Remember, just because someone objects to a minority being protected from harm, per the EHRC, does not mean you are allowed to characterise them as being bigoted

4.100 Examples of stereotypes in relation to religion or belief are that persons who hold or manifest certain gender-critical beliefs necessarily have negative attitudes towards trans people, or that persons who hold or manifest the belief that same-sex sexual activity is sinful necessarily have negative attitudes towards gay people. The judgment explains that: ‘it may be that some persons who hold / manifest such beliefs have such animus, but it is stereotyping to assume that all do.’ [footnote 32

I know a fair few people are starting to research possibly moving from the UK to RoI due to the hateful restrictions being rolled out. This is a really good recourse, diasporasupport.ie/returning-to... While rights are good and transphobia is low, healthcare is very hard to access.

There are a number of supports that are available to Irish citizens looking to return to Ireland to retire.

Civil servant transgender guidelines leak just dropped:

22. If you are transitioning, you should not feel obliged to share any details; you can simply inform colleagues that you are transitioning. You will need to be aware that some of your colleagues may not believe in transgender or gender identities and, if this is a philosophical belief, it is protected under the EA. All views should be expressed in an appropriate and respectful way.

63. Transgender employees should not use facilities for their affirmed gender which are designated as single-sex. The Department is seeking to increase the availability of unisex provision across its estate, but at some sites this may be limited. Where this is the case, interim facilities access arrangements (supported by site specific assessments) will need to be put in place so that there are adequate facilities for transgender employees.

13. You may not elect to use facilities of your affirmed gender which are designated as single-sex. Where provision of facilities is limited, interim facilities access arrangements may need to be put in place. Your line manager will work with you and the departmental Estates team to consider the options available within your workplace while any longer-term facilities provision is arranged.

Note: I'm not anti-death penalty. I mean, I do enjoy a good guillotine meme, so that'd be hypocritical of me. I just think that sort of punishment, if humans are going to utilize it at all, should be saved for people who commit war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity.

So yeah. If your country is going to execute people on the regular, I think you should be forced to watch it. I think your children should be forced to watch it. Maybe then people would think twice about their state murdering people.

I keep reminding myself of a quote by General Sherman and I'm going to misuse it here, but I think the sentiment still holds. “It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.”

I dunno, I think that if you're going to execute people, not only should the state be required to livestream it, but every citizen in the country, from age 5 and up, should be forced to watch it.

Two points I want to make about this: 1. Democrats should immediately threaten to deport Elon Musk and Melania Trump for *actual* immigration fraud once they retake power. Don't @ me about how we're not like them. Do politics. Make the threat. Force Republicans to react and defend their decision.

Just a reminder, the Irish government has used its time holding the EU presidency to introduce a proposal to weaken EU data privacy regulations. This measure would allow AI companies to scrap private information from hundreds of millions of EU citizens to use for their training models.

If you have a Trump supporter in your life, go out of your way to make their day worse today. Insult them. Harass them. Threaten them. Immiserate them. Do it unprovoked. Be ruthless and vicious. These are bad people, and they’re making our world worse and worse. They deserve to suffer. Do your part.

How many trans women's first experience of sexual abuse was at the hands of that physician? How many women didn't even know that they were experiencing abuse, because they "thought it was normal". I know that most of the women at that pizza party now DIY.

I and a dozen other Colorado trans women had a pizza party to celebrate the retirement of Dr Depaolo. He was the only Kaiser endocrinologist who was allowed to write hormones for trans women, and he would withhold renewing our prescriptions during check ups until after we allowed a "breast exam".

Silicon Valley has become a culture of sadistic dumbasses who long ago stopped seeing the elimination of jobs and industries as collateral damage and instead sees it as a metric of success. They don’t care if their product is actually making money, as long as it destroys livelihoods along the way.

Similarly, the world in which OpenAI keeps plagiarizing mathematicians’ work and “solving” the problems they were working on isn’t one where OpenAI solves our problems, it’s one where the field becomes nonviable until there’s no cutting edge work left to plagiarize. The AI *prevents* big advances.
