Government: cd / && rg -l trans | xargs rm -f

I'm sure it'll go well.

Someone tell them microphones can be described as a transducer, maybe they'll quieten down. I guess all combustion engines , furnaces and motors / generators are too technically.

Make america amish again

they really implemented a regex filter on scientific papers ? lol that's beyond idiocy

but hey at least the voters identify with the main idiot in charge

finally a proper use case for this saying

PC culture gone mad

Transformer-coupled transimpedance transistor amplifiers are also verboten.

These are the same people that would've supported the trans-atlantic slave trade.

"Only about 40% of the Cruz woke science database is woke science" - (a critique by somebody who's anti-woke.)

Fascism is incredibly dangerous and destructive, but it's also SO fucking stupid.

So I learned something yesterday, from someone who is in the world of research.

The trope about researchers spending most of their time applying for grants is no joke. Universities don't pay researchers; the researchers get paid from the grant money they receive. If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that's it.

So when federal grants get halted, there's a whole bunch of people who do important research basically put out of work immediately. The kicker is that a fair amount of the research being funded is ongoing research, where if you just "stop doing it," all the previous work is ruined. Because there's a lot of things you can't just stop, put on a shelf, and restart later.

Little t's war on universities is more serious than you might think.

Cis and trans are also very commonly used to describe bonds in chemistry. Cis bonds are both on the same side, trans bonds point in opposite directions (think trans-fats). That's a rudimentary explanation but the point is cis and trans have been used in the sciences long before trans people were discussed.

So silly to lose grants over, even if the research was actually about cis and trans humans.

dumbfucks are using regex improperly.

they're using /.*(trans).*/ instead of /\s{1,}(trans)[- (sexual|[fe]*male)]*\s{1,}/

gack. I used to be in microbiology. This will decimate fields doing some amazing things right now.

Wait till they find out all their big trucks have transmissions.

The government AI got confused

People are losing research grants for using the words "female" and "woman" too. Not a single thought went into this list.

Can relate: I took my car in to get the manual transmission serviced and now I'm all woke.

Time to complain on truth social to Donald.
Why is my deal proposal not answered which was send in a mail with subject: "Transactional relationship improvement by affirmation of 100 million dollars to the expression program of the Trump foundation"

This is not really "mildly infuriating" and you should make the link point to the article, not to a screenshot from it.

Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.

This is more than mildly infuriating imo...
