British press moving from "people with dsd" to straight up "dsd X" is one of these things where they've somehow managed to land on the most dehumanizing possible way of talking about intersex while pretending intersex is some kind of slur.

JFK conspiracies mostly come from how shady the CIA was about the report more than probably anything real tbh (same way 9/11 conspiracy theories would probably have gotten way less traction if it hadn't been used as the casus belli for two unrelated wars and a whole host of human rights violations)

eh, they do actually but in sports it's less of a thing because it's not exactly as easy even though the trans person who came closest to qualifying for olympics was a trans man.

Almost everything gender segregated in the modern world came about because of men being unhappy to have to compete with women (hell, the first gender segregated restrooms were due to men complaining about women studying in medical schools)

This is personal but: I am not a person with a DSD and I am most definitely not *a DSD*, that terminology is garbage (and originates from Dreger's weird eugenics) and I doubt a lot of intersex people are particularly keen on it.

Have fun losing because you decided that some people's civil rights were actually a luxury belief.

People talk about how Schumer makes no sense as a leader because he's clearly a vacuum of leadership, but Durbin being the party's senate whip is probably even more puzzling.

I mean it's also obvious already that with Starfield, a game I actually gave enough of a chance that I have mods on the nexus for it.

The "is destined" reading of Marx comes from Kautsky and co but the fact is no system is permanent so if you want to see the bad version just let the oligarchs (sorry, titans of industry) keep doing what they're doing.

Even if it were just because of women, it's a couple steps up from most men running scared of a woman who can hold her own intellectually.

Look, he could speak two words of spanish. No one who speaks spanish could ever be evil.

It took me my third restart before I even realized the protectorate guards at the Vox hum songs from their faction radio

FWIW France is technically bicameral but also the senate has very little power and the national assembly pretty much trumps the senate when they're not aligned.

It's still fascinating just how much power the framers gave the upper chamber at a time when the process of gelding the house of lords had already started.

"Gavin Newsom is the president's minder" is a hell of a mixed message.

It's still basically social democrats for a lot of countries (including Labour and the weird left unity coalitions of the french 4th)

I'd note that Argentina had more or less open borders under a fascist regime so it's not exactly much more meaningful

The christian "left" loves to not own their churches' shit.
