What are you doing in everyday situations to make it real uncomfortable for other men to say misogynist stuff? what have you done to learn what everyday misogyny actually looks like? because if you say you don’t encounter it, you’re either lying or have chosen not to learn to see it

This much for academia being somehow above or outside the war: this is the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, and these are our colleagues, engaged in the same work we do. This is also late punishment for the instrumental role the Academy played in the late 1980s in the struggle for independence.

Mr. Mask, you are confused. the only creatures in bunny suits threatening field workers would be actual bunnies. to charge actual bunnies with wearing "bunny suits" is redundant.
Dr. Masked Defender @MaskedDefender • 2h
LOL. You all think field workers and meat plant workers and hotel maids are OVERPAID in America and we should bring in 50 million migrants to lower their wages. Shame on you.

Klar, es gibt einen nicht unwesentlichen Anteil an materiellen Erwägungen, die zu solchen Wahlergebnissen führen. Wenn aber 91 % der AfD Wähler sagen, die „Migration“ sei Motivation ihrer Wahl gewesen, muss man den Rassismus der Wählerschaft einfach auch mal uneingeschränkt ernst nehmen.

It’s incredible how clearly trans people *predicted,* over and over again, the role we would play as primary targets of fascism and the right, for that to still be so dismissed and devalued by the bulk of cis politics. Always with the implication that they know better how systemic transphobia works.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

If trans people come from across the world to London, and service providers are still constrained by the current EHRC guidance which Labour are implementing, those trans people may be asked to leave premises for using the bathroom according to their gender identity. Does that seem welcoming?
