This document discusses discrimination against transgender and transsexual individuals. It summarizes previous research studies that examined how coworkers react uncomfortably to gender transitions in the workplace and how peer dynamics can influence anger towards homosexuals. The author conducted a gender survey that showed society only considers two genders (male and female). The survey results demonstrated that even transgender individuals are expected to fit masculine or feminine roles, and difficulties conforming to these strict roles makes them more vulnerable to discrimination, as previous research on threats to gender identity found. The hypothesis that discrimination stems from recognizing only two genders, forcing transgender people into one of these roles, was supported.

The Search for Sexual Intimacy for Men with
Cerebral Palsy1
Russell P. Shuttleworth, Ph.D.2
Exploring accounts of the search for sexual intimacy for 14 men with cerebral
palsy revealed a range of issues and impediments and a complex intersubjec-
tive process in their search for a lover. Yet, despite an adverse sociocultural
context of disability and desirability, most of the men had experienced long-
term sexual relationships. The cultivation of several aspects of self and soci-
ety was noted as facilitating the possibility of their establishing sexual inti-
macy with others.
KEY WORDS: sexuality; cerebral palsy; disability studies; existential-phenomenology.
One of the major tasks set by the Disability Rights Movement is to work
for increased access to social contexts from which disabled people have pre-
viously been denied. Here, the social model of disability, in which socio-
cultural environments are seen as disabling, is the theoretical linchpin in a
powerful social movement. However, there is a phenomenological insight to
this model that is generally not recognized in academic discussion but which
nevertheless resonates existentially with our experience. In fact, from an exis-
tential-phenomenological point of view, access-obstruction is experienced by
the subject as a continuum of intention and felt sense. Buytendijk has pro-
posed that our different modes of feeling pleasant or unpleasant signify access
or obstruction to the intentional objects of our consciousness (1). From this
perspective, feeling sad, depressed, happy, joyful, hopeful, hopeless, angry,

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

2. Background Society rarely considers a “third gender” There are only males and females according to some The purpose of this study is to examine some of the reasons for discrimination against transgendered/transsexuals
3. Background “Do Workplace Gender Transitions Make Gender Trouble?” Study by Kristen Schilt and Catherine Connell Examined what happens when employees are introduced back into the work force after a gender transition Interviewed 28 transgendered/transsexual people in Los Angeles, California and Austin, Texas between 2003 and 2005 Found that many co-workers were uncomfortable sharing gender specific areas with the study participants such as bathrooms Participants were excluded from activities and topics that are gender specific as well after the operation such as menstruation with women
4. Background “What Motivates Hate Crimes Based on Sexual Orientation? Mediating Effects of Anger on Antigay Aggression” Study by Dominic Parrott and John Peterson 135 heterosexual male participants completed an interview to assess sexual prejudice, anger in response to a vignette depicting a nonerotic male, and past perpetration of antigay aggression Study found that peer dynamics was a leading cause in anger towards homosexuals Peers establish norms for masculinity or femininity in society for adolescents and those that stray from these ideals become victims of violence
5. Background Kimmel’s concept of “doing gender” must be considered because men and women are constantly trying to act a certain way that they believe exemplifies a man or woman It is when individuals are unable to completely imitate these roles of masculinity or femininity when violence occurs
6. Hypothesis Discrimination towards the "third gender" is a result of the combination of the masses only recognizing two genders and the transgendered individuals having to fit into one or the other.
7. Methods/Procedure Survey consisting of ten questions to understand certain opinions in society There were 82 participants Ages: 19-44 47 female, 35 male The questions were designed for participants to answer which gender they feel best fits the category
8. Methods/Procedure Gender Survey Please answer these questions as honest as possible with any gender that you feel best fits the category. There are no wrong answers and please do not change them once you have answered a question. It may seem strange to attach something specific to gender, but I guarantee this experiment is not to create stereotypes, but to gain a better understanding of societal phenomenon. 1. What is your age? 2. What is your sex/gender? 3. Which gender is more athletic? 4. Which gender is better suited to take care of the children? 5. Which gender would be the best at being a single parent that has to work as a firefighter and also make sure the kids are taken care of? 6. Which gender would be the best drag queen? 7. Which gender would be the best at teaching elementary kids? 8. Which gender would be the best role model for gay, lesbian, and/or transgendered teenagers? 9. Assuming that this would even happen, which gender would parents give less attention to? 10. Which gender would be the best college professor?
11. Results The purpose of this survey was to not determine if men are better at sports or women are better at taking care of children I wanted to show that society only considers two genders and the results show this because all of the answers were either male, female, or both For the answers that were both, I interpreted this as both men and women can fit the category I even included questions where putting transgendered would be a perfect option such as question 8
12. Conclusion The previous research and my own study support my hypothesis My results demonstrate that society only considers two genders Because of this, it is expected that even transgendered individuals fit either a masculine or feminine role Since it is too difficult for transgendered/transsexuals to completely conform to these roles, society is able to spot them easier The fact that they are not adopting a complete male or female role makes some individuals feel threatened similar to the Parrot and Peterson study Feeling as if one’s ideas about being a man or woman are threatened is a major reason violence towards the “third gender”
