Gender ideology, queer theory and critical race theory are all yours to own.
Another of J. K. Rowling's absolute smash hits from The Other Twitter.

Researcher has a lot of opinions about basic maternal care. Calls it "intrusion", "gendered".
Refuses to use the word "woman".

Today's example of Microsoft #enshittification: when you use the shortcut alt+N+L to add a new comment to a word doc the cursor used to automatically jump into the comment box so you could immediately type your comment. Now you have to manually click in the text box before typing appears.

I hope NZ government and oppostion unequivocally condemns this act
Poe's Law. It is genuinely impossible to tell if someone online is being unutterably stupid, or maliciously dishonest.
