And we dont use genotypic sex to assign sex at birth we use phenotypic sex.
So try again.

Top marks to @PureGym for a very clear, concise, changing rooms policy.
“We provide a range of changing facilities for our users. We provide in all gyms:
1. a. separate-sex communal changing rooms (based on biological sex); and b. an individual use, accessible, gender-neutral changing room.
2. The separate-sex communal changing rooms are designated for use by individuals according to their biological sex.”
And that’s it. Something for everyone. Well done Pure Gym for not making it any more complicated than it needed to be.
English
@HilllbillyHugs @WomensRightsNet @PureGym There is, some people just like to pretend it's been updated to be more "inclusive" but it hasn't. Gender isn't Sex and Sex isn't Gender
English
@WomensRightsNet @PureGym Problem is theirs not a single definition of biological sex.

super funny that microsoft had a strong brand like 'office' and some mbas decided that 'microsoft 365' and 'copilot' should replace it

@sometherapist Do you have to pay for it? Why not just go volunteer with the Mennonites?

There's a college in rural southern California where students can go through a two year digital detox, work on a ranch doing lots of physical labor, study in small groups with peers, deepen their attention spans, and earn a transfer degree for free.

why is gentrification considered “bad”, it makes areas much nicer with better shops and friendlier people

Nearly 50% of ppl do NOT have internal monologue. Once I found this out, everything made more sense. Ppl aren’t even THINKING
That Rabbit Guy@Son_ImSleep
A lot of people need direction, I’d say majority, free thinking isn’t a majority trait, most people you come across will always need to be told what to do

@notforyou74656 There were too few eyes on this show, end of story
English
This. For a franchise based on “to boldly go where no one has gone before” a lot of Trekkies seem to hate the future & new life & new civilizations, preferring only more of the past & what we’ve already seen. I’ll never understand it.

Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.
English
@ArtistCyclist "just build a new culture and infrastructure"...yeah I'll get right on that
English
Car-centric design is simply a man-made construct. We can just as easily build a new culture and infrastructure centred around people, healthly living and the environment. Everywhere I've visited that has implemented and embraced these changes has been a wonderful place to be.
English
@fandompulse Yes. Maybe you can get new fans for the man with a pet bat, but if nobody is clamoring for that show then probably not

Neil Gaiman on why fans abandon popular franchises:
"The fan base are fans. And they like the source material because it's the source material they like. So if you do something else, you risk alienating the fans on a monumental scale. It's not Batman if he's now a news reporter in a yellow trenchcoat with a pet bat."
Do you agree with him?
English
During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

@WomenAreReals @KDansky @WDI_USA @WomensLibFront @SashaAguilar69 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @MBellBrown @SophiaSLorey @ErinFriday75490 @marli_ca Sex and gender are different. I was beat over the head with that at one time.

Just when you think CA couldn’t go further…
Asm. Pacheco has authored AB 2563 which redefines “sex discrimination” across 29 state codes.
It would become an act of discrimination to deny a 12 year-old a mastectomy or a male rapist access to women’s prison
1st Hearing: April 7

JUST NOW: California State Assembly votes in favor 68-0 of AB 2156 to rename “Cesar Chavez Day” to “Farmworkers Day.”

@djairrick Nah. There wasn't an audience for this show. I think there are still people in the industry who know what people want to see, we'll just have to wait for some of them to come up with a new iteration. I won't mind a loooong break though, time to get the stink off and what not.
English
So what I think this signals, if they dont pick anything up in the next few months it that Star Trek cannot move past its nostalgia audience. That means once they are gone, so is Star Trek as culturally relevant. Congrats internet fools, you did this!

EXCLUSIVE: “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will end with its upcoming second season. The show failed to find a significant audience, not ranking on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming viewership charts at any point during its 10-episode first season. wp.me/pc8uak-1lH3kQ

🔥🔥🔥I’m at JFK and I was on the train leaving a whole bunch of TSA officers and they were bitching about having these ICE guys standing around doing nothing while they’re working their asses off and not getting paid! They are really really really mad and they’re not blaming the Democrats

@Hitchslap1 It's all self defeating too. The higher IQ folks leave Africa and the rest are left to fend for themselves. It's a shame more people don't stay and get that place sorted.
English
The answer is positive selection from the right tail of the IQ distribution.
Immigrants who migrate from their home country are not a random sample of the origin population.
Magatte Wade@magattew
Every time someone shoves that IQ map of Africa in my face, I have one question: If we're so stupid, why do we become doctors, entrepreneurs, and engineers the second we get to a free country?

@VinnieSull1van @Lost___London @BygoneBritain More the students learn about architecture and its last 100 years history, more they recline to brutalism.

No amount of babble will ever convince me that today's architects aren't competing over who can create the most disgusting building.

The funniest part of the Starfleet Academy discourse was this: modern shows never fail on their own merits. It's always trolls. Always review bombers. Never the show.
