Taking a moment to note that the business in question also sells corsets (not that there's anything wrong with that) and didn't get a letter about that, lest anyone think there's any chance this is about actual safety concerns and not about the sex binary being something that needs active enforcing.
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.

We all know that sex is an immutable biological reality and not a social construct, which is why social institutions are always intervening to actively enforce biological sex differences.
Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.
Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class.
If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class.
Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

Hey, Sooz is a fierce fighter for trans rights, and she needs to have surgery that will keep her from performing for at least six weeks. If you're going to be in London later this month, please put up a few pounds to giver her a financial cushion for recovery.
Less than two weeks until my one-off fundraiser and I am bananas excited coz I'll be debuting the most insane dress I have ever owned. It was £450 new and I got it on Vinted last month for £36 AND I've got shoes that match already.

important to note that this insane poppers lie is an AIDS denial conspiracy dating back to the early 1980s, when people were trying to find a way to blame AIDS on the actions of gay people to blame them for the pandemic.
“The recent enforcement actions have drawn scrutiny because the FDA operates under the Department of Health and Human Services, now led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has repeatedly promoted the scientifically disproven claim that poppers — rather than HIV — caused AIDS.”
Arizona Republicans are trying to make having poppers a felony.
They are starting an entire new war on drugs just to target queer people for incarceration. Who is this helping, exactly?

"Fact check everything first" says some dumbass Labour supporter denying, or oblivious to, the genuine harms and policies of Keir Starmer and his government, and also believes he is going to rejoin the EU
I suggest you do your research. Starmer is poles apart from farage. Your views is what the media wants you to believe. Fact check everything first. Starmer is playing the long game he and his government are working hard to rectify abuse from the tories. Why do you think there is bad publicity?

To be clear: Farage is a creature of the press, not a political mastermind. His star rises and falls entirely based on his use to the world's most toxic press. They could pull him completely apart in a week if they wanted to, but they don't.
Sure Jan.
As a domestic politics side-note, the madder Donald Trump gets (and it’s seemingly a one-way process) then the more awkward things become for Nigel Farage. One of the facts many UK voters know about him is his fondness for, and supposed closeness to, the US president.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later.
