Agreed, would be pretty interesting. But good to keep in mind that the existence of vandal jerks neither validates nor invalidates any of the ideas they espouse.

I don't really care about their politics, this particular case seems accurate. It's pretty clear that gender incongruence is a medical issue, but trans people are perfectly capable of leading happy and productive lives as long as they receive the proper treatment and aren't subject to abuse for being who they are. I've literally seen that with my own two eyes.

Of course. But you do have do look at any particular situation in its broader context. If there wasn't a huge and ongoing sexism problem, it might be easier to ignore the warts and give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes. But given how things are, those kinds of warts contribute to a hostile workplace and can't be overlooked because they contribute to toxicity. They aren't simply outlier views that can be harmlessly ignored.

I call BS on that. There are nasty people with no respect for personal property on every political spectrum. It's honestly to the point where wouldn't put any political bumper sticker on my car at all, ever.

My personal experience with "far-leftists" as you would call them have been large peaceful protests.

It most certainly is.

Your information is out of date. Being transgender itself is no longer considered a mental disorder. Gender dysphoria, discomfort and dysfunction caused by society and by being in the wrong body is the diagnosable condition. Once transgender people have been treated, there isn't any more dysphoria and there is no disorder.

And yet every single woman I've ever asked has had some pretty horrible stories regarding sexism, if not outright harassment. There's also still a horrible bro culture problem in a lot of places. In no way have we crossed a line where everything sexist has been fixed and now it's just all about witch hunts.

You don't think Trump supporters wouldn't scratch up a Hillary sticker or religious people wouldn't scratch up an atheist fish on a car?

> Right to exist? Is someone saying they should all be rounded up and persecuted?

A lot of opinions around trans people are centered around it being a mental delusion that shouldn't be accommodated. That leaves them unable to transition and live in society without mental harm. If that isn't persecution, not sure what is!

I seriously doubt that's true. Chances are high that you've already interacted with a trans person and not even known about it. The point people are making is that that fundamental thing that you can't change is actually biologically based, but it's a brain thing, not dependent on genitalia or chromosomes.

It's a proof of concept for testing. You don't need to launch a full size module for that. It would be too costly and probably too dangerous.

Until banks get developer friendly and support OAuth, I'm not sure what else you could do if you want real time verification. I guess micro deposits could still work if you had faster rails, but ACH is still a batch process.
