Honestly though the rust to trans pipeline is so real. I started learning rust around 5 or 6 months ago and realized I was trans within like a month lol.
For anyone who hasn't seen the full version of this here's an update lol.
I don't really follow sports all that closely, but it looks like there probably is?

Though honestly I can't think of all that many mtf athletes either, it's not like trans women are overrepresented in sports. Plus ftm athletes don't support the narrative transphobes want to push around "men invading women's spaces/sports" they tend to get forgotten in general, but especially in sports. There will be a lot of survivorship bias in how people perceive the success of trans athletes, any trans woman who does well will be seen as "unfair", but any who are completely average at the sport won't be noticed (or will be reported on misleadingly, like when Glenique Frank got 6,159th in the London Marathon and it was reported everywhere as "trans runner beats 14,000 women"). And like I said trans men already get ignored, so their inclusion in sports is definitely not being spoken about to anywhere near the same level. All of that combines to make trans women seem overrepresented in high level sports and trans men basically nonexistent but that's not really accurate.
I think the main argument against that is that if someone is going to follow through with it either way I'd much rather them do so in a painless way with a medical professional and that allows family and friends time to process. Obviously there should be requirements like therapy and stuff first, it shouldn't be the first option presented, but if a person wants assisted death due to a mental illness that will cause them to suffer the rest of their life I don't think that should be treated much differently than a person wanting assisted death due to a physical illness that will cause them to suffer the rest of their life.
Yeah I avoid chocolate as well for that reason (at least the non fair trade/rainforest alliance, those certifications still have issues but at least they're an improvement). Coconut products made in Thailand are also typically pretty bad. Unfortunately at the end of the day it's basically impossible to not consume anything that exploits people or non-human animals at some point down the chain but I do try and avoid the most egregious ones I know about at least.
Do Not Interact
Edit: replied to the wrong comment lol
Youtube is the one google service I still can't give up lol. PeerTube is awesome, but long-form video platforms feel like they suffer from a lack of content way more than any other social media imo. At least there's newpipe for the time being (except whenever google changes something to screw with them).
Have you tried organic maps as a google maps replacement at all? I've been using it for a while now and honestly it works extremely well most of the time.
Imo I don't think the goal is/should be "every part is repairable by any average person without tools" tbh. Like that would be awesome but it also isn't realistic, like you said phones are super complicated. But making simple repairs – stuff like swapping a battery – possible for anybody is realistic imo, and then the rest should be as easy to repair as possible for local shops or someone who does have the necessary skills and equipment. At least personally I feel like that's a good spot to aim for.
Edit: Oh and totally unrelated, but make sure you avoid the website brandalism.ch. It hosts totally unethical content like this: Subvertising Manual. Just a PSA, definitely don't visit the site if you have any bus stops with ads near you, and especially avoid it if you have a poster that you think would be nicer to display there.
I think you also may have just convinced me to make a blahaj piefed account lol. I've been thinking about making an alt on blahaj anyway and a lot of these features are super cool.
