That’s a good point. Certain types of studies would be improved by this type of diversity.

Thanks for the well-constructed rebuttal.
So inciteful!
My only “agenda” is intellectual honesty and scientific reproducibility.
Drawing from the experiences on trans test subjects to prove a hypothesis about sexism between CIS males and females is the very definition of a biased study.
I’m happy to discuss OP’s hypothesis for a study on sexism against trans people in a study using trans test subjects… but that’s not what this is, is it?
Do better.
That’s true.
Thanks for not immediately dogpiling me and instead actually making some great points. I appreciate the perspective.
You are going out of your way to poke holes in someone describing a very rare and valid view that demonstrates the discrepancy gender presentation gives in lived experience, and how it follows well tested sexist trends by holding their tumblr post to the standard of a scientific paper.
I used a scientific approach in the science memes community. You don’t seem to care about actual science. You’re going out of your way to believe pseudo science in the name of being kind to someone.
Do better.
I feel for OP. I really do. I want everyone to be treated as equals, honestly.
However, does OP even realize that their anecdotal experience doesn’t even remotely satisfy the (heavy) burden of proof for their biased hypothesis?
In a blind study, everyone in a room going silent when a trans person talks is not necessarily experimentally a 1:1 to everyone in the room going silent when a biological male talks. MANY people that have transitioned (whether they want to admit it or not) have a noticeable difference in their vocal timbre than their biological counterparts. Maybe people went silent because they were fascinated by or fixated on the unusual timbre of the OP’s transitioned vocal cords. We will never know… and some of us realize that correlation does not equal causation.
For example, you wouldn’t conduct a scientific study where you’re attempting to show the differences between how males and females are treated and choose to have one of your control subjects be a trans male. It’s just different despite how inconvenient and hotly debated that truth is.
Additionally, OP was in the same department for years and then transitioned. So, naturally people would approach a more experienced person for help or advice regardless of perceived sex if they knew that person was there longer than them.
Obviously there are differences between how men and women are treated…but OP seems to be using the worst possible anecdotes to provide proof for their hypothesis without correcting for these sometimes subtle inconsistencies. Maybe OP thinks they pass as a male a lot more convincingly than they actually do.
Thanks for chiming in, Genocide Jordan.
I see that you decided avoid answering the question then insulted me like some kind of gaslighting genocidal politician.
Thanks for showing everyone here that your priority is profiteering and your app is subject to capitalist enshittification.
You’ve been dodging the open source question repeatedly because IMO you’re here to make money off of our naivety.
The fediverse happily funds devs that want to help build the community. Here’s a proper fediverse style community: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager
Notice how many contributors there are and the licensing?
It is not. OP is a rent-seeking opportunist building their own closed source app that will try to upcharge you everywhere you look. If you want proof, just look at their other apps.
Here’s a review of their BlueSky app:

Its annoying, I dont like it, makes me not want pro, I havent even really used the app yet just getting hit with messages telling me to upgrade, feels antifediverse
You asked for suggestions, do not have anything in the ui that if clicked makes you pay for pro and doesnt let you use it, have one tab for pro, nothing else should lead you to that, the ui is already laggy, I accidentally click a menu option not related to pro and I get a fat popup telling me to pay for features.
Pro should be optional and burried in a menu, there shouldnt be 10 different menu items that dont function and lead you to a payment page.

Hi,
Thanks for your input! I’m sorry if this makes your experience with SoraSNS less favorable!
Like most other iOS Fediverse apps, this app contains in-app purchase to enable certain features. If you let me know which features you are looking to use in specific that triggered the purchase alert, I would make these features free or paid only after several days of usage.
You shouldn’t. It’s closed source and rent-seeking.
Now open source it and make it free or GTFO.
Triggered? It didn’t trigger me. It made me feel the need to announce my pity for you.
You’re the new Lemmy user from Reddit literally spreading poison on your armpits then acting like a walking billboard for companies that are poisoning you and ripping you off.
Found the suburban white person; these late stage capitalists are so completely brainwashed into the capitalist death cult that they have a deep, all-encompassing longing to define their individuality by loudly announcing what products they endorse and giving a shit about what products complete strangers use.
It’s best not to answer the question because they are just waiting for someone to mention a product that they don’t endorse so they can debate them endlessly about that choice and how it goes against their carefully-curated brand identity.
The only expressly illegal crypto technologies are mixers like Tornado cash.
Also, the law doesn’t define morality. Illegality just means that it threatens the parties in power (in this case, the Fed) enough that they have made laws against it.

I think we all know at this point what happened to Gus. To summarize, Gus Johnson was at one point like the golden boy of YouTube, as a comedian who made short form skits which often would break into tens of millions of views per video. If you weren’t there for his prime, it was insane. Him and his best friend Eddy Burback, who moved from Chicago specifically to live with him, and their podcast, were also defining periods of the commentary craze of the late 2010s.
In August/September 2021, Gus Johnson broke up with his girlfriend Abelina Sabrina, with both sides stating on twitter that it was mutual. In October 2021 however, shortly after the breakup, Sabrina made a video on her channel alleging emotional abuse from an ex boyfriend years prior who had taken advantage of a near fatal ectopic pregnancy she had underwent to manipulate her. These included tidbits such as the ex arguing with doctors and medical professionals to not provide her medical service, forcing her to get an abortion in the earlier stages even though she had wanted to keep the baby, and probably most famously and disgustingly, going to drink and get wasted at a bar with friends while Sabrina had a life threatening medical operation to remove the fetus. Right after the videos release, many speculated on the identity of the aforementioned ex-boyfriend, universally settling on Gus Johnson. While initially ignored by Sabrina, she would end up liking tweets accusing him, and eventually came out and confirmed that Gus was the boyfriend. As a result, Eddy Burback publicly distanced himself from Gus, and the podcast was cancelled. Gus would release an apology video that was widely panned, and then go into hiding for a few months, before resurfacing in his first public appearance of 2022 on the stream of the controversial PaymoneyWubby. In contrast, Gus was much more defensive, retracting his apology and sharing his side of the story. While this was initially seen as controversial, spawning from a video response from Nickisnotgreen, the whole dispute eventually died down. Now, Gus is really struggling popularity wise, with constant viewer decline, and a polarizing image that he has not escaped from.
So, what has happened since the PaymoneyWubby stream? It’s so bizarre that a figure of Gus’ size (4 million subscribers at his prime), who had such a meteoric downfall, just got forgotten about like that. In contrast, his former collaborator Eddy Burback has garnered pretty impressive popularity after leaving the podcast. I remember when he had like twenty thousand subscribers. I just have not heard about Gus in a hot minute. That was the most painful online controversy I can remember. “Boys support boys” was always a very wholesome brand he created, and it seemed like his actions had just betrayed everything he stood for.
