Why Suffragists Helped Send Women Doctors to WWI's Front LinesDoctors of the Women's Oversea Hospitals Unit operated under bomb and gas attacks. And their all-female support teams built new hospitals — even the coffins.#WomensHistoryMonth https://www.history.com/news/wwi-women-doctors-suffragists-france

Oh lovely! A women's book prize has pushed a woman off of the long list by selecting a trans-identifed man for his awful book. Said book compares having sex with someone with HIV to women's fear or becoming pregnant (the author clearly has brainworms). 🤬It was bad enough when they had a non-binary woman who denied she was actually a woman on the list, but this person is a MAN.https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/mar/10/first-trans-woman-makes-womens-prize-longlist-alongside-dawn-french-and-ali-smith

"We had no idea!" but also "We put in protections weeks ago." Which is it? Does this mean that he won't be an admin of any groups anymore, like the Among Us one, for a game popular with kids? Will they be reviewing any of their other recent hires' backgrounds? 😠 @Lilitu

Reddit has always been a cesspit, but they're really leaning into it now. I wonder if he only reason they booted him was because they want to go public and were worried about bad publicity.@Lilitu

It seems like a good time to repost this video from Karen Davis on "black birthing bodies" and other dehumanizing, regressive, misogynistic language being used to reduce women to our body parts or bodily functions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-TVPQlhEPM

I was wondering the same thing myself, but most of what I was able to find or that others shared with me was about early child development. From what I recall, girls tend to become able to distinguish sex of others slightly earlier than boys. But in terms of refining beyond that, I'm not sure. I agree with you that there must be something that would make women refine those abilities. Like even that we are socialized to pay more attention to other people and their feelings, and then being taught to be wary of strangers, especially men. Here's a post I made on Ovarit about this a few months ago, with some studies linked in my post and the comments:https://ovarit.com/o/GenderCritical/17720/seeking-research-on-our-ability-to-detect-another-person-s-sex@Nicotiana

He's a sexist, racist, thin-skinned, smarmy, religious white man who wants to maintain the status quo. Just check out the comments to see what his true audience is like. Men saying rape is natural and that women are always making false rape charges, and that feminism is evil and should be destroyed.@Li_Chi

Funny, she doesn't seem to mind that her publisher posted reviews (for her previous book) that misgender her on their web site: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/bitch-doctrine-9781408881583/But I guess it's ok if the Financial Times and Irvine Welsh use the correct pronouns...

My main Twitter account got permanently suspended today, because I called out a man who described all children as being "queer" and who thought they should have access to sexual content at a young age. And yet I'm the one who got suspended, for "hateful conduct." Totally normal and fine world we're living in.

Whoa! Twitter actually unsuspended my account! It only took 6 appeals :P The guy who called children "queer" and wanted them to have access to sexual content is still there, all tweets still in place.

@Ladyfat Perhaps he means that encountering an AGP like him will make anyone not want to ever have sex again?😅
