At this point, anything could happen! Overpopulation, yet there is a baby shortage, the radical woke left being called fascists by the "conservative" right. Men are women, women are people with cervixes. Who actually knows anymore?!

And we all know how a Gilead would treat her and why.
Yes! We all know who is female when the female body can be used and commodified for the purpose of reproduction. Reminds me of Owen Jones talking about finding a woman to be his surrogate a while ago. Suddenly he knew what a biological female was when her body could carry a child for him.
My workplace has reminded us it is International Pronouns Day 
It has nothing to do with my job ffs.

Margaret Atwood Goes Full JK Rowling, Shares Anti-Trans Nonsense on Twitter
Margaret Atwood has taken a giant leap farther into the camp of writers who simply refuse to let us enjoy their work in peace.
This was an infuriating article but it has an interesting 'statistic'
Which led to this article
The Imperative for Transgender and Gender Nonbinary Inclusion: Beyond Women's Health - PMC
We describe barriers to clinical care and research participation unique to transgender and gender nonbinary people and offer concrete suggestions for creating more inclusive environments.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
It's difficult to get women's health studied or women included in general medical trials at all. Though I do worry about the health of a baby if the mother is using random medications that haven't had their effects studied in pregnancy, especially if they are prescribing them through somewhere like GenderGP without safeguarding.
I personally don't think it's unreasonable to exclude trans/NB pregnant women from qualitative work because it's very likely they will have different experiences to other women and so it doesn't really make sense from a qualitative perspective to lump them all together? Particularly if the work is intending to e.g. suggest changes to care or how pregnancy care is handled, it makes a lot of sense to do that separately. I would say it's harder to justify excluding trans (not started medically transitioning)/NB people from quant work that examines e.g. biological women, because they are biological women and their results would still be appropriate.
The other thing is that research is not meant to be inherently 'inclusive' in the way this person is using that sentiment. Inclusivity in research is about ensuring underserved groups WITHIN the population you're studying are included, so say you were doing a pregnancy study, you'd want to make sure you weren't accidentally making it hard for black women to participate, or people without a computer, whatever. You don't just say 'ah well for the sake of inclusivity we'll have to include men' because...that's not what you're studying. And actually your inclusion/exclusion criteria should be very tight so that there's absolutely no doubt about who your results are meant to apply to. I'd love to write an article about this one day if I can be bothered. This rhetoric is making bad science and research practices.

I wonder if that TRA-"Meatloaf" will be there.
I still don't get how trans activism has gained so much traction. There are so many other instances where there is genuine, deep and systematic inequality to large groups (i.e women, people who don't have white skin) why do a bunch of - what look like - men dressed up as women hold so much sway?
It disgusts me.

As an aside, why is it all 'folks' and 'y'all'? Thick as bleeping tit most of them.
Powerful people pumping money into promoting it, like pharma companies that benefit from selling their products. That leads to the media promoting it for fear of losing sponsorships.
My friend that is really into this and shares info about it almost every day told me that the Spanish twitter account for Amazon was tweeting about "cis people" in shows and movies months ago. And she went on a rant about it. When you have companies like Amazon or Netflix validating your theories, it's a lot easier, isn't it?
Shows like "Sex education", watched by young people, talk about non-binary, binders, ... but hey, they are so oppressed.
Your wish is my command! Don't you know it's SLOTH DAY?!?!@emmer_moans

"we're the most opressed minority and i am sick of being ignored"
I think it’s gained traction for two reasons.
1. Because it’s a men’s rights movement. Trans identified females are swept along with it, but they’re collateral damage. This movement has always been about men and not women.
2. Because it plays into the heart of liberal people who want nothing more than to feel like they’re the nicest, kindest, most enlightened, tolerant, broad-minded people in society. It’s so easy. All you need to do is pointlessly add your pronouns on work emails/social media, tweak your language a bit, and grandstand on social media about how unisex toilets “wouldn’t bother me”. Congratulations. You are such a good person
Spot on, especially the second point

With the second point I think it's also a fear of being on 'the other side' - society is so divided now (especially on social media) that if you believe 99% of 'side A' and 1% of 'side B' that you'll be viewed as belonging to 'side B', and when all your friends constantly talk about how much they hate side B then that fear can keep you quiet. I think this is especially true for younger people in their teens and early 20s when peer pressure is much more effective.
