with activitypub.

That was supposed to be a reply to this post but kbin is being a little funky fresh at present.

Here’s another source if you get through all of QZAP with no results (or just want another batch to look through).

Here’s a wiki which may help your search.

Here is a further resource.

Here’s another you can search through as well.

Here’s an archive which probably won’t help your search, but while I’m linking things you should totally check out regardless

I have a notification waiting for me, but I get a 404 on the page to check it out.

Append ?p=1 at the end of the URL; that sometimes fixes it.

Next, relax.

I saw the term “threadiverse” being used to group all Reddit alternatives interoperable with the Fediverse.

Yeah, but Meta’s fucked up the application of anything containing “thread”.

Recently, Oklahoma always wins

Are they allowed to just always do that Rodgers and Hammerstein number each year or are they forced to switch it up?

The objective metric is how high and long you can draw out notes.

Doesn’t that unfairly favor states at higher altitudes?

Kbin/Mbin is still the only platform(s) to try to bridge the two.

Moreover it seems to have better discoverability than mastodon Mastodon. I can type a word or phrase in the search bar on kbin and find “Mastodon” posts whereas I’m stuck viewing whatever is timeline trending on Mastodon proper unless I follow someone or can figure out whatever hashtag person might have affixed to their post.

Even with kbin being down a good 1/5 of the time it remains the best ActivityPub viewing experience (in my).

😒

If you have a couple of Alexa devices

…then you have a couple too many. Why do you want Jeff Bezos listening to your fuck?

I said that already, mbin might be good but I didn’t like the advertisement.

I’m not quite sure what your position is. I am by no means an mbin booster. In fact I find some of the people pushing mbin over kbin (in lieu addition too) jerks about it.

This whole thread has been about the similarities I noticed between comments people made about/to Ernest previously and the sort of comments we later learned led to the xz backdoor.

When I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, “Waaaaitaminute, I’ve seen that sort of talk before.” I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.

People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.

Touch grass

Suck ya mudda

Piefed also looks promising.

That one interoperable with Mastodon like Kbin is?
