You’re absolutely right! Without your parents, nobody is feeding or nurturing you! I’ll admit, this was a big miscalculation on my end. I dropped the ball and will make sure it doesn’t happen in the future. Would you like me to help you research foster programs or give you tips on how to survive as a homeless youth?

Sigh… If nobody else is gonna do it, I’ll reply with the copypasta.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

All my servers are Debian. All my personal machines are Fedora KDE.

All this stuff to protect the kids

None of this is to protect the kids

This is happening as Russia is actively feeding intelligence to Iran so they can kill even more Americans in a war no Americans wanted or asked for that we’re fighting on behalf of Israel. Way to go, MAGA, your America first, no more wars, president of peace is knocking it outta the park.

Would the Trump administration lie?

We will release the Epstein files

I have the Epstein files on my desk

All of the files have already been released

There are no files, never were

There are files but they exonerate everyone on our side and implicate all of our opponents. No you can’t see them, just trust us bro.

Why are you still talking about the Epstein files?

The files are a democrat hoax… But they still exonerate Trump somehow

Okay here’s the files, but Trump isn’t in there once.

Okay we removed the 10,000 mentions of trump that we missed.

Stop talking about this, Dow is over 50k!

World War III is no time to discuss the Epstein files

That’s a completely separate discussion. We’re talking about gender dysphoria, not schizophrenia. I hope you understand why people assume you’re a troll, because what is even the point of bringing that up in this context?

Somewhere around the majority of people employed in academia are absolutely useless.

Hundreds of billions is a more accurate figure. You could’ve also said they’re worth multiple dollars and had been correct.

It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.

I feel pressured to only ever present as a cisgendered heterosexual person regardless of whether that’s correct or not. The pressure is for LGBTQ+ people to simply disappear from public society. Correct has nothing to do with it.

“Wrong” is probably not the best term for it. People’s understanding of their own identity can evolve over time, but their own assessment of their sense of self will always be the most accurate barometer to go by. Yes, some people detransition, but as others have stated they’re a small minority and ultimately that’s their decision to make whether it’s due to a change in how they identify or pressure from external forces.

But to the original commenter’s point, we should just allow people to be the masters of their own identity and meet them where they are at any given point. If that were the case, the idea of getting it “wrong” wouldn’t be a big deal at all, they could simply give us an update and the world keeps turning.

I think the point they were making is that a decent support system is not the sole determining factor as your post suggests.

Even your counterarguments rest on the assumption that this is true. You suggest that if it’s not a support system they must be “inherently” good or evil, completely ignoring the more likely possibility that there are countless other variables that could factor into what kind of person someone becomes.

Gender dysphoria

“Hey, buddy. Just so you know, you’re autistic.”

“What? Hey, fuck you. That was uncalled for.”

Friendly Takeover

Somebody grab my EpiPen, I’m allergic to oxymorons!

Opening a completely fresh session on a VPN, trying to look up info on gender transition, you have to dig through results that are littered with detransition scare videos, TERF propaganda, and other right wing bullshit to find a handful of results that are even remotely relevant to what I searched.

The first screenshot is of the very first results, literally 2/3 of what you’re initially shown are detransition videos. For context, only about 1% of trans people end up detransitioning and many of them so so to avoid further persecution.

The only thing YouTube is useful for is home repair videos.

Were you thinking of Sync maybe? That hasn’t been updated for almost 2 years.
