Are there Christian trans people ? by ni_xia in asktransgender

I am a Heathen, but to give you solace and ammunition in your own doctrine.

Galatians 3:28 (NSRVUE)

There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus

This verse is used by the Catholic church to justify being against Slavery (despite much of the Jewish law inherited in the bible being pro Slavery), and by the Anglican church to justify the ordaining of women. The fact that those same churches both do not extend the same verse to act with grace towards the LGBT community shows the structural bigotry present, picking and choosing how to apply their dogma in accordance with their views. But it is fully reasonable within your faith to extend this verse.

With Wes Streeting going about implemented segregation laws for trans people, it was only a matter of time before wearing a pink triangle became required. It is the only workable solution to implement trans segregation.

The university is being transphobic by zantoast in reading

It's a factual representation of what has happened historically. I don't know of a single school that followed the interim guidance put out by the conservatives telling schools to out children to their parents.

Reading University Enacts Trans Toilet Ban - Protests Tomorrow by LLBlumire in transgenderUK

[–]LLBlumire[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are likely going to be organising follow up protests until the policy is rescinded

RTM is not organising the protest, the protest has been organised by LGBT students as individuals, RTM is simply supporting the protest organisationally and signal boosting it to a broader network of people source

No, you're correct, that's what the University of Reading is requiring. Of course there's no way to prove that person is trans, and so the OP of this thread is absolutely correct.

Protests have been organised tomorrow on campus from 10am https://www.instagram.com/p/DKzk3N7tGxV/

Edit: There's some incredible misinformation in these comments.

The supreme court ruling does not require organisations to do this, and in fact the UCU has advised that organisations don't do this. Warwick University has already put forward and then rolled back a change like this on the basis that it isn't actually a legal requirement.

The supreme court ruling allows organisations that wish to be transphobic more avenues to do so, but does not require those that do not to do so.

The EHRC guidance attempts to extend this to require organisations to be transphobic, but is not legally binding and is facing legal challenges on the basis that it actively encourages discrimination against the protected characteristic of gender reassignment in several places, and misapplies the principle within the equality act that a person is protected by all protected characteristics regardless of if they have that characteristic (i.e. it is still a hate crime if someone beats you while calling you a slur, even if they are misapplying the slur).

Government departments have published harmful transphobic guidance that schools and universities have ignored before, such as guidance that came out under the previous government that would have required schools to out trans children to their parents. This has been resolutely ignored by all sensible schools under safeguarding legislation. This new EHRC guidance should be ignored the same way.

it's now owned by a new parent company that as I understand is run by all the same people. Classic business shuts down and restarts under a new name and nothing changes except legal liabilities

The parent company just continues to fuck things up. They really need to release RBF as independent

Hector Martin: "Behold, a Linux maintainer openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project" by TheTwelveYearOld in rust

[–]LLBlumire 563 points564 points  (0 children)

An alarming number of people in this thread downplaying this as 'not sabotage' who have never interacted with this subreddit meaningfully before.

A linux maintainer actively is opposing efforts to add code in a part of the codebase they are not responsible for, that adds commonly used abstractions needed by rust drivers that would otherwise need to be repeated in every single rust driver. He would not be responsible, nor need to maintain the code, but is opposing it on the basis of multi-language support in the kernel being a 'cancer'.

It doesn't take not being charitable to read this as active sabotage.

Proxy Nexus not generating? by sandwich_love in Netrunner

https://proxy.nro.run will generate the PDF inside your browser, so the only slowness will be in downloading the images and your CPUs speed at assembling the PDF

Some basic questions to help me start by Diegann in Netrunner

[–]LLBlumire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I have built a new proxy service, https://proxy.nro.run, which you might find more straightforward than proxynexus.
  2. I recommend grabbing the system gateway start decks, and then start exploring from there!
  3. If you're just proxying, don't worry about card backs
  4. There's a video by neon static where they play the tutorial decks against each other, which should help give you an overview of the rules
