Ethics in Julia

Well, If conversation continues there, I’ll certainly keep reading it, at least.

I’m curious why the opinion of Random Person on Internet should hold more moral force with me than my One Trans Friend (who’s work incidentally is working with and advocating for trans people).

If you don’t mind me saying so, perhaps you can try to imagine why reading a remark like this from you might make me inclined to think that it might not be a totally fruitful discussion. If you recall, I shared that post in direct response to you saying that you wanted to know the opinions of nonbinary people on the subject. I pointed out that not only is the author of this piece nonbinary themselves, but is a researcher whose specific area of academic expertise is gender issues in technology. Seeing you now characterizing that expertise and experience as “the opinion of Random Person on Internet” isn’t very encouraging to me. Hopefully that makes sense.
