meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 1hmight have to steal that line. it encapsulates the situation perfectly! 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 2h@sianberry.bsky.social case in point. It's just cruelty. 011
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 2hyou only have to look at the language used in policy and in places like the BBC with the "assigned x at birth but identifies as..." framing that we are not entitled to our identities and should be as broken versions of what they say we are 050
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 2hand they are so far removed from actually listening to a trans person that they feel it is 'dignified' for us to be segregated and treated as second class citizens 140
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 2hWhat you have to remember is that all harm to trans people is reasonable if someone else MIGHT have a problem with their presence, even f that person doesnt know the trans person is trans. This is the official government and EHRC policy 1101
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4hanyway really apperciate the thought and conversation. Im trying not to come off as whining (maybe failing)! 110
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4hi went through the business systems (Salesforce) route to tech leadership. Product would suit me but all the roles i have applied for have pushed back on my lack of previous Product roles. Was speaking to a CPO the other day who was discussing their view on lack of opportunities for non-senior PO's 010
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4hperhaps... but I have run engineering teams (predominantly SAAS but for a brief stint a backend team) and domain architecture experience and noone will go near me as I dont write code. Im working on learning python atm but my brain really struggle with retaining coding 110
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4hand its chock-full of that good ol' "Dignity and Respect" 020
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4has much as I hate llm's (and GenAI can especially die), I dont necessarily disagree but getting that foot-in is even more challenging as the floor has dropped out of engineering and product - people are only recruiting seniors 110
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 4hin your learned opinion, how likely are legal teams (or doctors for that matter) likely to consider and trans person with a GRC being placed on a "biological sex" ward disclosure of their identity and therefore unlawful? 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 9hdecapeptyl? how I do not miss those shots. GL for today! 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 14/10/2026spent my entire life savings on surgeries, which I had to leave my job to have, and now havent worked in a few years and noone will hire me. Still dont regret transition 030
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I worked in fintech for nearly a decade doing saas implementations and domain development. Now after 3 years out (yay medical stuff) I am trying to get back into work and feel like such a moron trying and failing to sysnthesise how ai has changed the landscape 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Im also considering but no money, no job and no support system are big barriers at the moment 020
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026and things like this is why I wanted to try it. I learned stuff creating a solution and I learned stuff from people who actually know what theyre doing! Ty 110
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026trying not to doomer, but it seems to be all I have lately. My guess is they just... wont. They'll post about "values" and their "position" for lobbying but wont actually do anything to affect the real harms being caused (like many schools and the kcsie crap) 040
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026doesnt cover non-integer or negative inputs but could be somewhere to start 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026def den_to_hex(number): hexadecimal = "" while number > 0: rval = number % 16 remainder = hexdict.get(rval) hexadecimal = remainder + hexadecimal number = number // 16 return hexadecimal print(den_to_hex()) 100
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026hexdict = { 0: "0", 1: "1", 2: "2", 3: "3", 4: "4", 5: "5", 6: "6", 7: "7", 8: "8", 9: "9", 10: "A", 11: "B", 12: "C", 13: "D", 14: "E", 15: "F" } 100
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026wanted to give this a go despite knowing nothing about python. Using your code as a base for the logic I defined a string dictionary instead of using the string method in the function and using the remainder calculation as a substep. Came out like this: 100
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Indeed. It is a strong and eloquent statement encapsulating something I have been thinking of as the "Give a man a fish" approach to real world problems. How to we move forward and collectively gain from a powerful technology when its current use is depriving us of avenues of thought 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The BBC newsroom are openly anti-trans. See their need to state Jewell is "Biologically Female" and the failure to mention Nick Wallis' open anti-trans sentiment 1230
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 07/08/2026@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social This argument from the government still wasn't considered strong enough which lead to the GRA. Apparently now though, despite "no reduction in rights" you and your government are forcing worse circumstances. Square that circle. 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Does anyone know who the Data Owner for the Demographic data (ie OSAB) is for your medical record? Is it your GP or some centrailised NHS function? 210
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 27/07/2026it depends, of course, on the platform displaying the data but as gender information is usually clear at the top of the record, I dont hold much hope. This change ensures that the data is available to all services with access to the core data 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 27/07/2026so do you think there is value in pursuing that avenue legally? 2120
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 27/07/2026does having this data displayed so clearly on the record still fall within the medical exception for disclosure if you have a grc? I find it hard to see how it should be, but can easily see how they would allow it 1120
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 27/07/2026there's a difference between someone having to actively review patient history to discover trans status vs it printed at the top of the record for any viewer to see instantly 100
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Really badly. Finally got all my surgeries and stuff sorted and GRC done then it all hits the fan. Struggling personally with finding work and it makes all the attacks and horribleness even harder. Doom Loop Central 150
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Indeed. Nothing ever happens to the town usually (well unless you used to follow fish & chip awards) 010
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Oh look, more examples today @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a4cf9... Trans kids are automatically a safeguarding risk to other pupils and bullying trans kids is okay as an expression of gender critical beliefs. But sure.. no hate thereassets.publishing.service.gov.uk 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Appreciate the attempt, but as clearly evidenced by James Murray again today, the cabinet DO NOT CARE. They hate us, either through their own workings or because they feel it is politically beneficial to do so. Banal evil at it's core 2290
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 03/07/2026might be better to frame as rough % if full clear. With older machines a clear is like 100-200 hrs (from my understanding) whereas newer ones can do like 80-150hrs (maybe less (not by much), but its really individual) 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 03/07/2026was 15 for me but ymmv depending on availability and pain threshold 000
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 25/06/2026We all know that any Doctor that doesnt follow the state mandated legal conversion practices on trans people will immediately be held as "falling below the standard" and prosecuted for "causing a transgender identity" (See WellBN). PS. Cass review suggests PB's CAUSE transgender identities 0130
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Wonder if they would be all smiles if this draft made it into law and they were immediately sued by the usual suspects for "Causing Transgender Identity". Because we all know that would happen 050
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Is that a cover for the minister herself because the schools guidance (not able to access the medical exception) has an absolutely foreseeable consequence of abusive practice to stop a transgender identity. 010
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 21/06/2026i also have a lovely, wonderful dad who'd literally do anything for me. <3 him so much 110
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I keep back-and-forthing on trying to make myself available for this. I want to have a voice, but my MP is openly anti-trans (tory) and I am genuinely concerned of local repercussions if I out myself 230
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 19/06/2026i still dont understand how blanket bans that act as GR discrimination are PMOAALA to invoke the exception. Like i can see an argument for a legitimate aim, but I dont understand how its proportionate in ALL cases 120
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 16/06/202640's, section 28, small town, almost didnt make it... yup sounds about right 230
meleki.bsky.social @meleki.bsky.social · 14/06/2026lots of places dont have that option... )applying for jobs at the moment) 130
