<p>Nothing is bad with jokes about trans people inherently.<p>But as I already said, these are meant to tease your disgust reflex more than provoke laughter.<p>I'd recommend looking up some trans comedians. Not that I think you <i>need</i> to be trans to make jokes about us, but it certainly seems to help go beyond the typical "X identifies as Y" one joke format that is so prevalent in conservative comedy and certainly the Babylon Bee that collecting permutations of it has its own subreddit.[1]<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/onejoke/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/onejoke/</a></p>

<p>Communicating your stigmas is optional, and rarely does anyone with institutional power demonize you or even attempt to de-facto ban you from public life for it.<p>I am extremely obviously trans, I can't opt out of being beaten up because some conservative talking head said people like me are all pedophiles. And if the GOP had their way I'd be illegal anywhere a 10 year old could be as "inherently sexual".</p>

<p>Jokes about alcoholics and bipolar people aren't usually part of a political campaign (willing or unwilling) to get them barred from many parts of public life[1] or fuel other genocidal ambitions[2].<p>Also, they're not even funny.

<p>Arguably, that model is already dying in favor of what Adobe already does: Maximum extraction from everyone who doesn't have price sensitivity and scraps for everyone else.<p>Magic The Gathering for is releasing a set with 60 random non-tournament legal cards for $1000, while thinning supply for their previously most popular product (Draft boosters) in favor of more "premium" products with eye-watering prices.<p>Overwatch 2 has moved on to charging $20+ for their skins and limits essentially all progression to a non-randomized Battlepass that requires you to turn the game into your second job to complete. In OW1, loot boxes were awarded regularly and contained enough currency that a few hours of play could get you any of the now $20 skins.<p>Mobile games figured out that the top 1% of consumers of entertainment media can pay for the bulk of it if you just ask for prices asinine enough. I guess we'll see if barring the other 99% from all optional content will lead to dives in player populations.</p>

<p>It depends a lot on your base image. If you use Debian locked to a release, you'll likely get the same Apache version plus small fixes / security fixes (whatever the exact Debian policy is).<p>That's not reproducible in the sense of "reproducible software", but it is usually good enough to build other things on top of.<p>If you want reproducible in the sense of unchaging/same digest, you should make a custom base image with the things you never want to change and pull it from somewhere.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what you mean by "snapshot" when most docker images are instructions to (more or less) reproducibly create an image.<p>I hope you don't COPY your entire system into the container at least.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what reality you live in, but I had decided long before I told anyone at work and they still kept misgendering and deadnaming me regularly without me magically getting them fired. The only solution really is to switch jobs and never tell them your prior name.<p>The only exception to this is very obvious malice. Everything else is more likely to get you fired if you complain to HR than them.</p>

<p>Then why are they still hosting several sites that people complain about it all the time too. Cloudflare loves providing services to Nazis as long as they don't get themselves associated with mass shootings too often in the same small time window (8chan) or your Infosec hire turns out to be associated with some of the Nazis who claim they have inside help to stay on Cloudflare. (Daily Stormer)<p>Infowars is literally on Cloudflare right now.</p>

<p>You're acting like "lobbying to make them" is as easy as following a 3-step how to guide.<p>Think about trans people as a demographic for a second.<p>We have very little economic power or numbers worth mobilizing for votes. Absolutely nobody has any interest in lobbying for us, corporations posturing to appeal to idealistic liberals (and then doing nothing) aside.<p>The only resemblance of institutional power trans people have is to appeal to those that have the actual power.</p>

<p>That is a lie. Nobody is making "bathtub estrogen". It's not that easy to make. It's always been a joke.<p>Estradiol as a medication is easily available. It is listed on the WHO list of essential medicines and very commonly prescribed to women after menopause. So there's no money to be made there either.</p>
