  • Of course, but OOP is typically about putting methods on classes, inheritance of behaviour etc.

    JS Objects aren’t typically used that way, they tend to be used as pure data containers. At least, that’s how we mostly use them.

    Occasionally, we’ll use objects to simplify passing multiple arguments including arrow functions, but I’d say that doesn’t really count unless the arrow function mutates the object it’s a part of.









  • I’ll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.

    The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans rights, spread misinformation or personally deny them a referral to get the treatment they need.

    Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.

    I don’t think most trans people complain about doctors mentioning what genitals or conditions they may have in 1-1 conversations.

    All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I’m not the right person to ask. It’s best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.


  • I thought it was fairly clear, but I’ll elaborate.

    If a trans person is discriminated against by their doctor, then having a mechanism to warn other trans people away from that doctor so they don’t waste their time or go through unpleasant experiences would be useful.

    Same can be said of therapists etc.

    To be honest we should probably have a way of publicly rating medical professionals in general, regardless of whether you are trans or not, but trans people probably need it more than the average person.


  • So much negativity in these comments.

    Having read the guidelines, I think they’re pretty reasonable.

    I’m sure it’s not perfect, but this could help people. A trans relative of mine has been mistreated by specific doctors, and being able to signal to others to stay away from these person could really help others.

    Right now, the worst that can happen is that someone is wrongly flagged and a small minority of people dislike them, but the good it can do is greater.







  • As someone who has used this app for at least 6 years, I am very sad to see this happen.

    I’m surprised they weren’t able to get away with it after the change in extensions a couple versions ago. By not shipping extensions that have copyrighted content that should have been enough, similar to how emulators, services like Plex and torrenting applications survive.

    It’s effectively just a comic / manga reader that can be used for piracy when the right extensions are added.

    Apparently that wasn’t enough, and I can’t blame open source devs for not wanting to start a legal battle with a profit-earning company.

    For now, the app does allow you to add external repository’s (list of extensions for various sources) that are still being updated, and I believe there are at least a few forks of the project that will survive for now.

    All I can say is great work to the dev team for sticking with us until now and I wish you luck in your future ventures.
