I guess you could say they… Buckled under the pressure 🎉

Excluding people based on sex at birth forces men into women’s sports and women into men’s sports.

For one, ones ability to express themselves through gender is just more natural than analyzing genomes and less awkward than genital groping to prove your sex.

Two, this wasn’t a 9-alarm fire till the start of the decade. Trans people and their involvement with sports have existed far longer than that. Plus if people wanted to give a damn about fairness in sports, there’s countless other discrepancies such as the (lack of) amount of funding and fanfare of women’s sports that basically are given to those typically driven by men’s sports. (Of which have no bearing of how well any athlete can do)

And three:

• Trans women are women
• Trans men are men And …
• Trans non-binary people exist that fall outside the groups above

This should be a society where in good faith, you can determine who you are. I would hate to live in a world where society tells you which box you belong in.

The second frame with the second arm? 🤔 Almost didn’t catch that.

It’s his leg and his jeans are green.

Permissions is my favorite cheese. I enjoy some on my pasta dinner every night I get the chance to. Some days Im like 750 with my permission, maybe even 755 when we got guests over, but when I’m feeling hungry i bring out the 700 permission cheese

You can do your part to lower your carbon footprint by eating the rich, who’s status quo has been forcibly thrust upon us and make transitioning to better solutions unfeasible both fiscally and systemically.

Good. Considering that they roll in billions, I have no sympathy for them.

I will not shed a tear at the death of the advertisement based internet. Or the horrible things that it has motivated companies to do to maximize advertisement revenue.

I do know how the Internet works. It used to work so much better. I know it can be much better because I lived it.

It was never free money. This ad based revenue model. That money came from the direct extraction of a social resource. It was a system that turned our labors of love, our very thoughts, our ability to express ourselves into a business venture. It gamified a system where it used our labor for their profit, their product.

These spaces belong to us, not the small handful of companies that aim to monopolize our internet. Federation is a great step in the right direction. And rather than fund sites by ad revenue, where they would be motivated to follow that engagement algorithm, we can have communities rewarded for supporting it’s own.

Money printers do not walk into your local supermarket and slap a big sticker with a big number for the price of bread.

The bread company, which sells your brand of bread made that decision. And they alone have that authority to dictate the price of their product.

Everywhere except New England that is. What a shame 😔
