"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."

Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

A screenshot of a webpage FAQ section titled "Gender."
The first question asks: "Does the agreement place new restrictions on our transgender community? Does it dictate how members of our community identify themselves and their gender?"
The answer begins with text highlighted in yellow:
> "No. The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community. The University unequivocally supports all members of our community, including transgender students, faculty and staff. Members of our community have agency to choose how they identify themselves and the pronouns they use."
>
The answer continues with unhighlighted text:
> "Per the agreement, Northwestern will adhere to federal policies, including Title IX. That includes providing 'safe and fair opportunities for women, including single-sex housing for any woman, defined on the basis of sex, who requests such accommodations, and all-female sports, locker rooms and showering facilities.'"
>
A second question follows: "What has the University agreed to as it relates to transgender care?"
The answer reads:
> "The University and Feinberg School of Medicine have never performed gender-affirming surgeries for minors. Northwestern continues to support transgender members of our community."

We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

in this agreement, NU formally says it will define "sports, locker rooms, and showering facilities" by sex assigned at birth.

"Sex," "female," "male," "women," and "men" are defined in Executive Order 14168, Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Jan. 20, 2025), and related executive orders.

Northwestern will uphold its commitment to Title IX by providing safe and fair
opportunities for women, including single-sex housing for any woman, defined on the basis of sex, who requests such accommodations and all-female sports, locker rooms, and showering facilities.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 2d

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

i think scissorman in the clock tower video game is just what happens if you get a giant pair of scissors without the regulating power of mayorship, which helps you control and channel the powers of the giant scissors. even with this, many mayors still succumb to the corruption of the scissors

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE

sol rios

At 2pm and 2am. Sleep,

I remember you. Please, wait for me.

I send out 7 reminders to eat a day.

Like little paper lifeboats.

It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too.

I need company for my shot. 3ml of Estradiol over facetime.

I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up.

Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question.

I was going to sit in the bathtub until you responded.

And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday.

Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter.

In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade

in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you.

I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

@strigarosa.bsky.social

As people have started to wise up that the aesthetics of cozy are the aesthetics of current fascism, I have noticed a worrisome backlash of people wanting to ride it to connect anything they don't like to "cozy". Namely, things like calling something "cozyslop" just because it is not rapefic
