This is what #transphobia is: my friends and partners and I literally cannot take a bus without being in fear of our lives #FixSociety 2/2

- I'll die on this hill: cryptography, complexity theory, information theory, and proof systems are absolutely part of the bedrock core of computer science.Replying to @Ethan_Heilman @secparam and 10 othersIf I may interject: Cryptography is a fringe topic, not worth teaching within the CS core. Most students are expected/taught not to use it. Students should learn dist sys/general programming/security. Not number tricks. Cryptocurrencies use those more than cryptography.
- Replying to @SlothGameGuy and @yacobg42That is the entire purpose of the credit scoring system: corporations were dissatisfied that they couldn't punish people for defying them when a corporation was (legally or illegally) abusive. So they invented their own system of unaccountable punishment.
- Do you remember the study by NT researchers that concluded "ASD individuals are more inflexible when following a moral rule even though an immoral action can benefit themselves, and suffer an undue concern about their ill-gotten gains and the moral cost."? I think about it often.
- Replying to @JenLRossman and @chloeshaydenIs Sofia in Goncharov (1973) autistic-coded? Discuss.
- Replying to @mr_ooptimisticIt's notable that they explicitly carve out an exception for the medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex infants that the intersex community has been campaigning against for decades. As many replies have said, the cruelty is the point.
- Replying to @gwennelsonuk and @GraceHadassahIn theory. But even the NHS openly discriminates against trans people in service specifications. It probably will take a legal challenge to make them comply with existing law. You can support the one by the Good Law Project if you're financially able to: goodlawproject.org/update/filed-j…
- Replying to @Chican3ryShout out to @grahnort for visibly pushing back on homophobia and normalising being gay in the public sphere when I was a kid. So important.
- Replying to @feministPLT @SlothGameGuy and @yacobg42Credit scoring is also –regardless of the target in any particular case– fundamentally a racist, white supremacist endeavour.
- Replying to @Rae_209 @aamer_rahman and @booksmugglersActually this strategy turned out pretty well in regard to Richard Spencer. Four years later he's a laughing stock, he's broke, and he's in serious legal trouble without a lawyer. Punching him didn't cause all of that, but it helped.
- Replying to @defnotbeka and @hologramvinWe need another Stonewall.

- There's nothing illegal about buying estrogen and progesterone. mobile.twitter.com/feministPLT/st…I don't know who needs to know this, but: online pharmacies such as InHouse are legitimate businesses with reputations to uphold. They sell exactly the same medicines, manufactured under the same safety standards, that you would get from any gatekept "official" source.
- Replying to @PlayerSpud and @laureningramNo, trans women are men.
