Transphobes think that bees have telepathy. Like the Zerg in Starcraft. They think that bees literally actually share thoughts and have no individual will like in science fiction. They think there's a "psychic lobe" in the bee brain that causes telepathy. They're not very good at science, and they don't know that bees communicate through dance. They think it's telepathy.

How am I so certain that transphobes believe in magic bees? Because they argue very vehemently that humans cannot be swarmgender like bees are, because humans lack the physiological requirements to form a hivemind. They are referring, of course, to the fact that humans don't have magic powers. Because they think bees do.

@[email protected] commented on a thread about me to say I'm faking my gender. Kool Newt, if you're going to harass me, I prefer that you do it to my face. You say I'm faking being swarmgender, and now I want to hear you finish misgendering me. Pick a gender and call me it. Let's see if your moral compass will stop you from being blatantly transphobic, or if you're bigoted enough to finish what you started.

@[email protected] came to a thread attacking me to voice a controversial opinion: Since being nonbinary entitles me to avoid all the discrimination levelled against real trans people, I ought to be bullied into no longer identifing as trans, transtrender that I am. I would like to thank them for this genius solution. I never thought that we could solve bullying by just bullying more people! What a stroke of brilliance!

Just kidding, Poggervania is a blatant transphobe who openly advocates harassing and attacking trans people for kicks.

For those not in the know, "TexMexBazooka" is the alt account of popular startrek.website user Stamets, who felt the need to personally attack, demean, and subtweet at me for being nonbinary over the past two days.

@[email protected] responded to a meme about swarmgenders to call me a troll for being nonbinary. Out of curiosity, I tried an experiment, and asked if there are any xenogenders they respect. They responded by saying it's "over the line" of made up specialist [sic] snowflake shit.

Make no mistake: This is the average view of people who yell about how xenogender people are "trolls".

Hexbear users love to call people they don't like "wreckers". What is a wrecker? Well, they define it as anyone who holds views which are disruptive to the majority opinion. This is regardless of whether the views are progressive or reactionary. And fun fact: Progressive views are ALWAYS disruptive to the majority opinion, because it's not progress if everyone is already there. If everyone already agrees with it, it's just normal. Reactionary views, on the other hand, usually defend the status quo and the existing systems of oppression. So it's quite obvious that most "wreckers" are people to the left of Hexbear users. This is a consequence of the basic facts of politics.

So, if a Hexbear user calls you a wrecker, take it as a compliment. They're saying that your new radical ideas are too crazy, and the old guard are going to pick a fight with you about it. I've been called a wrecker for the opinions that slurs are bad, we should accept all genders, and we should speak out when authority is abusive. These are awesome opinions, but they are very disruptive to the status quo and they make me a wrecker. If you believe in doing something about climate change, you're a wrecker. If you believe in a communist revolution, you're a wrecker. If you believe in trans rights, you're a wrecker.

"Wrecker" is a compliment, and anyone who uses it as an insult is a right wing reactionary.

Yes, someone actually did this and I found it running on our server

I told my boss I had an idea for a program that could improve efficiency across much of the business, and he let me build it on company time. In the long term, he wanted to be able to sell it to other companies. However, the program never got implemented due to personnel mismanagement, and I'd rather be able to post it on my github under a free licence so I can use it as a resume item, and at least someone would have the chance to actually use it. It's all still in my head, and I could write it again if I wanted. If I do, is it illegal to publish it? What if I write it in a different language? Do I need to change the variable names? I did plenty of research and planning on company time to build it, and it's not like I can research it again, it's all still in my head.
