Yes. Most of the 'west' is though. To be honest some of the 'east' is too. Most governments have done this or equally bad things. This isn't to excuse the 'US' more highlighting that there is a problem with building a group of people into an organisation that gets to make all the decisions about both a certain group or certain groups of people supposedly under their care, and who make decisions about how they should 'deal' with other groups of people.

[Sarcasm] It's almost like making arbitrary lines on pieces of paper and then isolating yourself somewhat or completely from people outside of those lines and being selfish instead of sharing is a bad idea.

We think that the focus on 'afab' is very confusing and likely disrespectful to other people's gender.

We'd say it's not really possible to be attracted to a gender assignment and probably what you mean is genitals or some other physical features.

Most nonbinary people who have worked hard to get rid of or distance themselves from their gender assignment are probably not going to appreciate you finding them attractive based on a gender assignment.

Genital or other physical features attraction is probably okay and much better than saying you are attracted to a gender assignment. If you are going to call yourself 'sapphic' then unless you are legitimately only attracted to women and lesbians, regardless of genitals or other physical features, then we suggest just explaining your attraction rather than using 'sapphic' by defining it as being attracted to people who aren't women/lesbians but who have vaginas and not being attracted to women/lebians who have penises as that's just invalidating and transphobic, nonbinary erasure etc.

There's never any good reason to become a cop. Also, yikes at that description.

From the comments section of the article, Erin clarifies:

"To answer some quick questions about my latest story:

  • It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see

  • It does not impact American citizens

  • The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States

  • It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere"

If it's against rich people or corporations go right ahead!

Hey Louis, have you ever heard of J.K. Rowling? Think you might want to look closer to 'home'.

We've 0 interest in marriage, but dating them would be nice.

We remember the time our patches denatured due to getting too hot. We had really bad hot flashes until we could get some more. It was hell.

We keep them in the fridge now.

We completely agree, Mozilla should not be run like it is i.e. a Tech Startup and should allow donations to Firefox directly.

It should become a worker owned co-op as that would make a lot of things better in the long run.

It's been clear for a while now, their current way of operating just isn't going to work and hasn't been, especially since they're adding rubbish no-one wants or needs e.g. the private adverts thing.
