New from me: LinkedIn quietly removed references to deadnaming and misgendering from its hateful content policy this week. The company says it's underlying rules have not changed but advocates say it's part of a trend to loosen rules meant to protect vulnerable users.

Neighbourhood curmudgeon.

Are you asking for legal advice? Or moral support?

Great news. Such a pity Australia was not be a leader on this... a very great shame, in fact.

Pete Buttigieg weighs in on ‘fairness’ of transgender kids playing girls’ sports He said he rejected blanket policies about trans participation in sports.

I know he wants to be the president or whatever but if he doesn’t think gay men in same-sex marriages with adopted kids are the very next cab off the rank for Trump’s people… good luck? www.advocate.com/news/pete-bu...
