zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 23:38:56 JST zip But say I’m wrong. Perhaps there’s folks out there who feel equally comfortable either way. People should still get to choose what happens to their body! Even if they might change their minds! _Especially_ with puberty blockers, which simply delay things.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 23:38:55 JST zip I kind of forgot while saying this that in their mythology we’re embarked upon a sinister project to propel cis kids through transition.
Obviously fucking not, dickheads. We recoil at the idea of someone being pushed to transition as hard as we recoil at the idea of them being pushed not to. It’s always self-led. How dare you accuse us of the same monstrosity that you are so determinedly perpetrating yourselves.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 21:00:20 JST zip People seem to think that hormones fundamentally don’t really feel like anything, that they just change your body and nothing else. Nothing is further from the truth.
Getting on HRT when you’re trans feels like you’ve been wearing shoes two sizes too small for your entire life and you’ve just got a pair that fits. Getting on HRT when you’re not has the opposite effect: instead you’re taking a drug that will cause crushing depression. It’s even on the side effects list!

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 20:40:15 JST zip Worrying that a cis person might take cross-sex hormones long term by mistake is like worrying that your child will go out and roll in the nettles if you let them in the garden. Sure. Hypothetically they might roll in the nettles. What they’re not very likely to do is go out there and roll in the nettles a second time. Meanwhile trans people are yelling to be let out of the nettle patch while being told that moving around the garden is dangerous and to stay put for our own safety.

If you want to be somewhere else by January 20th you should start now. By the 6th of November there will not be time, especially if there's a sudden increase in demand.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Thursday, 04-Apr-2024 19:08:26 JST zip there's something real fucking dark about how AI is too inaccurate for tracking people around a grocery store so they have humans to make sure every last item is paid for, whereas if your AI is generating targets for a genocide then a serious error rate is perfectly within acceptable parameters.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Thursday, 21-Mar-2024 20:02:41 JST zip By "supervise" I mean the shockingly common tendency, especially amongst those actively opposing self-ID, to believe that there has to be A Process and you need Proper Permission: in their minds ID should either out trans people every time or out the ones who haven't Done Things Properly.
There's no need for gender on ID. Perhaps it was helpful before photo ID, but now the only thing it can even do is facilitating discrimination.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Thursday, 21-Mar-2024 19:59:07 JST zip ID documents have three components:
1. Authenticating the issuer, eg with hard-to-do stuff like holograms
2. Authenticating the owner with biometric data
3. Authorizing the owner, ie, proving name, age, address.Where does gender fit into this picture? If it's proving who owns the ID, a photo does a better job and disallowing change discriminates against trans people by making their IDs unusable. If it's an authorization then its explicit purpose is to either supervise or out trans people.

zip (zip@wandering.shop)'s status on Sunday, 11-Feb-2024 08:05:18 JST zip it's fascinating hanging out in tech support spaces and watching people complaining that they bought gigabit internet and only get 100mbps, or bought 5 gigabit internet and only get 1 gigabit. people don't have hardware that can keep up with their internet connection and I bet most of them don't even notice
