When it comes to issues in which there is a conflict between a small group and some larger group, you can't just brush this aside as only a problem affecting the smaller group.

For instance, there are situations in which transgender rights (someone identifying as a woman using a for-women-only space) are in conflict with women's rights (women not wanting to be in a for-women-only space when whom they perceive as a male is present).

You can't just disregard the women and say, don't worry about it, it's just a 0.6% problem.

Maybe open a restaurant.

I get - loosely - what you are saying. I loosely applaud your sentiment. But at the same time I am somewhat gobsmacked by how glib it is. I worked in the restaurant trade. I have many friends who still do. It is tough, it is graft, you will feel under appreciated and it requires a lot of money and talent and great people to make it work.

So yes: open a restaurant. If you’ve not worked in the restaurant trade it’s a great way to feel awful and lose a lot of money quickly.

Equally, open a book store. Or a blacksmith’s. Or a tailor. Or dog sitter. Or a hedge fund. Or a niche thermoplastics engineering consultancy.

All of these things could fulfil you more, and you’ll hire a bunch of people who do the bulk of the work apart from the bit that matters.

But equally they could make everything worse.
Here are the numbers:

In 2019, the most recent year for which the FBI has data, the total US homicide rate was 4.3 deaths per 100,000 people [0] (possible underestimate; incident reporting is voluntary, and 25% of police departments don't submit expanded homicide data). Human Rights Campaign recorded the deaths of 25 transgender and gender non-conforming people in 2019 [1]. There are an estimated 1 million people who identify as transgender in the US [2], and an estimated 1.2 million people who identify as nonbinary or gender non-conforming [3]. That produces a US trans and nonbinary homicide rate for 2019 of 1.1 per 100,000.

Of all homicides reported by HRC with transgender or gender non-confirming victims in 2019, just one was determined to involve a clear anti-LGBT motive. HRC's data may be an underestimate. However, it is consistent with their estimated homicide rates and rate of hate crimes reported in other years.

Any murder is a tragedy, hate crimes all the moreso. However, a single-digit number of annual anti-trans and nonbinary murders is thankfully not an epidemic. The overall homicide rate for trans people seems much lower than the national average.

Notably this data excludes assaults, harassment, stalking, or any other attacks which don't result in fatalities.

To say nothing of the issue itself, the methods of "trans rights activists" frequently involve intimidation or vigilantism and generally cause a lot of resentment against trans people. People are afraid.
> it always struck me that they likely received the same privileges that most white males do in technical degree programs.

They also completed those degrees while going through a very intense personal and medical struggle that likely added significant challenges that very few others have faced or would even be aware of.
I think we will need to agree to disagree with regards to "intact" being a harmful adjective to use in this particular situation, but I am happy to no longer use that phrasing if you or anyone else finds it objectionable. I was using it as shorthand for "transwomen with an intact penis" which I think is a fairly accurate way of putting it. Mostly I was using it because that is the phrasing that had been used previously in this conversation and nobody had objected to its usage until this point. To my mind dancing around realities (e.g. saying things like "passed on" instead of "dead") is a strange obsession we have as a society that I generally find tedious and counter-productive regardless of the situation, but that is just my opinion and I am perhaps a bit more direct than average.

Sexual assault by women being undercounted does not account for the fact that most estimates put male perpetrators at around 90% of sexual assault cases. It would have to be severe undercounting (in anonymous surveys to boot) to get anywhere close to make up for that divide. Also, unless I am misinformed, I was under the impression that the majority of transwomen share male secondary sex characteristics – I have certainly not seen any indication that transwomen are shorter than the average male and would not expect that to be the case, given that the majority of trans people alive today were not on puberty blockers + hormone therapy before any such primary sex characteristics could do their thing in puberty.

Historically, being a man was having a penis. At the end of the day, humanity is a sexually reproducing species and there are two fundamental sexes required for procreation (intersex individuals notwithstanding). For better or for worse, human societies have divided themselves along this line (as best they could judge) since time immemorial. Given this universality, it seems incredibly unlikely that the various discrepancies between men and women (whether with rape or anything else) can be explained away by society / sociological conditioning (and therefore fixed by a change in the same).

