“Er zijn meer dan 200 landen met de doodstraf om homoseksualiteit, maar jij wordt boos omdat er een Pridevlag in de HEMA hangt.” Alle en veel diepe lof aan Defano Holwijn.

Ik ben eens aan het oriënteren of ik mijn Klein Vaarbewijs (sws 1, misschien 2) wil gaan halen. Nu vroeg ik me af of dat goed te doen is met boek en oefenexamens of dat zo'n korte cursus aan te raden is. Op zich leer ik vrij makkelijk uit boeken, dus vandaar de vraag of het dan nodig is.

Just finished this painting! Light filtering through trees during a solar eclipse casts crescent shadows. This happens because the spaces between leaves functions like a bunch of pinhole cameras. ☀️

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.

A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.
