Tråd om hvorfor kromosomer er en dårlig måde at vurdere køn på og hvorfor vi bør lytte til folk, når de erklære de har problemer med at identificere sig med deres krop og dens køn. Vi mennesker er meget kompliceret og vi lærer stadig at vi har langt endnu for fuldt at forstå vores egen biologi.
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
It was 1986. Reagan begged Congress to give $100M to the Contras, a right-wing paramilitary. Then he struck Libya. Reagan tried to link the two interventions, to justify it all. And he found that language in a book by a young diplomat: Benjamin Netanyahu.

The GOP meltdown over Dr. Abdul Elsayed's Senate run has me wondering: are Muslims in the US (about 1% of the population) that powerful or (the more likely expalnation) every accusation by these racist, fascist, Islamophic fucks a confession of their white Christian nationalism.
UK corpos have been pushing this exact line since 1500 and the colonial corporations. Where there were literal parliamentary debates how the best governance was corporate governance.
Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO
From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds.
No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.
“The perception that promises can subsequently be revisited by a political establishment removed from the realities of working communities has left lasting scars”, writes Labour MP @melanieonnmp.bsky.social

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.
If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.
This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.
I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.
I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this
A Brazilian electoral court ordered the arrest of Salvador transport chief Pablo Souza for obstructing voting by keeping 75 buses off the streets during the presidential runoff, potentially preventing thousands of voters from reaching polling stations.
If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...
Senate Democrats posted this the same day Josh Turek released the worst anti-trans ad of the cycle.
Meanwhile, DCCC released their own anti-trans ad last week in South Carolina.
Hvis du ikke hører så meget om Frankrig i dag, så er det måske fordi demonstrationerne foregår relativt fredeligt indtil videre.
Ikke desto mindre: 110.000 er på gaden i Paris ifølge myndighederne.
En tanke: Måske vi i #dkmedier også skulle dække de fredelige demonstrationer?
Politikere må gerne være kristne. Men der er ikke meget næstekærlighed i at bruge kristendommen som et identitetspolitisk våben mod muslimer.

Macron is an arsonist who has been lighting fires for ten years while pretending he is the best person to prevent them
You cannot constantly embolden the far right and then pretend you care when the far right does what the far right does
One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵
Macron kalder skyderi i Frankrig for racistisk terrorangreb

Er racistisk terrorangreb, er hvad det er.
Sådan noget smitter, desværre.
Stakkels dem der blev ramt.
A year ago today, for the third straight week, the Department of Justice went before the same grand jury to seek a felony indictment of me and the other five members of the Broadview Six.

there’s a ton of important detail in this first interview of Ilhan Omar since the homeland security raid on her house, including something she says almost in passing—she and her family have to move now, because her address was made public, and they receive too many death threats to stay there now
On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words.
When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily."

If you hear chatter about the “Red-Green Alliance” or “Islamo-leftism” it’s probably linked to right-wing bullshit pumped out by French fascists who needed to abandon their antisemitism conspiracy theory in order to win over centrist voters with a more acceptable form of bigotry.
