Hi @libbybrooks.bsky.social. This part of what Stephenson said is a lie;
“where you are providing single-sex services, the supreme court has said those have to be on the basis of biological sex.”
Do you fact-check or interview trans people to put our case, at the Guardian?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.
We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

So rather than focusing on the voice we are now "seeing" words spoken by a face that doesn't belong to the voice.
