      It definitely fits into both as the law itself will redefine how we are allowed to use our technology and the political effect it has on the country as a whole.

          That doesn’t mean it’s any less tech for it, it’s going to affect the whole landscape of the internet.

          Technology can’t be so easily detached from politics. It’s not just about components and code, it’s also about how it’s used and what are the rules around it. There is a lot of politics even around something as basic as copying a file.

            I didn’t mean to imply it’s not also concerning tech. I think it would fit in both spheres. Just commenting on the whole “stop making trans people political” notion, like the issue isn’t and hasn’t been political the entire time.

              Ah, I see. That’s a complicated matter. Ultimately everything that relates to people’s lives is political, but many people don’t even think of matters as political unless they are having issues regarding their rights.

              I don’t think that response is accurate, but it’s a way to convey that trans people’s rights should be a given, just as cis people’s rights are. Most people don’t think of their cisness as political, even though it is.

        I specifically made a new account on an instance that allows downvoting just for transphobes.
