What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

I cannot believe we are back in the world of "cultural relativity" when we are talking about child abuse. www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar... Last week I was hearing direct from African women about the work they are doing on the ground to end FGM. Listen to African Women!

Criticism of FGM based on ‘western sensationalism’, say academics
The authors of an article in the British Medical Journal proposed replacing ‘female genital mutilation’ with ‘female genital practices’ to avoid stigmatisation

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

I don't think women saying to other women 'excuse me this is the ladies' if they are not sure, which is usually resolved as soon as the woman opens her mouth, is a massive human rights violation that means we have to put men in women's prisons no.

The bit where you claim a person's sex is changed for all purposes in law. In the GRA itself there are exceptions (mostly benefiting males, btw) plus there's S9(3) that disapplies S9(1) where that's necessary to achieve the purpose of "another enactment"(eg the EA 2010)

The ability to sex other members of the species homo sapiens with our eyeholes. It's something animals can do, and the idea we are the only species that can't do it is egregious human exeptionalism. As I repeatedly have said, humans can distinguish the sex of other humans

We are aware that many of you seem to believe that humans do not have the capacity to recognise the sex of other humans without gender cues. We genuinely have a really really hard time understanding how you believe this to be true. None of us are particularly worried about this alleged indignity

You deleted because that “missed nuance” made the headline and intro defamatory, along with your earlier post sharing it. I’m sure you were also warned that you needed to draw attention to the correction - downplaying the misrepresentation as a nuance nixes the benefit of doing so.

The SC ruling means that it is a point of law that they didn't exist before. Your presentation of the comments was staggeringly dishonest. The trans rights movement attempted to arrogate themselves rights they had not been granted in law by disseminating a false interpretation of the law.

Stumbled on this by Octavia Randolph on how women enjoyed more rights in Anglo Saxon than Victorian England. It hit home. Because it reminds me that feminism is never done & won. We resist, we move forwards, the backlash pushes back, we resist again... we never give up. octavia.net/womens-right...

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.
