Right. I got that part.

But he *very explicitly* said: “Only immutable characteristics are protected.” Which simply isn’t true. And that very much seemed to be the crux of his reply? We can argue about whether gender identity is
immutable or not. But it doesn’t matter when it comes to protection.

What is your claim then? (Not sure if that was in a different part of the thread, but I don’t see it here?)
December 7, 2024 at 8:47 AM
That is incorrect. Non-immutable characteristics (e.g. religion) can most definitely be protected.

I strongly disagree with most of what Jesse says, and I don’t know what your relation to him is (journalistically speaking 😅) but I’m going to follow you just to spite the follow police.

Would still love to know your thoughts on this!

Serious question then, Colin: are there any gendered spaces left that trans people are allowed to use, in your opinion?

Specifically about bathrooms: don’t you think shoving trans men into women’s bathrooms (and vice versa) will cause a lot more problems than it solves?

What?? I was talking about the people who were rude towards you! Seriously, I don’t know why you would assume the exact opposite!?

I just noticed your OP on this thread. Fwiw I don’t think it’s right to be so aggressively rude out of the blue, no matter who it is.

Anyways, I could go on, but in short I think there is a reasonable middle ground, and I am wondering if that is what you are shooting for, or if instead you want to make our lives miserable?

I’ll note that I’m onboard with the recent “no male puberty” rules that most sports associations have adopted. A fair compromise imo.

As for prisons, obviously rape/SA committers, especially those who “discover they are trans” after having been arrested, should never be allowed to transfer.

Haha! No, I’m a complete n00b when it comes to setting up my own biochemistry lab. 😁 But it sounds like fun!

Now, where *does* one find second hand dna sequencers these days?
November 18, 2024 at 2:20 PM
Dang! Now I’m going to have to find space for this next to all our other tools! 😅

If you like something, don’t just like it, retweet it. Otherwise nobody sees it. Easiest way to find people is go through other’s followers lists. Also, I have spent the last two weeks trying to introduce everybody I know from before on my timeline, so you might find people there.

I was wondering which De Villepin this was about. Completely forgot about Dominique 😁

Do you think they set it based on your tweets/likes? Or was it just “the default” for lack of an explicit selection? If the former I would love the see the algorithm that determines this! 😂
