When it gets low enough, it starts beeping like the health bar from LoZ LttP and takes itself out the rest of the way

I believe you are overestimating the abilities of mainstream online transphobes to critically examine a piece of media beyond "boy wear girl clothes???"

I mean, maybe, I really can't say for sure. Taking this to its logical extreme - should everyone have access to Clearview or one of the many facial recognition databases? There are clear upsides and stark downsides.

Obviously this case is a lot less everything than that hypothetical, but I think it's all part of a larger conversation about privacy and access to ostensibly private information, or even how private information should be.

I'm not prepared to believe that humanity is ready for all the privacy we've enjoyed to be lost so quickly.

I'm voting FOR. To be honest, after reading the comments, I do find the argument convincing that we shouldn't enable the illusion of security. But, on the other hand, I strongly believe that creating a tool to specifically investigate particular individuals, even if it was already technically possible, is ripe for abuse.

Literally any barrier to entry can give some angry individual a chance to cool down before they go on a brigade against the target of their rage. I'd slightly prefer if we don't enable them.

All that said, if it's not this tool it will probably be another, so my vote is mostly symbolic.

Well pick up your gun and go do something I guess

That would be the case if it was private but it's not. I assume the purpose is to allow for visibility on the conversations happening in women's spaces. If you only care to listen to conversations you can be a part of, hide the community.

Mensa is "the high IQ society". Take that how you will, membership is mostly used for bragging rights and/or being pretentious.

This is a bit of a generalization. I've come away from work with some very good friends. But I've also been in the situation where socializing was specifically disincentivized. The work culture matters a lot; if you're micromanaged every minute of the day you're going to have a bad time. What you're describing sounds to me like more specifically corporate culture, and more in the executive realm than your average worker bee.

Perhaps it's trite to say so but if anything, the fact that so many people hate their job is above all an indictment of capitalism.

Well hey let's get one thing clear. The establishment was already corrupt. Their mistake is thinking this administration was going to be the ones to fix it because they just bought into the next grift.

It's not weird to touch other people's food everyone does it just for fun. Go to your neighbor's house and touch their food and you can laugh together.
