despite how often people say it, no-one in the West actually *acts* as if there are only two genders. the two genders people *name*, 'man' and 'woman' (both with additional implied characteristics like heterosexuality, cisgenderism, and gender conformity), and by which they explain other genders, are just the two you can 'correctly' be.
people who claim to believe that there are only two genders nevertheless have an awful lot to say about other genders that they sort other people into, without their consent, for differential treatment. the effeminate un-man, the butch un-woman, the he-she, the undecidable gender are openly and fervently discussed; one is just understood to *not want to be one of Those Things*, and to be one of Those Things everyone 'knows' exist makes one an acceptable target for violence, ridicule, and rejection
(but even as it pushes us out of 'honest society,' heterocapitalism absorbs those of proscribed gender into marginal forms of labor, precarious socialities)

I really wish people would stop policing people to CWing political posts. There is no such thing as "non political"
And more info on what the program at Pursuit is like: https://medium.com/@fullstackkenmare/5-reasons-why-pursuit-was-not-worth-the-price-6ce81ad7061c
If you're looking for a tech bootcamp in NYC, Pursuit might sound like a great option, especially if you are from one of the marginalized communities they claim to cater to. However, the terms of their ISA are not great and you can definitely do better with camps like Grace Hopper:
I'd joke that if more people donated, they'd have enough to pay for someone to edit their emails. But everyone knows they're not asking for more money to, haha, PAY their employees
I copy-pasted, so the weird repeated references to the time of year are on them, not me
The school I am paying $900 to every month: This holiday season, please consider making a donation to us in your year-end giving

Every generation looks back on their teen years with fondness, unless you grew up in the late 90s, which were objectively the nadir of fashion, music, and overall culture.

any media that you can totally avoid consuming yourself and yet can reconstruct the plot of just from details you overhear people who aren't even your friends discussing? your gamer thrones, avenge hers, etc.? gets the wall

Real worker complaints: my back is destroyed, I'm riddled with anxiety, I have no health care, my boss is harassing me and I might get fired of I report it, I'm tired all the time, I might lose my home
Cop complaints: they wrote pig on my coffee but actually they didn't and it was really me

a TERF: trans women are misogynists who reify gender stereotypes, and that's why I am bravely feministing about them
also a TERF: here's a candid picture of noted cis actress Keira Knightley in a swimsuit, probably taken against her will. I will now go through a point by point analysis of every part of this picture that I think is 'masculine' to support my argument that she's not really a woman
