Less RuPaul is a fabulous turn in the news day. Bye betch. Read more

No, I’m just tired of sycophantic, boot-licking press that underlines the idea that all celebs deserve attention all the time. WW, for one, doesn't deserve the press maybe ever.  Read more

I’m MUCH less concerned about celebrities being able to get their surgeries than I am, for example, trans people being able to receive gender confirming surgeries unfortunately deemed “cosmetic” or “elective,” but yeah, let’s center discussion on someone soooooo detached from reality, instead.

Oh for sure. And then when we get upset that their description of events is taken by third party entities to be the most accurate description of what happened, we're just "triggered." I feel 100% of what you're saying. Read more

I, too, do not see it as violence but instead a glorious invitation to become 'influencers' with a "sneak preview" of Atlantis. Read more

I want to say that this is unexpected, but it’s sadly just the end result of where anti-trans politics are headed now, nationwide. Under this president: Read more

It is *not* based on a change in public opinion. As Justices Kagan and Ginsburg pointed out today during oral argument, applying the provisions of a law as written is not adding anything, but interpreting the law to be applied when it is unclear, as in sexual harassment and sex stereotyping.  Read more

The personal is and will always be political in nature. The courts have been forced to reflect that reality because our legislative bodies have been so unproductive in the past ten years almost no laws have been passed in these areas. Read more

That argument in particular is a bad faith argument, basically suggesting that if ‘men’ can say they’re women, then those trans women will be taking opportunities and security away from cis women. The same argument could be made about trans men and cis men, but you will notice that charge has not really been made by… Read more

Personally I think you have their interest in the law backwards and, while you may be right about Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, Roberts has an interest in preserving the principal guidance of stare decisis. I think he has the *most* vested interest in this, and it’s an easy out to escape charges that justices are… Read more

Personally, I’ll be watching the lines of questioning on this case to see how our chances area looking. With 4 conservative and 4 liberal justices left, I am betting it will have to be Roberts who casts the swing vote in favor of existing precedent, which protects LGBTQ+ people. I say this because as Chief Justice who… Read more

See other responses both above and below for rebuttal, but your original post attempts to establish your credibility in the field by saying you passed a class. ONE. That does not a forensic specialist make. Read more

“my good friend” says your anecdotal evidence doesn’t matter at all because your data is literally hearsay from another profession/specialty that is not your own.  Read more

Improve these systems or not, they aren’t going away; better to help everyone be identified in acceptable terms rather than knowingly force some people on the margins into the hell that comes when the government or other police forces can’t knowingly qualify who you are. That kind of gray area situation is what the… Read more

Many alternatives are categorically worse, like DNA testing, blood swabs, or the current broken system of backscatter silhouette analysis you find at airports in the US. Everything is tested on median example datasets, so the tech forces people to the center in terms of identification of those within the center and… Read more

Really? The chive, of all places, was the joke you chose to validate in the headline? 😒 Read more
