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.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

RAW VIDEO: Woman sets fire to warehouse after canceled sale to ICE; Local leaders react KMBC was reporting on the cancellation of the sale of a KC warehouse, reportedly for an ICE detention facility, when a woman walked up and set it on fire.

my white ladies, it’s time to go read about the history of fire, fire investigation, arson and fire safety if we’re doing this. Because 3 minutes to get Baby’s First Accelerant Fire going is just gonna get a felony charge.

Glad she’s still unknown.

Said it before, will say it again: can't recommend this (and it's predecessor) enough. Especially in the current world.

Also, go get the Jetstream/Afro Puffs books, too. Unless you hate having fun.

Additionally: admitting you were wrong is not moral failing.

They are, sadly, huge scabs

Been out a month. No records broken, no medias blitzed. But based on what I'm hearing... it's doing what it needed to do.

So, how's the neovag working out?

Well, mostly good. Except for the internal scarring that has become my own worst nightmare.

Lemme talk all flowery about it here: gofund.me/74494d4f

Long story short? Procedure on 11/4 to fix the scarring.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.

It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social I'm running for a school board position in Lethbridge for the first time too!!!

This looks good as hell and you should check it out, it's like if Far Cry: Blood Dragon were gay (laudatory)

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

you are actually allowed to judge people by the content of their character!

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato
