Trans men tend to be shorter than the average man. Trans women tend to be taller than the average woman. A conference of trans men and trans women will have an extraordinary amount of short men and tall women.

I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.

That's why STP devices should be available to everyone. Everyone should be able to experience peeing in the French countryside at 7:53 in the morning without having to squat braced against their car.

Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark
Reply in thread
Trademarks are very narrow. From my quick search Microsoft has 'X' marks in relation to Excel and Xbox.
Meta's trademarks actually has the class, 'Online social networking services,' that will overlap with Twitter's new name.

Straight shooter is an idiom meaning honest and straightforward or direct. Super is acting as an intensifier. Combined it means they are extremely honest and direct.

Armed Militia "hunting FEMA" causes hurricane responders to evacuate—report

If I may make a suggestion - with a parachute.
With no parachute they just go down for a couple minutes. With a parachute they go up and down for hours, in the middle of a hurricane.

Lucasfilm Sued in Trademark Dispute Over Backpack in ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’
Reply in thread
I don't think you have to prove loss sales for trademark disputes. Just a likelihood of confusion. And from the article:
As part of its marketing for the movie, Lucasfilm authorized Filson to run a cobranded campaign to promote the movie and the clothing company’s products, according to the suit. “Lucasfilm and Filson produced a 60 second commercial prominently featuring video clips from the Indiana Jones 5 film intertwined with video clips of actors using Filson’s own products,” writes Devin McRae, a lawyer for Frost River, in the complaint. “Shockingly, one of the intertwined video clips was one from Indiana Jones 5 featuring Frost River’s Geologist Pack.”
I think they might actually have a case. Use of one of their bags used in a lookalike competitors marketing campaign without clearly showing that it's theirs is probably infringement.
Lack of sales might be an argument to be made if we get to damages but I think this will probably be settled out of court for a nondisclosured amount. It'll probably be cheaper for both parties that way.

That's exactly why it needs to be something you are willing to explain. It makes their stories better.

I viewed it as an anti-joke for those suffering from gender dysphoria.
"Look at this grand journey that started in the ocean and has lasted millennia. What wonderful thing awaits us at the end? Gender dysphoria."

does the rule only apply when you go on the community page or also when you see a post from the community
Whenever you see a post. And remember when you post it shows you your post so you must post after you post.

World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
Reply in thread
analysis of individual cases that could take up to two years.
They are already getting ready to drag their feet. The other policies announced here aren't much better. In particular:
Holders of women’s titles who change their genders to male would see those titles “abolished,” the federation said
There's no reason for that. What does transitioning have to do with past titles. It all reeks of transphobia.

Most people I've seen using it as their personal pronoun would probably laugh if they were presented with an option for It with Cousin Itt representing it.
I would probably add an option for "thing" with a disembodied hand as well.

That's why the step grandfather's plan failed. If he had just left it alone Moki Awa would only be able to build a straight log cabin. But with all the skills gained from attempting to "man the queer" out of them, they are now able build the gayest non-straight log cabin.

if things were reversed[¿cisphobia? satire]
Reply in thread
No but there's a couple subtlies here. If you are calling someone brave, the context is important. It can come off as condescending. Also coming out isn't an all or nothing thing, see here.
Also in this comic they aren't saying they are brave for coming out. They are saying they are brave for being cis. The underlying assumption there being that being cis or trans is a choice that one can be brave for.

Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public
A woman has her own value and that value decreases by men looking at her.
I didn't know men had that kind of super power. The ability to decrease value of something just by looking at it. Can we harness this power to decrease home prices?

I would be tempted to tell her my adverb is fabulously.
