Did we fall? I don’t know many people who buy into “trans.” The CEO of Medium says “there’s no room for transphobia on Medium.” Actually there’s no room for debate. It’s 100% gender ideology and not the tiniest piece of discussion. People like “Queer Kari” can put their sickness on full display and get *recommended* for it.

There’s nothing progressive about that.

But even outside the “trans” stuff, they’ve lost their way. I wrote about software development, mostly opposition to the many dum fads like agile and test-driven development, and while I mostly had hostile responses from fad-followers, I also developed a loyal readership.

There were some good articles. Not anymore. Now it’s the same few worn out topics over and over. Dumb Indians with a few months of experience trying to tell 20 year people how to be good developers.

There are a few articles I’d like to write on there, but as soon as I show up I am somehow recognized and banned again.

Nailed it. In many people's minds debate (or reality) and transphobia are the same thing. It's frightening to see.

Yeah, I lost the red BANNEDer after my LinkedIn exchange with Tony and then a week or so ago I tried to clap or comment or something and it came back.

I checked, my earliest account still says "your account is under investigation." That's some investigation, it's been years.

I peeked at "Queer Kari" and it was a deluge of hateful titles. I didn't actually open any articles, I don't want that malignant person in my head.

One caught my eye, "she" said "Cis women are women too." Duh. I detest "cis," I think distinguishing gender congruence is about as useful as distinguishing one-headedness, the only reason for it is the pretense that "trans" is a thousand times more commonplace than it actually is.

But it was candor I did not expect from Queer Kari.

Well thanks for trying. Not the biggest deal if you can't find the therapist. (Don't care about King Kari a whit). Yeah, I've been under investigation for years too. Apparently a Medium investigation takes longer than OJ's.

No loss, it was only a sentence. But I looked.
