Sure, but the company fronted the millions of dollars required to develop the technology. The investment needs to come from somewhere.
That doesn't have to be a private company, though. We need public funding that retains the patent rights, if not just to make the invention free from licensing costs to manufacture.
The insane thing about our current system is that we do have public funding, but private companies wind up with the patent anyway
I'm don't
You sure you're not?
Not to take away from your message, but what you've called out is under the umbrella of 'intersex' and genetic disorders, not necessarily trans. There can be large overlap between the two, but they are separate things.
So that's what happened to my Blu-ray drive on my PC! I had to flash the firmware to a custom version for ripping to get it to read anything.
That is incredibly shitty behavior. I'm putting the disk that I purchased into my own hardware. The studio already got my money from the sale, why the hell do they care?
Nah. This would require an update be sent out to every blu ray player, which is not feasible unless they were all standardized to a single database or service for their license keys.
Even if that were the case, which it's not, the device would need to connect to the internet for this scheme to work.
Then you have an eating disorder.
This is good advice, but it's couched in the "dopamine depency" psuedo-science nonsense.
Fact-check before you comment, next time. The internet is filled with uninformed opinions already, don't add to the noise.
That's a self identified number from a poll. The percentage is likely much lower if you have any conditions for labeling someone as trans outside of self identification.
The mishandling of sensitive government communications is and has been rampant in the state department and among elected officials on all sides. As someone who used to work with classified information, I find it sickening.
That's not how metabolism works. You'd need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.
If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.
