Me too. I feel like an entire generation of trans girls found hope in her success. I hope they keep her site up.

Unfortunately, many smart TVs use 100 Mbps RJ45 ports, so WiFi is usually faster. Some TVs allow you to plug in a USB to RJ45 adapter, but most of the USB ports are only USB 2 speed, so the practical limit is 300 Mbps. Some nice ones have USB 3 ports enabling 1 Gbps through an RJ45 adapter. I wish the manufacturers put at least gigabit (if not 2.5 Gbps) RJ45 ports on TVs.

The green bubbles break Apple's accessibility guidelines - making it more difficult to read (especially for visually impaired users). The better option is switching to Signal, but some people have strange hangups.

It is practically impossible unless one is in prison or something. In the future it could be enforced with biometrics authentication interlocks.

iOS/Mac? Apple sells advertising too. They're just as evil if not more than any other megacorp.

That's probably there so that users don't plug their phones into the PCs. Also saves desk space.

Transphobes don't want trans women to be masculine, androgynous, or feminine. When they're honest, they just don't want trans women to be.

> This is unfortunately yet another gendered imposition, with women feeling like they have to adhere to a beauty standard that comes from the male gaze.

Women who are trans feel this pressure enforced against them with public humiliation, overt misogyny, and violence.

> It doesn't help either when males who opt-in to this beauty standard for their own pleasure get praised as if they are being good women.

Trans women aren't males and don't opt-in to the male gaze. Are you referring to drag queens? There's a more nuanced conversation to be had there, but not in the current climate of terroristic acts against transgender people. Drag is often a critique of gender roles.

There is nothing grotesque about femininity or a trans woman expressing it.
