Right-wing people have decided that George Soros is a proxy / representative for "globalism" (an anti-semitic dog-whistle). When people are angry at Soros, it is a dog-whistle for prejudice / hatred against Jewish people

Unfortunately, depression and anxiety don't really limit themselves to a specific domain, and the anxiety of gender dysphoria is pretty all-consuming since you can't really stop being reminded of it

Facebook is fwiw a pretty LGBT-friendly company from what I've observed (the other day a trans woman in my group was finally able to go full-time and there was nothing but excitement), and transgender healthcare is 100% covered (even f

I'm not sure I buy that, are you saying that the only reason that Qt hasn't completely taken over writing native software on (even desktop! not to mention mobile where Qt also works), is a marketing problem? I would argue that Qt&

I don't know why you would characterize it that way when they very clearly describe what they've done to improve this and their plans to improve it further. I wish every company would "refuse to admit" the same way!
