@Elizafox Yeah, it's terrible. It's also still not uncommon for intersex children to be castrated, even when there is no medical reason for it. The "normalization" operations are often done for social reasons, and they can cause a lot more harm than good.
Here is a good video by an intersex person who had this done to them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHAYOvTdMI They were born with external genitals that appeared female, and internal testes. They were castrated shortly after birth, and because of that, they had to take hormones to go through puberty.

@dragon I did the same thing on PureOS, which also doesn't have 32 bit repos

@thufie Yeah, that's really annoying. I wish there was a key combo to just cancel the current stop job and move on.

@ghostwife@mastodon.social I'm pretty sure, can't remember that far back though.

@ghostwife@mastodon.social but I was born in April

@haskal I have a dual link DVI KVM switch for my GPU passthrough. I hardly need to use the passthrough now though, with proton/dxvk.

@tom I don't have this problem with music downloaded off of soulseek.

I read an article yesterday that made me rethink my stance on operations to correct hypospadias in children and infants. https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2013/02/hypospadias-intersexuality-and-gender.html
Hypospadias correction operations are closer to forced gender reassignment of intersex children than I realized. One in 125 children assigned male at birth have operations performed to correct hypospadias. Many of these operations also require circumcision, the tissue of the foreskin is used to construct a urethra.
The author is an intersex professor, and he shows how much of the medical literature on hypospadias tries to erase the existence of intersex genitals with inaccurate diagrams, drawn to look more like a "normal" penis that has a misplaced urethra.
