5. But RSU 19 and many of the other institutions on the list are in states with robust equal rights protections for trans people, which would in theory penalize academic institutions for discriminating against their transgender athletes.

Jacob Frey: “We have seen consistent unconstitutional practice by ICE discriminating only on the basis of - are you Latino, are you Somali - & then indiscriminate pickups thereafter — ppl are walking around on the street with their passports. That's not American. That's the furthest thing from it”

A follow-up to the original ICE article, in which I talk about the DHS's response to the article and why it's so ridiculous

I also take on the "why are you mad that ICE isn't discriminating against lefties" cope, amongst other things
DHS Accused Me of a “Lazy Lie.” They’re Lying. Here’s the Proof.
The Trump administration is claiming the viral Story of my ICE Job offer is a lie. Good thing I kept the receipts.

It's Wednesday in the House and two anti-choice bills are expected to be introduced today. First is the Supporting Pregnant & Parenting Women and Families Act, which would ban states from 'discriminating' against crisis pregnancy centers when awarding family and child welfare grants.

The social concept of discriminating against a group of people by signaling them out for unique treatment is essential to what data *does*, for every aspect of the world. Data allows us to discriminate a pattern for unique treatment. The datafication of people is necessarily socially discriminatory.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 17 QueerAF: Darlington Nurses tribunal exonerates trans woman for using women's changing area after 8 cis nurses claimed this was harassment & discriminating against them...but it ruled NHS *did* discriminate against & harass them by allowing her to do so. WTF :-{
Darlington Nurses not harassed by trans colleague but trans women in single-sex spaces "violates dignity", court rules
The court ruled the NHS trust did indirectly discriminate against and harass the nurses by allowing Trans+ people to use single sex spaces

Oh absolutely! I'm a cis dude and I'd STILL answer "fuck you for asking".

If they're trying to make sure they're not discriminating, this is a TERRIBLE way to ask the question.

And there's ZERO reason to believe that they're trying to prevent bias.

I think the founders, owners, and C-levels are now majority on the side of the right-wing's culture war and this is them discriminating against a demographic they personally don't like (rather than anything strictly profit-motivated or otherwise practical).

I know I probably don't need to say it, but if you think in any way, shape or form that their is justification for discriminating against transgender people, excluding them from public life or services or living their lives the same as anyone else you can get fucked.

Discriminating against your trans customers won’t stop you from being sued 👇🏻
Virgin Active decided to restrict changing room access based on 'biological sex'. We're acting for, and financially supporting, a non-binary transmasculine person and a trans woman who are suing it for breaching the Equality Act.

We've published the Letter Before Action.
We’re suing Virgin Active over their transphobic rules | Good Law Project
Last summer Virgin Active banned trans people from bathrooms and changing rooms across the UK – so we’re taking them to court

Yeah … segregating lesbians from straight women apparently wouldn’t fall foul. I do worry about a comparable argument to Darlington nurses : lesbians and straights changing together is indirectly discriminating against straights, separate provision for lesbians isn’t *per se* illegal discrimination

Suddenly, the right doesn't care about "states rights." They invoke it when convenient, and dismiss it when discriminating against trans people is on the table.

Bessent has totally sold out. He no longer thinks independently. He is simply another mouthpiece for Trump.

For some reason I expect a gay man, who has had to stand up for himself, to not sell out to a deranged narcissistic dictator. But perhaps I am discriminating.

This was, of course, after Don da Con paid a HUUUUUGE fine for discriminating and refusing to rent to financially-qualified Black applicants!

Absolutely correct. The most sophisticated, affluent and mobile immigrants have the means also to be the most far-sighted and discriminating. Who moves their privileged, highly educated upper middle class family to a xenophobic shithole?🤔

As I've gotten older there is a part of me that has become more discriminating in what I consume (and infinitely less tolerant of fanservice involving teenage characters) but there's still part of me that, when I go in an anime shop, just gets overwhelmed by all the bright colours and big eyes

Had to put it on my Amazon wishlist because Throne doesn’t allow “anal” or “vibrating” on their site …

… I’m so tired of all these sites profiting and then discriminating against sex workers …

They have an anal version?!

He'll try to flip anything/everything. To ever call the white male a victim is more than ironical. If they didn't discriminate against all other races & women, initiatives like D.E.I. or E.E.O.C. would never have been necessary. No one's discriminating against them, and never have.
Donald Trump is a racist. Period.

(And he's also one of the whiniest, pathetic people to ever hold public office.)

now notice... there is a MARKED difference between the hydration of the lower 3 inches of my head and the upper 2.5

I believe the facial mask industry is discriminating against people with Large foreheads

What are the glaring red flags about this regime?
A secret service military funded better than any law enforcement on the planet. Red flag?
Discriminating against brown people. Red Flag?
Discriminating against Liberals. Red Flag?
Covering up mudars. Red flag?
ending social services. Red Flag?

She brings decades of experience that will be vital in protecting health insurance access for families, lowering auto insurance prices, holding prescription middlemen who drive up prices accountable, and cracking down on anyone discriminating in mortgage and business lending.
