On a side note what was the deal with https://libreboot.org/news/leah-fundraiser.html https://libreboot.org/news/leah-fundraiser.html . This seems kind of unseemly to be fund raising for an elective surgery using your open source project as a platform. Was the fundraiser successful? Is type of thing common among project maintainers?
- and_who 6y agoLeah has a history of making brash decisions but we (the other devs) agreed to posting that single news article. It meant a lot to her so we allowed that post for her sake, but no it is not common amongst project maintainers.
- knz_ 6y agoGCS isn't elective surgery.
- ipsocannibal 6y agohttps://thetranscenter.com/transwomen/gcs/ https://thetranscenter.com/transwomen/gcs/ "The decision to have gender confirmation surgery (GCS) is a very personal, private matter, and not all transwomen will elect to undergo this procedure. It is important to keep in mind that GCS is not a requirement for transition, and many transwomen feel happy and content with their bodies without undergoing GCS." So yea, its elective.
