The Orville is a gem. I think it helped kick other Star Trek back into shape we had a lot of slop for a while there

Depends on the person but a lot of trans people consider it offensive. Transgender is more of a blanket term and transsexual usually relates to surgical changes. For instance I’m transgender because of my internal feelings and desire for specific social interactions but I also consider myself transsexual because of the surgeries I’ve had (but 99% of the time will just say I’m transgender because it’s a lot easier than going into all this). Transsexual was used as a blanket term in a way that doesn’t vibe with a lot of trans people and was/is used as a slur, and more recently it has found a place with truscum/transmedicalist types furthering it’s problematic nature

I used to work for a university trying to modernize how people got student and financial data. Over half my work was playing politics rooting out people who refused to change and going above their head. We had one guy who didn’t want to update a script on his end to include the bare minimum amount of ‘security’: a hard coded plain text password. It took me months and I had to go to his office to update his script and he complained about it the entire four minutes it took
