Jag tror inte folk begriper hur obehagligt det är att vara transperson, eller minderårig/förälder till minderårig transperson i UK just nu.
Man har precis förbjudit alla sorters behandling till <18-åringar och det enda staten erbjuder är conversion therapy. Minderåriga som vill byta namn eller ->
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
This always makes me think the same shit every time. Why are you working that job? If you want a machine to do every single step for you, why the fuck do you work? Why get out of bed without the passion to do the thing you're allegedly excited to do? Why not just roll over and die if you don't care?
"Mustum playa videogameus" translated as "Must play videogames" by Google Translate.
The funniest thing about modern AI-powered Google Translate is that it will interpret any fake-sounding Latin
the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

Jag har som kvinna, eller som Ebba Busch skulle beskriva mig, en 'biologisk man', gjort det hon varnar för. Badat, kissat och bytt om. Utbytt komplimanger med andra fulla tjejer på klubbtoan och talat ut när främmande män låtit blicken eller handen vandra över min kropp.

Roughly 1,700 trans people in Kansas are going to have their driver's licenses and birth certificates revoked this week.

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.
The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.
Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.
One of the things that really fucking annoys me about AI is that people *do not understand it* (on purpose, bc these companies want it that way) and they assume it’s as reliable as the computers they’ve been using their whole life when it’s actually about as reliable as your least capable intern
#BREAKING EU Parliament votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW on "women’s rights and gender equality."

Let's see how much traction in the news this gets...
This should be front page news.
according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
"alla medborgare i vårt land ska kunna känna sig trygga", skriver statsministern m fl. Skillnaden mellan att känna sig trygg och att vara trygg kan låta som en liten petitess, men får stora konsekvenser om cispersoners upplevelse av trygghet prioriteras framför transpersoners faktiska trygghet.
Jag orkar inte.
Tre förslag – vi ser över könstillhörighetslagen

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
I think its fucking crazy that Grok is actively generating deepfakes and csam as we speak but if I want to commission a nsfw painting of two fictional characters and pay it through paypal I could get myself and the artist banned from the site. Like honestly, fuck all of this.
In news which should be shocking to absolutely no-one with an ounce of commonsense or humanity, providing gender affirming care to trans young people reduces risks of harm.
Preventing trans young people accessing treatment has never been about "protecting children"

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
She left??
Goddamn it. This wasn't about furry rights, was it? This was an excuse to run another Trans person off the internet.
Fuck everyone involved in that shitshow.
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

Gina Dirawi får inte prata om att hon är palestinier men Agnes Wold får skriva hatiska högerextrema konspirationsgrejer om HBTQ+ på Twitter och samtidigt leda ett väldigt populärt radioprogram 👍
Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.
Suzanne Moore: This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology
As I said recently in The Guardian:
"Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them"
So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).
Don't spread this boomer-bait Chicken Soup For The Soul bullshit on Bluesky for goodness' sake! Have some dignity and recognize the writing style and narrative tropes of this maudlin slop that has existed for over 20 years
