@LostInCalifornia@taylan I dislike that plant milks, excluding, perhaps, coconut milks, are referred to as "milk." It's dishonest. It's deliberately dishonest.
It's like if I go to the hospital for a blood transfusion, they can't pump my body full of strawberry juice and call it "plant-based blood." People admit that. But they want to call an oat-based beverage "oat milk" as if it replaces actual milk. Why don't they just put soda or urine diesel oil in cereal? They're all just alternative milks, right?
@KeepTakingTheSoma@meghanemurphy And I think it's important to do that while avoiding purity spirals. I find the Buddhist approach serves here, a so-called "middle path." Just my 2cents.
@KeepTakingTheSoma@meghanemurphy I truly hate thay you have a point. Many self-described feminists advocate for this. But not all feminists. And the ones fighting back and being attacked by agp men, their feminist contemporaries, and the rw which doesn't respect women anyhow, have been feminists. Radical feminists.
Was there ever any solidarity and camraderie between some gay/trans-identifed men and lesbians/"fag-hags" in the era etc...
I've seen snippets of "Paris is Burning" and am now lookin to "Pose," a contemporary show set in 80s ball culture. At least in Paris is Burnimg, some of the men pass exceptionally well, which is even more admirable when considering the many surgery options weren't available at the time, or at least bot ubiquitous.
I guess I understand that sex matters, etc... and I know gay men can be incredibly misogynistic, and i even know that the FBI said ay some point half of them were NPD (a cluster B) regardless of sexual orientation, but I just can't help having difficulty reconciling my hard-line stances with, i don't know, the desire for so.e way people could just all get along and it was okay to be fabulous.
I get why men can't be in women's spaces, and I get that they don't really care about us the way we care about them (it'd not reciprocal) but I still feel for them. Anyhow, anyone with info on problems in the culture of the 80s, or women's participation, or whatever... I'm listening.
Two thirds of forces also allow biological male trans officers and civilian staff to use women's showers, toilets and changing rooms, according to a Freedom of Information request by the Daily Mail.
"I am raising £6,000 to prepare my employment tribunal case against my former employer, Bracknell Forest Borough Council. I want to complain of discrimination and harassment on the grounds of sex and gender-critical belief.
My case is about the Council’s “Trans and Non-Binary Policy”, under which it has removed all single-sex toilets, and its breach of the Nolan Principles and harassment of gender-critical staff and those who do not believe in gender identity theory through its extensive and oppressive use of the Progress Pride flag.
I believe sex is immutable, and that sex is different to gender, and that women’s single-sex spaces are important for privacy and dignity, and to help protect women and girls from violence and abuse, especially sexual assault."
"Any unused funds will be donated to another similar case supporting women’s rights in the workplace."
