In this thread I'll be going into specifics on my argument of how women born with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome are intersex females and not intersex males. I'll be using the five factors of sex determination which I went into in this
To start with the the way the five factors work is that together they add up to one of the two results, I think this is a safe estimate given the casing of Hayley Haynes.. which can be backed up by a few other findings where uterine tissue was discovered:
There was an official statement made that determined the current ongoing issues with uterus transplants being an issue in AIS women having nothing to do with their Y chromosome which currently people use chromosomes to argue genotype, or
Let's start then, with the first and most simple of factors. Karyotype.
In those born with CAIS they are born with a 46 XY karyotype with a SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However there is a mutation in the primary X chromosome that leads to not being able to process androgens.
This in turn leads to testicular feminization caused by a mutation in the X chromosome that leads to the body resisting, or not being effected by androgens produced in the body. We'll go more into that later.
Karyotype: Male Typical 46 XY[SRY]
Another thread so soon? This one's going to be about a classic argument, sex determination. There are five methods of sex determination and I'm going to go into depth on my arguments on why I state that sex is able to be determined in all cases. #intersex

Good questions!

RE: Staffing/Fair wages:
I've talked about how this system reflects the trifecta of racism/sexism/ageism: https://t.co/hcjb0fB5xr
*We have a majority older, female resident population cared for my a majority racialized, female workforce.
20 years ago (pre-Harris privatization), nursing homes were staffed primarily by NURSES (hence the name, NURSING HOMES).
Privatization kicks in....and these FP owners need to cut costs to increase their profits. How? STAFFING, TO START.
What unfolded over the last 20 years as Privatization increased was the reversal of the staffing mix from majority nurses to majority PSWs (who are an unregulated workforce comprised primarily of racialized women who are often new to Canada).
This strategy is NOT NEW (its how the 2nd phase of predatory capitalism took hold) by expanding quite literally on the backs of women, often from the Global South whose labour is assumed to be both cheap and disposable (I studied this in my PhD).
And indeed, @Revera_Inc in their recent report defending their COVID performance expressed these same calls for an increased use of a gendered & racialized workforce....seeking to have @fordnation adjust immigration policies as a result

Most troubling is this tidbit from the "Perfect Storm" report where you all recommend the use of gendered & racialized immigrant workforces instead of providing domestic workers fair wages and livable working conditions.https://t.co/yRqCvMWwHb pic.twitter.com/ZCDPRkTEoz
This is an interesting review and a good intro to new municipalism (or what @davidjmadden calls 'socialist municipalism')
But it misses some key aspects of what makes the movement distinctive, and distinct from London's municipal socialism.
So hereās a thread on municipalism...
Municipalism is not simply āa political stance as well as an approach to shaping the built environmentā (as @davidjmadden puts it) ā itās a distinctive strategic approach to democratising the local state and transforming urban economies using urban spaces as a platformā¦
1/
Municipalism adopts a ādual powerā strategy: 1) supporting commons and practices of commoning through which a more democratic, cooperative (and potentially prefiguratively postcapitalist) āsolidarity economyā can be instituted;
2/
...and 2) seeking to take hold of the political institutions of the local state through mobilising social movements for winning electoral office, to reimagine and transform the state from within, through guerrilla occupation of bureaucracies, in order to support 1) above.
3/
Means and ends are intertwined in a prefigurative politics that āfeminisesā the stateās decision-making processes and subverts technocratic managerialism in favour of 'collective theory-building' and open-source, crowdsourced deliberative-democratic policy-making.

THREAD: (1/10) There are a range of ambitious recommendations in @theCCCuk Sixth Carbon Budget to deliver 78% reduction in UK territorial emissions between 1990 and 2035 #PlantheWorldWeNeed Some thoughts from the RTPI in this thread... https://t.co/a1iLQ3UMTO
2/10 Recovery: The RTPI's #PlantheWorldWeNeed campaign demonstrates how planning will play a key role in supporting @theCCCuk recommendations, ensuring a sustainable, inclusive and green recovery from the pandemic https://t.co/b7NX25m30j
3/10 Investment: @theCCCuk recommends additional investment of Ā£50bn annually. The RTPI proposes Green Growth Boards to guide investment needed for zero carbon at a strategic scale https://t.co/9GLui8Ll0q
4/10 Transport: @theCCCuk recommends switch to electric vehicles by 2030. Planning will be key in rolling out charging infrastructure but first we must reduce travel demand and increase sustainable travel. Look out for RTPI paper in January on planning for zero carbon transport
5/10 Energy: @theCCCuk recommends #netzero electricity by 2035. Planning is key to guide development of low carbon infrastructure. Technological solutions must be coupled with ambitious measures to reduce energy demand @UWEBristol @TLPblog @Regen_insight
