Reminder, the SC didn't rule that trans people had to be excluded from gender segregated things, only that they could. Labour doesn't have to do this, they're choosing to, and even if they did, they're the fucking government. What is the point of an elective dictatorship if the party of government is going to be so unwilling to actually change anything?
Normally this should be removed under the "We're not YPTB" rule, but as this is a new situation I'll allow this thread to act as a megathread. New posts about this will be removed, so post any new memes here.
TERFs don't want trans people using any toilet. TERFs want to push trans people out of public life, and ideally to stop existing all together, by making existing in it as difficult as possible.
“So we pointed out, secondly, that this claim was based on entirely unfounded speculation, which also ignored factors that might result in lengthening the lives of Gazans, given the public health situation existing in Gaza prior to the war, including the extent of obesity. These factors include the possible reduction in the availability of confectionery and cigarettes.
What a ghoulish thing to say, really speaks to how nasty this man is.
I use the term woman and you knew exactly what I meant
I didn't actually, I wrote that to probe out what you actually meant because I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
A blonde woman is a description of a woman’s hair colour and you know this.
And trans/cis is a descriptions of whether a woman was assigned female at birth or not. Woman is not synonymous with cis woman.
They have different names, which you yourself, use for a reason.
You give them different names, I'm using adjectives because the distinction matters in this context.
‘adult human female’ is not a dog whistle. It’s a legal and common-sense definition
It really isn't. When you meet someone irl, you brain doesn't decide if it thinks they are a man or woman based on their chromosomes or some bioessentialist bs, it does it based of social ques because man/woman are social categories.
I am not denying the legitimacy of transwomen [sic]; nor is Keir.
But also:
This is exactly the same as saying transwomen [sic] are not women, because they are not. They are transwomen [sic].
Should a transwoman have the same rights and respect as a woman? Absolutely. Are they the same? No, they are not.
'As a woman', a trans woman is a woman, different from a cis woman sure, but still a woman. This statement is fairly absurd if you substitute trans with another adjective, like is a blonde woman different from a woman?
Kier’s words are still not transphobia. There is no fear, dislike, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or violence in his statement.
The prejudice is denying the legitimacy of trans women as women. 'Adult human female' is a dog whistle for 'not trans', so by asserting that a woman is 'an adult female' he's saying trans women aren't women (and that trans men aren't men).
This is not huge. He is literally saying what the law says, which is exactly what you expect a prime minister to do.
Damn, if only the PM had the power to get the law changed.
The PM declined to repeat his previous statement "transwomen are women," instead asserting: "A woman is an adult female - the court has made that absolutely clear."
This is transphobia, seriously listen to him weasel out of it. He was asked if trans woman were women in general, not specifically for the purposes of the Equalities Act.
Just so we're clear, what this crawler does is go through all servers that use ActivityPub known to it, and congregate that data to a list of known services (Lemmy, Mastodon, Piefed etc.). How is does that is by querying a standardised end point to get the instance info (.well-known/nodeinfo which will then point to a different path to get the actual info).
For instance, here's what it will collect for feddit.uk:
The important stat here is the localPosts, which is all the posts made by local users in any community, local or remote. It does not include posts by users from remote instances made in local communities. You can also see this data on the instance sidebar in lemmy-ui.
lemmy.zip going down will only reduce aggregated stats for total posts by 47,280, as that's what they report for their localPosts.
