Something I think a lot of Americans are going to have to struggle with over the next few years is that the rest of the world really does hate you.
Like, you've rarely been popular, but you were able to coast on a shared cultural hegemony. Now you're *just* purveyors of global fascism.

...I've started to call the latter "anti-GACxers" (pronounced similarly to anti-vaxxers) to emphasize these connections. not sure it will ever catch on, but it's way more clear to audiences what their actual agenda is than calling them "gender critical" or "TERFs"

With all the horrible news coming out of the UK I would just like to reiterate that the President of Ireland celebrated Trans Day of Remembrance, and the Irish minister for health, the not particularly leftwing Jennifer Carroll McNeill, has spoken against the UK's cruel treatment of trans people.

Sex assigned at birth does NOT vindicate any biological standard for being a female or male!
Sex assigned at birth is based on phenotypic sex traits. Which is the same criteria trans people use.

Dawkins: “As long as we aren’t sterilising people, Eugenics is good actually. “ 🤷😡
2. Focusing on the where I said scientists & others believed in "some form of eugenics." That's key to another problem with OPs post. Eugenicists had a WIDE spectrum of eugenic beliefs & often disagreed! Some eugenicists believed in OPs version: forced & coerced sterilization.
