Nearby Share is a very apt name - it basically describes exactly what the entire point of it is. You can use it to quickly (and easily) share stuff between Android phones, regardless of maker. And starting today, you can use it to share files between Windows PCs and Android devices.
Maybe compared to a generation ago things are better, but over the past few years there has definitely been a ramp up in anti-trans rhetoric, both from the media and right wing politicians.
Bathroom bills, legislation against gender affirming care, even media and literature bans in the US. And in the UK the Tories are increasingly trying to single out trans people, (unsuccessfully) excluding them from bans on conversion therapy. Even the PM was recently recorded making anti-trans jokes.
Last year Yougov published data showing an overall decrease in support for trans people compared to 2018.
It is better than it was a long time ago, yes, but it's not better than it was more recently.
I think we are on the same page. I'm not trans myself, but I've definitely noticed increasing anti-trans sentiment amongst people I talk to. I agree that a lot of that is in reaction to increased media presence, but I also think that a lot of this is the typical pushing of the "us vs them" mentality that people in power find useful, it's just the people defined as "them" has shifted.
I'm still optimistic, but we need to be aware of these things, and push back against them when they crop up, otherwise that optimism will be in vain.
I'm a middle aged man with a family, two cats and a mortgage. I don't want to be having to fight for common decency to fellow humans, but increasingly feel like I'm being pushed to it. I'm tired, and I just want to potter about in my garden with a cup of tea.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you're having an "exciting" time. You've done a great job so far and I hope that the additional help you are receiving means that you might be able to take some time off in the near future, for your own sake.
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
I usually don't care about typos as long as the message gets across, but for some reason the too/to mix up really gets me riled up. I instinctively get cross and have to tell myself to chill tf out
