basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

#Speirgorm, we need to email about this, because it's really genuinely appallingly stupid and bad and at the moment Ireland's in support of it. #Ireland #IrishBluesky
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is
- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals
it needs to be stopped, post haste

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

You should stop using LLMs and generative “A.i.” This trash tech is a tool of fascism.
White House officials are preparing an executive order targeting tech companies with what they see as “woke” artificial-intelligence models, their latest effort to go after diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
White House Prepares Executive Order Targeting ‘Woke AI’<br>
The order would be one of several expected to be released outlining the president’s vision for winning the AI race with China.

Ireland has had "sELf iD" for 10 years now and not one single issue that the media, government and anti-trans movement predicted has come to pass. Not one.
If it works in Ireland why would it not work here? No one who opposes it can give a good answer, because the real answer is transphobia

Ten years ago, on this day 15 July, the Irish Oireachtas passed the Gender Recognition Act 2015 (An tAcht um Inscne a Aithint, 2015).
It was a piece of legislation that allowed me to live my life authentically & I'm forever grateful.
Despite what others may have you believe, the sky did not fall in.

how quickly we went from age verification for pornography sites, to social media, to search engines. a reminder that, yet again, it is essential to listen to sex workers when they raise concerns about how technology is being tested on them.

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

Et comment ces éléments sont en train de créer une culture de "l'image bizarre". #IAcrap
