IOW, if you are the kind of person who is worried about treating people ethically, you are *probably* the kind of person who will channel that worry into actions to actually treat people ethically. As you say, not a guarantee, but it's a start.

This is ~6mos old now but I finally read this and some of the linked paper about de-anonymization. It emphasizes my points about "data linkability" in my Remaining Face-In guide for sex workers: violetrollergirl.com/resources/fo... TL;DR: Work personas aren't enough to protect your legal identity.

I mean, sure, okay. 👍🏻 Don't NOT do this. But why must I have *permission* to transact with others in the first place? Start moving away from banks entirely by using payment apps that are technologically unable to ban and debank us even if they wanted. Consider: violetrollergirl.com/resources/fo...

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Putting my existence on a ballot also turns me into a single issue voter. Anyone with time to berate us for this could instead choose to berate the politicians into regaining our votes. Choosing otherwise is not politics, it is violence. You become the useful idiots who do fascist's work for them.

"Crypto" is no monolith and "targeting" it as such could just destroy one of the most necessary survival tools for especially disenfranchised people including but not limited to trans people who need access to DIY HRT, sex workers who have been debanked, refugees across sanctioned borders, and more.

Cryptocurrency (well, zcash) is good for privacy. Privacy is not just for “criminals,” it is good (essential) for everyone; it’s a *human right.* As Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike noted, we should *all* have something hide: moxie.org/2013/06/12/w...

It is easier to convince yourself that the median voter wants you to cave on trans rights if you, yourself, are unsure about whether trans rights are for people worthy of rights. Cowardice and bigotry are always cut from the same cloth. One's politics are an effect, not the cause, of one's ethics.

I sometimes wonder whether the bigotry or cowardice comes first -- were they looking to take the bigoted position and saw a politically expedient way to get there, or did they chicken out when their rise to power seemed at risk? But then I realize it doesn't matter as the end result is the same. 😠

One often hears an argument that people don't need privacy if they don't have anything to hide/aren't doing anything illegal. That's bullshit, but even on its own terms, who gets to decide what (or who!) is illegal? As shown here, what's legal now can too easily become "illegal" by fiat.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.
