The definition of "woman" has always been more fluid than "person with two X chromosomes". I agree that it's not *arbitrary*, but it is to some extent socially constructed. Reasonable people have always allowed for edge cases that don't fit the category neatly, whether someone born intersex or someone who just chooses to sincerely adopt the opposite gender role.
It seems to me that the current controversy is caused by some people insisting that we don't have the right to decide for ourselves who is performing which gender role while other people insist that gender and biological sex are the same thing—both of which are errors, IMHO.
What's unfortunate is that the extreme positions of each group tend to create more of their opposite in reaction. I suspect, for example, that J. K. Rowling's position would be much more nuanced if it weren't for the unhinged reactions to her, IMHO, reasonable concern about women's safety being compromised by a minority of bad actors exploiting the insistence that anyone who doesn't accept all claims at face value is a bigot. Likewise, trans activists aren't wrong to think that some of their opposites are motivated by bigotry.
I guess I'd just like to see the sane majority insisting on nuance and refusing to "take a side" in this unhinged culture war.
A logical move, though, since otherwise developers would just scrape the feed instead of using the API.
If someone decides they would be happier as a woman, sincerely attempts to conform to society's notions about women, and asks to be treated as a woman, it would seem rather churlish to refuse to treat them that way.
Also, of course, churlish to get worked up about the obvious point that biological sex and gender aren't the same thing. I think most of us are in the sane middle, though.
I've been running email servers since before there was email spam and this is *so* true.
Anyone who has ever had to configure a non-trivial SPF record knows it's true.
The *love* of money, fiat or otherwise, is the root of evil.
I mean, the first question would be, does your state government ever actually run a surplus so that it holds enough money for this to matter?

So, not new?
Just closed a channel on my node and apparently a fee of 10 sat/vB was chosen. When will the mempool clear nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx?
I got a force-close in at 11 s/vb this weekend.
I'm as shocked as you are.
I have no idea. I only discovered the video recently because it was a birthday banger on ZM Radio's Bree & Clint show.
This may top Fountains of Wayne's cover of "…Baby, One More Time".
Ah. Never tried the suffix myself. Alternate suggestion, don't use the suffix, log everything to a file, and then choose from the best. Which is what I did. :)
Not 80s, but this one will give you nightmares,:
