Cops, no matter where they are are not your friends in our opinion. They exist only to enforce the law, they aren't there to be helpful or kind, if they were they wouldn't be cops. They really only exist to catch people out and to lock people away as they are tools of the state no matter where they are.

The only forms of justice which actually help people improve and not do unethical things any more are restorative and transformative justice. Punitive forms of justice and the people that enforce them do not work and are not there to actually improve things.

It's a bill. Make sure you do your due dilligence and keep us updated on whether it passes or not. Most do not.

As one of us is a poet we saw our lives as not tragic enough to write about anymore. So we transitioned.

Sadly there are a bunch of instances that are known for unhelpful behaviour and unfriendly users. Whenever we see a comment that's nasty etc we check and 9/10 it's one of those instances. .world is one of them.

We're guessing this also promotes that kind of behaviour from mods and admins too, sadly.

We think the primary problem is that transmasc people are not often encouraged to get into tech and it feels unsafe for them because it is.

Tech is dominated mostly by cis men and trans femmes. Cis women and trans masc people are excluded and not encouraged towards such spaces or interests most of the time, partially because the structures are not built for them, partially because of the rampant misogyny that exists and partially because people who tend to run tech but especially open source tend to be very ideological and don't like to consider alternative views.

Basically what we are saying is that in order to have more transmasc people here, a lot of stuff in these spaces and society needs to change.
