No post has ever made me want to be at a conference that I am not at more than this one.

Look, it was like that when I fount it! We are on a _wide_ range of C++ versions and some of them are less than a decade old. This is very compatible (wrong) code!

I feel that mocks have some good uses, but we have 100% been bitten by "we mock this call to respond with the response we expect when we make the call with the parameters we believe are correct" only for the real service to reject our call and we should have discovered this much earlier.

If _some_ trans women are permitted to use the women's facilities then they clearly aren't being provided as a single [as assigned at birth] sex space, so what's the justification (or grounds in law) for excluding other trans women? This makes absolutely no sense to me as a non-lawyer.
