On multiple occasions the bigots searched the London marathon's unranked noncompetitive division specifically to find trans women to try and bully out of the sport. That's not what anyone would do when concerned about fairness.

Any claimed concern about fairness is a smoke screen for their real goal of making trans people not exist.

You cannot appease them by changing how things are ranked. You cannot appease them by banning trans athletes outright. They won't stop at sports. Any appeasement in sports will just let them focus fully on the next right they're trying to eliminate.

Trans women are at a disadvantage in most sports, if they've been on HRT long enough. Appeasement is an admission that the bigots are right, but they aren't. You have to fight the bigots on every front.

The plates are all right side up. The main light is located off the right side of the scene. It casts a highlight on the right outside edge, and on the left edge of all internal edges. If one of the plates were upside down the highlights would appear on the opposite internal edges, but all of the highlights are the same.

Also the right edge of some of the plates casts a shadow inside of the dish. The edge of an upside down dish does not cause a self-shadow in the middle. Only concave shapes will do this.

spacex is also not starting from zero. They previously made the falcon 9.

according to the supreme court standing is no longer required

I use ublock origin and you can add a custom filter. They put the shorts in a specific panel that you can block easily.

are republicans promising to abolish landlords now?

Trans people being for pansexuals is a common trope in queer pandering media. They specifically pair trans people with pansexuals, so they can be inclusive, but in the specific way that doesn't ask their mostly cis and straight audience to question their own sexuality, because that might make them uncomfortable.

Its not a reflection of reality. Hot women are hot, hot men are hot, regardless of how they got there.

Edit: I disagree with the ban. It isn't transphobic to be misinformed. They even phrased it as a question, and didn't argue their position any further. They sounded genuinely confused about the terms, and every other reply seemed to have drawn the same conclusion.

so... how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn't a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

Weird right wingers kept going on about trans people, and I wanted to be informed about it and learned a few things about myself in the process.

I genuinely had no idea for most of my life. The signs were there all along but only in retrospect. It took me 2-3 years of questioning before I started transitioning. I was not ever truly certain I was trans until I started HRT, and everything started to feel fine, like genuinely fine. Didn't realize I was depressed from dysphoria my entire life because I had no point of comparison.

I certainly envy the trans people who were able to learn they were trans at an early age. The best time to transition is just before the start of puberty, the second best time is now.

The US did issue passports with an x gender marker. The first one was issued in 2021 after a lawsuit, and the option was on the official paperwork in 2022. Most would usually advise against doing so as many countries do not recognize the X gender, and would deny entry as a result. Be aware of where you want to travel and that those countries are accepting before you commit to the X marker.

That was before the newest administration. It remains to be seen how things will play out in future as many executive orders will be blocked in the courts. Executive orders are the lowest tier federal legislation, overruled by nearly everything else.

I AM MOVING FROM LEMMY.WORLD!!

It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, I am transitioning my account to lemmy.blahaj.zone! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire self is already onboard.

FAQ:
Why?
That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary reason is ideological similarities between me and Ada's excellent team of admins. I am on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this.

How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire account (trust me, I checked), so I am logging out of the old account, and moving my focus to the hildegarde on lemmy.blahaj.zone. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.

What about the posts?
Well, I tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying my brain's sanity. For this reason, I am simply ignoring the old account. Everything is staying up. Direct messages are still enabled, but I'm not going to read them or anything.
