#ParisOlympics: The #gender-#specific #rules that #regulate #athletes' #uniforms.

#Federations, #Sporting #equipment #manufacturers and #socialnorms #restrict #female #athletes' #clothing #choices. While #equality is making #headway in some #sports, specific #regulations persist in major #disciplines such as #gymnastics and #athletics.

60% of #Americans support #abortionrights. This could be the #advantage #KamalaHarris needs to #win against Donald #Trump

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump would sign a #national #abortionban and #restrict #access to #contraception if given the chance.

Similarities with the #MoralPanic of Today

Today, the #LGBTQ+ #community is facing a resurgence of #hate and #bigotry similar to the one during #TheBriggsInitiative #era. Several #factors highlight these similarities:

#Epidemic of #Hateful #Legislation #Targeting #LGBTQ+ Individuals: Just as #Proposition6 aimed to #ban #LGBTQ+ #individuals from #publicschool #jobs, modern #legislation in #RedStates seeks to #restrict #LGBTQ+ #rights, particularly targeting #transgender individuals.

@dee If that nude was sent without explicit consent of the reciever then that's likely the reason for the ban if said person reported it.

Personally, I would NEVER EVER rely on any #proprietary and #centralized #singleVendor / #SingleProvider #Messenger or communications solution.

Unless one has complete access to the entire Frontend and Backend, consider all claims of #E2EE to be #marketing #lies - espechally from Providers like #Telegram, @signalapp@mastodon.world, #WhatsApp and others that may fall ounder #CloudAct or other types of #Cyberfacism.

Not to mention that the very linkage of a #PhoneNumber to a #Mesenger is inherently bad and wrong since those are not only easy to track but usually not available #anonymously in every juristiction.

#Signal itself is extra #insecure as they #restrict the availability of their services and App based off the presumed geolocation as per country code.

AND NO, YOU STILL NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO USE SIGNAL!!!

Needless to say that #XMPP+#OMEMO & #XMOO + #PGP/MIME just work and clients like @monocles #MonoclesChat are absolutely trivial to setup and use...

'#WomensBillofRights' #policies could #impact daily #lives of #transgender #community

The #laws #restrict #definitions of a #man, #woman, #girl, #boy, #mother and #father in a genocidal attempt to define transgender people out of existence.

#Republican #Rep believes #trans #sports #bans will make #Trans people ‘#switch #back’ to their #sex #assigned at #birth.

Grothman and Perry’s #hateful #comments and #disinformation further prove #Republican #intentions to #restrict #trans #student-#athletes, not to #protect #women as they often suggest, but simply to make #trans #people’s #lives more #difficult.
