and since criminalizing masculinity is a goal of feminism

This is factually incorrect.

Feminism is about equality and freedom of choice for women. Feminists in the real world are everyone who supports this, whether they apply the label to themselves or not.

You vehemently perpetuating false information is part of why some people think feminism is bad. Stop.

I wonder if using the word taxi, instead of taximeter cabriolet, will prompt a ban.

Yes. There is a firefox extension called Chameleon that does this.

It's tough to write most anything online because the audience could be anyone and the writer should take that into account. I suspect that this person was writing for a good-faith, academic audience.

Musk is plenty awful for many valid reasons; no need to body shame people for having a small penis.

Ricky Gervais is transphobic garbage.

This article comes across as having anti-trans bias.

State laws restricting hormones for transgender people allow continued genital surgeries on intersex infants.

Even if not the intent, this can come across as saying that neither hormones nor genital surgeries should be allowed.

Although some think that transgender people can choose their identity

You can't make a statement like this and not refute it. Not refuting it implies that the statement has legitimacy. Trans people do not choose to be trans; they choose to transition (which for many is really a choice between transition or suicide). People who are not trans constantly conflate this fact and see being 'trans' and 'transitioning' as the same thing. They are not the same thing.

Why would laws prohibit puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries for a small number of transgender adolescents, with patient and parent consent, but allow genital surgeries on many more intersex infants, without patient consent?

This apparent contradiction can be resolved if the primary goal is not to protect children, but instead to enforce the widespread (but false) idea that biological sex is strictly binary—that everyone is simply female or male. Intersex infants with atypical genitals are surgically altered to make them fit better into either the female or male category, while transgender and nonbinary adolescents are prohibited from altering their bodies away from one of these two categories.

This is the only trans-supportive part of the article. The article is about intersex people, but the rest of the article seems to highlight and fight for intersex people while undermining trans people, even though intersex and trans people are so often intertwined.

In short, laws and regulations promoted as preventing sex change in children and preventing boys and men from competing in girls’ and women’s sports have instead encouraged the continuation of surgeries on infants’ bodies to make them look more typically female or male and destroyed the athletic careers and lives of many intersex women.

Again, this can be read as implying that it's okay for the law to restrict trans people's bodies as long as it doesn't restrict intersex people's bodies. This sentence should have been followed up with stating that neither is okay and the law doesn't respect medical science, best medical practices, or current medical guidelines.

That's really odd. I don't know what else to check.

I hope you are able to figure it out!

I have a Steam Deck OLED and my Freetube uses the whole screen. Freetube v0.23.1 beta and SteamOS version 3.6.20

It might be the way you have Freetube installed. From Steam game mode, go to Freetube, then Properties, then Shortcut. This is what I have:

Target:

“/usr/bin/flatpak”

Start In:

/usr/bin

Launch Options:

run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@

I am not using any specific compatibility mode.

There is a problem though where the mouse pointer cannot select anything more than about halfway down the screen. To get around this, I have the controller config set as follows:

  • Right touchpad: mouse
  • L2 & R2: right and left mouse buttons
  • D-pad: arrow keys
  • Left joystick - left: shift+tab
  • Left joystick - right: tab
  • Y: on-screen keyboard
  • A: Enter

This will let you scroll with the d-pad, tab around, use keyboard, and select things with Enter.

I hope this helps.
