World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Trans women no longer have the same protections as cis women, so this ruling literally does do that.
We don't have any evidence of a significant part of the population feeling that they are chickens, yet we do have evidence of trans people existing for as long as humans have. Your argument isn't based on fact.
Found the Holocaust denier.
Transgender people were the first victims of the Nazis.
Fuck right off.
I thought it were children
The first Trans Health Clinic, which included medical support, was founded in Berlin, 1920.
I'm sure it will come as no surprise it got raided and burned down when fascism came to power.
So please, fuck off with this "trans is a woke invention" bullshit. Medical professionals have been working on aiding transpeople for over a century.
And why is the transphobe argument always going back to "man in a dress" anecdotes? The constant attack on transwomen through explicit description of situations, while avoiding that for transmen shows the underlying mysogyny here: Someone who thinks women are inferior arguing that someone labelled as man wanting to be recognised as a woman is wrong.
And 2S in its essence is different than T, because in most tribes, it's a non-binary 3rd gender role, where as transfolk are more related to the typical binary roles.
So again, fuck off with your transphobe drivel and go read a book. If you need a suggestion, start with the banlists the fascist snowflakes are so afraid of.
Transgender health care goes back much further than 35 years. It's just propagandists love to make it seem like John Money invented "transgenderism". You know why? Look at his name. You were supposed to tie it to Judaism (even if he wasn't Jewish himself), and then move on to antisemitism as well, not stop at "reasonable demands of trying to treat rapid onset gender dysphoria, with proper science" (the "proper science" is done by "secular wings" of church organizations, who want more believers), and "protecting women's rights from men" (if you thought gender segregation was to protect women from sexual predators, then I have a bridge to sell you).
Lol you are so out of touch with reality, trans people are real and have existed for as long as humanity has. We have records of people in ancient societies who are believed to be what we consider nowadays to be transgender (i.e. being AMAB but being buried in a women's burial position and burial site) and ironically many of them were respected and honored in those cultures (which is why we even know in the first place).
Also Two-Spirit is a Native American identity, it was added because there are indigenous people who identify that way and deserve to be seen. The fact that you are putting it and them down shows how little you actually care.
You are not what anyone would consider open-minded, you just spent two paragraphs putting down transgender people and denying the existence and identities of native American people who are two-spirit. You can consider yourself open-minded but that doesn't make it so.
ha haha HAHAHAHA.That's so ironic because this transphobic rant you posted indicates that this has already happened long ago. That's what happens when you fill your head with whatever it was that led you to write two and a half paragraphs of this transphobic garbage.
That is nice to think. That through science you might explain away the existence of transsexuality as an illness of culture. I've pondered the same argument, but at the end the things that "men do" and those that "women do" are ultimately supported by intrinsic differences in hormone levels and genetics. So while you could simplify the experience as a cultural phenomenon, you do not yet understand that such cultural phenomenons are the product of an internal difference, subtly driving what each of both genders at a large scale desires to do. Be it that this difference seems cultural, at first glance, it is not. It is an involuntary quality of the person to wish to identify with said cultural perceptions of gender, by causality of those cultural choices adhering more closely to the motivations originating from their mental gender. Yes, cultures are fluid and some will exacerbate this problem, some others will lessen it perhaps, and then less people would feel the need to declare themselves trans. But the fact remains, that independently of culture, you might come to the conclusion that a trans person has already crossed the threshold between a simple aesthetic choice and an inborn propensity to go for that type of choice. Details on where and when, are arbitrary. It is more effective to contrast between the two genders than to define one of them independently. There is also the fact of disassociation with their physical body, but that shouldn't require my input. I think that's all, and do as you will. I'll not respond unless there is something interesting to respond to.
Stop sticking feathers in your ass then?
