We can do what we want with our language incl changing the meaning of gender words.
To discuss the consequences tho is not phobic.

Self ID of gender means that the criteria for correct use of gender words cannot be public. If they were public I would know as well as you who is which gender. But it means nothing to say that the criteria for correct use of words are private. That's a nonsense. #selfID #trans

Hey @British_Airways I'm travelling with my 92 year old dad. I can't choose seats for the outbound with Vueling, and I can't reach you by phone. At present we are not sat together. Also you've taken payment for a seat of another flight but not assigned the seat. What can I do?

@Gatwick_Airport Hi Gatwick, I'm travelling on Friday with my elderly dad. We've booked assisted travel with the airline, but need a wheelchair to meet us at the drop-off when we arrive. How can I arrange this?

@CharlotteCGill It doesn't fall from the sky but it is created by govt. Taxes do not fund govt spending. There would be no taxes unless govt had created the money first in order to pay them.

@CilComLFC It is being talked about. A quick search finds it on the BBC, the Independent etc.

So Asma al-Assad didn't have her citizenship revoked? (unlike Shamima Begum) #Syria

#Israel may well damage #Hamas severely, but not the idea of violent resistance. If nothing else changes, if not Hamas, then some other organisation with a commitment to violent resistance, will arise. All this is just 'mowing the grass' albeit down to the scorched earth. #Gaza

How have British Muslims contributed to the UK?

@AnnPettifor Which basic premise exactly please?

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Rory often refers to tradition as one of the reasons why he's a conservative. But which traditions? The traditional high street? The traditions of industrial production, steel, shipbuilding, mining...? The craft traditions? Or is it just monarchy, field-sports and bagpipes?

@HenricCont @argokimetes @davehart @LevyEcon But this is straight MMT isn't it? The gov 'provisions' itself by demanding tax payment in its own money on pain of imprisonment. The private economy must now get that money & does so by selling goods & services to gov.

[Fraski @_Fraski]

@ProfessorWerner 'forced'. How does it do that?

[Fraski @_Fraski]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret The word 'terrorist' has come up in a number of podcasts with no critical look at what it means. Can you tell us what you guys mean by it? Do you agree 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'?

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:

@JamesHeartfield @DerbyChrisW @NadineDorries Otherwise the description fits, is that what your saying?

[Fraski @_Fraski]

If we are to accept that women can have penises then that is a change of word USE. But is it also a change of MEANING? Either:
a) yes
b) no - it is bringing use into line with real meaning.
But b) is just philosophical mysticism & a) needs discussion.
