Can you feel it?

Sure, but that doesn’t make it significantly more reasonable.

Also, why would any prominent supposedly trans actress, having successfully passed as cis for 25 years of extreme scrutiny, choose to draw attention to her gender expression now? At an age when it would be somewhat unusual to be pregnant? In the midst of maybe the least-accepting environment for trans rights in history?

So, ok, wait.

1. First of all, she looks great.

2. Second, I’m two years younger than her, and I already couldn’t imagine having another newborn at this age. Woof. Good luck to her.

3. Ok. So to the matter of this article. The Princess Diaries came out in 2001. They’re suggesting that gender-affirming care was already common enough and good enough that an unknown actress could access it in the late 1990s and have it pass undetected?!

Honestly I think that’s harder to believe than anything I’ve read today.

Honestly if they haven’t done it in the past 22 years, I’m not sure it’s ever coming. Not saying they’re a “good” corporation, just that it seems like they’ve been playing it fairly clean for a while.

Besides, Ubuntu is FOSS. If Canonical does do a rug pull, there’ll be a fork available for people to migrate from in approximately 10.3 milliseconds.

Not saying I like Ubuntu—I’m not a huge fan, honestly—just that this probably isn’t as much of a risk factor as it seems on the face of things.
