#Counterfire | Rights and Rulings

"The danger is that if we allow proclamations that this is the end of trans rights to go unchallenged, not only will trans people be made more anxious and isolated, but the perception will start to become the reality. The respect and dignity which trans people have won over the last decades could indeed be lost, not because of what the law says about single-sex spaces, but if the consensus becomes that this ruling means that trans people don’t deserve equality."

🚨Today, these words remain as profound and relevant as ever. When one person’s rights are at risk, it’s not just their battle—it’s a threat to the very fabric of justice and democracy we hold dear.

🗽Whether it’s advocating for racial equality, addressing social inequities, fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, or ensuring economic opportunity for all, we must all recognize the impact of our collective voice and action

I am genuinely scared by the Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act 2020 because I know it was supposed to be in relation to a very narrow complaint but I fear the shallow interpretation will be applied broadly by the govt & TERFs to try to push trans & non cis people out of existence in the same way that Trump is doing in Amerika

It's already difficult being non-cis on TERF island without the extra validation that hate towards anyone non-cis is OK

Two stories regarding the transgender community today:

In the U.K., the Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. @BBCNews has a live blog: flip.it/a-6ZWn

In the U.S., the Trump administration is suing the state of Maine in standoff over transgender athletes in women's sports. @abc has the latest: flip.it/d1EDwq

Wait, now @hetzner is anti queer? Most of my infra that's not running at home is running there.

Do I really need to start looking for a new provider now? Why can't we have nice things 😔

Trans friends. In the wake of the Scottish decision, Hungarian law changes, and the dangerous times in America I just want to say that I accept you for who you claim to be. I'm not trans, nor a woman, nor LGBT+.

But fuck off to those who want to deny the rights of others.

"DOJ ends a key racial discrimination case, signaling an end to the Civil Rights Division as it existed.

The lawsuit against the Mississippi state Senate alleged a brazen pattern of racial discrimination against a Black woman, but AAG Harmeet Dhillon ended the case."

A call to #universities:
"Apart from #security & #privacy concerns, our alternative-less reliance on #BigTech is fundamentally at odds with public values like #freedom, #independence, #autonomy and #equality. The #digitalservices we use for research and teaching are profoundly shaping our professional practices; the incorporation of #AItools (coPilot) in basic software (MSOffice365), substantially shape our teaching & research and hence impact our professional #autonomy."

idealist at heart

if you’re one of those people who believe that feminism is an antiquated concept — then this book is for you. if you believe the opposite, then this book is… also for you.

in 'the authority gap', mary ann sieghart studies the perceived difference in skills we (un?)consciously expect men to have more of than women.

with evidence-based arguments and illustrative anecdotes.

Mark Carney finally takes a public stance of gender affirming care. He will defend "all healthcare" for "all Canadians" and "without exception". That's pretty clear to me.

Who Owns Free Knowledge? 📚 💡
Last week, digital researchers and free knowledge practitioners came together at the Weizenbaum Institute to examine the power hierarchies embedded in free knowledge today, and to imagine a more just future of the commons. It was a wonderful conference, with @wikimediaDE full of enlightening thoughts and new questions.

@cendawanita I am not sure what the point of this post is, but I want to share my perspective. Please do not blame specific ethnic groups solely, but rather the politicians and political parties that use ethnicity as justification to gain votes at the cost of the well-being of other ethnicities. Malaysia is not a country at war, and if you are Malaysian, please remember the five national principles. Everybody deserves to be respected without discrimination or harm.
