We are subjects in a feudal constitutional monarchy. We can reform the House of Lords (I favour sortition) but the whole system is broken.

Glad I locked in a 18 month energy deal but I am wondering if I should have gone for 2 years.

The SC ruling didn’t even say that trans people had to be excluded from single-sex spaces, only that they could.

This is Lord Sumption’s take on it and he reckons the ruling has been misinterpreted. As a former Supreme Court judge, I’m happy to go along with that as he is an expert on interpreting and writing such judgements.

The speed with which some people have jumped on this and given their own, apparently wrong, reading of the law is worrying. Especially as one of them is Baroness Falkner who is threatening to write up “guidance” based on her misunderstanding of the judgement. Almost seems… opportunistic.

Yep, they do a nice job of wiki integration. We definitely want something similar with Ibis.

My thinking was that Lemmy instances could have their own Ibis instance that would include a page for each community named “c/community”.

While I doubt Fediverse wikis will replace Wikipedia, it can definitely take on wikis/fandom but, as mentioned, it can also act as the kind of wikis subs have. So you might have:

“c/community/faqs” “c/community/archive” “c/community/tutorials” “c/community/resources” “c/community/recommendations”

Depending on their needs - meme communities might not need much, while computing, privacy, etc might want quite a few to add in useful information and links that might otherwise get buried.

ibis.wiki/threadiverse_privacy

So top level might be:

ibis.wiki/threadiverse_categories

Under which you might have:

• [[threadiverse_technology]]
• [[threadiverse_media]]

The latter then might contain:

• [[threadiverse_books]]
• [[threadiverse_films]]
• [[threadiverse_television]]
• [[threadiverse_comics]]

Then the last one would include:

• [[c/comic_books@wiki.lemmy.world]]
• [[c/comicbooks@wiki.lemm.ee]]
• [[c/britishcomics@wiki.feddit.uk]]

Very impressive.

This is not finished - not in categories, not in organisation, not in communities, but I’m getting exhausted currently.

It must be collaborative or you’ll burn yourself out.

I wonder if it can be done on !ibis@lemmy.ml and then that information gets pulled through to another site where it could be used for filtering. And/or, as Ibis now federates with Lemmy (see !wiki@test.ibis.wiki), it would just appear on here anyway and you could search “political communities” and it would bring up the relevant wiki page inside Lemmy.

This also fits with what I was pondering on Threadiverse community alternatives to subs. There are a few sites that went up with the first Rexxit but they are no longer maintained and it would be better done in a wiki.

My thinking was that Lemmy instances could have their own Ibis instance that would include a page for each community named “c/community”. So we’d have:

wiki.feddit.uk/c/privacy

And elsewhere you’d have:

wiki.lemmy.world/c/privacy wiki.lemmy.ml/c/privacy

And these could then be linked in from both:

ibis.wiki/sub_alternatives ibis.wiki/threadiverse_privacy

Nail down your naming structure early on and it should go smoothly, with wikis being flexible enough to allow changes to be made if we needed to tweak things.

It is one of the reasons why I asked @nutomic@lemmy.ml about being able to log into Iris with your Lemmy account, because you could closely integrate Lemmy and Ibis, especially now it federates (no point in having two accounts).

Not as far as I’m aware - The Guardian says it was only officers who trans women with a GRC who were allowed to search those AFAB. So officers couldn’t pick and chose to suit them.

The BTP jumped on this almost instantly as they’d been under fire because trans women on the force could strip search those AFAB.

I’m waiting for next shoe to drop when someone AFAB complains because they get strip searched by a big hairy bloke because he was also AFAB. At no point does anyone seem to have considered the effect this law will have on trans men now having to go into women-only spaces. I don’t think JK Rowling cares about the messy fallout from her War on Trans Women.

Poop and shower? Waffle stomp?

😱

Now trans and cis people are going to get harassed for being in the wrong bathrooms by the gender police.

They said on the radio that the changes in bathroom laws in the US have mainly impacted butch lesbians. This is going to get messy.

It’s a group funded by JK Rowling, she is laser-focused on trans woman and so intersex people and trans men are an after thought, if they are even given a thought.

They argue that a very clear definition by the court on what a woman is would also help clear up an ambiguity about who qualifies to use women’s services.They argue that a very clear definition by the court on what a woman is would also help clear up an ambiguity about who qualifies to use women’s services.

There doesn’t seem any ambiguity: Do they have a GRC? It’s either either yes or no. Trying to define a woman is difficult and could lead to a lot more ambiguity.

They say people who self-identify as trans but do not have a gender recognition certificate are being allowed to use women-only services and spaces.

Laws are broken all the time, it’s not an argument to change the laws.

No

I ran through a few permutations but “cock-up” and “low-ball” just didn’t work.

I have no wish to know about your privy passage, sir!

Nige has them running scared. A nonaggression pact would be the start of a slippery slope, one that could see Farage running the country. 😱
