The implications are interesting enough when we apply this to systems like capitalism or national governments, but there are other very interesting implications when applied to systems like race or gender.
Like, as a cis man the only way I can be free to express and explore my own masculinity is if the masculinity I participate in is one which allows anyone the freedom to leave. Then I have an obligation to recognize the validity of nom-masculine trans identity as a necessary component of my own. If I fail to do this, then I trap myself in masculinity and allow the system to control me rather than me to be a free participant in the system.
But if it's OK to escape but not enter, that's it's own restriction that constrains the freedom to leave. It creates a barrier that keeps people in by the fear that they cannot return. So in order for me to be free in my cis masculine identity, I must accept non-masculine trans identities as they are and accept detransitioning as also valid.
But I also need to accept trans-masc identities because restricting entry to my masculinity means non-consensually constraining other identities. If every group imposes an exclusion against others coming in, that, by default, makes it impossible to leave every other group. This is just a description of how national borders work to trap people within systems, even if a nation itself allows people to "freely" leave.
So then, a free masculinity is one which recognizes all configurations of trans identities as valid and welcomes, if not celebrates, people who transition as affirmations of the freedom of their own identity (even for those who never feel a reason to exercise that same freedom).
The most irritating type of white person may look at this and say, "oh, so then why can't I be <not white>?" Except that the critique of transratial identities has never been "that's not allowed" and has always been "this person didn't do the work." If that person did the work, they would understand that the question doesn't make sense based on how race is constructed. That person might understand that race, especially whiteness, is more fluid than they at first understood. They might realize that whiteness is often chosen at the exclusion of other racialized identities. They would, perhaps, realize that to actually align with any racialized identity, they would first have to understand the boot of whiteness on their neck, have to recognize the need to destroy this oppressive identity for their own future liberation. The best, perhaps only, way to do this would be to use the privilege afforded by that identity to destroy it, and in doing so would either destroy their own privilege or destroy the system of privilege. The must either become themselves completely ratialized or destroy the system of race itself such being "transracial" wouldn't really make sense anymore.
But that most annoying of white person would, of course, not do any such work. Nevertheless, one hopes that they may recognize the paradox that they are trapped by their white identity, forced forever by it to do the work of maintaining it. And such is true for all privileged identities, where privilege is only maintained through restrictions where these restrictions ultimately become walls that imprison both the privileged and the marginalized in a mutually reinforcing hell that can only be escaped by destroying the system of privilege itself.

This week's pickups! Dino Crisis (in space) and Sudeki on OG Xbox. Played neither of these. Reviews seem positive. Tenchu on PS2 because it had a memory card inside the box, bonus. On PS1 we have Twisted Metal 2, original XCOM (I played the DOS version), and the fantastic Raiden Project shmup! #retrogaming

Firefox heeft op mobiel een knopje 'vereenvoudigd lezen' waarbij alle opmaak wordt verwijderd. Ik ontdekte laatst dat het ook blokkerende popups negeert 🤗

Den 24-25 november är det Internetdagarna, och jag leder ett spår med tre pass på temat digital suveränitet, kontinuitetshantering och prepping. Från världen till hemmet.
Kanske ses vi på internetdagarna? Grymt fint program i år.

Nee je kan niet meer je overheid en maatschappij verhuizen naar Amerikaanse servers - @… 's writings

Even voor luie mensen de kortste versie ⬇️ met de aanrader om vooral het hele artikel door te laten dringen.
Deze erkenning kan ik waarderen:😉
'Zo opgeschreven ziet het er vrij bizar uit, maar dat is het ook. Het is ook niet makkelijk om door te hebben dat onze relatie met Amerika na 80 jaar uit is. Kostte ook mij tijd om dat te accepteren.'
Hij heeft gelijk.

'systemd-analyze' is a useful if random tool that's part of systemd; it's actually got a whole bunch of different useful bits thrown in. The 'blame' , 'plot' and 'critical-chain' subcommands let you debug start up time. 'calendar' and 'timestamp' let you test if your format for a time/date is OK to use in a systemd file; 'verify' lets you check your systemd unit file for errors. There's loads more random bits.

Dette er et problem mange av oss sliter med. Foreldre som er ikke-digitale i en digital verden, og systemene stŸtter ikke stedfortredere med fullmakter til å hjelpe!
