When the first Macintosh came out there were very few keylayout - including none for Danish. I got the keyboard, and 6 loose keycaps. I designed my own key layout - and I am still using it. At some point I also created a Russian key layout for diplomatic use.

Interesting, just following the link got me blocked.

Sounds fun.

Don’t give up. I was also sure nobody would have an interest in me. It turned out that what I was trying to hide was actually what made it come true. We have a lot of common interests, which was what brought us together, and after years of dating, she proposed - she’s the more masculine.

Thanks. I’m still working on it. The right someone detected my femininity and proposed. I have been married for nearly 26 years. After 16 years I could not hide any longer - and she was fine with it. After years of gatekeeping I got access to HRT and registered as female.

In December I was told I was approved for surgery, and the first consultation with the surgeon is next week.

My parents knew I was a trans girl. They thought they could protect me by enforcing a male behaviour and placing restrictions on what I could do. I was isolated - physically - in elementary school. It resulted in self hate and it took me half a century to allow myself to be the real me.

Anyone assuming a probabilistic model to be able to give good advice in an individual case must also assume people to be deterministic. That may have been believable 75 years ago, but too naive for today’s world.

It looks like it is the “50th anniversary edition”.

I do wish people would stop using the term AI for everything that involves pattern matching. Specialised models from controlled and verified data can be very useful, while generic, adaptive models often result in waste of resources.

Having hidden myself for half a century caused by (gender diverse) parents that were afraid of what could happen to me if I started living authentically, I now have to deal with having lost a large part of my life.

It just tells me that there is less editing on the route from the heart to the mouth!

Involving ”trans+” in the mix just confuses the issue further, as some defines trans+ as equal to transgender, others as including “trans-adjacent” (including gender non-conforming!), while some redefines transgender to not include non-binary, etc. and lets trans+ include them again.

I have had a childhood ”protected” by genderdiverse parents in denial. I have no idea if this was caused by extreme incompetence or that they felt a need to protect themselves. I had to hide and create a false persona according to my assigned gender to survive.

My father asked me shortly before I underwent an open heart surgery at the age of 10 about my opinion on sex changing surgery. I was not really in the mood to discuss that issue then.

That’s a relief

Are you OK?

If this is a shield under the engine, this is for protection. I daily have to use bad narrow roads, where two family cars passing each other results in both needing to use the shoulder, with deep potholes and big stones, resulting in damaging not only rims but also engines if not protected.
