I’d say if you have 80% of the requirements you might as well apply. I would frankly ignore years of experience more or less entirely.

It’s not exactly uncommon for a listing to advertise the person they want, but to accept applicants with significantly less on the basis that they can get there. Nearly every job I’ve ever got I was not at the level advertised in something or other.

What??

I am not surprised that it’s just ChataGPT in a box lol, not at all.

Those people aren’t the switch’s target demographic at all. The target market love it, I guarantee.

Yeah I don’t know what any of that means so I’m stuck with good ol’ daddy Samsung for now 😂

Sadly not compatible with everything, though. My phone is off the list ☹️

Don’t you basically have to have rich parents to even survive as an intern?

True, true. I think the chances of me doing at least some sort of installation this year are close to 100% lol

I must admit I’m on the edge of jumping ship, even the software which has been keeping me locked to windows is getting less and less appealing.

Guarantee most of the people who argue about pronouns on the internet don’t even know a trans person.

Not exactly, AI would be able to interpret sensor data in a more complete and thorough way. A person can only take in so much information at once - AI not so limited.

There are certain people I know who have a very distinctive smell that I would recognise… But realistically I’d have to get very close to reliably smell it.

Because people like them and buy them? I mean sure, you don’t, but it’s not so mysterious.

Jesus Christ well I’m glad they moved on from that design.

You really trust this thing’s fearsome actuators with your delicate starfish? Bold indeed.

No

I really appreciate this like of argument, and I don’t exactly diaagree, but at the same time I think you are falling into the same trap as the “simple biology” anti-trans crowd do, and looking for any one thing that defines sex. Sex is a complex collection of features which tend to co-occur. Your primary and secondary sex characteristics are all a part of what defines your sex. I’m not an expert here - the things I’ve listed are fairly basic in terms of what can/can’t be changed.

But there are many aspects that won’t change with transition - there is no treatment that will magically make me a cis woman, I will always be trans. I will always need to make new doctors aware that I am - because there are factors affecting some medications that mean I should be prescribed as a male for example.

I think the important thing for us trans people is not to focus too much on the biology. The important part imo is that it shouldn’t matter what your biology is - your gender identity is what makes you a man/woman. I’m wary of brain structure/chemistry “justifications” of trans identities for similar reasons. I’m sure there is truth there, don’t get me wrong! But I worry about over-medicalising trans identities in general, or even a diagnostic criteria which not all trans people meet…

There are many changes HRT doesn’t make. Chromosomes, gametes, bone structure, etc. Hormones are a small part of a complicated picture. Like I said, and the other commenter elaborated on, sex is not exactly a straightforward thing to define or to say “you are this or that”… But there are features that I have which relate to what we consider a sex, and they won’t change.

I didn’t mean to suggest that sex is easy to define, just that characteristics like chromosomes, gametes and the like cannot be changed by transitioning. There are obviously things we can change (hormonal makeup, appearance), but it doesn’t change the underlying biology that you are born with.

Definitely agree that the whole concept of sex becomes shaky in some circumstances - but it remains a concept which has value in fields like pharmacology. There are outliers, but there are also a huge number of people for whom the basic male/female categories apply.
