AGAB, subpost but this time it's on main
I'm tired of people using AMAB (assigned male at birth) and AFAB (assigned female at birth) as a glorified replacement for MTF (male to female) and FTM (female to male)
the latter terms are much more obviously bad but people still keep using the former ones like they're somehow also good
like by AGAB (assigned gender at birth) do you mean:
people perceived as "biologically X" (note: does not necessarily match assigned gender)
people raised as a certain gender
people with certain genotypes (chromosomes and genes contained within them)
people with certain phenotypes (secondary sex characteristics)
people with certain genitals or reproductive organs
I'm not listing everything
like you're oversimplifying in the same harmful ways cis people do, so, stop
a few others while we're at it: the opposite of AMAB is not AFAB, and vice/versa (not all people are forced to conform to a binary gender at birth)
if you find yourself using any term as a substitute for "biologically X", then you're doing what cis people do, and you should stop. do use these terms to point out the way that cis people oppress, but don't use them as if they're actually representing any meaningful class of people, because I promise to you that any perceived benefit is not worth it

Tussen de 73.000 en 175.000 huishoudens in Nederland lopen het risico op vervoersarmoede, becijferde onderzoeksinstituut TNO deze week. Dat betekent dat je door te hoge brandstofkosten en weinig openbaar vervoer in jouw buurt niet overal kan komen, zoals het ziekenhuis of andere voorzieningen. Ook kun je soms een baan niet aannemen die je eigenlijk wil graag zou willen. Pointer liet eerder al zien wat dit voor mensen betekent:

storing the delay of db trains in minutes in an u64 just to be sure...
What would a computing environment look like that simply didn't support proprietary code on a technical level?

So, I'm sure this is a thing, but I know nothing.
I'm looking for a fictional historical account of how the world would be if the English, and specifically only the English, never colonized the Americas. Everyone else who did is allowed.
It's just something I've been thinking about recently for some reason.

Hello people. Here is my yearly post. This time I come bearing a gift in form of a keygen for a PlayStation 2 game Colin McRae Rally 04. You can find it here: https://p4t.xyz/keygen/
Warning: it is a complete keygen experience (has tracker music, but no malware)

Mijn sportschoenen trokken krom en krompen, nadat ik per ongeluk de wasmachine op drogen had gezet. Nu wil ik ze opnieuw kopen, want ze waren fantastisch, maar zijn ze nergens ter wereld meer verkrijgbaar.
Salomon S/Lab Sense 8 SG (Soft Ground) - maat 42. Wie ze kan vinden, mag mij tippen!

one thing glaringly missing from most leftist, including trans takes on fatphobia and fat activism is the barrier to care many trans people face due to unnecessary BMI limits on gender affirming surgeries.

I feel like one of the most fundamental problems of open-access (including online) communities is the asymmetry of policymaking discussions.
If you have made a well-considered but unintuitive policy decision, and you have already done all the work of reasoning through the implications, an influx of new people will forever keep trying to recycle discussions that you've already had and are already tired of.
But the people newly coming in have never had this discussion before, and are not familiar with the rationale! And even if they are willing to 'take the culture as it is' and learn it gradually over time, it's very difficult to know what is expected of you without having access to the background.
And so you end up with the same discussions and arguments being rehashed over and over again, eventually burning out the people doing the policymaking and causing the whole thing to fall apart.
And so far, I have not seen any credible mitigations for this problem, because "read the manual before doing anything" is an unreasonable ask and so is "you will just have to accept that those are the rules", in the general case.

Today on Valentines' Day, I'm calling for research into teleportation to finally end the tyrannical, transphobic reign of Distance and allow for the construction of a truly world-spanning trans polycule.
