So yes, trans women are "biological women." Trans men are "biological men." Nonbinary people are "biologically nonbinary." We're not androids. It's just an unserious, unscientific framing.

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

"If it's not sustainable, it will not be sustained," is not a pithy aphorism. It's a description of physical reality.

La France a été ces trois derniers mois le pays qui présente l'anomalie de température la plus marquée au monde (+2,8°C au-dessus de la moyenne pour la période 1991-2020). On ne le répète jamais assez mais l’Europe est le continent qui se réchauffe le plus vite sur notre planète.

In terms of temperature anomaly for the last three months (MJJ 2026 period), France is the most anomalous country in the world with +2.8 °C above the 1991-2020 average.

This woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo... On the up side...

Police criminally charged Shae Sanders and Aurora Rush, who were both injured in the cruel attack.

This wild story is once again proof that anyone who thinks "making people use their 'real names' online will solve internet abuse forever" has never actually examined the behavior of people using their "real names" online

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

None of these revolutions was won decisively and we're in the middle of considerable counter mobilization by rich white men against all of them to try and stuff them back in the box forever but some battles are better fought anyway.

Similarly the nostalgia people have for early Twitter, the fact that black Twitter made it the cultural force that it was and simultaneously had a big hand in multiple cultural revolutions of the mid 2010s made it necessary for it to be bought out by the world's biggest white supremacist.

But I think it's worth understanding the place that we've gotten to now as a consequence of how powerful that early internet was also as a space for connection and galvanising human rights movements and the deep need of the powerful and wealthy to sabotage this technology of subversive collaboration

Like the hypocrisy and the open corruption, the naked, brazen lying is itself aspiring authoritarianism. They aren't lying to cover anything up. They're saying, "We know we're lying. You know we're lying. And we know you know we're lying. And there's nothing you can do about it."

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

Personne ne sera surpris de lire ça dans un magazine qui a lâché la rampe depuis belle lurette sur tout ce qui touche aux avancées scientifiques, dans à peu près tous les domaines du savoir, sciences "dures" et sciences humaines confondues. Le Point n'est plus un journal sérieux depuis longtemps.

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 2w ago

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

Hugely grateful to the survivors who came forward and shared their stories. To the investigative journalists who refused to let this story go. To everyone who says “enough” and fights like hell to bring predators to justice.

This is what celebrity worship, rape culture & end stage capitalism create A system that overlooks pedophilia and sexual assault as long as the perpetrator is rich & powerful There’s men like this in every industry Women whisper to one another about who to avoid Everyone knows & nothing changes

It's this, basically.

The biggest difficulty for trans rights – the general public seems to believe the new guidance makes it possible to exclude eg trans women from women's services in some circumstances. No. This was the previous position. The current guidance requires their exclusion, always, regardless of context.

Le bingo macroniste est donc complet après ce passage en Gironde : année atypique, événements exceptionnels, qui aurait-pu prédire, moyens sans équivalent, aucune polémique possible, on va gagner, quel réchauffement climatique ?

Les statistiques 2026 des incendies deviennent complètement vertigineuses. Elles révèlent une réalité : malgré le travail remarquable des pompiers, la France ne met manifestement plus les moyens nécessaires pour faire face à l'évolution du risque incendie (face aux évolutions climatiques). 1/5

Pour rappel, vu que ça a beaucoup moins fait de bruit que d'autres lois liberticides, c'est une catastrophe pour les jeunes de tous les âges. Contrôle épistémique, privation de liberté, c'est vraiment horrible.

L’interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans adoptée au Sénat et à l’Assemblée nationale

And yet none of you will ever hate or abhor or ridicule straight men even half as much as you hate queers and trannies, even while claiming to bear no ill-will towards us. It makes me fucking nauseous.

Look the rotted carcass of manhood in its bloated, pustulent eye, and see that this is what you all have put on a pedestal and worshipped for all this time. Hating women, raping women---this is what men encourage each other to do, what men excuse, what men build their culture on.

It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.

5° Le troisième terme du débat, hors de mâchoires du piège est: pas un centime d'argent public pour un secteur privé de qualité médiocre, qui accumule les scandales, qui arnaque les familles. Aucune reconnaissance par l'Etat. Aucune mise en concurrence. Et le Hcéres doit être supprimé.
