Thinking about the selling point of "AI" supposedly "freeing up time" to do important things. Beyond devaluing the tasks that we can supposedly offload to software systems, it occurs to me that this is kind of opposite of mindfulness/being in the moment. >>

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling. It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t. If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.

Transmedicalism is and has always been an ideology normalising/validating medical authority over trans bodies against trans selves, nothing more or less. It emerged out of psychiatrists recruiting trans people willing to collude through group therapy scenarios with picking out "bad" trans people.

If I'm honest. The reason why I think gender critical belief was allowed to become a protected belief is that it is the default belief of the patriarchal cisgender citizen. And one of the reasons why it shouldn't be protected is default beliefs (ie prejudices) have plenty of protection already.

It's a massive step in removing legal recognition of trans identities. It's rendering the protected characteristic of gender reassignment effectively meaningless. The effect will be toilet / changing room policing by services who wish to to / feel they must enforce it.