I fully agree that the solution is to look at the problem holistically and question whether a system which allows for any sex/gender to be raped by any other sex/gender is a system that should be maintained. But as it stands, that system is still around, so we can't just pretend the decisions we've made going into that system are totally irrelevant and now that we're "more enlightened individuals" we can just switch things up without that fundamental revisiting. Said another way, this strikes me as a bit of a Chesterton's fence situation: I don't know exactly why we decided to make men's and women's prisons, but until we've firmly established that "why", I don't think it is sensible to use our 21st century definition of "men" and "women" and apply it to systems that were not made with those definitions in mind.
Yeah but look at the first comment which said the opposite of what you say is normal. The first comment was praising the fact the code was published, the second that no it's not, followed by an autistic rant.

I'd think the biggest consequence would be that another virus is released or mutates that isn't china specific, and the governments are just as unprepared as they were in 2019, since they fixed the lab leak problem instead of the being prepared problem
Hey friend, honestly thanks. That’s how my Grandma Beatrice used the term sloshed - her family came over from Glasgow and she inherited that phrase from her Dad. It’s hard to convey but it was always said with love. It was more gentle teasing than an accusation?

Seriously though, thanks for this memory. My Gram and I were very very close.
I'd add:

3. Experts who conduct or fund virology research don't want it to be true, because it would inevitably cause a massive clampdown on what research is allowed and how it is conducted. It would also cause lasting damage to the field's reputation and prestige. Eg. imagine being a nuclear researcher in the aftermath of Chernobyl.

4. People who have significant personal or business ties with China are concerned that a finding of culpability will result in escalating tariffs and other sanctions, damaging China's economy and potentially causing collateral damage for those who do business with Chinese firms.
I read that trans people suffer from high rates of violence, homelessness, etc. In contrast, amputees and blind people don't usually get kicked out by their parents or randomly stabbed.

If BLM (vs e.g. StopAsianHate) is any indication, the level of outrage in activism seems to be directly correlated to the level of violence in high profile incidents, more so than percentage of affected population
what is exactly your point? your original post said: "Is it bad to not be seen as a professional and instead as an interchangeable cog? Yes."

now you're talking about "society," but you were the one who compared them to cogs to begin with, lol.
I think I see where you're going here, but it's dangerously ambiguous.

People will believe feelings if they can't figure out the truth, sure, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate fantasy over fact, and we shouldn't allow those people to make policy decisions. I mean, clearly we HAVE, but we shouldn't.

More than a bit silly. It should be investigated fully. It’s a shame so much time has passed already.

But trans means switching from one side of the binary to the other, while dysphoria means "unease or dissatisfaction" which is not at all the same. One can easily be uneasy or dissatisfied with one's perceived gender identity yet not want to switch to the other side of the binary. What about agender people, or people who just don't like gender at all?

I certainly remember as a teen being unhappy with the constraints gender put on me in social situations but that certainly doesn't mean I'm trans.
I think that only applies within their borders.

Once it's outside, sure, there's a duty to report, but other governments have a responsibility to their own populace to keep them healthy.

The US, for instance, should have more than enough spies in China to know everything china knows anyways, and took the chinese line that the virus didn't exist, or wasn't a problem up until Joe Biden got elected

It's more sinister than that. It's not only poor people who can't start businesses. Or we need to change our definition of poor. Who among the middle class could safely start a new business without putting their livelihood at risk? It's not a large number.

Rich people can not only start businesses, they can start many businesses. They can beat the statistics of business start up failure because there is little risk for them when a business fails.

In my experience the only effective education about these particular drugs is experimentation. Problem here is that if they were administered safely and legally, there would be (predominantly) zero downsides. Barring unexpected negative side effects, the only time "this is bad" comes into play is long, long after addiction takes hold. You can tell somebody for 30+ years "this is bad don't do it" even up to the point of using unethical methods (i.e. force a teen to smoke a whole pack of cigs, or give a preteen a shot or three of Popov)... it doesn't really click that first time, or even after several times.

