Yes. Just checked again and was able to install and open it. Won't test any further because I don't want to register.

herd them back where they're wanted
Are they wanted? Men who get sucked into bizarre online cultures usually aren't just normal guys who tragically got corrupted by exposure to some electronic vice; they tend to be weird in a lot of other ways, too. Gooner culture probably just takes defective men who would never have amounted to much off the market.

they didn’t even try to make it available in Europe
Currently available in the German Google Play store, along with at least half a dozen copycats. Most of the latter are aimed at men, one is unisex.

The guy in the Bluesky video is Jeremy Hambly aka The Quartering. He started his Youtube career as a Magic: The Gathering nerd, got into some community drama, and pivoted into becoming an anti-SJW sloptuber. He's the dimestore Tim Pool. He once got attacked by a crossdresser for being a "nazi" and ran away. Right-leaning people who are aware of his existence neither find him agreeable nor scary -- they mostly see him as a fun punching bag. Popular lolcow streamers Kino Casino have mined Jeremy for content so much that they dominated Youtube searches for his name for a while. Last time I saw clips of him he was talking about how he shat his pants at Walmart.
Personally I don't think I would see him as aggressive even if I didn't know the backstory. At most he comes across as a bit erratic in that clip, but that's probably because he tries to keep the audience's attention while being a lazy slopmonger who just reads articles and tweets.

Jewishness in Nazi Germany wasn't a trait you opted in to; visible transness in America is. Many of the people claiming to be afraid of genocide could just wipe off the make-up, ditch the programmer socks, and become indistinguishable from the average dorky guy in less than five minutes. This isn't proof that social disapproval has no effect on their mental health; but how strong of a force can it really be when its victims make no effort to avoid it and instead choose to present themselves in ways that will inevitably attract more negative attention?

trans activists have already spent years being as maximally mean as possible to Kiwi Farms
My favorite part of the KF saga is how poorly it is going for the deplatformers. They can't even get rid of one guy who doesn't have a lot of money and has been banned from virtually everything that matters. And that's despite fawning mainstream coverage and years of unprecedented behind-the-scenes efforts, all the way up to getting Tier 1 ISPs involved.
Almost could make one a bit more optimistic about the future of the Internet.
KF has had an influx of TERF refugees some years ago. The tone of many trans threads has shifted from "Haha, look at this weirdo!" to wall-of-text rants about how this man in a bad wig is an insult to womanhood and a threat to bathrooms everywhere.
The trend has abated slightly after the site has been harder to reach for a while and Twitter has become more permissive, but calling KF "anti-trans" is somewhat justified.

the gay community doesn't care about such things or understand why anyone would
Gays aren't some isolated hunter-gatherer tribe. They understand the prevailing norms regarding public sexual behavior just fine. Without such an understanding, having sex in a Senate hearing room wouldn't even be appealing. It is only exciting because of its transgressive nature and the risks involved.

While there are many kinds of diversity that can be tolerated in a liberal environment, one that rejects the principle of liberalism itself is obviously logically incompatible with that environment.
What's the principle of liberalism? The only thing that comes to mind is the presumption of liberty, which broadly says that most of the time it is best to let people do what they want and that any coercion requires good reasons.
I don't think any group of any consequence in current Western politics rejects this presumption, they are just disagreeing what constitutes 'good reasons'.

a full 35 or 40% of major Western authors from the beginning to the present day must have been gay
Probably exaggerated because for at least half a century now there has been an academic and critical cottage industry devoted to finding gay subtext in everything. And given literary criticism's lack of rigor, people tend to find exactly what they are looking for.

If making hobbyist spaces aggressively pro-gay is a reaction to past abuse, wouldn't the people most in favor of this be older gay men? In my experience, the people most invested in this stuff either aren't gay at all or if they are, their age and class background makes it very unlikely they ever got fired or beaten up for it.

Isn't this just a case of individual decision makers having more to gain from impressing and staying on good terms with their peers than maximizing profits? Maybe that's not in the best interest of Amazon, but 'Amazon' doesn't make decisions.

Yes, this is a description of temporary withdrawal from the sensate material world in meditation, culminating in awakening. 'There is nothing further for this world' means that the goal of Buddhist practice has been reached, not that the practitioner intends to spend the rest of his life in some mental la-la land.

The sutta you quote is a Mahayana one. When it talks about an "eternally abiding... essential body" that's most likely a reference to the Mahayana concept of Buddha Nature, which has nothing to do with individual disassociation.
Vipassana as commonly understood today is a practice associated with Theravada Buddhism, which doesn't believe in Bhudda nature.

A complex taxonomy of who is a woman in what situation satisfies no one and makes everyone's life more difficult. Society should either go full TWAW or stop playing pretend.
Sure, all sorts of things have shaped sports as it exists today. But I think there's a really simple reason why women's sports exist and will continue to exist: women want to compete with each other on a relatively level playing field instead of getting literally and figuratively pummeled by men.
And sure, TRAs want policies that they think help trans people. But what one thinks helps trans people is tied to one's understanding of sex and gender. If one has a conventional understanding of sex as real, significant and immutable, then it is really easy to come to the conclusion that certain policies favoured by TRAs are disastrous for the public image of trans people because they make them look unreasonable and unfairly harm some "cis" people. Which suggests that the TRA view of sex/gender probably isn't the conventional view.

TRAs thinking that sex and gender are not distinct would just confirm Helen Joice's claims.
TRAs rejecting sex segregation as bad faith bigotry while holding that sex is real and immutable is possible, I guess. But then I would expect more of them to say things like "Yes, I am undeniably, immutably male, and I am woman". That's very much a minority position among them, as far as I know.

I’m still not clear on how prevalent this view of sex is
Would TRAs be happy if we renamed women's sports female sports and proceeded to exclude transwomen from female sports?

Look at her next to men. She only passes as a huge jacked guy in staged photos.

Trans and hentai are niche genres, so you have to specifically search for them to get the desired result. Searches for ordinary straight porn are scattered over dozens of less specific search terms.
-
Most porn is produced in Eastern Europe and the US, so white performers are the default. You'd only search for race if you want non-white.
-
User demographics are just a guess based on Google Analytics.

According to Rolling Stone the bag belonged to a woman (but they don't say how obvious that was):
Las Vegas’ 8 News Now reported on Thursday that a felony warrant has been issued for Brinton regarding a second incident of stolen luggage, this time at Harry Reid International Airport. Brinton is wanted on charges of grand larceny for items with a value between $1,200 and $5,000.
According to the declaration of warrant, which was reviewed by Rolling Stone, the theft took place in July of this year. The case was initially closed as law enforcement failed to identify Brinton, who was captured on CCTV footage removing a woman’s luggage from baggage claim. Following news reports of the incident in Minneapolis, the detective assigned to the case recognized Brinton.

In other bad news for Brinton, gay activists are starting to question his conversion therapy story:
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/12/sam-brintons-story-always-good-true/
The presence of various outgroups and a mechanism to punish them provided them with a lightning rod for their free-floating anger and an incentive to band together. Now that they are among themselves, they have to turn on each other if they want a good fight.
Yep, Germany. And it explicitly says "you can only [...] download content from the Play Store for your country."
