I visited your [ONE OF] shop/café/restaurant/business yesterday.
During that visit, I needed to use the lavatory. I note that you have undertaken to provide separate "Men's" and "Women's" facilities.

I asked for directions from member of staff. At no time did they try to confirm which facility was appropiate for me based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".

I asked for directions from member of staff. They asked me a series of deeply inappropriate, private questions as to my eligibility for a particular facility, presumably based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".
[REVERSE ORDER AS NEEDED. A ->.C,D. B -> D, C and add "However"]
[C]
By not enforcing the "biologIcal sex"-based segregation which you have undertaken to provide in your infrastructure, you may be subject to litigation.
[D]
Challenging service users or demanding evidence of their "biological sex" may be subject to privacy-invasion-related litigation under Article 8 of the European Conventionm of Human Rights. It is also a deeply dehumanising approach to treating your customers.
I sympathise with your predicament. The guidelines are unclear and contradictory. Only switching to unisex facilities would completely avoid this problem which didn't previously exist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwv4re7u3kij4hc3tftufhpj/bafkreicewrnszjcnczqarzsfq4bkhoitqj4znvi3xnaazomcyog4xd3uoq)

"Nerds may have gotten weird or douchey about anime" who else do you think was going to have opinions about anime back in the 90s, exactly? Do you think Lowtax named the Something Awful anime subforum Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse by throwing darts at a board or what?
James Beckett@kickthebeckett.com · last wk.The U.S. didn't "hate" anime in the 90s. People these days tend to conflate (or confuse) "broad teasing of foreign cultures and nerd hobbies" for "hatred." As for the nerds and bullies that may have gotten weird or douchey about it...I mean, what do you expect? That's what nerds and bullies do.

So, I got into tabletop games by hanging out at a friend's game shop. (I'd met him while clubbing.) This was a fairly typical FLGS. 40K, Friday Night Magic, a coupla V:TM tables. The core group of dudes where old uni mates. These were true-blue grognards. They used to play Napoleonics. 1/
I stand by this, but even I wasn't expecting the Spectator to publish a hatchet job on Anthony Bourdain, written by a far-right influencer, which opens by *approvingly quoting the Unabomber*
Sean Bell@seancmbell.bsky.social · 7mo agoY'know, in between all the apologies for fascism, British nationalism, gleeful transphobia and general anti-woke psychosis, it's easy to forget that the Spectator consistently features some of the *worst* fucking food writing on the planet

There's a lot of hay that can be made about the decision to use a nordic "viking" longship as the ship of Odysseus, but I have only one straw to pick in this thread:
speaking as a fan: the care, love and attention to real world culture, use of chinese language, depiction of accurate real life martial arts traditions and so much more in that vein was the biggest attraction of this show. And they're throwing all of it away. All of it. Insanity.

Philosophically speaking, would the demon lord invasion seeking to corrupt humanity into demons actually be that bad compared to what we have today where people die from institutional betrayal or violence. If the demon horde just wants to turn everyone into succubi, is that actually even all that b-

Norwegian institute of public health straight up saying "Given the many challenges faced by trans people we need to look into preventative measures so fewer people end up trans"
Anine Hartmann@aninehartmann.bsky.social · 2w agoFolkehelseinstituttet vil finne ut om man kan forebygge at folk blir transpersoner, eller behandle de som blir det. Dette er fra den etiske redegjørelsen til et pågående helseforskningsprosjekt hos FHI. Lurer på om FHI har noen prosjekter der de vil forebygge eller behandle homofili også.
I’m glad that the walls seem to be closing in on Andrew Tate, but it took criminal investigations across three countries, dozens of outspoken victims, and a hit TV show implying he drives boys to murder girls for this to happen—and he still hasn’t been convicted yet. This is why 98% get away with it
