Where can I read about this? Reminds me a lot of when I was a teen and wanted to transition to a woman, but they didn’t let lesbians do that. (A ”progressive” Nordic country)

Tens of thousands

Up to 200,000 actually, more than ever before. What’s up with them playing down the number in the title?

One week before her arrest, Rheintgen sent around 160 printed letters to Florida lawmakers informing them she planned to use the specific restroom in the Florida State Capitol on March 19 in protest of the Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act.

Love Dax, always felt a connection with the character. I’ve also been both, at least in the way it appeared.

I was a bit into my transition when a colleague started explaining the basics of VHDL to me after I had pointed out to him that the bug in his design had all the hallmarks of an off-by-one. (Thanks, buddy, I have a postgraduate degree in this). I was so baffled because that sort of stuff had never happened to me before.

Then he was going over the code and explaining how there is no off-by-one when I pointed out that his integer type was indeed one bit smaller than it needed to be.

He of course tried to take credit for fixing that bug, but guess which girl was the one with merge permissions in gitlab.

I’ve also had several men try to explain to me how the vending machine in the office works, even as I was using it. That one gives me a laugh every time.

There is no ethical reason to start inventing even more gatekeeping measures. Might as well start using horoscopes.

They clearly just want us to be nowhere and they are using sports as one excuse to accomplish that.

There is no magic to being assigned female at birth. A girl I know was assigned female at birth until the doctors decided to forcibly reassign her as male two weeks later. It took about 25 years of her life for her to fix their mistake and start living as the woman she always was. And in the end she is an AFAB trans woman.

The things they say they do to protect women, in fact hurt women.

The posts at the top of that community made me cry. I’ve never had parents I could talk to like that.
