Quite an important bit of context on the Equality Act sex and gender ruling today (taken from the press summary rather than the judgment proper, as it’s much more succinct – but it flags the relevant pars in the judgment at the end):
![Protection from Discrimination
This interpretation of the EA 2010 does not remove protection from trans people, with or
without a GRC. Trans people are protected from discrimination on the ground of gender
reassignment. They are also able to invoke the provisions on direct discrimination and
harassment, and indirect discrimination on the basis of sex. In the light of case law interpreting
the relevant provisions, a trans woman can claim sex discrimination because she is perceived
to be a woman. A certificated sex reading is not required to give this protection [248]-[263].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iriguxga3a3ngc4ezfk56knk/bafkreieb4piyl2zwqzwhti5ucy6dca4shwxxegvhlgewvoajpnw2pwvxfu@jpeg)

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
