  • Reports of its death are GREATLY exaggerated. I would suggest continuing to simply use firefox and disable any future crap you don’t prefer.

    That said librewolf which is intended to be firefox with stronger privacy settings by default that said

    • Default settings break more websites
    • You have to get extensions manually from for instance github because it doesn’t use mozillas addon (it can probably be enabled)
    • It doesn’t use the built in password manager which is in fact privacy preserving so you have to enable it or use something else
    • you don’t get syncing via firefox sync which is in fact already privacy preserving so you have to enable it if you want it
    • It doesn’t remember cookies without manually adding an exception to each site this is extremely obnoxious. I’m sure its configurable though

    At this time it is far easier to disable the few things that may be undesired from firefox vs turning librewolf into an acceptable option.

    Male or female vs man or woman are just adjectives vs nouns they both used to reference both gender. Using one for sex and the other for gender is simply inaccurate. This is why one may say that someone is a transgender woman but one never hears that someone is a male woman unless its M A I L woman.




  • You are correct that I might be unclear on how many are passing be virtue of only noticing the portion that do not.

    Still 99.5% of people are cisgender. Some portion of those who are transgender don’t pass. So 99.6–99.7 have a discernible gender. I still think my statement is correct numerically. It’s not even clear what position you are defending and what position beyond a picayune one you think I’m attacking.

    First it doesn’t really matter what’s between their legs unless you intend to date them. It’s easy enough to determine what most people identify as and thus what you ought to treat them as.

    That said you can tell what virtually everyone has in there pants. 99.5% of people are cisgender. Of the people who are transgender it is usually not terribly hard to see most of the time both what their birth gender is and what gender they identify as which is why its pretty trivial to be polite. Although it is impossible to tell if someone has had surgery at least in the US you could bet on no and be right most of the time because of cost and inequality around here.





  • That is the great thing about hate it doesn’t really require specific knowledge. Most of the people who lynched black folks in the south didn’t have a lot of specific understanding of the cultures or history of the people they hated they had a sort of diffuse hatred based on nothing real. Assuming that historical issues aren’t a root of anything because the rabble doesn’t specifically understand why they are supposed to hate someone is just a basic misunderstanding of how people work.

    It’s like thinking the smell of shit doesn’t come from the turd because the people smelling it can’t actually see it.
