The implications of this bill for transgender teachers and students in South Carolina are profound. Teachers would be forced to change their titles to those of their assigned sex at birth. Likewise, teachers would be forced to “out” themselves as transgender if they wished to stay in compliance with the law.

Moreover, students would receive instruction portraying transgender identity as “incorrect” or “false,” severely impacting transgender students’ well-being.

When responding to the bill, a local pediatrician, Dr. Michael O’Brien, offered the bill’s sponsor his insight into the bill, stating that it is a “cruel bill designed specifically to harm trans South Carolinians” and offering to discuss the bill with him.

Representative Pace responded by telling him that it is “cruel” to affirm transgender people and that instead, he should “repent” and hope that the “lord shows [him] mercy.”

This is not the first time Representative Pace has weaponized the powers of the state against transgender people. Previously, Representative Pace announced that his caucus successfully shut down the Medical University of South Carolina’s gender clinic for trans youth.

New pronoun controversy just dropped

My proposal involves changing how text is encoded, re-thinking the basic technology of a string of characters. If we can differentiate human- and machine-generated text — if we can render the output of LLMs as intuitively non-human as a Google search result — we are in a better position to reap the benefits of this technology with fewer downside risks. Forcing LLMs to refer to themselves without saying “I,” and perhaps even coming up with a novel, intentionally stilted grammatical construction that drags the human user out of the realm of parasocial relationship, is a promising first step.

I am not quite sure how worth getting to the glowing lady was.

On one hand, that fragment seems plot-relevant to make whole (or at least hopefully a good talisman), and the things she says are Very, Very Interesting (confirmation that our job is to, if we choose, defeat a certain body seen in a fountain statue and replace them- feels cool to be right on that one ^^ That Half-Blood she‘s talking about might be Hornet? And the line of "looks just like her mother“, I mean. 👀) but also. Y‘know.

Oh my god their(?) ghost is here. Don‘t do this to me game. Don‘t.

In other news, got the 1800 Essence to upgrade the dream nail and. I think I know what its for 👀

In other other news THE BANK LADY STOLE MY MONEY WHAT THE HECK

#hollow knight #toast plays hollow knight #whats the pronoun situation for these bugs anyways #would just look it up but. Spoilers #I read somewhere at least 1 of them goes by they/them? #or that Hornet was the only one with she/her? #and now i dont trust this translation #since (langauge i play in) doesnt have gn terms #(like at all. Not for anything. In fact one of the states here just banned using masc+fem terms together. So.)

Hi, Hi, Pup!!! (<- or Pip, if you're not comfy with that!!!)

I wanted to ask if you can do requests based off of original characters? (As long as they are little appropriate, ofcourse!! ^^ Just something styled after the design and/or details given)

I couldn't find it on your "won't do" list, but still wanted to make sure :D

Have a nice day!!! :]

I can do requests for original characters!! I have some requests for OC's waiting in my inbox! As long as you send in a picture and preferably some facts/interests for the character(s), I'll do it!! Of course, my requests are closed right now, but I'm happy to do OC's when I open them again!

#If things aren't on my list of banned subjects then you have the okay from me! #if you request a moodboard and I don't like something in it I'll let you know! #and maybe do it anyway depending on how much i dont like it #because you wouldn't have known! #anyway #you can call me pup if you'd like! #I go by all manner of things #definitely all pronouns #and for the most part I go by Pip or Cass! But anything related to my URL is okay!! #Pip's barks

i don't know, people can be trans in whatever way they wish and feel comfortable with, i just wish the people on the lower end of Actually Putting Work and Visible Effort Into It and Actually Experiencing Transphobia/Transmisogyny didn't feel like they automatically get a free pass to claim the same things we go through. if you do not share the experience of the vast majority of trans people, maybe you do not get to talk about it, or reclaim any part of it 😐

#and i am not just talking about any kind of transition or hormones. just you know #for most trans people it just doesn't end on making a tiktok about being a fem afab nb and putting she/they in yr bio. you're free to do all #that but don't insert yourself into places you just really don't belong in? #i will never invalidate other trans people and i never have simply based on dysphoria or their stance on transition and i get that for nb #ppl it can be a little trickier on what steps they wanna take #however i don't think it's a crazy take that trans people who largely don't Plan to transition in any meaningful noticeable way or/and #experience any sort of dysphoria or discomfort or incongruence with their assigned gender and body are... the LAST demographic that should #represent the trans community as a whole or have a say in things that people whom all those things actually concern #cuz they're not passing bills to ban your pronouns. they're not outlawing fem afab nb bodies. they're illegalising transition on every step #of its way and they're calling US mutilated monsters and gr**mers #i genuinely don't want to come off wrong in here. i have never been transmed/truscum or anything of the sort in fact i was there in their #prime and i hated it! i just think this is a no-brainer. your experience is uh. fine. it just doesn't align with uh... most trans people to #whom these things are a matter of life or death actually so please sit down...

i'll scream about it more when the guidance has been officially announced not leaked but being trans is going to get so much worse in the uk soon

#literally one of the topics of the guidance was #ban any kid who has different pronouns from doing competitive sport #jesus fucking christ #trans #blue squawks #transphobia

[uncanny-tranny]

some transphobic person was in a youtuber server run by a trans woman with a lot of trans people in it and we kept asking what nuts' pronouns were and deez said "deez/nuts" after deez was refusing to answer. even after deez got banned, the server continued to respect nuts' pronouns.

