These perspectives have been presented to encourage debate on important public policy challenges.  On April 16, 2025, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling interpreting the terms "woman" and "sex" under the Equality Act 2010 to refer strictly to biological sex assigned at birth.

Not mine, but I could not find the source

Description: A Windows 2000 desktop, showing an installation wizard for a program called "Gender 2.0". The window displays the message: "Thank you for reinstalling your gender!" Below, two options are given: "Reinstall using default settings (recommended)" and "Custom install (for advanced users) - Choose your gender expression, pronouns and other features".

 

The memo isn’t law, but it is the latest escalation in Trumpian efforts to wage war on trans people.

In a show of solidarity with the Palestinian-led BDS movement, indie label Ice Water Games has removed one of its projects, open-world tactics RPG Tenderfoot Tactics, from the Xbox store.

 

Six trans individuals share what it’s like being trans and incarcerated under Trump.

Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court’s attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.

It is likely that there will never be a site like 4chan again.

"Sex-based rights" are a Potemkin feminism that commit us to a theory of objective sex where there is something special about your very biology that entitles you to special treatment not deserved by others.

Andor’s final chapter feels like a series of mini-movies about how wars for freedom are won in fits and starts.

The stock went down when Tesla's sales numbers for the first quarter of 2025 got out and showed a decrease of sold vehicles, on top of Musk's shenanigans and the protests at Tesla showrooms. Now these events have been "priced in" and the stock operates on vague estimates and wishful thinking again until the next slew of substantial bad news hits, at the latest when the next quarterly numbers are due.

Back when the mod team of c/Ghazi decided to leave Reddit and moved to Blahaj.Zone's Lemmy, the strict moderation was one of the reasons we did so: Vocal minorities can far too easily spoil the enjoyment for everybody else. A tight moderation is the only way to prevent that from happening and personally I am glad to be a part of Blahaj.Zone

Thanks to Ada, Supakaity, all the mods of the communities on Blahaj.Zone and everybody else around here for making it such a unique site!

If anyone wants on deep dive into the topic, I recommend this video essay by Cal Does Life.

Ah, thank you for the info. I did not know it has been posted before.

I think a part of the answer there is: White people did not expect to be treated the way PoC already are.

It should not be a surprise to anyone, but it's remarkable nonetheless: She is 20 and sounds so much more mature than her "cheats at video games to impress 4chan nazis" father.

Germany is nobody's friend. But definitely not of anyone who dares to point out German hypocrisy. 🤮

That is a fair point and I agree that this kind of behavior should be avoided.

The image is hosted on Catbox.Moe and I have been told that it does not work well for some people on Lemmy. (I upload it to Catbox.Moe because - in turn - Blahaj.Zone often makes it difficult for me to upload images.)

Mod note: While this is relevant to fem people, this is somewhat too generic for FemCelMemes. A different community may be better suited for it. Therefore this post was locked. Thank you for your understanding!
