Okay, so like. Everyone? Even progressives, allies, cis queer people, and yes, trans people treat trans women as simply men-in-drag and consider the inclusion of trans women in women's spaces to be a kind of wedge into gender-neutrality.
It's pervasive!

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

Ludicrous for the Guardian to badge 'single sex spaces' a key test facing Starmer. It's neither a key test (polling shows it's a voting issue for almost no-one) nor a test for Starmer (it falls to judges to try and work out the disgraceful Supreme Court meant). Still, gotta stir the culture war pot.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people.
It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace.

every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

So: *yes* there is a direct line we draw from chess variants to Kriegsspiel to wargaming & D&D.
But also *yes* women cross-dressing as satyrs, or applying complex rules to dance games (as in 19th C. shtetls), were also engaged in story-and-rule-based role-play worthy of our analysis.

In other words, D&D-like imaginative play became possible during certain periods, often among women, and much of its history has been barely noticed in favor of the wargaming that bloomed *among only men* during the hyper-reactionary 1820-1848 period.
