The IOC should not use SRY test to determine gender of women's athletes, says scientist who discovered it. More than the SRY is needed for sex determination & differentiation. x.com/kirstimiller...

Our work Implemented & Evaluated Euphoria: Transgender Gender Euphoria Principles in Rainborough was accepted to #CHIPlay2026! We developed Rainborough, a research game that translates prior transgender euphoria design principles into interlinked narrative, parasocial, and customization systems.

I started even later... it's lovely to finally inhabit a body that I enjoy. It's tanken a lot of work to get here. It probably only would have been less if I'd transitioned as a teen, but I doubt that was possible in the 90s. Finding yourself and being yourself at any age is the best.

It really is never too late. I started at 33. Physically, all the stuff they said could only happen if you transitioned as a teen - it happened to me anyway. Life-wise, post transition I've gotten a doctorate, scored my ideal job, and found an amazing wife. It's literally never too late, y'all.

too many people who love magical girls don't know about Magica Riot yet and this must change 🥹

I've been reading on games, tech, and femininity. I just need to share that I learned from @saharkin.bsky.social that there is such a thing as "Kearney’s taxonomy of sparkle"... and I think I need to read a follow up article!

I never wanted to be a "in my day things were better" old lady... but I need to categorically state that technology actually WAS better. You are currently in the peak of designed obsolence, enshittification, personal intrusion and forced acceptance by lack of choice. Sure, the underlying tech...

I'm playing the patched Linkle's Awakening version. Contemplating seeing if I can also add the quality of life patch so that I don't get three pages of text every time I touch a pot.

Just started a play through of Links Awakening, yesterday. I always enjoy coming back to it, when I want to play old school Zelda games. This the Oracle of Seasons/Ages games✌️

I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!

In Paper Mario, Bowser claims that the Star Rod makes him invincible. However, in the first battle, it merely raises his Defense to a measly 1. If Mario is given just slightly better shoes, he can get through the protection. Bowser cannot handle taking over 10 damage, making the game crash.

Ok... time to gender bend Link for a bit before sleep. 😱

I do not willingly use AI. I don't want to use AI. I don't ever want AI. I wont buy AI products. I will always take a job for a non AI project over an AI project no matter the financial reward. I want to do things, learn things, experience things and I want actual people to thrive.

i think microsoft and sony are both nearing the end of their video game making days. and thats ok. people in charge that have no passion for what they make for others shows and we take notice. there have been game makers before and there will be many many game makers long after they are gone.

OMG I had no idea that the new #GitS also does Tachikomatic Days (well I guess it's Fuchikomatic Days)! 🤣😂🤣

This event is going to be fun if you like robots, computers, or learning about how to do research differently! Also, the event is the day before my birthday, so you should come and wish me a happy birthday because I'm a Leo. Also, if you can't come live, registrants get a recording!

In this seminar, six scholars will discuss their research in Human-Robot Interaction and related research areas and describe how the Counterventions series supported their transformation and growth as researchers. purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Every single day Github gets quietly worse and when trying to explain this to non programmers I said it'd be like if a corporation acquired the earth's atmosphere and constantly fucked it up in new and irreversible ways due to greed and ignorance, but I guess that did actually also happen.

MYTH: The participation of trans & intersex athletes hurts cis women. FACT: Including trans & intersex athletes will benefit everyone.

Did you know the ARC is on Bluesky? If not, I encourage you to follow them: @arc-gov-au.bsky.social There will be a lot of change over the next couple of years. Tuning into them on here will help raise this channel's priority for their communication with actual researchers.

Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??

TAPS completely catastrophically implodes if you give it Japanese text, surprising no one. ANYWAY... I'll share a bit about Katie Seaborn and I's acceptance work on X ジェンダー (X-Jendā / X-Gender) gamers later. #CHIPLAY26

OK. Finally ready to try out Earthbound (Mother 2). I've got the Transternalbound #romhack set up so I can play in a gender affirming way! #snes #trans #transgender www.romhacking.net/hacks/9714/

Successfully have Star (genderhacked Megaman X) beaming in (and blinking) in-emulator! #romhack #megamanx #snes #trans #transgender

Something like 20% of my interactions on the web are now "Are you human?" widgets.

As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/

Doing sprite work on my genderhack of Megaman X. I *think* I've got a design that works (original X and evolution in the 2nd image). It's interesting that the sprite constraints push back on the original character design. (Pink pixels are the original silhouette.) #romhacking #megaman #trans

The people whose “allyship” has a carve-out for sports—because “fairness,” don’t’chaknow—are either misinformed people who haven’t seen the studies disproving that nonsense OR bigots too cowardly to just admit that they don’t think trans women are women. There’s no other option.

anyways trans women are women and should be able to participate in women's sports with no exceptions

The 11 hours it took for me to realize you can turn off Gemini in Google Docs were truly torturous because I keep browsers windows at half the width of my screen and every time I went back to work on this Very Important Document for someone's career, Gemini activated and tried to "help."

The politically biased CASS Review set out to 'prove' their pre-conceived position whereas this Dutch review discovered their position. This fundamental framing error by Hillary CASS has caused the quality of their arguments to be so very low.
