woman on internet

@BriannaWu You are a man.

It is exhausting trying to talk to conservatives about trans public policy. You can describe something objectively horrifying - like the government forcing trans women in federal prison off HRT right now. For post-op women, that isn’t abstract. Our bodies don’t produce any hormones. Menopausal women produce some. You’re talking about forcing someone into a physical and psychological collapse where our bones are gonna shatter. It’s not policy disagreement. It’s cruelty. And when I say that, there’s no processing. No curiosity. Just a flat, almost proud indifference. Then in the same breath, you call me a man. To strip away my dignity while dismissing policies that will permanently damage people like me. I try very hard not to be reactive. But it’s difficult to stay calm when you’re being told, explicitly or implicitly, that your life doesn’t matter. You don’t get to treat people this way. Mock them, degrade them, deny medical reality - and then act surprised when they want nothing to do with you. This isn’t about politics. It’s about basic decency. And on this issue, the way you’re showing up is indecent.

@KirstiMiller30 @BrianBabblebrox @BenMclaine @Martina Nope.

@BrianBabblebrox @BenMclaine @Martina It was publicly stated Martina made straight girls & their mothers really 'uncomfortable' in female changing room. Those horrifically homophobic views no different to the exact same bogus claims against trans women today. Martina is a total hypocrite.

Just wondering about the discomfort @Martina possibly caused this young lady, and following this, others who may be in the same changing room as yourself? The point being discomfort is not necessarily due to a person's sex. (source in the pic, made UK National Press). @IndiaWilloughby Ball boys and girls (BBGs) at Wimbledon are typically in school Years 9 and 10, placing their age range between 14 and 19 years old, with the average age being 15.

@TransLucent_Org Start your own then for everyone if you're that upset.

After 72 years, Longwell Green Women's Institute closed. They are not alone WI branches nationwide have also closed because of the FWS v SGM judgment and 'lawfare' threats by gender-critical trans hostile groups. The UK is better than this. Change msn.com/en-gb/money/ot…

@georgeedwards44 @jimmythetwitt @JournalistJill Still men.

@jimmythetwitt @JournalistJill So close! They are women

Gender critical people like Janet believe that if a disabled woman asks for female only intimate care, she should expect a female to turn up. Not a man who says his name is Tracy. Why the hell does Scope, the disability charity, not support this view?

@tedsanders53 @glosswitch 🤣

@glosswitch It really is disappointingly poor. parkrun already gives men and women the same experience at parkrun. Try and be Clare Elms at Bethlem parkrun last Saturday & 'win' parkrun. Perhaps the 2nd place man complained. Or the 3rd place girl? or the 4th placed man? Perhaps they had fun?

What next? Women wanting the same stuff men get ALL THE TIME?

@Bennymalc @louismosley @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski Apparently 500,00 Britons medical data is for sale on a Chinese website. How could that happen?

@suze47 @louismosley @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski No, all data is on NHS servers. Palantir, just like Microsoft word or excel is software that is put in when a contract is signed or taken out if a contract expires. The data never leaves NHS servers.

Time to take the fight to Palantir.

@Bennymalc @louismosley @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski Sure. What if someone copies it and sells it to the highest bidder ala the DOGE criminals.

@louismosley @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski Is there any situation in which Palantir would be able to close off access to the data by the customer, NHS in this case or the US Government in another, and seize it for themselves? Is there a back door? If the customer should stop paying what would happen?

@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny: 1. It is a video. 2. You are wearing a jacket. 3. Then you aren’t. 4. Then you are again. Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends. A few corrections for you: Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.) We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing). We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing. There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event. Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale. We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now. We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story. I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now: ->110,000 additional operations ->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges ->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer Respect again for what you did with that jacket.

@tvzuke @nbcbayarea 😍Thank you!

Several Gray Whales spotted in the San Francisco Bay by @nbcbayarea chopper SkyRanger this afternoon!

