As a cis woman with short hair whose favorite outfit is a T-shirt and men’s jeans (they’re cheaper, more durable, and have POCKETS!) I’ve already had the ‘pleasure’ of anti-trans bigots trying to protect women from women like me.
Anti-trans bigotry simply misogyny. Always has been. Always will be.
Anti-trans bigotry simply misogyny. Always has been. Always will be.
If the EHRC had their way we'd see all women forced back into wearing only skirts and dresses and wearing their hair long lest they be suspected of being trans and banned from going to the toilet.
That's what this is suggesting. Masculine women being denied access alongside trans people.
That's what this is suggesting. Masculine women being denied access alongside trans people.
![The guidance said that if transgender people are excluded from a space, organisations should consider whether there is a suitable alternative for them and that it would not be proportionate to leave them without essential services, such as access to lavatories.
But it also outlines how in some cases that may not be possible owing to the physical constraints of buildings or high costs. It said: “It may be that offering alternative arrangements is not reasonably possible […] this may be because of the type of service being provided, the needs of the service users, the physical constraints of any building, or because of the disproportionate financial costs associated with making those arrangements.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:movr4wsu2du5xbmeragyr5cx/bafkreigp3qse73rzhl2czgxgbmpzectwrb4hdwxk44fm52m7l7cu36mwaa@jpeg)

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely.
Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.
