Yeah "transphobia has no place on Medium," and nothing could possibly be more transphobic than biological fact.

But it's not just the "trans" shit; I wrote mostly about software and those articles are mud now. Horseshit about holding more effective meetings (I want no more than a half hour a week), idiotic junior programmers proferring advice on what it means to be a senior developer ("think outside the box").

It bewilders me how many people buy into this "trans" shit. People smart enough to know better actually believe the mass suicide nonsense, they believe the numbers, I think "pod person" nails it.

that's why I suggested telling him what you got banned for suspended or whatever for. "Some idiot claimed that my hack for a MySQL database error was racist; that hierarchized subroutines are inherently colonial and a 'dog whistle' to white supremacist software engineers; and that 'Agile methodology is blatantly ableist." Maybe Stubby will decide there *is*, after all, a place on Medium for coders who prefer fewer time-wasting meetings. You could test him with a quick piece on the efficiencies of ten-minute standup meetings, and if anyone complains about your endless coding ableism, you can argue you were talking about meetings that started with jokes, but none about trans people :)

As fate would have it, a Facebook status by me from 2017 before I retired just appeared. "Face to face collaboration at work. Disrupts the work I'm doing because others think their issues more important than mine. Causes me to remove the music in my ears and replace it with my hearing aids. Ram it where the sun don't shine."

We are kindred spirits ;0)
