Sports bans are about getting you to agree that trans women are not equal to cis women and that they are something dangerous, to be feared, something invasive, something other that needs to be stopped. It’s about villainization. The science doesn’t support it. It’s 100% feels based scaremongering. If you think, “I’m a progressive person but it’s about fairness” or whatever the fuck, you’re being duped. You’re a mark and you’re enabling genocide

#DSGVO & Transidentität: Der #EuGH urteilt, dass Behörden nachweislich falsche Daten zur Geschlechtsidentität korrigieren müssen, ohne eine geschlechtsangleichende OP zu verlangen, da dies Grundrechte verletzen würde.
Pressemitteilung: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2025-03/cp250034de.pdf
@privacyDE: „Das Urteil wird auch auf andere Verfahren Auswirkungen haben. Es stellt klar, dass Richtigkeit & Vollständigkeit personenbezogener Daten stets im Hinblick auf den Zweck der Verarbeitung zu beurteilen sind.“
Eigentlich wäre die Nachricht ja nicht "Grüne blockieren Finanzpaket" sondern: "CDU und SPD finden keine Mehrheit für ihr Finanzpaket, nachdem sie sich kein bisschen bemüht haben, eine zu suchen". #Sondervermögen
So ein Satz darf einfach in keinem von der #SPD mitunterschriebenen Papier stehen. Punkt.
"Bei Menschen, die arbeiten können und wiederholt zumutbare Arbeit verweigern, wird ein vollständiger Leistungsentzug vorgenommen."
If you're bald and you got a hair transplant, that's gender-affirming care. If you got a flat ass and you got a BBL, that's gender-affirming care. If you got a boob job or lip fillers, that's gender-affirming care.
Gender-affirming care is not limited to trans people. Everyone who feels the need to affirm their gender identity and expression through medical procedures receive gender-affirming care.
Antifeminist*innen versuchen uns zu spalten. Aber wir wissen: Feminismus und der Kampf für ein gutes Leben gehen nur gemeinsam. Als Linke kämpfen wir für gleiche Rechte, Schutz vor Gewalt und Diskriminierung für alle Frauen*. Wir verteidigen die Rechte von Frauen und von LGTBIQ+ an jedem Tag, nicht nur am 8. März.

„Mädchen“ ist eine Zuschreibung, die das Neugeborene in eine bereits vorhandene symbolische Ordnung einfügt. https://taz.de/Geschlecht-und-Identitaet/!6065954/

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:
• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t
Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.
I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.
Yes! My #emacs init file is finally my own. Brought over the last few modules from the crafted-emacs config over to my own setup. Feels so good to have a complete overview over everything emacs in one location :-) Extremely grateful to the #systemcrafters community and @daviwil for making the emacs transition so much easier for me, especially on the focus on creating a config that is _supposed_ to be superseded by a personal config when you get more experienced...
Thank you for 140 follows over the first day! 😯
Here's a question to get warmed up: how are you planning to use Encyclia? Assuming you could follow whatever ORCID record(s) you wanted, which ones are you interested in having in your feed?
Feel free to explain or add other ideas in the replies as well.
If opting out of the Internet of Surveillance somehow stunts my growth, I’m directionally okay with that.
I don’t need a weather app to tell me if it’s raining.
And I don’t need Google Analytics to tell me if people are reading.

Mozilla have published an update to this:
> "UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice."
I want to break this down.

I've been pretty comfortable in what others have delineated as "queer mastodon" for years now. I don't see most of the behaviors people decry about "tech mastodon", despite talking about technology with other people that are also interested in technology. But the same reciprocal attitude of respect permeates our interactions.
But then, once a week or so, one of my posts will reach escape velocity and a bunch of strangers will flood my mentions with arrogance or needless hostility. And then I'm like, "Oh, this must be what other folks (often from different marginalized groups than myself) mean when they say Mastodon has a ____ problem."
So I'd just like to thank everyone that I interact with for not being jerks all the time.
That goes especially to the folks that moderate the instances I mostly interact with. Whatever volumes of bullshit y'all deal with, you've managed to curate healthy environments. It makes a difference.
