The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment. This is a campaign of eradication.

people who actually care about decreasing sexual assault do not start with public bathroom policy anymore than they start with pizza parlor basement zoning regulations. a journalist posing this “question” as a matter of important public policy is either inexcusably ignorant or simply a bigot

The crux of this framing is that men will “exploit” trans inclusivity to perv in women’s bathrooms. The problem is: men - like the *registered sex offender* in this story - already do this, and there’s zero evidence that trans-inclusive policies have suddenly incentivised more of them into action.

There will be a march from Queens University Belfast to the US Consulate on Saturday 1st March at 1pm to protest the genocide in Gaza. Tomorrow there will also be a lot of people lying about not being on their favourite Zuckerberg Serotonin Generator as part of a "global black out" protest.

Belfast Pride have put out a statement which says very little if anything. And a link to a survey that again, asks very little.

It's funny because an assistant robot actually has no reason to be a humanoid (an incredibly top-heavy and inefficient design) unless you want to market it to people who want to own slaves.

Fascists are trying to arrange another rally in Belfast and Derry on Sunday 23rd of March. Mark it in your calendar as there will inevitably be counter demos planned.

One lad who'll risk their life going across the English Channel in a dinghy in the hope of some shit minimum wage job instead of living at the absolute bottom rung of the capitalist exploitation ladder is worth a 1000 commentators who keep trying to tell you to give in to fascism just a little bit
