@EmmaFaber@AnungIkwe Dimocrats. They never have or will entrench abortion, they won't even ensure a federal equality law for women (ERA) which COULD be done.
@EmmaFaber@AnungIkwe who have never done an effing thing about abortion, and never will, because that way they won't be able to blackmail women (who they are erasing) to vote for them. It's under state control now, and I will bet you it's never going to change. How else could they get women to vote for them?
@LaylaAlexandrovna@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I consider myself very lucky, we have three very affordable restos near me, all highly rated, that cater to celiacs! The best rated fish ad chip place in the city, one Vietnamese and one Korean. There's a Thai one as well, but it's costy (as every Thai place I have ever been is). The foodie places are scattered all over the city.
@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain@LaylaAlexandrovna that is happening EVERYWHERE. I really beat the odds and I mean that, getting into affordable housing that is brand new. It's like the ONLY ONE that is brand new and it's in a super quiet area next to the University farms and a lovely residential district on the right side of the city, too.
@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain@LaylaAlexandrovna I join my son and daughter in common law once or twice a month, he brings the wine from his work, and it's always cheap, like $20. I get two meals out of the Vietnamese place.
@AnungIkwe I am confused. I thought extradition was too hard and expensive, that 's what they say when naturalized peeps commit criminal acts?

Sherri_IngreyThis is literally DISGUSTING. "The training itself, which is being offered to employers and employees up and down the country, is conducted by accredited coach and hypnotherapist, Matthew Bennett (he/him). Formerly a secondary school science teacher, Bennett describes himself as “a businessman, an explicit content producer, a BDSM practitioner, a Leather Master, and an expert in educational assessment”. Not knowing what ‘leather master’ meant, I quickly Googled the term and was immediately offered a link to PornHub…my wife is really going to kill me.
The training itself is pitched to “people aspiring to be middle managers”, who are asked: “Have you ever considered how your skills from kink could help your job... or your job skills could make your times in the bedroom or dungeon even better?” Said no person ever.

Sherri_IngreyKurt Vonnegut - who fought in WWII. “I wouldn’t have one of the motherfuckers in my house for anything...a firearm. It makes the blackest of all human wishes come true at once, at a distance: that something die. There is evil for you. We cannot get rid of mankind’s fleetingly wicked wishes. We can get rid of the machines that make them come true. I give you a holy word: DISARM." -- Kurt Vonnegut

Sherri_Ingreyhttps://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gender-ideology-exposedhttps://archive.ph/LUK4a WHEESHT” is Scots, meaning a plea or demand for silence, is a collection of essays by women who “risked their job, reputation, even the bonds of family and friendship, to make their voices heard” and built a grassroots campaign in defence of their sex-based rights that was the key factor in defeating the Scottish government’s attempt to impose self-ID on the country. Of major historical, political and social significance, these essays expose regressive and reactionary gender ideology; the only supposedly “progressive” social justice movement ever backed by state institutions, political elites and corporate finance, and the real consequences for women of policies like self-ID, championed not just by the Scottish government, but the country’s political Establishment. The “ill-defined” term “gender identity” entered the “Scottish public space” through the lobbying of public institutions, business and politicians with the aim of obtaining the right “for anyone over the age of 16 years old to obtain legal recognition as a member of the opposite sex”, or of being neither sex, by a simple administrative process. Sex in humans is binary and immutable, it is observed, not assigned at birth; women’s oppression is based on these facts. The consequences of self-ID would mean male access to women’s spaces, sports, hospital wards, the erosion of reliable sex-based data, and more.
Actually, we don’t have great data for those assertions. Several studies of childhood-onset gender dysphoria suggest that somewhere between 60 and 90 percent stopped experiencing dysphoria during puberty; those “desisters” had not socially transitioned, and never medically transitioned. The bulk of them (especially the boys) grew up to be gay.
The only real interruption to that assertion is a recent paper, which showed that most kids in the study who were socially transitioned continued to identify as trans five years later. That could be an indication of the power of social transition, rather than proof that “trans kids know who they are”—though that’s how most of the media reported it.
Elana Redfield, federal policy director at Williams Institute, UCLA’s gender think tank, asserted: “It’s a real piece of spin that minors are suddenly getting lots of hormones without counseling.” And McNamara said that “surgery is rare, especially among minors.”
Again, we don’t have enough data to make these cases. What have accounts by detransitioners, like Isabelle Ayala or Luca Hein, of being rushed along the medical path, their other mental health conditions ignored—just as we have accounts of happily and carefully transitioned youth. We don’t know the number of surgeries, but how many dozens of mastectomies need to be performed on for 13- to 16-year-olds before journalists will admit that they have even happened once, and that it’s not hateful to wrestle with the ethics of it, especially with so little follow-up? “They’re rare” translates into “don’t talk about them.” https://www.broadview.news/p/how-the-media-got-the-trans-kid-story?r=385ep
