Part of a ruling in a discrimination lawsuit against a transphobic school trustee.  

"Calling transness β€œgender ideology” allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness. It allows them to say, as Mr. Neufeld did in his statements as well as at the hearing of this complaint, that they are not attacking human beings. They are simply opposing a set of ideas. But behind this insidious veneer is the proposition that transness is not real. Such phrasing can make it easier to ignore that trans people are human beings. Referring to β€œgender ideology” or β€œtransgenderism” – β€œ-ism” denoting a belief or ideology such as capitalism or communism – pushes the idea that trans people have an agenda rather than being just another demographic group. As this decision illustrates, such terms can create the conditions for discrimination and hatred to flourish."

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel is an avowed gun lobby supporter. CPC MP Cheryl Gallant did not join her community in mourning the triple femicides in '15 because she didn't want to piss off the gun lobby.

There are people sitting in the House right now who support the nonsense David lists below.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

Please check on the trans people in your life today.

The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.

Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.

We can’t let them get away with it.

Trans rights are human rights.

Trans ideology or gender ideology are not a real thing.

These are transphobic and homophobic dog whistles.

If you see anyone using these phrases. Confront them, especially if you’re cis gendered and straight.

Stalking is not romantic ❌
Obsession is not romantic ❌
Persistence is not romantic ❌

True romance is built on consent, respect and trust - not intimidation and fear.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.

It’s weird how, long as they are, the Epstein Files feel like a quick synopsis of, pretty much, forever.
This is excellent.

The colonial imperialist west shouldn’t be forgiven for a lot of things, and the crimes against Haiti and her people are one of them.
