I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says "you look good for a trans man/woman", in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.

Isn't this about "you look good for a trans man/woman"?

"You're smart for a woman" is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former "compliment", maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.

Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.

Now that's husband-attracting outfit!

Dang, you're still posting? I haven't seen these for months.
Probably because I rarely scroll below 100 upvotes on Top...

What's the origin of that background? I've seen it on a couple of posts lately.

He will also never attract a husband.

I saw list item 1 more as "I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually", rather than "I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable". Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn't that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don't even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it's just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don't even support 100w.
