Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

What does it mean, if the national equality body aggressively pursues discrimination; if the energy regulator rubber-stamps huge price hikes; if the water authority does nothing about shit in the rivers and the press regulator occasionally ticks off a newspaper? What is the purpose of “regulation”.
I was concerned that Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson might try and be smarter about transphobia than her predecessors and leave trans people in a shit place than was harder to rectify because it wasn’t so obvious.
Today dispelled those worries.
Labour have appointed a second raving bigot to run the EHRC.

'Biological' male or female used for trans+ people is misgendering and not neutral, it's a slur. It doesn't matter if a judge said it.
Media folk using it are doing a similar thing to interviewing racists and not just repeating their slurs in quotes but adopting them themselves.
It needs to stop

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

For Halloween I'd love to gift one of my followers on here a free copy of my new book, The Notwitches: Prison Break, signed by me and Dotty Sutton. If you fancy it, just like this post (and follow me if you don't already). Shares very much appreciated, obvs. UK-based people only, I'm afraid.

It costs the UK state approx £1.5M to investigate one suicide.
It costs approx £1.5M to fund one mid sized gender service.
Investigating one trans suicide each year costs more than providing life saving healthcare for hundreds of trans people every year.
Transphobia is a political choice.
