Just so we're clear on how absolutely stupid the British Government is.
When a petition is signed with over 2 million people saying No to Digital ID, it gets ignored.
When 9000 people answer an online, unadvertised survey, suddenly it's "overwhelming support".
@radfemma odd argument, given that it would apply to any theory from feminist to class consciousness. "if you have time to think about it you aren't being oppressed enough (for me to think it counts)" positions you in a very odd way regardless of that.
@rlycrossedup i don't think I've ever seen one of these that's uses baldness or hair loss as part of the nonconformity. but i guess that's just not good fetish-bait.
Deeply anti-British of the Home Office to ban both Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, upholders of our nation's most fundamental belief that everyone in the media should be related.
@assburgerstim@CamBang3r the reaction is probably fuelled by the women in panel 2 looking like the same people from panel 1 post transition and what that would imply here.
@a61268232247673@alicefarquson@beeeeeeaan "your work is too inspired by someone you clearly looked up to a lot, i am now going to question your entire identity (public and private)" is a wild leap, and plays into transition as a mental illness. you can say you think she rips her off without being weird about it.
@a61268232247673@alicefarquson@beeeeeeaan not really. PT started to ramp that shit up like three years before transitioning after getting out of an abusive relationship and having the funds to do so. even if you were right, saying that ripping off her style is "transitioning into her ex" is still lowkey fucked up to say.
@a61268232247673@alicefarquson@beeeeeeaan They were both theatre kids with similar interests long before she transitioned. This is just assigning weird motivations to her transition. Please don't do that.
Theyre charging a trans woman for defending herself
Not for killing, not for shooting & injuring, merely a warning to people committing a hate crime against her
Judge has already refused to dismiss the charges. 15 years of sexual slavery for not submitting to a hate crime
When anti-choice protestors picketed Pride a few years ago, it was trans women who crowded them and got them to back away. Those same trans women were videod by the protestors, and had our provincial police force post their names and faces with a wanted sign for “harassment”
@HodsonAnn sorry but anybody used to the way right-wingers use prison statistics to portray black people as inherently prone to crime are going to look at a graph that portrays 56 actual people using 1,177 stick figures and understand exactly what it's trying to do.
@HodsonAnn@htmljones@fleasquasher That's only assuming the same rates where data is missing, before getting into the fact that anonimsed polls regularly show higher rates, with fear of being outed reported, which can skew those results.
@HodsonAnn@htmljones@fleasquasher While we're extrapolating to the population, though:
45% who identified as something other than birth sex gave no further info
6% did not answer the question at all.
Extrapolating for that missing info in the exact same way gives a population of roughly 93,000 trans women.
