Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

A decade ago trans people warned this would happen.
The “gender-critical” transphobes have opened the door to a much wider attack on women’s rights, including on safe and legal abortion, birth control…

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both)
this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months.
this is an existential threat to fascists.

This is followed by the BBC highlighting only parts of the Tribunal ruling where the disciplinary procedure was flawed, while completely omitting that the rest of the claim was dismissed and all points regarding the lawfulness of a trans-inclusive workplace toilet.

My thread earlier focused on the discussion re. FWS - but I just want to draw this out really explicitly:
The press absolutely monstered Dr Beth Upton in the most appalling way – only for the Tribunal to find that Beth had done nothing wrong, but that Sandie Peggie had harassed her.

Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".

Read the ruling and you'll find that the tribunal found Beth Upton to be calm and largely credible, and they accepted her account of the 2023 incident concluding that Peggie had deliberately engineered a confrontation, and had, in fact, harassed Upton.
There were no other complaints.

This is also why several western states are the shapes they are - There was a fight prior to the Civil War where both pro- and anti-slavery sides were adding new states to the Union in equal numbers (to keep the Senate balanced), so sliced up territories to fit the compromise lines they'd made up.
The scars of slavery really are scarred into the very face of America isn't it

This was obvious from the moment it was announced, but still worth mentioning. The genocide never ended.
The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..

The alpha wolf concept was debunked by the very guy who coined it because he realized that wolves in the wild are extremely communal and defer to parents for guidance. The “alpha” behavior was observed in captivity and was a terrified and violent male lashing out to feel some sort of control.
