@queerasfact.bsky.social will make their own best pronoun interpretation of the evidence and @badgayspod.bsky.social will sometimes make a different one! It's the TERFy bioessentialism piece of the quoted's strawman post where one 'side' goes wrong. History and gender is rarely so cut and dry.

I would be willing to bet that in many of the jurisdictions where Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly engaged in sex trafficking, law enforcement was getting these trafficking grants and doing these trafficking trainings, for years

More than 100,000 people marched in Hungary’s annual Pride parade in Budapest on Saturday after Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ban on the event backfired, turning what is usually a low-key parade into a mass rally against his government. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/w...

A bridge is packed with people, with scattered pride flags in the crowd. A headline reads: "Budapest Pride Parade Was Bigger Than Ever, Despite Government Ban." Photo by Janos Kummer/Getty Images.
