Sorry, no sneer today. I'm tired of this to the point where I'm dreaming up new software licenses.

A trans person no longer felt safe in our community and is no longer developing. In response, at least four different forums full of a range of Linux users and developers (Lemmy #1, Lemmy #2, HN, Phoronix (screenshot)) posted their PII and anti-trans hate.

I don't have any solutions. I'm just so fucking disappointed in my peers and I feel a deep inadequacy at my inability to get these fuckwads to be less callous.

I get the reasoning and it makes sense tbh. but having been at these places what I experienced just doesn't reflect your theorycrafting. if my experience doesn't line up with "well based on human nature it should be this or that way" I'm going to go with my experience every time
