This is the kind of post that would peak the world if we lived in sensible times

go to the comments on that piece about the female lawyer being investigated at her school. Comments supporting her are 300+ and critical comments have like three or four likes. I'm seeing this everywhere suddenly, for whatever reason the last few weeks everything trans is getting massively downvoted. People are sick of the bs. It's interesting to me that yahoo news has been running so many front page pro trans stories and they have got rid of their comments sections completely. mail.com is running these two, with no feedback. the old liberal rags like Daily Beast and Raw Story & etc have no comments sections on their pro trans stuff. I've come to believe this is deliberate.

holy crap you're right - I looked at both Times articles above and they are flooded with sensible people! This is such a relief. Normally I avoid comments sections like the plague.

It's all shocking but realising that women were deliberately being put in harm's way to validate the autogynephiliac fantasies of violent male rapists turned my stomach. They don't put FtM transmen in the male estate because they know men are dangerous but it's fine to put a bunch of men who have already been convicted in with the women?

Funny how newly gay Phillip Schofield can't / won't see homophobia when it's in front of him..

Terrible to see you can't even say facts in a law course, I hope that student comes out on top.

just dropping this article here, I'm just speechless and so annoyed how tech has taken over and pretty near destroyed culture. Who cares about child safeguarding when billions are at stake. this is relevant because in the US this is the cult/culture out of which came the TRA movement, that without social media would have never gained legitimacy and the ability to 'cancel' so many people and especially women. This cult/ture may end up literally stomping feminism to death. From the sounds of this article, it's journalism in particular they are after. Which makes sense since they are the arbiters of it and with cancel culture they decide what journalism even exists, the mass cancelation of right wing sources on so many platforms is so alarming to me even as a lifelong leftie. I just really hate what tech has done to the world. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/05/tech-vs-journalism-silicon-valley-reporters.html?utm_source=Daily+Lab+email+list&utm_campaign=ea5926bd99-dailylabemail3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d68264fd5e-ea5926bd99-396662732#comments

I read last week of a woman whose 14 year old committed suicide after being extorted by someone in the Philippines over a nude he thought he sent to a girl. Now he's dead. And the tech billionaires couldn't care less about how many children are dying due to social media every day (heard about another teen suicide from snapchat bullying yesterday and about two more teens who suicided due to being extorted over nudes just today). Tech cares not, and when in the HELL did any of us agree to feeding them kids for suicide or sterilization, or the whole scale cancelation of feminism and child safeguarding...
