I used “not male” in a survey and I received absolutely no lashings. Trying to be inclusive of an underrepresented gender portion of the gender spectrum should not be this difficult. “Women and folks often misgendered as women” doesn’t always fit in 280 characters.Post details

Don't really care how Robert Webb does in the dancing show but just him taking part seems to have caused a lot of people to learn about his anti-trans views and comments. It's not just uncritically accepted anymore like it might have once been, and that means so much more.

Stop watching The Crown and go watch some History Channel documentaries, and those made by the local people. Start from the dark ages and work your way up through World Wars I and II and into the 60s. At no point in history has the British empire been romantic and inspiring.Carolyn Hinds @TIFF21 #SHWHTIFF21 (@CarrieCnh12)Sat, 18 Sep 2021 14:16 +0000
Reading this thread made me so sad. Thing is, I know countless girls and women who have stories just like this one. Honestly heartbreaking. I’m so glad that she helped. Let’s teach boys/men not to be predators, how about that? Fuck sake.

My blood is boiling! I was doing my run and I felt a schoolgirl tap me on the shoulder. Silly me thought I dropped something but she was shaking and told me a creepy old man had been following her in a car and she begged me to walk with her on the way to school….

Nope, for me it's the religious crusader vibe. Someone also suggested "crusader" to me once in a similar context. I had to point out that crusade is the literal translation of jihad to help them see how badly that translates outside of predominantly Christian communities.Alex Yates (He/Him) (@_AlexYates_)Tue, 07 Sep 2021 19:11 +0000

No, it IS a bad look if you continue playing Activision games after this. Blah blah blah no ethical consumption under capitalism but video games are a choice, not a basic necessity. There are plenty other games to play. You're supporting abusers.

Oh god, I'd not seen this before. It's heartbreaking. Here's a 2010 Blizzcon panel in which a fan was brave enough to ask a panel full of men, including J.

I've always been jealous of male colleagues who get to move freely about the industry chasing jobs that challenge them. They get to ask questions about the project in interviews.

When the "threats" are mainly tweets from anonymous single-figure troll accounts and - despite knowing this - you publicly link these trolls with the vulnerable trans community... well, I think we can all safely say that your faux concerns are rooted in deep transphobia. twitter.com/jk_rowling/sta…Charlie Don't Surf (@whalecoiner)Tue, 20 Jul 2021 11:51 +0000

TikTok is so full of it. Things keep coming up that shows that the app is not favorable for Black ppl. But most of these companies are asking creators to have a following on there. 😕
Post details
TikTok said “the app is mistakenly flagging phrases like ‘Black Lives Matter’ because its hate speech detector is triggered by a combination of words involving the words ‘Black’ and ‘audience’ — because ‘audience’ contains the word ‘die’ in it.” 🙄 vox.com/recode/2021/7/…hypervisible dot pdf (@hypervisible)Thu, 08 Jul 2021 20:06 +0000

Existing as a trans person in the UK is very weird right now: apparently cis gatekeepers should have the right to determine what I can do with my body for my entire life, but asking people to wear a mask during a global health emergency is a bridge too far?

Why #infosecbikini matters: At 2019 @defcon I went to the bathroom and a woman was weeping.
