"load is up" is underselling it a bit. Just yesterday I was reading about a dev getting upset because some LLM skid uploaded a 50k line change pull request to their project for an already implemented feature. Contributing to free software is more than being able to produce competent code.

It's never been how it's played out in the past. If a transphobic politician wins it validates their positions. If they lose it's because they need to moderate their views (by being more transphobic).

Frankly, I find the possibility of open source code being scraped into LLMs and reproduced in closed sourced code without the license attached is a far more likely scenario.

It's probably because so far LLMs have been a massive problem for the open source projects currently having to deal with the code they write. You have an optimistic view of how LLMs will revolutionize FOSS in the future when it's strangling projects today.

The trans panic is a manifestation of the same logic as the Satanic Panic - shifting culpability for widespread abuse and rape away from cishet men and onto an exotic other who might secretly be somebody you know and must be vigilant against instead of being vigilant against the men in your life

Arienne Childrey @ari4ohio.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇
Part 1 of an open letter of resignation by Arienne Childrey, stepping down as Vice Chair and member of the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) Pride Caucus. She states that party leadership treats the caucus as a recruitment and sales team rather than a representative body. She cites an incident where the ODP censored and denied permission for the caucus to post a letter by two trans leaders addressing harmful comments made by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The State Party Chair reportedly called the letter an "unwelcome distraction," which Childrey notes demonstrates how little party leadership values the voices and dignity of LGBTQ+ Democrats.
Since that decision, every Caucus plan, every potential post, and every path forward has been filtered through a lens of strict compliance and ODP approval. That may very well be the party's rule, but following those rules right now is a dereliction of our duty to the LGBTQ+ community.

For me, any rule that silences advocacy for the trans community during this time is an unjust rule, and I see no obligation to follow it. In alignment with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail:

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

We are living in incredibly dangerous times for the trans community. We are in an era where the GOP has so thoroughly weaponized trans lives that even some formerly self-professing allies within our own party have fallen prey to the rhetoric. Looking at the national trend towards Democratic anti-trans triangulation, as well as our own internal conversations, it is clear to me that this shift is much more than a simple coincidence.

We have to speak up—loudly, strongly, and unapologetically—or I fear what our 2028 choices may look like. The ODP would like everyone to believe they are a "big tent" party. However, their successful efforts to silence even the Pride Caucus—even in cases where we are simply begging our candidates not to trade on our lives for perceived electoral advantage—has proven otherwise. The tent hasn't gotten any bigger; it has simply shifted, leaving many trans individuals, progressives, and allies out in the rain.

I will continue to advocate, organize, and fight for our community with everything I have. But I can no longer compromise my own moral principles by remaining part of a caucus that appears more interested in party approval than in true, defiant advocacy.

Sincerely,
Arienne Childrey

It sucks actually believing in restorative justice and having to contend with the term being primarily used to mean "you have to keep watching this rapist's internet videos or you're a bad leftist."

I certainly don't agree with everything Erin has said in the past, but she does important work and is a benefit to the community. I feel like a lot of her detractors get upset that she doesn't allow them to remain in denial about how bad things really are.

last repost is that people generally need to completely undo what they think "the whole goal of the socialization of boys into men" is, etc
it's a different & delayed context, but the whole process of "socializing" boys into men is the process of killing any potential trans girls. that's what all the rejection of "girly stuff" & "effeminacy" and creating brotherhoods to hunt out transfemininity and kill it early is.the lack of the presence of cis girls isn't contradictory to the lack of the presence of trans girls. of course a society that has fewer cis girls because it tries to prevent them before they exist also builds institutions to prevent trans girls before they exist.

so, rather than hetero-nationalism, every cis girl and trans girl is a survivor of the cessation-of-existence process?

You can denounce the genocide being committed by Israelis without adopting antisemitic language. Using antisemitic language hurts the Palestinian struggle because it validates the argument that all antizionism = antisemitism. Saying nothing like this other user would be better than what you've said.

No, I just cut them off before they could do the bit. I don't think that this definition gets at the real point of the comic. A "sea lion" is someone who uses the mask of innocent questioning and civil language as a way to trick someone into debating a topic with you.

Sure all of those things can also change, but they aren't often vectors for discrimination in the way sex is. There is a reason why your driver's license doesn't list your race. I believe sex markers should be removed for the same reason.

You cannot tell someone's sex by looking at them. So why then is it an acceptable criteria for identification?
