I really wish nominally progressive media outlets would stop adopting fascist uses of language without even putting it in scare-quotes. The EHRC code of practice is not based on biological sex ((mutable) physiological elements of the social construct 'sex') it's based on sex assumed at birth -- no matter the language they use in the text. Every time 'biological sex' is used unquestioningly to mean the latter, it reifies a fascist understanding of sex, and we slide a little closer to losing the rhetorical battle.
Maximum dynamic pressure. At max q, the mechanical stress on a spacecraft stops increasing and starts decreasing. If a spacecraft is going to blow up, it usually does so before max q.
Not sure how to make that apply here 🧐
Even if you want to separate sex and gender and define sex using sexual characteristics (not actually a good idea, see works by Judith Butler and Julia Serano among others, although I wont fight that point here), almost no sexual characteristics are immutable. The only ones that I can think of are chromosomes and gametes, but chromosomes aren't even binary (or observable without a microscope) and gametes arent a good basis either -- should being infertile affect your sex?
Disdain for an entire country of diverse people based on the (stupid, bad) actions of the minority in power is a bit much...
Really interesting link, thanks for sharing.
Anarchism does not (necessarily) call for a total lack of organisational structure, first and foremost it calls for the abolition of unjust hierarchies. I think a lot of anarchists would broadly agree with the main points of that article.
If you think there is no viable alternative to captitalism, I'd highly recommend the book "Capitalist Realism" by Mark Fisher, which tackles that very subject :)
btw please write "trans woman" instead of "transwoman", I'm sure you didn't intend it but the latter is frequently used by as a dog-whistle by fascists to avoid admitting we are women.
ah, hopefully with the Digital Markets Act in the EU, reliable bridging to Matrix with E2EE intact will come quickly. You can already bridge (e.g. I run mautrix-whatsapp), but its not in an ideal state

I'm in my mid 20s and a woman and I found out recently that the skinny jeans I've been wearing for the last decade have supposedly been uncool the whole time. I don't care. Style is personal, and I like them.
