Most stuff on here doesn't have to be content warned. The warning is for assuming the gender of the viewer not for the target audience for the meme. For example, a meme saying "you are a girl" needs a CW while a comic about a girl saying how much she loves being a girl doesn't. The posts needing those warnings are fairly rare.

I don't think I've seen anything that would need the other CW posted here to begin with.

I'm also not a very active moderator. I'm only checking here about once a day and I'm usually more concerned with comments since that has historically been where the issues have been. This community doesn't have a lot of activity and has largely been supplanted by others on this server.

Can you please explain how saying education and economic advancement shouldn't be tied to athletic performance supports the abolishment of women's sports leagues?

It's very much not okay. In general, imposing labels on people is a bad thing. Doesn't matter how much better someone thinks they know, people get to explore their identities in their own way and at their own pace.

When I see someone imposing the egg or trans label I generally point them to the egg prime directive here.

When someone is just told they are trans, that opens ground for denial; it activates defense mechanisms built by internalized transphobia, and it has a high probability of pushing them further into the closet, if not making them outright transphobic. Even when it doesn’t, it leaves ground for their own subconscious to reject their dysphoria, claiming that they were just manipulated or deceived. The much more effective strategy is to talk about your own experiences with dysphoria so that they see the common grounds and come to their own conclusion about their gender. The code doesn’t forbid helping them to explore their gender; it forbids assigning a gender to them. Or, to put it more succinctly, you cannot be told what the Matrix is; you can only be shown.

As to why some people don't follow that. Either they don't know better, in which case educating them should fix it, or they are simply [epithet of your choice here]. Any community of sufficient size will have bad actors in it.

A 1% false positive rate is probably going to be to high to reliability report every positive to the FBI. The rate of actual CSAM is likely to be much lower than this. If it's 1 in 10,000 uploads, you will have 100 false positives and 1 true positive.

Nope. But it might get old the nth time or if you didn't do something you think shouldn't of outed you.

It's kind of the paradox of being stealth. If you are successful no one notices. So you don't get feedback that you are successful.

Image description: 4 panel comic titled If Trans People Said the Things Cis People Tell Them.

Panel one has an androgynous individual talking to a woman. The androgynous individual, "To me, you are 100% a girl, you know?" The woman has a look of confusion and disgust and responds with, "Wow, thanks."

Panel two has the same androgynous individual speaking with a man. The androgynous individual is saying, "It's so incredibly you look just like an actual boy!" The man is rubbing the back of his head in nervous confusion and says, "Yeah, I... am one?"

Panel three has the androgynous individual speaking with someone of ambiguous gender. The androgynous individual says, "I would never have guessed you were cis! Congratulations!" The other person is looking at them with an expression of confusion and concern.

Panel four has the androgynous individual speaking to a man. The androgynous individual says, "I think you are so brave for being who you are." The man is frowning at them.

The comic is credited to @assignedmale on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr and SophieLabelledraws on YouTube. Their merch is at assignedmale.etsy.com and Pateron is at patreon.com/sophielabelle

There is !asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Those of us who watch the local feed will see it.

There's also not so many posts in most communities that you need separate spaces to ask questions. So any community related to the question should be fine. !LGBTQ_plus@lemmy.blahaj.zone is probably the most general one here.

[-] BiNonBi 12 points 2 years ago

This is the meta community. It's actually called main song you'll find it at !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Meta is being used here to mean discussions around blahaj.zone itself. The op wants discussions about blahaj.zone that happen in this community to be limited to members of the server and exclude those from others servers.

[-] BiNonBi 14 points 2 years ago

My guess is you posted them while blahaj.zone was down. When lemmy.studio tried to send the post over it timed out and it never tried again.

But that's only a guess. I would have to actually dig into the federation algorithms and know how exactly lemmy.studio is configured to be sure.

I think we can pretty safely say it's not number 2. From what I found here transfem individuals slightly out number transmasc individuals and both out number 'gender nonconforming' individuals.

Of the 1.3 million adults who identify as transgender, 38.5% (515,200) are transgender women, 35.9% (480,000) are transgender men, and 25.6% (341,800) reported they are gender nonconforming

So more transfem individuals but not in the amount to explain the observed proportions in egg_irl.

Running through Google translate and reading the article

An experimental team from Anhui has worked for more than ten hours and is trying to reproduce the results. They updated the latest progress tens of minutes ago. The results will come out in about three days. Perhaps soon, we will be able to witness the gold content of room temperature superconductivity.

It seems they are in the middle of replicating the results. Not that they have already completed replicated the results.

The actual article title is:

The first room-temperature and atmospheric-pressure superconductor has sparked global enthusiasm, and tens of thousands of people are watching the progress of the Chinese team's reappearance

when I translated it.

Also, why do you assume that I am a rapist by default?

No one did? But you are making a compelling case now.
