@shrikefliesfree Good question. I don't know. I didn't think we had hate crime legislation in the US at all. Or it has be very direct and credible threats.

@sunspot The article kind of says it's both a felony and a misdemeanor. It's confusing. I think they're going to argue that "TERFs" are "anti-lgbtq+" forced-teaming trans onto the gays to imply it's a homophobic movement.@shrikefliesfree

A pretty interesting 2016 New Yorker article on human breast milk research - how it fights diseases, including HIV, by building gut health.https://web.archive.org/web/20210410111635/https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/breast-feeding-the-microbiome

@LostInCalifornia I like that she holds the news media accountable.'"I feel like it’s my job to lift up this issue as best I can. And hopefully, the folks who are writing the news, and broadcasting the news will understand that these women are also friends, neighbors, classmates and work colleagues,″ she said.'

@LostInCalifornia CNN reporting how CNN has failed to notice all these dead black people is rich.The media outlets were getting some pushback on that ongoing hypocrisy. I guess it hasn't sunk in for some of them.Focusing on a particular case of a missing indigenous person, at least one at a time for a while, would probably be a good idea to get more people invested. I think what's going on with indigenous women is probably a more systemic issue that needs to be investigated.

@LaylaAlexandrovna Maybe we keep Latin America fucked up with the drug war and other crap policies so we can get their cheap labor.

Judith Butler: Enough Already!LAMA ABU-ODEH - 12 SEP 2021"Perhaps it is terrifying for the subversive professor of the ‘90s to realize she is now in power? ... If power was everywhere, as Butler, per Foucault, had theorized, and Butler was now in power, then surely rebellion against it is not just what the theory foretold, but the same virtue would have to be attached to it.""Far from being apostles of revolution, those academics provide the most articulate apologetics for the contemporary war of the elites on the working class."https://quillette.com/2021/09/12/judith-butler-enough-already/

@Hollahollara There are old daguerreotype photos of male platonic friends together where they're touchy-feely like this. Physical affection used to be more normalized between men. I wonder if Russian men still kiss each other on the mouth. @sub_aetha

@FemaleIsNotAFeeling The "genital preferences" argument doesn't eradicate anybody's right and ability to be unattracted to somebody and say no, despite its obvious goal being otherwise. I understand how young women can be coerced due to their social circle and other factors, but I've been heterosexual all my life and I wouldn't go near anybody with a "ladydick." Not to toot my own horn or anything.A lot of males are conditioned to try to get anything they can out of any available female. Females who've been starting to do this, including but not limited to TIFs, I think are trying to access male privilege by emulating male typical behavior.@Radfemmery @Fullycaffeinated @leznotless @sleepwalker

@WLRN "According to Pettersen, threats have been made against her in local neighborhood Facebook groups including one local man encouraging others to "just beat her up yourself." A community garden where she volunteers has also been vandalized twice by trans activists since July. Pettersen says she plans to continue to fight back against this harassment."Sounds like she might have grounds to file charges herself.My feelings are kind of mixed. I'm glad she was spared the expense and pain in the ass of further court proceedings, and I love the first amendment. On the other hand I was kind of hoping to see the case argued.

@FemaleIsNotAFeeling I wanted to see someone try to argue that "TERF" intimidates LGBTQ2S+ with all the evidence it's a slur going the other way. Or try to make the case that the definition of woman is a hateful threat. I think they would have gotten creamed and stopped with this sort of nonsense altogether.@WLRN
