How do you not have respect for someone who writes software, and then makes their hard work freely available to you? If someone doing significant FOSS work does not earn your respect, I don't think you're capable of respecting other people.

Sad as hell. Maybe dropping dev work was really best thing to do (I currently can't even open those links), I only wish they get enough support to not drop what they are. As little as it is, they have my heart

On the hn thread, so many green names.

Gotta say, lemmy seems like the only sane place when it comes to minorities and linux development.

not on topic at all, but this thread once again makes me appreciate awful.systems as the sane corner of the internet that it is. just no tolerance for bullshit and great values. i wish i could just take that for granted, but it's become exceedingly rare. thank you <3

and lol to all the shitheads thinking they can spew their shitty "opinions" on how people feel

You would think someone has to be somewhat open minded and accepting of diversity to use FOSS. Life is full of disappointments. Sorry to see her go through this.

i've heard it said before from people better at wording it than i am, but seeing this: it's crystalizing for me that people really do see "a trans woman" as "a woman i'm still allowed to abuse". i can call her mannish, i can tell everyone she's making it all up, i can call her hysterical and dramatic, i can freely speculate on her mental state to the approval of my peers, and no matter what she does -- leave loudly, leave quietly, stay and suffer the torment -- it will always be her fault and she will always be doing it wrong
