pale moon and other "alt" browsers are mostly pushed by those who want to abuse browsers for bad reasons. for instance, a bunch of bigots now dont want to use firefox because of a blog post denouncing white nationalists and other republicans. it's a dog whistle for bigots trying to evaid crackdowns on their misogyny, racism, transphobia, and heteranormativity.

I will not use pale moon because its maintainer is a furry. Furryism denies the struggles of women and focuses attention elsewhere. Coraline Ada Ehmke has written about why bad maintainers are toxic and should be cancelled/removed from projects: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941

Can we stop referring to portions of Usonia populated primarily by POC as "backward", please and thank you? Let's not further marginalize those who have already been opressed for so long, mkay?

> she gives you the certificate

Switching to default-female pronouns is progress but not good enough. Furthermore, implying that a woman is doing the clerical work here perpetutates centuries of female opression and abuse against womxn, especially womxn of color. Please use "they" in the future to avoid this situation. Since it's a quote, "[they] give you the certificate" would be a good way to revise it.

We just had a kerfuffle about fixing this in real git, but it looks like this repo still uses "master". Can we all just stop hating POC pls? A one-word change to avoid evoking centuries of bigotry is not that hard, so cope.

Assuming gender is one of the harmful practices that i meant. assuming that someone who menstruates is a woman enforces the idea that cisgendereds are the "normal" and to be expected.

People who self-identify as male are men. 'fxtentacle's implicit definition of men excludes trans men, non-binary people, and other members of the LGBTTQQIAAP community whose biology does not match their gender expression. It upholds the assumption that trans people are invalid and is therefore a form of violence against trans people and other LGBTTQQIAAP people.
