I wasn’t sure if posting the leaks themselves would be allowed here. They can be found with a little digging.

Finished Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson.

Still working on God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Started Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden.

It’s a hell of a convincing fake, if it is. And Take 2 has been going after them like crazy to get them removed.

I have the same fish bed!

It certainly makes it easier but I don’t know if I’d say it’s easy. There’s still work to be done to make it run natively on PC with the kinds of settings you’d expect to see on a PC game.

The core topic of this conversation was our very disagreement about that assertion. You say you can tell (and that it’s obvious), and I say you cannot. Then we discussed the merits of each position. I thought that was clear much earlier on, so it seems strange to me that you’re only now realizing that we have that disagreement.

Well, up until right now I thought we were having a conversation in good faith.

People who mutually follow each other on social networks.

Then why would it be something that you would associate with “looking trans”?

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that surgery oftentimes leaves clues that it was performed or that lots of trans people have had surgery.

Would you assert that the majority of people who have had cosmetic surgery are trans?

this phenomenon is not exclusive to trans people.

We agree on this. Now, can you see why framing something that is not exclusive to trans people as “looking trans” is transphobic? Can you see how people would use things described as “looking trans”, even when they are in no way exclusive to trans people, purely because they were described that way? And how that can be problematic? Such as “transvestigators” (like TERFs) incorrectly identifying and targeting cis women with hatred.

there is a common set of characteristics associated with any kind of surgical or hormonal body modification

So do you not see any irony that we’re talking about a cis man who has had surgical modifications and people are saying he “looks trans”? Do you not see how that undercuts your point at all?

And my point is that it doesn’t exist. Many people that “transvestigators” think “look trans” are actually cis women. Or in the case of this post, a cis man. Saying someone “looks trans” is transphobic and not based on anything of value.

Cis women who are not “traditionally feminine” are often the ones who are on the other side of the “looks trans” comments, meaning once again a veiled attempt at “protecting” women (TERFs) victimizes them.

Saying that someone “looks trans” is big oof.

Wow that’s satisfying as hell.

Worth noting this is for the first year only. Might be obvious to those of us familiar with domains, but worth mentioning for newcomers.

This is extra hilarious to me because I moved to Canada and switched to Linux.

Literally preferred a child rapist over a woman.
