Human rights activists storm the stage and disrupt the UN’s “AI for Good” summit to call out big tech’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

I recognise that this opinion may cut against the grain for the "everything is better when girls" contingent of this blog's followership, but I feel like making the action-adventure protagonist's obligatory tutorial/exposition-providing bratty little fairy companion a boy is underexplored territory.

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

(I think both the protest and the platform were appropriate. There is no argument that AI isn’t playing a part in the current genocidal conflict being enacted by the nation of Israel in the Gaza war. Hopefully some people who have not thought about their role in enabling this will do so.)

BREAKING: as Thomas Gürber, Swiss Deputy State Secretary of Foreign Affairs, spoke, two actionists — one of whom is my colleague @crimew.gay — walked on stage with a sign that said "no tech for genocide."

they chanted: "no tech for genocide / you are all complicit" and "free, free Palestine."

PROVOKE AND PUBLICISE

Tomorrow in the Houses of Parliament the transphobes will attempt a “Provoke & Publicise” action. Provoke and Publicise was originally developed as a tactic by racist segregationists in US states like Alabama & Oklahoma to try and stop the civil rights movement there…

I’m going along to this.

It’s really important we show MPs just how many of us feel strongly about trans rights.

If you’re free between 1 and 4pm tomorrow and can get to London, you should come along too.

This is a good observation and remains relevant to transmisogyny today.

The underlying character of gay men’s oppression is ultimately one of feminization.

RIP Edmund White--from his excellent 1979 call for solidarity between gays and "drags" (transvestites and transsexuals)

"By placing drags in a respected position within the movement, gays will have elevated and defended what straight society most despises in all homosexuals."

I think that lesbians and gays should take a similar stand on drags. To accept transvestites is not only humane but also tactically wise. All of the objections that straights and gays might have to drags are merely condensed and heightened objections to male homosexuality. A survey of straights published in the Journal of Homosexuality revealed that most straight people do not object to sex between two adult men. What they dislike is self-definition as homosexual. Coming out of the closet is what riles straight people; you will recall that even Anita Bryant does not object to teachers being gay, she simply does not want them to announce they are gay. Once someone comes out of the closet, once a gay man defines himself socially as gay, then he becomes disturbing. Avowedly gay men, as the survey revealed, are perceived by straight society as women. The anger against gay men (and it is much stronger than that against gay women) arises from the fact that gay men are seen as deliberately and perversely renouncing their prerogatives as men and accepting the lower status of women. Because gay men are perceived as choosing to be women — that is, inferior — they arouse scorn, fear, and confusion.

These are the same feelings that drags awaken in everyone, of course. Drags have become the new “queers” of gay life. For that reason, our reactions to them are a sure index of our own homophobia. By embracing drags, lesbians, and especially gay men will take a step towards self-acceptance. By placing drags in a respected position within the movement, gays will have elevated and defended what straight society most despises in all homosexuals. ■

They're idiots. Every single one of them is thicker than pigshit.

You have to be to believe what they believe.

I actually didn't believe this quote was real at first.

The Herald @heraldscotland.bsky.social · Jun 1

Asked about concerns her bill could drive prostitution to an unregulated and underground system, she said: "If you even think for one second, you cannot possibly drive prostitution underground.

"If you had a lot of women in underground cellars with a locked door, how would the punters get to them?"

MY BOOKS ABOUT TRANS WOMEN

HOW TO FLY from WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN

Max moves with his family from New York to California to start again. And Taylor, newly crowned captain of the cheer squad, sees someone with potential.

mybook.to/HOWTOFLY
alysongreaves.itch.io/how-to-fly
books2read.com/u/47LXBN

Cover for HOW TO FLY: a woman reaching for the sky, neon-lit.

Max is a gymnast who can no longer pursue his passion. Taylor is a cheerleader with passion to spare.

A brutal attack put an end to Maxwell Giordano’s gymnastics career and ruined his junior year. So he and his family moved across the country for a fresh start, and now all he wants is to keep his head down and graduate in peace with the rest of the class of 2004.

Taylor Scott made cheer captain! And her greatest dream is to take the squad to regionals. Maybe even nationals! Except none of the other cheerleaders share her ambition, so she’s resigned herself to another year of cheering for the worst football team in the state.

And then a new boy moves in next door, and he’s everything she’s been dreaming of! If she can just convince him to join the squad, the two of them could take it all the way. But complications loom: Taylor’s jealous boyfriend, Max’s overprotective family, and then there’s the small matter of Max’s current gender…
