this is probably the worst part, like i guess there can be some argument made about fairness for trans women (eg. the usual reason men are better at chess is that they are taught from younger ages, so a woman transitioning later in life could have an advantage that isn't erased by transition). but removing trans mens titles shows its purely coming from a place of transphobia rather than actually caring about womens sport >:(
its all bullshit though because there is fuck all trans players and afaik they aren't winning tournaments. and also the 'advantage' that trans women have is likely cancelled out by being trans, and theres nothing stopping people from coaching cis women from a young age.

transphobia :(
one of the worst bits is they seem to think only white people will read their book and study medicine, horrid
trying to work out if an indonesian muslim is Asian or Muslim
Yeah once I did that and added some less political communities I like it's balanced my feed out to a much better politics / normie content ratio for me. Hopefully I'll stick around :)
platformist anarchists definitely don't have more in common with trots than MLs or anything 😨
no thank you for keeping it going 
ugh just gives me flashbacks to that one poster that used solarpunk in the name and just posted the worst anarchist takes i have ever seen lmao
I am a platformist, like the organisations in Anarkismo. I mostly want to discuss some politics but also computer shit, IT industry shit (ie. talk to other people in my industry, who are ideally more left wing than HN), and art + photography. TBH photography is mostly what I talk about online these days, but there isn't a big photography community anywhere on the threadiverse I think.
It's more like someone I like to hang out with but don't want to live with, but I'll give it a go again :)
filipinos are, so they should count lol. But they clearly mean Asian === East Asia