That's actually kinda sweet of the server omg

#ask #anon #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i see some people say that respecting everybody's pronouns even somebody like deez/nut is bad... #...but acting as though there is a time where you shouldn't respect somebody's pronouns is only going to hurt trans people in the end... #...like i have seen people say that you shouldn't respect a trans person's pronouns if they are an exclusionist before and it's like... #...this is the same principle... respecting everybody's pronouns when they tell them to you is only going to benefit trans and cis people #it ultimately isn't my place to draw a line on when you are allowed to misgender somebody because like... that line shouldn't exist #if a person is going to be transphobic they will find *any* way to be so #if a cis person thinks it humiliates the trans community by going by deez/nuts. um #i feel like that's only going to humiliate themself ngl #and honestly? i feel a lot safer in a community which gives basic respect to everybody. you can condemn people... #...but you can condemn people without denying somebody basic respect. idk. #but yeah good on the server for banning deez #and good on the server for respecting deez pronouns #the worst part of only giving two forms of your pronouns is when you don't know the proper way to use the rest of the pronouns

Your name is LEAH. You are THIRTEEN years old, and STILL UNAWARE of a lot of things about yourself. In FIVE YEARS you will come out as NONBINARY, and over the course of SEVERAL YEARS FOLLOWING you will discover you are DISABLED, MENTALLY ILL, and a HUGE NERD. You like ROLEPLAYING WITH YOUR FRIENDS, though you don't call it that. You like FRENCH CLASS, READING, and WRITING. You are also being BULLIED but we DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

You're pretty SHELTERED and DON'T GET OUT MUCH. You often go on NEOPETS when you're online, and NOTHING ELSE, but your BEST FRIEND introduced you to a WEBCOMIC CALLED HOMESTUCK on her birthday, but it is only TODAY, the 24th of April, 2009, you are finally reading it. You are PRETTY SURE THIS WON'T AFFECT YOU TOO MUCH.

#homestuck replay #hi everyone #homestuck liveblog #ttk reads homestuck #bit late to the party but here goes #i was actually 12 in april 2009 but im saying 13 so i dont get banned for violating tumblrs tos because they cant tell im roleplaying #its only 4 months off at least so its not a bad change #anyway my pronouns are they/he and you can call me ttk or leah

#i think the op of the original poll should be banned from making polls that mention gender or pronouns at all #also not the biggest fan of 'blorbo' too often used to mean white cis male characters #as evidenced by the original poll! #but if people want to use the term for good then i have no problem #just copied the gendered options lol #well if you will unnecessarily gender things

uk moots idk if youve seen the rishi sunak school guidelines shit but. like it was already so bad like its been getting worse and worse for years now and somehow it just. like i dont think ive heard someone say something so obviously VILE about the equality act.. ever. i know its not all official yet like it was a proposed speech but i do not see this being scrapped not with the people in control rn. this is gonna kill lgbt kids especially trans kids and i feel so fucking helpless again.

#in fucking pride month too. i feel stupid and helpless. #i want to be a teacher too. i wanna make school safe for kids like me and the idea of having to follow #these fucking human rights abuses of guidelines makes me feel physically nauseous #how am i ever meant to work in education? how am i meant to be a teacher if my basic rights are encouraged to be ignored. #am i meant to put up with misgendering and disrespect every day until it kills me? until something even worse happens? #how are you meant to protect vulnerable kids when your told to hand them over to potential abuse violence homelessness or even death #conversion therapy is still legal here too. #they keep saying theyre banning it but its been 5ys since they said that and still NOTHING. #not only does it mean outing kids to their families #but it also means that they will not be protected from transphobic abuse and harassment from teachers or students. #teachers dont have to and are told not to respect any name pronoun or gender changes #if the parents dont approve #and even then teachers and other students alike will not have to respect them anyway ‘if they dont want to #you know. the shit that has been proven to fucking kill trans youth. #they wanna gut lgbt sex ed too. like probably all of it. the stuff thats been put forward from stonewall (our main lgbt charity here) #i just. i feel so fucking small. #rishi sunak and every single tory needs their head beat in with a cricket bat i literally do not fucking care. #transphobia tw #homophobia tw

Enter American culture-war nonsense.

In Texas, they want to ban websites that explain how to get an abortion, as well as sites that ship the pills for a medication abortion. In Florida, they want to force bloggers who write about the state government to pay a fee and register with the state, prohibiting anonymous commentary about the state legislature and its actions. Florida has also required that online providers cease permitting their users to display pronouns other than the ones they were assigned at birth. Of course, online services have no way to know what pronouns any of their users were assigned at birth, so sites like Github are complying with Florida law by simply not displaying pronouns to Floridian users.

The biggest barrier to enforcing these laws is the US Constitution, which these laws assuredly violate. It’s entirely possible that a lower court will uphold these laws. It’s conceivable that an appeals court will do so as well. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that the current Supreme Court — illegitimately stacked with far-right partisan hacks lacking any shred of principle — will follow suit.

But it’s far from a sure thing. It’s not even clear whether the legislatures that passed these laws and the governors who signed them want them to be enforced. After all, if these policies do come into force, large numbers of corporations are likely to shutter their offices and move out of state (especially in Florida, an increasingly economic irrelevance for any business not engaged in selling soon-to-be-drowned condos and/or shitcoins).

For these cynical political operators, having their laws overturned by “activist judges” lets them eat their cake and have it too — they don’t have to alienate the business lobby, and they get a steady supply of red meat for their cruel base, driving voter turnout and donations from frightened bigots.