The missing element with drug legalization is the preventative aspect. It simply doesn't happen in large enough numbers using the exposure/education method.

However, shame based propaganda has been showing significantly positive(?) results with cigarettes. Most people I've e countered from younger generations cannot fathom smoking a cigarette. Vaping, sure, but stinky cigarette? Ewwww, gross.

Meth and heroin legalization and "it's all good if you're responsible" mentality isn't going to work.
I think there are two entirely separate concerns. First, is the salary for Speaker of the House sufficient. Second, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that Pelosi and her husband made 100+ million for themselves investing in stocks through his investment company while she was in Congress? Maybe that's just a coincidence.

I don't think we could meaningfully increase salaries. Pelosi is still making money despite having a hundred million. How much more should we pay? What would satiate her or those in her position such that they would be immune from inducements? I think back to Roman politicians, who, despite being monstrously wealthy, were still monstrously corrupt.
The chinese government doesnt owe me anything though. Sure, it's bad that they killed a bunch of their citizens, but they do that all the time
I thought software systems would become more and more reliable with continuous refinement over time. Servers would never go down, operating systems would have no new features and would be considered finished, applications would be stable and unchanging, and all that code we all hacked would be reviewed and improved. We'd have a reliable stable base to build new things on top of with tried and tested methods.

Instead companies created an endless churn of features, rewrote everything because fixing the old problems seemed too difficult (hence inventing endless new problems), hacked new languages for convenience (and to create lock-in) then rediscovered why all that complexity was in the old languages, security was ignored, everyone built new code layered on top of the old stuff we hacked instead of fixing the old code, and everyone switched to commodity hardware creating a race to the bottom driven by low cost.

I've been expecting computing infrastructure to crumble for many years. I think the many modern problems with computing and networks, security in particular but also reliability, indicate it is starting to happen. It will take decades to fix.

Part of the problem seems to be the limited lifespan of people. The old engineers retire and are replaced by the young and a lot of hard won knowledge is lost. Books and the code itself pass on some of that knowledge but it is incomplete (or ignored because who wants to spend the time?
We need something new to sell in three months.)

> I would probably choose to no longer spend time with those people if they felt they could compell (or more accurately, coerce) me to speak a certain way.

This is the solution to your problem; and, if you were continually offensive to those people, one you may be forced to enact - by their rejection of your presence. However, if you do choose to interact with them, or choose to engage in activities where you will interact with them (during your work duties, for example) - that's the social contract you're going to have to adhere to if you want to continue doing so. You wouldn't argue that you should be able to go around verbally assaulting people without consequence because that would be an infringement to your right to free speech (which has always been limited, by the way; like it or not - you can't shout fire in a crowded theatre), would you?
The Economist is not neutral on this - it has numerous editorial staff with a long history of transphobia, and a very vested interest in trying to propagate a general backlash against rights for trans people.

Much of this article is vague - things are "growing" with little evidence to back such assertions up. The reason for that is that they are primarily wishful thinking.
This doesn't address the "dysphoria = trans" claim at all. As I wrote in the other comment, one can be uneasy or unhappy with one's body/gender without wanting to switch to "the other" gender. As a mathematician, it seems like people here are claiming {1,2} = R (real numbers) which is just weird, they're sets of different cardinality.

> I wonder if it’s just that, like banks, software is outside of LEGO’s core competencies. When it comes to software, their leadership has no taste.

I work as a developer @ LEGO in Denmark, but I'm speaking purely for myself here.

My only knowledge is of internal software, and I assume you're speaking about consumer facing software. LEGO did do video game publishing where e.g. the LEGO Island sequels were released through. And the team at LEGO Interactive, the video game publishing arm of the company, later merged with Traveller's Tales to form TT Games that created the LEGO Star Wars games. While they weren't developed by LEGO there was a close relationship.

On the more technical software side I'm personally very fond of LEGO Mindstorm and its ability to make programming more intuitive and tangible while still facilitating "playing with LEGO".
