      sorry for all the LGBT folk who follow me. i "live a gay life" but twitter dot com is for takes and all my gay "takes" are about database design and things, which i can yell about for hours. with apologies to @qntm, whom i refuse to subtweet, (cont)

      i wish we could just ignore the "treating men and women as separate data points entirely" thing, but i've ground up against that in the past, trying to put in family trees involving gay relationships. the CSV needed a father and a mother, and no, i couldn't really work around it.

      so i thought it was CLEARLY ridiculous that anyone would do that, until i came across it. My poor gay bubble was popped by heteronormative database design. But I'm also poly, and even @qntm's wonderful article about database design seemed to have some weird misapprehensions here.

      Now, I should mention at this point that the article is gone, in need of rewrites, so I can only assume this grievance has already been heard, but it treated non-transitive relationships as completely alien. Non-transitive meaning, uh,

      Alice and Bob are in a relationship with each other and Bob and Charlie are in a relationship with each other but Alice and Charlie are not. The article treated this as completely alien when this is... I don't know, it seems like a super normal poly setup to me.

      Trying to model all human relationships in a relational database would clearly be futile, the article was specifically about marriages

          unfortunately i live in the kind of weird queer bubble where i forget marriage exists as a specific kind of human relationship so i neglected to mention this. i wish this was a joke, honestly.
