Techrights guy just asserted that a trans women calling herself Linux was an attack on Linux because it was "associating it with groups that are internationally disliked" where he finally admitted that by "groups that are internationally disliked" he meant trans women

@mjg59 Okay, but that seems at least better than associating it with bigoted “tech rights” guys?

@mjg59 I’d argue that naming oneself *after* a known project might not be acceptable, independently of gender, cis/transness (can’t find the right word), romantic orientation, or being part of any group.Her identity as a trans woman should not matter as to whether she may call herself Linux.I think it is susceptible to cause confusion etc, so I’d argue no-one should call themselves Linux, but it’s not my place to decide, and in no case should the answer be no for her and yes to someone else.
