losing the battle with entropy

@ZalinskyS @Jonnywsbell Could it possibly be the case that the Somalis who are most likely to want to leave and move to countries like the US are those who are intelligent and ambitious, and who have quite westernised values? Those who like their home culture wouldn't want to move to the US anyway.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@Jonnywsbell Don't you think maybe there's a reason why strong intelligent ambitious women might want to leave Somalia and move to a country where they have rights?

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@ThePosieParker Can't help but wonder how you'd perceive the same scene if it was a group of white middle class people?

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@ThePosieParker I don't really see what's antisocial about some people hanging out on the street chatting to each other? All looks fairly calm to me. The worst thing was the man saying "how are you darlin?" which is like the most polite sexual harassment I've ever heard!

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@surfjaseoz @jspalmer_1 @superTV247 @BBC Nope, for being someone who supports vulnerable people to be able to live their lives authentically and safely. Nothing misogynistic about it, in fact oppressing trans people tends to have a negative effect on women as it results in people policing our femininity.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@MikeBerridge @superTV247 To be fair with the drag queen it's often "conventional" to refer to them as "her" when they're in character.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@niceheadlocksir @superTV247 Now do the same but for cis men.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@JossJo_1989 @homoeroticeels @superTV247 Yes, trans women are over 4 times more likely to be victims of violent assault (both sexual and non sexual) than cis women are. And are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide. Sounds pretty vulnerable to me?

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@Shatterface @m4ngon1nja @superTV247 Don't be silly. Trans people do not affect my rights as a woman. And nobody is "sterilising" kids, generally speaking most kids only socially transition, but if any medical treatment is given it's usually only puberty blockers. Kids aren't getting their ovaries/testes removed.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@terrafically OK, but isn't this the same logic TERFs use when they complain about terms like "pregnant person"? I've been moving towards using less gendered language because the more I've thought about it the weirder it is that we refer to people's gender so often for no apparent reason.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@tylerjohnpratt @jk_rowling Yeah it's sad to see what's become of her.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@LouiseMensch @jk_rowling What exactly are you referring to? The only thing I'm aware of is one report 4 years ago where they argued that stationing Ukrainian military in residential areas endangered the civilian population. Everything they've said apart from that has been criticism of Russia.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 So does the same logic apply to "Black woman", "tall woman", etc? Trans is short for transgender, and transgender describes the type of woman referred to.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@Siege_Perilous @GudbuyTJayne @mikeysmith @SandraDunn1955 Why do you assume someone who doesn't like Starmer must be far right or reading biased media? Plenty on the left and even some in the centre were frustrated with him as a leader too. I voted for him, clinging to hope he might be OK, but sadly he lived up to my worst expectations.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@Siege_Perilous @mikeysmith @SandraDunn1955 I don't think the issue is in understanding what underlying message he was trying to send, it's more about the format in which the message was delivered!

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@mcalmond @NYCMayor Criticism of Netanyahu has nothing to do with him being Jewish, it's because he's just an awful human being. Antisemitism would be tarring all other Jews with the same brush just because they share a religion/ethnicity with him & his Zionist cronies.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@BOTE1414 @ZackPolanski @169Nomis "The population hasn't been reduced"?! Are you on crack?? Even if you dispute the use of the word genocide you can't dispute the fact that vast numbers of Palestinians, including many innocent children, have been killed.

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@PaulKiely10 @Russell0123456 @ZackPolanski Who changed his name to honour his heritage & distance himself from his stepdad while on the other side Tommy Robinson did it to hide his criminal past & named himself after a football hooligan. And the idea the Greens are the "Muslim party" yet led by a gay jew is hilarious!

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@ValDobson @joshythemad @TunedIntoTennis It might be illuminating to read what the scientist who discovered the SRY gene has to say about the use of it in sport sex testing: https://t.co/XLutFHf5Fb

[Sas HM @Saskia_HM]

@ValDobson @joshythemad @TunedIntoTennis Lastly, that's utter nonsense about Semenya & Khelif, there is no evidence at all that either was "aware for years they are male", and Semenya has not "fathered a child", her partner had a baby through artificial insemination. People with Semenya's DSD are generally infertile. /5
