Here mostly to listen. Still figuring out how to describe myself these days.
The second half of this offers a quick & informative explanation, if you’re feeling a little lost & confused.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre doesn't seem to think nonbinary people exist.

Um, they do. Poilievre saying this won't change that.

But it will make life harder for them, all while disinforming a public that might have otherwise been accepting and open-minded.

Let's talk about it:

And for the record, the government "minding its own business" would include letting trans people pee and get changed in peace (which Poilievre is refusing to do)

Blows my mind how these guys just pretend massive groups of people don’t exist and then jerk off to one another “owning the wokes” by…being an idiot and putting feelings above facts

Poilievre has never heard of nonbinary people? Two-spirit people?

On the sex side, intersex people

Even if Elon Musk‘s thought process while moving his arm in the manner of a Nazi salute multiple times is unknowable to anyone other than Elon Musk, it‘s also true nearly 24 hours have passed and he has not bothered to offer any explanation for why his arm did Nazi salutes multiple times

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

As a former teacher, I could have told you something like RedNote would happen. Honestly, what else did you expect?

Leading is about collaboration, folks. And building healthy relationships. Not taking things away for obscure/dishonest reasons.

Pardon me while I sit back and laugh a little.
