It’s spam

Flatpak annoys me

CachyOS. I use it because I am a fan of Arch based systems, rolling releases etc, but CachyOS is optimised for my generation of hardware, and has lots of good default configurations for various apps. They have a customised proton version, a good default fish profile etc.

tl;dr It’s Arch, but optimised, and slightly more pre-configured out of the box.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that your goal should be pragmatic blending in. What I’m saying is that when you say your goal is to pass, there’s probably more to it than that. You want to pass for some specific reason.

And it’s worth identifying what that reason is. If it’s pragmatic, then that’s what you need to be measuring. And if it’s not pragmatic, if it’s about the way you see yourself, or your own sense of validity, then wanting to pass is the symptom, not the real issue.

So here’s the thing. As long as your goal is to pass, you’ll always feel like you’re not meeting your goals (even if you are meeting them) , because that goal is based in fear of consequences and in self image.

Ask yourself why you want to pass. Is it to have more experiences like the one with the woman in the line? Where you can just exist and have regular day to day interactions with folk? Cause you’re achieving that, whether or not you believe you pass.

Shift your goals is my advice :)

No. I just thought some browsing all saw this post and decided to give the OP shit for no reason.

It’s literally a cyberpunk community. You’re the dick here.

I’m so excited about Cosmic! Bring it on

Plasma, but I’ll be moving to cosmic as soon as it enables auto power off of monitors on idle

Yeah, it wasn’t much use in helping cis folk understand us. But it will help them normalise us, which tbh, I think is more important

It was nice to see an affirming and positive piece of media from a big name actor. It didn’t go as deep as I was hoping, but that’s OK. The point isn’t to explain everything, it’s too normalise

It’s true. For a moment, I thought that said click lovers!

That sounds like my kind of world

your either targeted by the system, or you benefit from it,

And either way, you think about the system in question, but your original post still says that the only people who think about race are racists, ignoring the reality that people targeted by racism have no choice but to think about race. Thinking about race because racist systems target you does not make you racist, and disempowers the targets of racism trying to address the issue. Downplaying that experience is a racist dogwhistle. I need you to edit/clarify that post to include some of the context you’ve provided in your later posts, to make it clear that it’s not a dog whistle, otherwise, I will have to remove the post

All I’m saying is that trans people would still exist in one form or another in a genderless society. The words might be different, and we might conceptualise ourselves and the context we exist in differently, but we would still be here.

To use your wording, I’d still have to have “picked a camp”, because the one I was placed in to by biology was a source of distress, and for many of us, that distress would still exist in some form even in a genderless society

Removing gender from society would resolve much of my dysphoria, but not all of it.

I’d still have struggled with the body I was born with, and I’d still have needed to deal with that reality, even in a genderless society.

To put it another way, I think there would be no dissonance between people wearing frilly dresses and practicing Jiu-Jitsu

This is a huge misunderstanding of trans identity.

Trans people aren’t trans because “dresses” or the like. If we’re able to come out trans and deal with the reality and harassment that brings, then we could also simply have dressed in a way that society doesn’t like, or broke other gender norms, without coming out as trans if that’s all it took, because those things are nearly always easier than coming out as trans.

unfortunately that institutionally racist system is society, and most people don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions, and non participation in society isn’t the answer.

This directly contradicts your first reply, in which you say the only people who care about race are racists. If are part of an institutionally racist system that targets them (which they are), then they are going to think about race, because it impacts every aspect of their life, and saying that it’s only racists that think about it completely erases that reality.

Like saying the only people who think about gender are transphobes and sexists. It’s just blatantly incorrect, and erases the lived experience of many people who are actively targeted by institutional bias against them

The ideal world you’re talking about in your first reply is made actively harder to achieve by denying the reality in which we’re currently living, and it comes across as a racist dogwhistle. The only reason I haven’t removed it is because your later posts make it clear that it isn’t intended that way, but I am going to need you to edit your first post so it doesn’t come across as erasing the experiences of people targeted by racism

You absolutely do not. Implicit and unconscious racial bias is a huge part of the issue

My experience of gender is not purely internal

They should also ideally be banned from the community

They have ban banned from all blåhaj zone based communities
