DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. 'Interactive Unified Portable Operating System') is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.
It's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).
Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.
The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.
An archive of the DEMOS source code can found here: https://github.com/bpr97050/DEMOS There's some interesting comments and mailing list archives in that repository as well. :)

Sometimes I look at cute boys and know they would make cuter girls.

I do this sometimes and get angry, if you are going to be cis and not have dysphoria the least you could do is not make a good girl
This is why gender shouldn't be assigned at birth.
It should be assigned at... Idk 14 or something. Forcefully. Decided by a trans council.
A friend and I were talking about this and I wonder if in the future when those kids are reading history books they're gonna be so confused about cis and trans and terms and figure that "so wait, cis is just like you picked your gender before puberty???"
I call this doing with gender what the anabaptists do with religion.

Everyone is a good girl if they want to be.
I got told one time that I'd be a cute girl if I was one and that did something to me. It's impressive how long I was able to hold out before realizing my transness
Same, comrade!
This isn't normal?
What’s a “normal?”
