I can't think of anything more oppressive then an a rigid definition of the term 'woman'. These people are truly deranged

This feels quite hollow when the court also decided they didn't need to hear from a single transgender person over the course of their case.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I don't want women to be legally defined. Any definition will be used to oppress and control us.

The concept of "sex-based rights" is one of the most insane things I've ever seen. You do not gain rights based on which sex you belong too. If you believe in equality, no sex is entitled to more rights than any other. We don't have "race-based rights" either. That would be apartheid.

J K stands for Jiant Kunt

Before anyone in NZ (looking at you in particular, NZ First politicians) decides they want to jump on the disappointing judgment on trans rights in the UK & say its should apply here:

The judgment relies on very specific statutory interactions which do not even close to exist in New Zealand law.

The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds.

Trans women are women.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

TERF = transgender exclusionary ratshit fascist

Not-a-lawyer-but

The immensely frustrating thing here is that this opinion hinges on the immutability of sex (to tie all trans people to our "birth sex") while also acknowledging the mutability of sex to justify the exclusion of transitioned men from single-sex spaces.

Degendering for everyone!

“Be sure to set me to ‘delicate,’ Alison. It’d be a shame to ruin that sweater, you know, in case it ever comes back in style.”

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Love your work!! Very proud.

I can see where that association would come, the terrifying orange hue is definitely in the same zone. The Bru has a taste all of its own, and is actually fab after and upset tummy, very sugary. See also epic hangovers.

Yes 😂 gotta feed the chin hair 🤣🤣

American product instructions are always fun, "add 3/8 cups of product to one half gallon of water" hauld on there Jebediah 'til I fire up the abacus

We’re making cheeseburgers for Thanksgiving this year.

No one really likes turkey that much. Cheeseburgers rock. And fuck it. There are no rules anymore.

We are all agents of chaos now.

The bad news: Many people don’t get enough iron in their diet.

The good news: One ounce of dark chocolate has 3.37 mg of iron

Ladies, that’s 5.5 ounces a day that you clearly need.

Sorry guys, you’ll get your daily allotment with 2.5.

Bluesky heard your criticism that its user base skewed too heavily toward the elder millennial demographic and compensated by adding ten million even older users

Have you ever tried one with Irn Bru? Quite possibly life changing...

I was a volunteer at the hikoi, at Waitangi Park. Not sure if it's been reported on any media but there was so much aroha - Muslims For Te Tiriti gave us hundreds of curry meals, and as I was leaving, the Cambodian community gave us over 1000 meals. Aroha before politics. THAT was the hikoi!

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉

We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

In Singapore with nothing specific to do for the first time in many years. Anywhere to go/see/eat (perhaps eat most especially) that I should know of?
