  • Or perhaps you are arguing that power will always be abused by individuals and thus we shouldn’t resist it and those that currently hold it in the form of capital…

    in which case…

    I never expect perfection in a human society, but I know for damn certain we can do better than what we do now and the improvements we can make are towards a more equitable society best expressed by socialist and communist thinkers alike.




  • It’s not that, it is when someone (correctively misgenders) as in they got the right gender and then when they catch a hint you might be trans or see something that points to your AGAB they switch it up and miss gender you. That is what the OP is about and I think this is what the comment was also referring to aswell.

    The OP is based on the common occurrence of this for MTF individuals, especially those that have grown out our hair… while someone may gender us correctly from behind, they sometimes (correctively misgender) when you turn around. This can be done with the best intentions in mind, like they thought they misgendered a guy as a girl, so they apologize despite the fact that the apology is in fact an insult at that point.

    I remember the first time someone called me miss in public I felt amazing, the second time it happened it crashed when they apologized and said sir. Instead of getting off work that day giddy because I was called miss, I spent the rest of the night disgusted trying to deduce what features made them question their first thought.


  • I am personally not in a postilion to correct people right now as I am still using my dead name with some people… in the future though I would LOVE to just say “no need to apologize, you got it right the first time.” Keeping in mind that for those that are working retail, it is probably best to politely correct whenever possible.

    Now just out right aggressive shit like when I heard some guy behind my back say something along the lines of…

    (was going to leave a very upsetting example here but decided to spare you the example, but let’s just say that while I am boymode-ing often it is obvious to many that I am either trans or queer based on my appearance)

    …as I was still working I just turned around and while my voice and words were nothing but polite… I am sure my expression did the trick because the dude shut up fast.

    (I hate my body (my height being one thing I wish I could change), but in situations like that, an upset expression from a 6’2" person is somewhat more affective)










  • NAACP LDF: How Police Have Failed LGBTQ+ Communities

    Today, violence by state and private actors against LGBTQ+ people of color, particularly against trans people of color, grows, as evidenced by the current wave of anti-trans laws, misinformation campaigns, and transphobic and homophobic violence.

    As we continue to push for a vision of public safety that provides for sustainable and healthy communities, it is crucial to remember that the police, and the criminal justice system as a whole, have long denied people safety because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender presentation – and have historically targeted LGBTQ+ people of color in particular. At the same time, LGBTQ+ people of color have an equally lengthy history of bravely countering these abuses and fighting for liberation.

    It’s The Systems Of Systemic Police Violence Against Minority Groups, Not Any Individualist Sentiments About Bad & Good Apples. Unlike Minority Identities Like Race & LGBTQ+, Policing Is A Chosen Profession, So It Is Not Reductionism When Criticizing The System Of Policing To Use Broad Statements About Police. The Police Are A System, Not A Collection Of People That Were Born Police.
    Furthermore, I have worked as a leasing agent in the past, and I will still say Fuck Landlords, Our Society Would Be Better Off Without Them.



  • You give that up that strategy and lean into fixing shit when you put the time in to customize the OS and desktop/window manager experience… at that point you should understand your system well enough to make fixing it easier, and you are also afraid of having to redo some of your customization. That being said, you still should make regular system backups, especially if you are tinkering with the OS experience a lot.
