In this hopeful video, a trans woman and a "Moms for America" member go from deeply entrenched positions to mutual respect and empathy just by listening to each other. A powerful reminder to see the person, not the politics.

Seems like more trans people managed to pass though AI CIS filter and successfully register to app. Would it be funny if app would have more trans people than actual CIS if we collectively go and try to get in??? That would epic failure :D So much money and time just wasted on app development.

You're partly right. It's tiny (all volunteers, $10k revenue) but not literally "one man." Founded by 2 women (1 left recently), run by unpaid genocide prof with international volunteers. More like small academic activist network than major institution. Limited UK political weight

How about non binary people, where do they go?

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the tone of mainstream media seems to be softening when discussing transgender people. Even in sports coverage.

Katy, you've genuinely changed my mind on issues I thought I understood - that's rare. Your sacrifice of precious free time while juggling real life to fight for our rights doesn't go unnoticed. You're a champion making real difference. Thank you for fighting for us 💙

You right about scaling. Mobile constraints meant choosing between readable recent data vs consistent intervals. The 1200% jump from 2014-2024 is the key story-uniform scaling would either crush that into unreadable pixels or lose the 20-year context entirely. Data resolution should match the story.
