Ukraine built a billion-dollar surrogacy industry around economically vulnerable women carrying babies for wealthy foreigners.
Now even Ukraine is considering restricting or banning foreign surrogacy over exploitation concerns.
When the country profiting from the trade starts warning about exploitation, you know that the wind is turning....

“Upward Bound,” the debut novel of a minimally speaking autistic man, is a best seller—but it was written using a method disavowed by many experts. @danengber asks if it’s all too good to be true: https://t.co/QDZ84fIo2I
@shattenstone The Times review wants to tell a pleasant story about liberation, a “caged” mind finally speaking. But if [FC] is what the science says it is, then the story isn’t about liberation at all. It’s about ventriloquism, a profound misattribution of voice.

@JNJdubya@libsoftiktok That applause made me burst out laughing. What a stupid and insubstantial thing to clap for. Posturing is exactly the word I thought of, too.
Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.
@AlbertansFirst@flightradar24 I hope they have strong supports in their life, looking out for them and helping them stay steady. They're in my thoughts as well.
@veronikadar3@babybeginner Our lawyers and judges have gone off the rails. "Minds so open their brains fell out." Everything is a thought exercise, divorced from the material reality the rest of us live in.
@babybeginner Everything in this is insane. But citing "You're fine as a lesbian," as an ANTI- anything statement is truly bananas. It's a positive statement.
@LPSmith_Emperor@cosminDZS It's historically an oral language. They only recently adopted the North American Phonetic Alphabet, to transliterate it to Academic.
