Being out is powerful. It makes others safer, if you can be.

This is thirty years now since I began my journey. Next year will be the anniversary of my legal documents!

Never let them to you we're caricatures.
Never let them tell you we didn't exist before.
Keep learning.

#TransDayOfVisibility
A trans flag, with the soft blue, pink, white, pink, blue, horizontal stripes representing the transition in gender with white for nonbinary in the middle.  It waves in front of a blue sky and the Santa Cruz clock tower on the trans day of visibility 2019. All the Gear, All the time.  A diagonal framed photo of a woman in full protective gear on an electric motorcycle a used 2014 Zero model S.  She is celebrating getting her motorcycle endorsement in 2020.  The bike is gloss and matte black with a white hoof-print motif on the tank.  Her gloves and boots are black, while her jacket is cream mesh while her baggy overpants are a desaturated tan.  She has a shoulder bag in many color patches worn cross chest, and her helmet has a stars and stripes and checkered flag motif in neon colors.

My cat lived that period, too! Well, '82 to 2002.

I loved him! I had him trained to hand signals. Wait, come, up, look at this or that... Wait was so useful!

Isn't this also 1984?

And why is it not also 2024, assuming they have their console or computer streaming to the main screen...

...Tho if it's wifi streaming, they'll just wave their phone at it and take over the screen.

And the argument about cars? That's 'whataboutism' and a classic misdirect. Cars aren't designed to kill people.
crissakentavr.bsky.social
That's called 'a false dichotomy'.

There's alot of space between 'secret police are the only ones with guns' and 'every nutcase has a gun in their pocket'.

And as much as I hate what ICE is doing, that's not even it, either.

That seems more your problem than mine. You'd better hope no one makes an easy modification, then.

We don't need these on the street or in homes. It's a complete re-write of the 2nd Amendment, and we don't need to continue following that death-pact.
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Oh, that's interesting!

I would have assumed each would be different enough to fit differently.

But I'd think laws based off of mechanical functional differences like this would be a better line for laws to be based off of?

A lookup table is an algorithm tho.

We kinda get into this pattern that as our ability to create more and more sophisticated algorithms we stop considering the previous generations as intelligent at all.

But that's like saying a fly or paramecium isn't on the scale of decision making.

Were there gen 1 and gen 2?

Didn't want your clarification to be wasted.

Let's patch the thread since the troll excluded herself:

"They" in this context is its plural form in reference to people calling to hold Newson to task in the sake way they called Disney on behalf of Kimmel.

It isn't being used in singular form, as referring to a singular individual was NOT my intent with that post. Apologies for the confusion.

This also sounds like Gamergate rhetoric.

Notice there's no citations, no supporting evidence.

I've used 'math' not 'sophistic cartwheels'.

0 anti-trans bills and amendments have made it past Senate filibuster this session.

Literally you're doing what you're saying I'm doing.
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Citations: None.

Also, there are only 45 Democratic Senators, 45 < [hundreds]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

"Don't fucking patronise[sic] me"
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Citation: None.
Verified?: Nope.

Interesting that instead of using any actual data, you resort to insults.

'Blocking every anti-trans bill and amendment this session' is a bit more than 'less shit' than 'Voting for every anti-trans bill and amendment'.

And to me, "Ask a trans person" sounds like today's "Not my shield" from Gamergaters.

It's a form of false authority, a fallacy. What does being a trans person have to do with being able to do statistics?

It always takes so much more to rebut a fallacious argument than it takes to make it. x-x

Single pundits *is* too many.

But it is *NOT* 'Democrats', as that's a group that nearly all of them *don't* blame trans people, and in fact defend us.

So why would you cite single digit percents as representative of a group?
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Hi. I'm a trans person. I am not going to lie to you. I transitioned thirty years ago. I've been discriminated against at work.

'Dems blamed us' - citation never cites majorities, but single pundits.

Dems passed AB 86. In Congress, blocked every anti-trans this session.

Have you been lied to?
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Right, which is why I referred to Democrats, who are the ones involved in passing and calling for it to be enacted.

Weirdly, there are people who want to distract or hide that Democrats are nearly unanimous in protecting trans people's rights.

So I just made it explicit, for optimism. ^-^

My governor isn't enby and therefore a 'they' wouldn't refer to him.

Hence...

Literally these were already passed by Democrats in the California legislature.

Whereas the TV show gives space to set and develop the characters - especially the others - they're mostly just names to the eponymous character. It's not just written from his point of view, *it's written from his point of view*, literally only including details that were important to the action.
crissakentavr.bsky.social
Still up at Mom's; she's doing well. But got some light novels to pass the time. This one is much lighter than I expected; the TV was oh so good. Whereas this is *written* in such a peculiar way. If I hadn't liked the character from the TV show so much, I'd have given it a miss; but it's right.
Cover of _The Murderbot Diaries_ by Martha Wells.  It shows in medium frame a figure in white sci-fi armor with a darkened faceplace.  The entire graphic is a gradient from a reddish violet at the sky to greenish blue at the hips, where the cover cuts off.  There's a sticker that says, "MURDERBOT • STREAM ON • (closed Apple glyph) tv+".  The series name, two novella titles, and the author's name are connected in a frame around the image by yellow circuit traces.

I wonder if it's because 'where something ships from' is a complex web. Some people will have shipping points from other countries... Importing or printing stickers inside a different country which might be theirs, the buyer's, or a third one. Or more than one.

Of course, the answer is a list.
crissakentavr.bsky.social
I wouldn't.

AI is everything from the fuzzy logic in my washer to the multi-step LLM powered calculous operators.

We need something to relate to artificial content manglers as they're the part people are upset about.
