The verification fails #gamedev games developers as it requires fifty IDBM credits. We do not work on films, but are involved in the entertainment industry.
You cannot also be an entertainer and an activist at the same time.
Verification assists in stopping individuals like myself who are subject to harassment, false flagging and other issues where our identity being verified as true is important.
This system is elitist and does not serve the intended requirement of protecting us.
Having a tick shouldn't be for megastars. It should be for people who are real and can prove it.
Gender identity is the hard wired part of your brain that tells you what gender you are. Cis people aren't aware of theirs, as it matches their body and their day to day experience.
It isn't a preference or something you can change through therapy.
Because they cannot feel what it is like to have dissonance with gender identity, it makes the concept a little hard to grasp.
I find it easier to give the example of colorblindness.
A color blind person exists in a world where, say, red and green are the same thing. They can't tell them apart. This isn't a preference or them being difficult. They aren't crazy. They just can't tell them apart.
In Maya, you are time locked. Each edit you make to your model piles up history, which you need to delete to free up memory and sanity... but that means you are left with a collapsed model. It is a fucking pain in the ass.
Modifiers are applied ontop of your model, making changes like doing the symmetry, relaxing, triangulating, making tweaks to the geo and subdivision.
They are not time locked, and can be quickly moved around, toggled on and off, instanced and reordered.
