I’m an admin too. If your reason for removing a post is because a queer person called themselves a gender terrorist, then it is in fact about them being trans. There is no scenario where you personally are at risk from a queer person describing their identity

Cachy Zen 4 is running nicely on my PC!

You decided to stir up some drama towards some of the people most at risk from Trump gaining power, because they made some jokes about him, despite him being alive and healthy. You’re not the good guy in this story…

On blahaj? It’s a non blahaj user posting to a non blahaj community? It wasn’t really “on” blahaj in any meaningful way.

That being said, I’ve removed the posts in question, but only locally, because that’s all I can do for non blahaj posts

If you only speak to people with years of experience, how exactly do people develop that experience?

Oh, Flex Launcher looks perfect! I didn’t even know I needed it!

I’ll quote Tim Minchin here

"If you wanna watch telly, you should watch Scooby Doo
That show was so cool
Because every time there was a church with a ghoul
Or a ghost in a school
They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The fucking janitor or the dude who ran the waterslide
Because throughout history
Every mystery
Ever solved has turned out to be
Not magic"

Why do right-wingers say that minorities must create their own stories if they are going to complain in the same way?

Because their goal is to stoke fear, outrage and exclusion. Their words are just tools to achieve that. The actual words are mostly irrelevant

Apple, with its love of walled gardens with no keys

Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. I’m familiar with series in the genre. I just hadn’t that term for the genre itself, because I don’t play it :)

I’m not sure about universally loved. I’ve never heard of this series…

If someone does transphobia, I instance ban them whether or not they did transphobia in one of my communities.

Both? Which is to say, after an amazing start, it went downhill when it was sold to yahoo. It suffered there for years. These days, its owned by SmugMug and is improving, but still isn’t what it used to be

Another language. It changes the way you see the world

Yep. Conservative opinions are definitely becoming more common across lemmy… I’ve had so many "I’m not transphobic, but… <insert transphobia>’ type comments to moderate in the last few weeks

As a vulva owner, for me, the big win with the bidet isn’t the butt.

Either way though, the goal is to get clean with water, instead of a dry piece of paper, and then use either toilet paper or a dedicated towel to dry down the now clean area.

Just like with a shower. You don’t clean yourself with the towel. You get clean with water, and then dry with a towel

At the moment, fish doesn’t know what to do with run0. When that changes, I’ll start using it :)

I own my computer. But on Windows, it doesn’t feel like that…

All I’ve got is anecdotes, but as I understand it, trans women are less likely to get prostate cancer in the first place. Personally, I don’t know any trans women that have prostate cancer, and given how many older trans women I know, that suggests it’s less common than you’d expect in cis men.

However, it could fit that those of us who do get prostate cancer are at a more severe level before it’s detected. In my years in the trans community, the only times I’ve learned of trans women with prostate cancer is when it’s been advanced. But those are all second hand stories and blogs/news articles etc.

The opening sentence of that journal article feels off…

“Among people with prostate cancer, transgender women receiving estrogen are more likely to present with high-grade disease vs cisgender men, suggesting potential delayed diagnosis”

Given that trans women have smaller prostates (a protective factor) and lower testosterone (a protective factor) and that estrogen therapy is the leading treatment for men with prostate cancer, it feels like quite an assumption to state that lower overall presentations of high grade cancer are potentially an indication of an increased risk of high grade cancer…
