using ai isn't "free" it has an environmental cost AND steals other people's free work. it's antithetical to the idea of respecting creators who work for free bc it plagiarizes their work for people who are not working at all
fanfiction is born out of love and genuine excitement by a fan. it’s built on community, passion, deranged author’s notes. AI can’t understand emotion therefore
AI CAN NOT WRITE FANFICTION. get that shit away from ao3.
#India: We regret fast passage of Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, without adequate stakeholder consultation. The amendments risk setting back hard-won rights of transgender people, replacing self-identification with mandatory medical verification processes.
India has been a pioneer for rights of transgender & gender-diverse people. This Bill will have far-reaching impacts on right to privacy & risk marginalisation of transgender people.

A SUPREME COURT APPOINTED PANEL HAS ASKED THE GOVERNMENT TO WITHDRAWAL THIS 2026 BILL VIOLATING FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND MADE WITHOUT COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
PANEL WAS HEADED BY A FORMER DELHI HIGH COURT JUDGE
i just can't understand. economy is sinking, there's world war going on, people aren't getting fuel, infrastructure quality is at an all time low, the environment is slowly killing us and this is what they had to focus on? how someone wants to define themselves?
As expected, the #Transgender Bill is listed for passing in #RajyaSabha today.
Please note:
1. The Bill was passed in #LokSabha just y'day despite many MPs opposing & asking for it to be sent to a Committee for stakeholder consultations.
2. Y'day, #RajyaSabha was debating the Appropriation Bill and debate on that has been put on hold to take up Transgender Bill today. Y'day the debate on Finance Bill in Lok Sabha was also similarly put on hold to suddenly take up the Transgender Bill. This is extraordinary. This is done very very rarely & in fact, Govt always prioritises passing of financial bills over other business since these are time bound.
3. Govt has still not offered any explanation on what is the rush to pass this Bill. It brought the Bill suddenly without doing any prior consultations and has actively avoided sending it to #Parliament Committee also. It claims that the Bill is for the welfare of the Transgender community but refuses to engage with the same community on the Bill!
Now MPs in #RajyaSabha have the option to move motions to send Bill to Select Committee. Hope MPs are preparing for that.
Further hope that Opposition MPs will participate in vote on the Bill, and ask for division, instead of walking out!
But Govt has the numbers, it will most likely be able to push the Bill through. And if so, it will add to a long list of instances where #Parliament will be reduced to a mere rubber stamp instead of a democratic platform for inclusive deliberations!
if you are Indian, pls take the time to send an email to your rajya sabha rep about the bill. this bill was passed in the lok sabha yesterday and is up for debate in the rajya sabha today.

There is jail time for influencing someone to “become” trans which means that there will always be a looming threat of incarceration over supportive friends, teachers, parents, NGO workers, and mainly over kinner-hijra gharanas for providing safety to abandoned trans children.
Very bad news. If trans bill becomes a law, trans men, nonbinary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra, will not be legally recognised as trans. Only intersex and kinner-hijra persons will be recognised and that too after medical inspection. Additionally …
PLEASE please watch this and talk about trans people in India. They have now introduced a new bill which criminalises transitioning and helping someone in doing so.
i have over 100 examples of grok creating sexually explicit images of me and some even include me naked and in bdsm gear. i’ve also seen with my own eyes grok creating CSAM.
don’t let this be something everyone moves on from in a weeks time. hold everyone involved accountable
