It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

This study in The Lancet found that cuts to US spending on PEPFAR, the program to deliver H.I.V. and AIDS relief abroad, could cost the lives of 500,000 children by 2030.

Half a million kids.

Kids.

Fundamentally, it's criticism declaring its autonomy. A well-written critique which lays out its case using all the tools of the trade, arriving at a logically coherent conclusion, should not be a priori refuted by an annoyed author taking five seconds of their precious time to say "no it isn't"
A lot of people still don't know what the fuck death of the author means and it drives me nuts, it's literary analysis 101. It's an essay on interpretation being distinct from the creator and has nothing to do with trying to excuse yourself for liking media by billionaire nazi whackos

Legally defining "biological sex" to be just whatever the doctor said when you were born rather than it referring to your actual, material biological sex as it exists today is like legally defining Pi to be 3

The term "pregnant people" INCLUDES women, it does not exclude them. Unless you think women aren't people?

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.
