AVISO de que hablo de agresiones y muertes. Y el hilo es largo porque hay datos. Agradezco difusión y tal.
No sé si os acordáis que en verano me fui unos días de las redes por un hilo que me dejó muy mal cuerpo. Es este, de la Etxe, justificando una agresión a una mujer trans, llamándolo "autodefensa".
AVISO de que hablo de agresiones y muertes. Y el hilo es largo porque hay datos. Agradezco difusión y tal.
Y como ejemplo del peligro usa... tíos cis que en ningún momento fingieron ser mujeres trans.

Nota: si encontráis el vídeo, no lo veáis. Es horrible.
Entretanto, vamos a ver las estadísticas de mujeres trans asaltando a mujeres cis en baños. Es cero.

¿Querría decir que para las terf, es razonable atacar a mujeres cis si tienen el pelo corto y apariencia masculina? SÍ.

My wife has just been challenged for being in the \u201cwrong\u201d (female) toilet. This never used to happen to her.

I want to say to \u201cgender critical\u201d people:
You are damaging trans people, and that\u2019s bad enough.
BUT YOU ARE ALSO DAMAGING THE PEOPLE YOU CLAIM TO BE PROTECTING.

I presented as a gender non-conforming girl and woman for over 2 decades. I was often challenged when I went into public toilets, sometimes really aggressively. Toilet laws will mean more young girls having to constantly justify their presence in the loos to angry adults. https://t.co/3B4KW1p7dp pic.twitter.com/k87JKxPbQl

The 'philospher of fiction' ("I\u2014Kathleen Stock: Fictive Utterance and Imagining") states it is 'regrettable but necessary' that some cis women are misgendered to 'protect' all women.

Our 'feminist' wants women's spaces to be only for those women who look gender conforming. pic.twitter.com/AP8JTm1P0j

So, as the #MegaMillions jackpot reaches a record $1.6B and #Powerball reaches $620M, here's my advice about how to spend the money in a way that will truly set you, your children and their kids up for life.
Ready?
Create a private foundation and give it all away. 1/
Let's stipulate first that lottery winners often have a hard time. Being publicly identified makes you a target for "friends" and "family" who want your money, as well as for non-family grifters and con men. 2/
The stress can be damaging, even deadly, and Uncle Sam takes his huge cut. Plus, having a big pool of disposable income can be irresistible to people not accustomed to managing wealth. https://t.co/fiHsuJyZwz 3/
Meanwhile, the private foundation is as close as we come to Downton Abbey and the landed aristocracy in this country. It's a largely untaxed pot of money that grows significantly over time, and those who control them tend to entrench their own privileges and those of their kin. 4
Here's how it works for a big lotto winner:
1. Win the prize.
2. Announce that you are donating it to the YOUR NAME HERE Family Foundation.
3. Receive massive plaudits in the press. You will be a folk hero for this decision.
4. Appoint only trusted friends/family to board. 5/

Brief thread to debunk the repeated claims we hear about transmission not happening 'within school walls', infection in school children being 'a reflection of infection from the community', and 'primary school children less likely to get infected and contribute to transmission'.
I've heard a lot of scientists claim these three - including most recently the chief advisor to the CDC, where the claim that most transmission doesn't happen within the walls of schools. There is strong evidence to rebut this claim. Let's look at
Let's look at the trends of infection in different age groups in England first- as reported by the ONS. Being a random survey of infection in the community, this doesn't suffer from the biases of symptom-based testing, particularly important in children who are often asymptomatic
A few things to note:
1. The infection rates among primary & secondary school children closely follow school openings, closures & levels of attendance. E.g. We see a dip in infections following Oct half-term, followed by a rise after school reopening.
We see steep drops in both primary & secondary school groups after end of term (18th December), but these drops plateau out in primary school children, where attendance has been >20% after re-opening in January (by contrast with 2ndary schools where this is ~5%).

The science shows us that most disease transmission does not happen in the walls of the school, but it comes in from the community. So, CDC is advocating to get our K-5 students back in school at least in a hybrid mode with universal mask wearing and 6 ft of distancing. https://t.co/dfvJ2nl2s4
