It also helps catch e-bikes

Granted, if you are riding with someone on an e-bike, it can just repeatedly detect them through your ride.

Abbott doesn't strike me as the type who can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time, metaphorically speaking.

Before seriously questioning whether I was cis or not, I specifically looked up autism gender because I've long thought I'm too autistic for gender. But since I don't have an official diagnosis, I never considered using the autigender label and just didn't think about that for a while longer. I always found it a bit strange that other autistic people could be binary trans because of my own disconnect from gender. Allistic cis people caring about gender was always weird too, but like. They're allistic. They're gonna be weird. Why would autistic people go out of their way to embrace the charade of gender? At least teenage me still didn't use my confusion as a reason to be transphobic.

First you have to switch devices from the PC to the console to use it.

I grew up with SNES and N64 era, so maybe I'm old enough?

PC. Consoles are too much to deal with. Cartridges are probably better than discs, but either having to change games in either is probably gonna make me choose to just not play instead. With PC, everything is just a few clicks away.

Gotta wonder if this type of thing is partly an attempt to undermine public schools to shovel more money towards for-profit schools. Or if it really just is culture-war BS to try to appeal to his base...

Great seeing exploration to be encouraged. Fear of being "ammunition" for transphobes has definitely been something that's held me back. I don't know have any solid gender identity and don't think I want one. Finally decided to try out HRT and I'm grateful for the existence of informed consent. Still not sure what my goals are or if its a good decision, but I think I'd rather find out by giving it a try and think it will be a valuable experiment regardless of the outcome. I intended to come out to a few more people before starting HRT, but was never sure what I'd be coming out as and didn't want to get put into narrower boxes based on whatever that was. Guess now I can come out as someone taking HRT?

Wish we could be at the point where things HRT and other surgeries currently labeled "gender-affirming care" were considered more like getting a tattoo or other cosmetic surgeries respectively such it was more normalized and more people, cis or trans, could have access to them if they want. Why should someone have to figure out something as nebulas as gender to know what sort of body they want?

That's about a 7-8.5 men or 9-11.5 women in US/CA shoe size.

There's only 2 points, not 3. You can't look at the change of the change with only 2 points. For all we know, if they had done the survey in 2005, women would have been further towards freedom and moved towards control for 2014 and the change of the change would show they're accelerating towards freedom.

When you're clients are a handful of companies who will more aggressively change insurers than consumers to save a penny and have their own legal teams, it becomes harder to price gouge or illegally deny claims.

My mom was just like "do you think you could get more scholarships with an official diagnosis?" after mentioning a friend suggested I was autistic. Don't think I've ever had someone doubt it. Guess I'm just too weird. 😨
