I mean I understand that you're joking, but just in case,

You realize that's totally different, right?

Holy shit, TIL IBM has been around since before WWI.

"desktop" in general is a much smaller number than it once was, since laptops can do so many of the things people once used desktops for.

Yeah, the trick is to only molest them when no one is watching, and don't put it on your resume.

I did get curious and try to dig up if those irises were classified by gender identity or agab, and neither the paper quoted nor the paper they cited as the source clarify on that point. They do only use the word gender, though, never sex.

It doesn't bother either of us to be using the same login on the computer. And it doesn't really bother her that firefix is installed nor me that chrome is.

And since chrome is sitting right there, it's the easiest way to use my therapist's video service.

Did I say easy? I think I said ideal.

I do have both installed, but it's easier to use chrome for the one use case I have since it's going to be installed anyway for her

Edit: oh you mean a user agent switcher too... Well, that seems like work 😛

Welllll I also have the other use case of my partner refuses to switch, so she wants chrome on the computer too.

It doesn't sound like they excluded trans or genderqueer people, they just ignored their gender. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong, but?

Last I read regarding trans brains: it's a confusing mishmash and unclear if brains are even as sexed as they seem outside of just size. If they are though, it seems like probably trans brains are at least somewhere in between? More research definitely appreciated.

I mean the paper you quoted keeps saying "gender" ...Is it actually for affirming trans folks? Big if true but I obviously didn't read the source material.
