I'm going to blame that completely on kbin being weird.

But a Zelenskyy/Ken movie about them getting off the beach and riding horses might be fun. Especially if you can show horn in a "I don't need a ride" line by Zelenskyy. By the end he realizes he does need a ride, a ride to the front lines.

I think women's leagues have their place still. Or some kind of system to encourage more women into chess. There's currently 15.7k men with titles and only 4k women with titles. Until those numbers get closer I would want to see some kind of action taken.

If you want to get radical with women's league you can just have the requirement for them to declare that you are a woman. It can quite literally be a checkbox on a forum when registering. Social pressure will take care of most of the issues. The edge case of men regesterioin bad faith can be handled on a case by case basis.

The gendered leagues exist to promote women in chess. They need to do this because women have historically been discriminated against. These new rules feel like they are asking trans women to prove they are oppressed enough to deserve to play in women's leagues.

Some of the requirements for the change in status is problematic as well.

the National Rating Officer should require from the player sufficient proof of a gender change that complies with their national laws and regulations.

That is a hard requirement to meet in large chunks of the world. Many countries don't legally recognize gender change so it may be quite literally impossible to comply with "national laws and regulations." There's some carve out for asylum and refugee status. But it is possible to be a trans woman in a country, not be able to legally change your gender, and not feel unsafe enough to seek asylum.

I'm reading more on the titles now. So from the actual FIDE document:

If a player holds any of the women titles, but the gender has been changed to a man, the women titles are to be abolished. Those can be renewed if the person changes the gender back to a woman and can prove the ownership of the respective FIDE ID that holds the title. The abolished women title may be transferred into a general title of the same or lower level (e.g., WGM may be transferred into FM, WIM into CM, etc.).

And from what [FIDE titles]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_titles) are on Wikipedia. It seems there is an underlying misogyny in how women's titles work. It seems to me the proper solution is to get rid of the separate title requirements.

analysis of individual cases that could take up to two years.

They are already getting ready to drag their feet. The other policies announced here aren't much better. In particular:

Holders of women’s titles who change their genders to male would see those titles “abolished,” the federation said

There's no reason for that. What does transitioning have to do with past titles. It all reeks of transphobia.

The scale of the support provided is very different. While Germany and others have been provided support, I would be concerned if the USA was to withdraw theirs. It would take all other supporters doubling or tripling their aid to make up the loss. Not an impossible task but also not a small one.

Lemmy.world has been getting DDoS'd. I think it has been having more downtime than blahaj.zone.

It's definitely not your client, Memmy. If it was the posts wouldn't of made it to lemmy.studio. The issue is somewhere between lemmy.studio and the instances hosting the communities.

My guess is you posted them while blahaj.zone was down. When lemmy.studio tried to send the post over it timed out and it never tried again.

But that's only a guess. I would have to actually dig into the federation algorithms and know how exactly lemmy.studio is configured to be sure.

Looking from lemmy.blahaj.zone, it looks like those posts didn't federate. I don't see them on your profile from here but if I look at your account on your instance I see them.

Trans men tend to be shorter than the average man. Trans women tend to be taller than the average woman. A conference of trans men and trans women will have an extraordinary amount of short men and tall women.

That's why the step grandfather's plan failed. If he had just left it alone Moki Awa would only be able to build a straight log cabin. But with all the skills gained from attempting to "man the queer" out of them, they are now able build the gayest non-straight log cabin.

Guys I found the source of the forest fires.

My go to with all projects like this is if it worth it if ends up it's just you doing it for yourself. 99% of these projects attract no one but their creators.

So if you want to make a wiki for your own reference or to be able to link to in relevant conversation or for whatever reason you want to for yourself, and accept that no one else may not contribute or even care, go for it. If you just want this to exist but not put in the effort, you are probably better off seeing if someone else is doing something similar.

Morgan Harper Nichols is who everyone I see attributing it too.

I didn't realize BeamNG.drive had such realistic graphics.

Well the problem indicator still works at least.

Yes. Maybe? I don't know.

It does look like an interesting book about the history of modern sewage systems.

I think a binary spectrum is a bit too limiting still. I like to think of gender as an n-dimensional field.

I see "Группа бойкиссера" which you could translate to "boykisser group" but "бойкиссера" seems to be a transliteration for "boykisser" not a translation. So when it's spoken it will sound something like "[Russian word for group] Boykisser."

That's not how science generally works. It's not up to others to disprove your results. It's up to you to prove results to them.

You generally do this by very carefully explaining what you did and what the results where. Then others can follow your instructions and get the same results.

If they don't get the same results you haven't proven anything.

Ah, in that case we need something like MTFDS, make the fucking discord searchable.
