Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

That portion is anecdotal. These stories come from either before there were ethics guidelines in psychology so people were studying their own children, or reviews of child abuse cases where the parent was forcing a different identity on their children. This is not something that is possible to (ethically) run an empirical study on, unfortunately.

I was actually repeating what was said in a video I watched yesterday so I went to look at their sources - here is a relevant study that supports this conclusion - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1743609515339060

However while looking it up in google scholar I did find another study that concluded the opposite, that there’s no significant difference between identical and fraternal twins. That study is here. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-17749-0

So it’s possible that I was misinformed.

As a bonus, here’s an interesting analysis about what even is gender and gender identity in an academic setting. https://academic.oup.com/analysis/advance-article/doi/10.1093/analys/anad027/7204699

Gender expression and gender stereotypes are societal constructs. A person’s sense of their own gender is (probably) not. There have been many times where people have tried to raise their child as a different gender than the child was assigned at birth, and the child 99% of the time identifies with the gender assigned at birth, at the same rate as the general cisgender population. There have also been studies of identical twins where if one twin is trans, the other twin often is as well, at a much higher rate than fraternal twins.

There is a genetic component and a constructed component to gender.

Edit: wording.

Edit 2: See my comment below with sources on the twins study - it’s possible I was misinformed on this. The results of studies are mixed.

If you’re into gw2 specifically, there seem to be 3 communities (two active and one basically dead I think) in the fediverse -

Are they buffing base skyscale movement speed? Because that’s the use case for the raptor, it’s faster than skyscale over flat surfaces.

Only use my springer gets nowadays is when a boss has a CC bar to break at the start of a fight, eg matriarch.

This is probably better suited to a kbin magazine than a lemmy community 😉

The main dev was harrassed off of the project, basically. He said he passed the source code on and it should be coming back to test flight under a different link soon, theoretically.

Thank you! I added that to my OP.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the casing with hashtags, I’ll be sure to be mindful of that from now on.

Thank you!

If you’re transcribing text, transcribe all of the text, including repeated names.

It’s better to have alt text in the comment than to have no alt text at all :)

I think they were clarifying whether image posts (topics that are an image) could use that, and they cannot. Only inline images can.

Ooh good callout, I wasn’t aware of that.

On that note, the developer of the iOS lemmy app mlem has said that he’s focusing on blind accessibility every step of the process during development and will be hiring accesibility consultants to make sure he gets it right.

Plus, they made it so only non-commercial accessibility apps could use the API for free. So basically, reddit is saying: you can do our job for us and fix the shit we should have fixed on our end over 8 years ago, but you can’t get paid for it.

Most blind iOS redditors were using Apollo I believe.

Thanks for this!

Florida was a swing state until very recently.
