@Elizafox Counterpoint: the pirates from Expanse.
@aster And how do you feel about $YOUR_GENDER dot nerd?
@TerryHancock I wonder how coincidental that is though. While the fact itself doesn't affect development of multicellular life etc I weakly suspect that the things that do (how much sunlight we get, how well we are protected from meteors etc) make it more likely for the sizes in the sky to match. @bright_helpings @checkervest
@TerryHancock Good post, small correction -- the concept you are referring to is called "anthropic", not "anthropomorphic". @bright_helpings @checkervest

today in Are The Terrans Okay: sexism, linguistics
@moonbolt I've been thinking mostly about Carbon, even though we never spoke it would kinda be rude to implicitly grammatically omit him (and who would risk being rude to a dragon...).
I wonder how hard it would be to specify all the necessary pronoun and grammar information for all languages. It feels like it would be way too much work to be practical as a policy, but I also don't see how to solve the problems that might arise in any other way. D:
the answer, of course, is neither: OA, which pits individual authors against one another in a race to pay more to prestige journals, is much more profitable than trad publishing. We need to end for-profit publishing altogether and rebuild our communication and review systems.

@moonbolt Oh gods, I just realized that by default if I were to refer to y'all in Polish in some ways I should be using the virile forms, that feels weird...

@moonbolt In Polish the only plural genders are literally called "malepersonhood" and "non-malepersonhood". I remember being very confused and slightly annoyed by the gender asymmetry when I learned about this in primary school.
@danslerush I've been using it for, uh, quite a long time already (about a year?), although with sxmo. I (almost) only use it for calls, sms, firefox, and some stuff I wrote myself. I personally love it (where I live I can now get postal stamps from the command line, what else could I want from life?) but at least my setup is definitely not for everyone.

@schratze Dunno about train gender, but my train pronouns are SBB/CFF/FSS.
"It’s a grim irony that, by insisting on a “feminism” without any trans women in it, TERFs have wound up constructing the tool by which fascists aim to destroy feminism altogether."
"TERFs’ insistence on “biological sex” as an immutable binary […] may make it easier to convince them of other biological hierarchies. Their insistence on seeing trans women as “violent men,” in particular, can be weaponized against men of colour and turned into overt white supremacy."
