The doomsday argument is correct, and becomes more obviously correct with each passing day.
If we're talking about Lemmy rather than wider society then;
Inb4; I'm broadly in support of trans people and trans rights/equality but I think there are three small snagging issues
That people who identify as a women but who went through puberty as a male shouldn't be competing in women's sports. I think it's a basic issue of fairness and that it ultimately disincentives people born female from entering a career in sports competitions.
That there is a serious debate to be had about trans people in women's changing rooms. I know it is a very nuanced and sensitive topic and I don't pretend that I have the answer, but I don't think it is as simple as "I identify as X so I'll use X changing room". I'd like to make it clear that I don't think this is a "sneaky perv" issue but rather a debate about spaces that should possibly be reserved for people born as female.
That no permanent changes should be made to the bodies of children. If you're not old enough to get a tattoo, piercing, drink, smoke etc. Then you're not old enough to make an extremely important decision that will effect you for the rest of your life.

Fediverse is not for everyone and I'd rather not have fediverse go mainstream, and if it does I'd rather have normies use normie instances like lemmy.world and mastodon.social because that way you can filter them out if you don't like them.
Using windows os should be marked as crimes against humanity.
