Your post is in danger of being deleted because there isn't an open-ended question in there.

You maybe had better address this question to developers or in communities dealing with building out the fediverse in particular.

I have no idea if this was Huang on Huang spying, export ban evasion, or a Chinese Trojan horse. And I'm happy about all the negative headlines about so-called AI or the incumbent president.

Still, and at the risk of having to take a long shower after this, I think I have to defend the mad orange. Let's say there was a big Lockheed Martin deal in the making with Japan or the UK, billions of dollars for weapons and what not. Let's say their CEO was cozying up to a person allegedly affiliated with an adversary's intelligence service. And revealing this would endanger the whole deal. I think any president, no matter what party, would try to keep this under wraps. Do something like cancel that special briefing for the CEO so you didn't do nothing alright. And then hope for the best. If they break this story, the deal is over and LM and all the jobs there are in real trouble. If the NYT breaks this with anonymous sources, there is wiggle room. I think that's just executive realpolitik and not another character flaw in 47. He has enough of those already.

Anyways, eff me, I'm off to the shower.

To be fair, the courts didn't order a transition. Nor could you say the poor man had much of a choice in the matter. Nor was he a Hannibal Lector type violent criminal, as far as I know.

What happened to Turing was reprehensible and wrong. His case is a good example to point at when decisions like this are forced upon unwilling people. OP doesn't want to force this on anyone.

With these things, you cannot deal in certainties. So the best answer is probably there is a high likelihood that a theoretical, voluntary transition like that would lower aggressiveness. However, and I assume the down votes are a reflection of that, there probably is a way to achieve that outcome, including medical procedures, that doesn't require a transition. And since that's unfortunately a hot button issue, linking a gender transition to a form of criminal punishment is not a good look.

Physical integrity is a highly valued right even in countries that still do capital punishment. So few people would put your theoretical plan here into a therapy plan or the law. A transition should be a personal decision based on an inherent need of the self and not an item on a menu of therapies that might get you out of the institution faster.

There are no stupid questions (well, hardly any) here but there are ones worded off the cuff that may lead to a pile on. I'm afraid yours here falls into the latter category.

The Trek Wordle clone game's word of the day is very appropriately:

Touchscreens can serve a function. And that's predominantly when you have your laptop atop your lap. In a cafe or on a plane where even operating your touchpad may be hard for a lack of space (or for me size of gut). On the couch is another scenario like that. If you don't encounter those situations a lot, don't get it, especially if it's more expensive. If you hate fingerprints on any screen, don't get it. If you're not sure and money isn't an issue, take the extra feature.

And none of that applies to what I wrote. Hence my confusion. Could this be hyperbole on your part?

What now?

My gut feeling is not here. It sounds to me like you need specific local legal advice. Search for a local tenant organisation or union, if such a thing exists where you live. They may offer free consultation. If not that, you somehow need to find or befriend a lawyer.

Are other parties in your building also negatively affected? Start reaching out to other tenants who feel the same way.

No, it isn't fair. "Rugged" isn't an objective measurement. Not all of them are outdoorsy. Some have emigrated to other climates. To Hollywood even. A lot of Aussies are doing everything they can to mitigate the impact of harmful UV rays. Especially actors might do more for their physical appearance than the average Bruce or Sheila.

Why are you so focused on how people look?

That sentence of yours I quoted above is a solid red flag for me. Your reply now barely answers the "how" question. You didn't bother answering the "where" one. Because there are communities that have rules to avoid politics all together or to stay on topic. So proselytising about the corrupt system or terrible companies even in the most polite terms in a community that focuses, say, on cute bunny pictures will naturally get the moderators going. Another possibility is still that you haven't quite expressed your opinions in the innocuous way you think you have when moderators have stepped in in the past.

Also consider that a lot of the instances that don't do any or very little moderation tend to be isolated. By which I mean other instances won't federate with them.

Of the big instances, Lenmy dot ml has a reputation for being moderated in a biased way. So maybe stay away from there. And read the community rules before you post.

So if all these cities are their unique time zones different from each other, all you need to know is the travelling time between each city and the departure time from St Pancras. So that was maybe 12:05 London time. Arriving 2 hours later in Paris at 13:41 Paris time, another 191 minutes to Cologne where the train arrives at 14:47 local time, etc. You need to write a book with all these time conversions. Not just to book a trip on this imaginary train but also for the people operating the points along the way, many in different time zones than the stations it stops at. That train travels through Germany so it's bound to be delayed. Was the delay caused in a time zone in between Cologne and Berlin? It's a delay of 47 minutes but where exactly was the train when it happened? Because if I don't know that I don't know how to convert that local time to local Warsaw time. It's a heck of a lot easier if, say, Paris to Warsaw are in the same time zone. As a society, we arrived at time zones for a reason.
