Seeing a *lot* of laid off/position eliminated posts lately, and it's just... it's disgusting. What kind of logic is it to see a recession looming, so you cut people, who then have to scramble to find a new income, try to keep their housing and necessities going, do you think they've got any money left to pump into the economy to satisfy the 'endless growth' fantasy of corporations?

You can't fix a house fire by pouring gasoline on it, and you can't fix a recession by gutting jobs en masse either.

Where are the news articles about the executive class taking cuts to their pay and bonuses?

A right-wing Australian politician seems to be getting in on the MAGA act by calling for straight people to get their own flag and parade. Why, you ask? For "preventing human extinction." 🙄

Yes, because heterosexuals are the true victims.

Trans “dad joke”

And yet here you are, controlling what women can do with a bun in the oven.

"Why be openly trans if you pass well enough that people can't tell?"

Because there's nothing wrong with being trans. Being seen is a way of fighting against the bigots who don't want us to be seen or heard.

Because others like me see that they aren't alone.

Because I lost so much time due to a false image of what trans was. Scared and confused by media portrayals, stuck thinking that I'd just be 'an ugly man in a dress'

I needed to see and hear real trans people to see myself.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"
