I donโ€™t want my bank sending automated โ€œbanterโ€, abusive taunting disguised with a tee hee hee. This needs axing.

An International Human Rights Law Analysis of the WHRC Declaration This post concerns the Declaration on Womenโ€™s Sex-Based Rights produced by a group called the Womenโ€™s Human Rights Campaign. This Declaration self-describes as being โ€œOn the re-afโ€ฆ

And a quick refresher about the nature and values of the WDI (Womenโ€™s Declaration International) that these โ€œWomenโ€™s Declarationโ€ groups (every party has one) align with

(the WDI was formerly known as the WHRC)

Transgender people could be treated in private NHS rooms, Wes Streeting says The Health Secretary said there is โ€˜palpable anxietyโ€™ among trans people about their rights and dignity.

Westminster Toilet Ban Sparks Outrage Before Mass Lobby UK Parliamentโ€™s new bathroom rule is the latest blow to trans rights, just days before a major public lobby and amid mounting national backlash.

Barclays confirms trans women to be barred from using ladiesโ€™ toilets Group chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan said the move follows the recent Supreme Court ruling that the term woman is defined by biological sex.

Not sure who first jumped the gun but Barclays was speedy

After I came out as trans I was sounded out as to whether I would care to become the first woman member of the (male) Freemasons following their adoption of a trans inclusion policy in 2018.

(Spoiler: I did not)

Louis & Bebe Barron - Battle With The Invisible Monster (Forbidden Planet)
Louis & Bebe Barron - Battle With The Invisible Monster (Forbidden Planet) YouTube video by SoundtracksForLiving

I mean, just listen to how beserk "Battle With The Invisible Monster" goes at 1:20 in, an overloaded geiger counter, screaming and screeching, warning sirens and just generally chaos.

Now that's entertainment.

That meant the Barrons could not join the union, and that meant the soundtrack was not eligible for an Oscar. Nor did they get further soundtrack work.

Still, we have this and it continues to sound like the future, 70 years later.

Bebe took the generated sounds and processed them with effects and spliced them together.

Because this was entirely novel, and mechanically created, the Musicians Union would not allow this to be classified as โ€œmusicโ€. The tile card describes the soundtrack as โ€œelectronic tonalitiesโ€โ€ฆ

โ€ฆ one of the reasons for that is that Louis built custom circuits that generated the sounds, which functioned for a while, evolving the sound as it went, then eventually died. Hardcore cybernetics aesthetic! We donโ€™t have details of those circuitsโ€ฆ these are unique sounds.

70 years of Forbidden Planet!

The soundtrack by Louis and Bebe Barron is amazing - the first time that electronic music was used in a mainstream Hollywood film, and it still sounds totally out thereโ€ฆ

these laws are a political project by which the state attempts to assume the power to decide sex and gender, power it does not haveโ€”and power it will express โ€œincorrectlyโ€ because thatโ€™s power, too

Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender womanโ€™s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

โ€œif we havenโ€™t found evidence of regret yet itโ€™s because we havenโ€™t looked hard enoughโ€ is what anti-trans voices constantly say, locked into the same logic as Bigfoot hunters

Not including this person's handle because I don't want to start a big pile-on but there is such a deep media literacy problem on the left. "The New York Times" is not "supporting" any of the things linked; individual letters they place on their pages combine into *words* that make up *articles*

โ€ฆ because so many of them also buy into this propaganda for patriarchy, accepting the neurosexist ideas used to naturalize gender differences, or lapping up the lurid just-so fairy tales of evo psych.

This is true: a fundamentalist, complementarian idea of โ€œsexโ€ has been retroactively imposed on the law

OTOH atheists, humanists and others have been equally awful in relentlessly insisting that a simplistic notion of โ€œbinary, immutableโ€ gender corresponds to bedrock realityโ€ฆ
