So. It apparently went well. =:)As one Lord remarked, "That so many platforms should come to the same conclusion [about you] is extraordinary if you have done nothing to harass anyone":flan_laugh:

@porsupah [https://lgbt.io/@porsupah] In Silicon Valley, there is only a mere handful of cis people. and they all have to sit before an anonymous panel in an attempt to prove that that their gender really is the one assigned to them at birth so that they don't have to take their government-mandated HRT any more.

Content warning: HRT supplier, Brazil

In case anyone's got boosts disabled, I should make note of this (verified, but not by myself) Brazilian supplier of HRT:https://otokonokopharma.com/product/transdermal-estradiol/ [https://otokonokopharma.com/product/transdermal-estradiol/]The E2 gel seems to work out a bit cheaper than Oestrogel - each bottle's quite a bit of money, but their 55ml bottle is equivalent to 11.5 80ml Oestrogel bottles. (Smaller pump measures, higher concentration)They accept various crypto, and bank transfers.https://transmom.love/@elilla/105865362115605935 [https://transmom.love/@elilla/105865362115605935]

Content warning: UK's first statue of a Black woman

"The UK’s first public sculpture of a black woman, sculpted by a black woman, will be installed by the University of Bristol later this year.Local artist Helen Wilson Roe has been commissioned by the university to create a statue of Henrietta Lacks, a black woman whose human cells were found to be the first to survive and multiply outside the body."Perhaps encouragingly, the story concludes by mentioning, "Bristol is beginning to address its role in the slave trade, with Bristol City Councillors last week voting in favour of an “atonement and reparations” plan to address the role the city played in the transatlantic slave trade."https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...stol-university-henrietta-lacks-b1815050.html [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...stol-university-henrietta-lacks-b1815050.html]

Content warning: ukpol, conversion therapy, advisors resign

An actual in depth story on the issue, courtesy of ITV News:"Jayne Ozanne, who is a key member of the government's LGBT+ Advisory Panel, on Wednesday resigned from her role in protest - accusing ministers of being "ignorant" about the issues affecting the community.After ITV News broke this story on Wednesday afternoon, a second advisor, James Morton, also resigned from the panel. He cited the government's response to the story, which he believed to be insufficient. I have been told that other panel members are also considering their positions.""Hitting out at Ms Badenoch, and her boss and cabinet member, Liz Truss, Jayne Ozanne told us: 'They are known among the community as the 'ministers for inequality'. I don’t believe that they understand LGBT people, particularly transgender people. I’ve sat in meetings and I’ve been astonished about how ignorant they are on issues that affect the real lives, particularly of younger people.'"https://www.itv.com/news/2021-03-10...-adviser-as-she-quits-over-conversion-therapy [https://www.itv.com/news/2021-03-10...-adviser-as-she-quits-over-conversion-therapy]

Holy Moley.. I hadn't realised the scale of it."The SBG1 and SBG4 data centres are scheduled to reopen by Monday 15 March and the SBG3 DC by Friday next week. SBG2 was wiped out by the blaze but fortunately no one was hurt in the incident.The fire caused serious disruption across European websites, with, according to Netcraft, '3.6 million websites across 464,000 distinct domains... taken offline.'""How the fire broke out is unclear, although local papers say it took 115 firefighters six hours to put out."https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/10/ovh/ [https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/10/ovh/]

]"The whole story is shown in the first seconds: three aircraft encountering more force than a usual landing (such as a runway overrun). All three fuselages breaking into three parts in exactly the same two places! All three aircraft exactly eight years old.Aluminum members called chords run the length of the fuselage and around the circumference to make up the fuselage structure. The chords are joined to each other and to reinforcing surrounds for large openings like doors.Poorly fitting chords and bear plates around openings were redrilled when mounting holes were misplaced, reshaped and pounded with hammers in order to mate them. This weakened of the structure to below design margins. In addition excessive metal fatigue due to hand processing led to accelerated corrosion, likely causing structural failure in three eight-year-old NG aircraft that broke up on landing. The aircraft were engineered to survive an emergency landing intact and were designed for 30-year airframe life.More to the story as the government colluded with Boeing to cover these deficiencies and frustrate the actions (eventually lawsuits) by a team of whistleblowers.Basically, the subcontractor agreed to use computer controlled manufacturing processes, then did 90% of the work by hand. The resulting substandard parts were beaten into shape on Boeing's production line."https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26416985 [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26416985]

Content warning: pronunciation

@porsupah [https://lgbt.io/@porsupah] I mean to explain my pronunciation, but I may be telling you something you already know here.Worcester doesn't break into chunks like we think it should; while the etymology is warum + castrum, the modern pronunciation treats it as though it's "Worce" + "ster" - and "Worce" is pronounced "woose". So "Worcestershire" is "woose ster sher". Plus "sauce", that's four syllables. :)

Content warning: ukpol, conversion therapy, Starmer

So, this was a bit of a rollercoaster ride in a single tweet..https://nitter.eu/PaulBrandITV/status/1369973170212593666 [https://nitter.eu/PaulBrandITV/status/1369973170212593666]"NEW: Keir Starmer tells me he would ban conversion therapy *in law*. That’s important for the three government advisors who’ve quit their roles in protest at govt."Brilliant!"Starmer says govt has “clearly got a blind spot” on LGBT issues, “not least because it’s a pattern of behaviour”."And who, of the four party leader candidates, refused to sign a letter supporting trans rights, and went on to say he didn't want the matter to be so political?FFS.Still, this /is/ a positive step. Hopefully an advisor can point out what else he ought now be saying.
