  • I think you must be confusing things or were told a lie. Bluetooth is a standard that is definitely not designed to be able to work like that. NFC is designed to work with thin tags that don't have a battery. Essentially they get power wirelessly from your phone in order to be able to send information. But, due to the inverse square law, you would need extreme amounts of power to be able to do that over a long range, so it just isn't something that could work with mobile phones.

  • We accepted control at expense of convenience

    I would have thought it would be more accurate to say we accepted convenience at the expense of privacy and security...

  • I was really trying to come from a helpful place. I did say detransitioning was very rare (twice to try to emphasise it). I thought it was important to talk about because it's one of the first things I thought about and had to research when my son transitioned to alleviate my own concerns.

    I don't completely remember where I got that SA idea from (I know I didn't make it up). But, I can't verify it now, so I am happy to be corrected on that.

  • You're probably going to have to find out for yourself if you want to join someone on the inside. The whole point is that if anyone is disrupting things from within, they're doing it secretly. So no one is able to name them publicly, otherwise they would be removed instantly.

  • People seem to hate the title but hopefully it lures in some ignorant people who would ask that and teach them why science changing is a good thing.

  • I heard an interview with a woman who tried to commit suicide. She was having lots of suicidal thoughts without actually planning to do anything, like you are. But, one day something happened and suddenly she decided that was it. I think she took a lethal dose of pills and she was just lucky someone happened to find her before it was too late. I think that's a very common sequence of events.

    She now really regrets trying to do that and works to try to prevent other people from committing suicide.

    I've also been there, thinking about it without actually ever planning to... I regret not getting therapy sooner.

    My point is this is actually serious and therapy may help you enjoy life more. What's the point in living if you're not enjoying it? Why not do what you can to make it more enjoyable? And maybe it would prevent you from doing something really regrettable.

    I think you should at least call a hotline and explain your feelings to someone who knows about this stuff professionally. I've heard they get a lot of calls that are much less important and they're still happy to help.

  • I think this line of thought is really important here. You two may like each other but just be incompatible due to gender identiny and sexuality. It really sucks if that's the case, but it's better to recognise it earlier rather than later.

  • I'm sure there's way better examples than the president. He's in an entirely unique position and can do things that would land anyone else in prison.

  • I wish the guy who assaulted me went to prison for it… or anything, really.

    Just want to let you know I feel for you. Really sorry that happened to you and that this kind of thing does happen. I hope you don't let it continue to reduce your quality of life.

    I do feel like a lot of self proclaimed feminists are dismissive of sexual assault against men. I've often seen responses like "but it's men who are usually the perpetrators", which I think really shows they're coming from an us vs them perspective and they don't have much empathy for the male victims, because of their gender.