@abettereconomy Sure. 🤣

Ever wondered why the US collects trillions in taxes yet still seems to be running on empty? What if there was a way to flip the script—a system where you pay significantly less while the government actually has more to invest in you? Introducing the Financial Freedom Plan. By shifting to a model where tax rates drop to less than 0.5%, we can drastically increase your take-home pay while generating enough revenue to wipe out the national debt and fully fund the services every American deserves.

@JaneCaro Nope.

Transphobia is absolutely anti-feminist. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@tom_nhs Can Palantir lock the NHS out of the system for any reason? Does the NHS trust have total control of access to the system? Are there any back doors?

I led the team that built the NHS Federated Data Platform. I've left NHS England and written down what I think the debate is getting wrong. bartlettdata.co.uk/post/blog-comi…

@TakedownMRAs @yarewe_sf Nope. Anything that prioritizes men's access to women's spaces is men's rights. Even if they've castrated themselves and have a seeping wound. Or not.

@suze47 @yarewe_sf lol, Men's Rights Activists are on your side, along with the rest of the far right. That's why every feminist, LGBTQI, and human rights group called you goons out and anti-fascists keep showing up to protest you 😂

Scott Weiner, candidate for Nancy Pelosi's U.S. congressional seat, throws a "LBGTQ+" fundraiser: x.com/ichinita310/st… and... 1) apparently, forgets to invite women...not even lesbian or bi-sexual women 2) Surrounds himself with scantily clothed young men,

@Ash_Lee_IRL Nope. Mens always.

@DerryBanShee @amydiehl @MoiraDonegan You know why, you're just prioritizing men over women. Men will mostly win, women in the mens category won't be at the Olympics.

There is no need to sex-test people trying to compete in men’s sport, @amydiehl It’s the women’s category that has to be restricted to women only. The reason, btw, is because an average man who has NO CHANCE in the men’s category can be a winner, a champion, an Olympian, in the women’s. He can win prize money he’d never have got in the men’s.

The requirement that women– not men–have their sex monitored, tested & proven legitimizes the distorted fantasy that men are trying to pass as women to win women’s sports competitions(why would they when female athletes are paid so much less?)@MoiraDonegan theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@aeonsavi Pee in the mens. Also sterilization is not routine. Moisturizer is.

Hi Joanne, it’s Saví 😊 We haven’t met yet, we should be friends If we were friends I could tell you legislation has eliminated or reduced our ability to get the same care you routinely use on your face We also can’t pee in peace like everyone else, that’s a problem girl

@TakedownMRAs @yarewe_sf Men's right activists advocate for men to take over women's sports, prisons, bathrooms and all other formerly women's single sex spaces. Scott has succeeded in doing this in California.

@suze47 @yarewe_sf lol, Men's Rights Activists are on your side, along with the rest of the far right. That's why every feminist, LGBTQI, and human rights group called you goons out and anti-fascists keep showing up to protest you 😂

@Scott_Wiener It would have turned into one more way to grift off the city. Did you even have any plans on how to manage it? I loathe PG&E but I have no faith in SF to run a utility given how much is stolen by the NGO's who keep getting city contracts even after being exposed as criminals.

My bill to un-rig the process for San Francisco & other cities to break up with PG&E & form a publicly owned utility — after passing its first committee last week — was voted down in the Senate Energy Committee yesterday in the face of a tidal wave pressure campaign by PG&E & its union. PG&E, directly & through its union, has extraordinary power in the Capitol. Most people never expected SB 875 would even get a hearing, and it’s unprecedented in recent memory that we were able to pass this bill even through its first committee. I am so grateful to my colleagues who stood up to PG&E’s pressure & voted to give cities a fair process to be able to take their energy future into their own hands. San Francisco has been fighting for decades to extract itself from PG&E’s handcuffs, to lower energy costs & to improve reliability. While yesterday was a setback, the fight continues. We won’t give up.

@ZackPolanski Have you expressed any regret for the violence targeting synagogues and churches?

Really horrible to see the Mosque targeted like this. The rising toxicity of so many politicians & commentators has consequences & it's important we challenge the increasing hostile environment in our public life whether that's Islamophobia, Antisemitism and all acts of hate.
