@PosenIzzy @Shmoilyyoily In Yiddish, I hope...

A post from the USA. Worth thinking about.

@sappholives83 I have found a good way to understand Judith Butler: put your JB quote into ch*tgpt prefaced by 'rewrite the following text using language that can be understood by KS2 pupils.' (For something with slightly bigger words you could substitute KS2 for KS3.)

@WBarnard19 @KirstieMAllsopp Because she is using her platform as a well -known person (ie someone with more power/privilege) to speak up and support the other women who have come forward.

"I'm tired of constant vigilance.
I'm tired of constant vigils."

A hard-hitting and insightful reflection from @_CaitlinORyan about the myriad ways that women pay for societal norms. Brava!

@elliot633297 To conclude, and to answer your original qn: for the purposes of this exchange my definition of a trans person is about acceptance, or at the very least respect: not 'someone who is/identifies as xyz', but rather 'someone that JG (and, I guess, you) accepts as as a trans person'.

[SarahB @sarahbronzite]

@elliot633297 So when I say 'an actual trans person', that's who I mean: trans people who don't fit in your graphic. My qn to JG was: can she acknowledge people whom we should respect as trans (ie to not position all calling themselves trans as being dangerous/overindulged/needing protection.

[SarahB @sarahbronzite]

@fem_mb @elliot633297 It's not me saying the groups on the graphic aren't trans: it's the graphic itself. It strongly implies that people who fall into these groups aren't trans. Hence my original qn.

Re being nb ... that's about gender, not sex. (And, re sex, don't forget intersex people.)

A dignified and powerful message.

Woah.
You gotta listen to this.

Every. Single. Word.

What an incredible speech for Israel at the UN on the anniversary of October 7th.

@CombatASemitism Nice try. The Talmud may say it's a crime but wayyy too many ultra-conservative J wives are told they must have 'intimate relationships' with their husbands or they will be to blame if he sins (ie finds sexual satisfaction elsewhere). Video heinous but yours is not a good look.

@ImtiazMadmood It's sort of funny; but sadly it erases Israeli Christians.
