"Antisemitic song" is rather understating things...

If the only significance of 240 sterlings is that it weighs a pound, then it seems likely the pound would have been a pound, whatever number of sterlings it happened to be...

The best tip I can give you is to get rid of windows, and, well, you've already done that :)

They don't though. This isn't a gotcha that will make the bigots second guess themselves, there will be no internal discomfort or recognition of internal contradictions, because exclusion is the point. The more stupid barriers there are, the less trans people participate.

There is power in protests like these, but the power lies in the way it forces the people who aren't deep down the transphobia rabbit hole to challenge their previously unchallenged opinions.

because studies range from showing HRT helps a little to not at all at preventing suicide.

No they don't. There are a couple of studies that are deliberately misrepresented by transphobes to imply this, and they often get passed around as fact, by people who aren't familiar with the studies in question.

Firstly, there was this Finnish one https://mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/27/1/e300940

You can see more about the hatchet job that the New York Post did on that one here https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/56772/does-gender-transitioning-do-nothing-to-help-suicidal-ideation

Then there is this one https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3043071/. It's older, and it is misrepresented to claim that the suicide rate of trans folk doesn't change after transition. The thing about that study is that doesn't even assess the impact of transition. The entire cohort of trans people in the study were post transition, and questions were asked about their lifetime suicide attempts, without comparing before/after transition data. So because 41% of trans people in that study had made at least one suicide attempt at some point in their lives, the claim was made that transition doesn't help, because "41% of post op trans people have attempted suicide". The lead author of this particular study has spoken out several times on the misuse of the study by transphobes with an agenda, but to this day, it keeps happening...

So, let me give you the actual data...

https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/

This is a consolidation of the findings of research on trans health care, and the impact of transition on the well being of trans folk. To summarise, they looked at 55 studies on the impact of transition. 51 of those found transition to be beneficial, and 4 of them contained mixed findings.

You've stumbled on one of the tools that transphobes use. Deliberate misrepresentation of the facts, so that they can push for trans folk to be cut off from transition related healthcare, all whilst sounding reasonable, and sometimes even supportive. That, and trans people in sports, were the two main wedge tactics that they used to open the door to the wave of transphobia now sweeping the world.

People must really like Pie! We just did the same thing with Blåhaj Lemmy yesterday!

The last thing lemmy needs is more centralisation on lemmy.world

People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.

Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)

There are lots of little usability improvements, and configuration options, but they are functionally very similar.

But it also has the advantage of not being written by the lemmy devs, which is a deal breaker for some folk
