I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Some of you may know that my grandfather was fired from his job as a school teacher in Philadelphia because he was a communist and wouldn't name names. So he sued the school district, it went to the Supreme Court, he lost ultimately. I just found some of his typewritten briefs. What a find!

Gender critical campaigners are unable to operate within the member democracy of their trade unions, and so have to rely on wealthy donors for lawfare, in the hope that the UK judiciary will stand against human rights and democracy.

while this is objectively true, i'd question why it makes the point seem any more convincing that it may ALSO affect cis people surely trans women's fear and struggle should be reason enough to challenge transmisogyny, without having to use occasional MISPLACED harassment to drive the point home?

Yes, and not only trans women, but at this stage of this TERF-generated hysteria, any woman who doesn’t conform to some 1960s idea of how a woman should look and dress and behave. Too masculine? Too sporty? Too long nose? Expect to be accused of being a man (as opposed to a lesbian, like earlier).

Today, on Facebook, a lot of people are frightened or offended by the word cis. It’s a thing we deal with a lot, and where we feel the question is genuine, we will answer. So often the question is disingenuous though, or comes from a clearly fake profile, which means it’s a hide, block or report 🤷‍♀️

AI techbro syndicate looking shady as fuck to nobody's surprise www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Just one day earlier, New York University mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster published findings on a related problem with Levent Alpöge, a researcher at OpenAI’s archrival Anthropic (although Alpöge was not, here, working on behalf of his employer). Buckmaster said he contacted OpenAI after learning the company had become aware of their progress, to ask when it began working on the problem and what data its model had been trained on. The conversation, he said, quickly turned sour, with an OpenAI researcher asking him, “Why would you ruin your career?” when he said he would go public with what happened. When he asked why going public would ruin his career, Buckmaster said he received the following reply: “If you don’t want me to be nice, then I don’t have to be nice.”

The mathematicians, Tristan Buckmaster & Levent Alpöge had also used AI to advance their work but when OpenAI learned of the rumor they went ahead and tried to solve it themselves to beat them, it also offered Tristan an opportunity to publish if he left off Alpoge because he works at anthropic.
