So @amnesty.org and @amnestyuk.bsky.social you turned your back on trans people in the U.K., when they needed you the most. You big yourselves up about how you take on governments over their human rights records, but when it comes to one single bigot threatening to take you to court, you fold.

Actual two-tier "justice"
Alejandra CaraballoThis is really bleak.
This is really spiteful and unnecessary considering everything trans people are going through right now. Why do you think they need more jokes made at their expense?
Ken JenningsThis may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.
okay but seriously the New York Times is doing some Radio Rwanda shit to every trans person you know and its gotten really bad in the last 5 years we're not a monolith, but the only trans people who won't cosign that are the ones other trans people dont like very much.
Ken JenningsThey were like “Trans people are not a monolith” and “Like-minded allies may disagree on specific media boycotts” and stuff like that. It was a huge load off my mind!
Countless women's sports teams have independently spoken up in favour of trans inclusion in sports only to be targeted by attacks from people who hate women's sports
victoria zeller⚔️ (RISEBALL, summer ‘27)enough of this shit
One thing I really like about Bluesky is how mostly everyone who joined pre-11/2024 is on the same page and we ran off the people who weren't. Lol I can post about how mindless transphobia is and not have to spend three hours blocking a bunch of dildos
The CEO of Palantir doesn’t like the way @zackpolanski.bsky.social opposes this creepy far right genocide-enabling company’s access to our data. Which is another real positive for Zack. He really is getting this right.
Given they already have to handle foreign identity documents that can have an X on (iirc as shown in court), the official systems already can and do 🤷🏼♀️ It was never a technical problem.
The UK is falling over itself to update official systems to exclude or out trans people, using "biological sex", "sex observed at birth" etc Yet they said there was no way to update systems to recognise non-binary people with an X marker. Hmmmm 😒
I've seen this before. My terf ex who tried "fuck the trans away" conversion therapy on me used a mixture of new age fake tantra and whatever bogus "native American" cult this bullshit is from.
Macy📣 #communitypost 🔥 Studying for my doctorate and I’m honestly stuck on this page 😏 ‘Nine Male Anatomy Types’… Elk Man, Horse Man, Dancing Man, the list goes on. Which one are you? Choose your type and submit your 📸 for “research” 👀 Future Dr. Macy needs volunteers! (Make it artistic, make me 💦)
This whole "are neurodivergent people really neurodivergent or is it just a pattern of bad behavior" is one of the main sentiments I'm referring to when I talk about people treating ADHD as "Lazy Idiot Disease."
mccIt was never going to stop at trans people.
Cuts to the CDC have created a “perfect storm” in which the diarrhea-causing cyclospora parasite outbreak could go from a minor inconvenience to a national public health crisis within a matter of weeks. DOGE cut eight of the 11 jobs at the CDC lab specializing in cyclospora.

Dare Obasanjo“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.
If they are capable of rowing against public opinion like this in order to defend Netanyahu and a far-right perspective on US-Israel relations why do they not extend the same for, say, defense of Americans' rights or for the Constitution and Democracy? (its because they do not believe in those)
