It's not like OP saw it anyway...
Then we grind them to a fine powder...

Taking that cynicism one step further: JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are both heavily pushing RTO mandates. Altering the optics of their DEI position can make them seem more welcoming to those who would benefit, thereby increasing the size of the pool of replacements for the remote workers they plan to dismiss.
Calling someone a chaser solely on the grounds that they claim to have dated a trans woman could imply "no cis male could be interested in a trans woman outside of pure fetish bait", which is awfully reductive. It casts the trans woman as an object in the relationship rather than an equal partner.
Not sure what your personal definition of "tankie" is, but by any rational measure @[email protected] doesn't fit the bill.
Estimated "over 1,400" monthly users. Be honest with your numbers.
Sure, it could be. But there is no inherent level of "telling someone they aren't trans" by stating a belief that less than half are.
Of course it can be. But the viewpoint called into question is "I don't believe that half the users are trans". Based on the data you personally referenced, that is a valid viewpoint for someone to hold without telling anyone who identifies specifically as trans that they are wrong about their gender.
Further, 598 is not 42% of "over 1,400".
With regards to the polling you've referenced: of the 598 respondants, less than half indicated that they were definitively not cisgender. Hexbear, per prolewiki has "over 1,400 monthly users".
Not only does the raw data from the self-report survey not bear out the premise that half of the users are trans, it also does not factor in response bias, which impacts any such survey.
We read the same statement. I interpret it as "I believe less than half of the userbase of the instance is trans" which does not rise to the level of telling someone they aren't trans. Was anyone specific named or called out as "not trans"? Was there any direct accusation of insincerity or fakery with regards to an individual's self-identification?
I don't see anyone doing that in this example. Are you misinterpreting the meaning of the original statement?
Solid advice. It can be completely benign, but people will still pounce on it for an "easy win".
Are we talking about Steambirds?
The Utah DLD has easily found information on their website regarding mental health and driving privileges. On dld.utah.gov/drivers, under the section "Medical Standards for Drivers" you can find a list of medical categories pertaining to drivers. Specifically, Category G relates directly to mental health, and seems to entrust health care providers with broad discretionary power per my reading.
If you have more trouble navigating their site than I did, the direct link to the .pdf detailing the safety levels associated with Category G is https://dld.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2024/08/Category-G-2024.pdf.
Not s'bad.
There are few discussions I have in my daily life that can't be made more entertaining by adding "If not, there's always trebuchets."
Thank you for enriching my future conversations!
They're making a stretch of a reference to the Cornetto trilogy, three Edgar Wright films featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
