That is not the Scientific definition of woman. Woman is a descriptive word for Female adult. Your “gender” version has no basis is science or biology.

There is no scientific definition of woman, women are a social category. What it means to be a women is only tangentially related to biology.

I’m don’t talking on this now. Society does not reflect you or people on heres opinions. We are tired of the Smallest minority effecting politics/lives and women.

You are not society and you don't speak for it. You are an incurious bigot too stubborn in your ignorance to grow as a person. It's also lovely to be lectured to on language by a person who can't use capital letters or apostrophes properly. Ta-ra.

Woman means adult human female, and Man means Human Adult Male. That is the literal definition.

The actual, literal definition of woman:

Words aren't bestowed upon us, we make them up and can decide their meaning.

I was far from a feminist in my younger years but the way women are treated now is abhorrent. Especially in sports and places like Changing rooms.

So you don't actually care about patriarchal oppression women face everyday and the systemic violence they face from men, but like using them as a cudgel against trans people. The reason most feminists are trans inclusive (apart from it being the morally correct position) is that definitions of womanhood that are bioessentialist is a tool of patriarchal oppression.

You can argue a trans Women is a women all you like but you had to prefix

It's an adjective, under this logic blonde women aren't women.

we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.

It's absolutely about the person being searched.

Even better, he can demand her to strip naked for him. Purely theoretical of course, the bobbies would never abuse their power.

But hey, trans people have totally not lost any protections because of this ruling. The Supreme Court can only interpret the law, which is, as we know, an apolitical, amorphic force of nature and not a deeply political process informed just as much by a person's perspective and bigotries as any other.

Practically they did have them though, albeit under a legal grey area.

The ruling also pointed out that there are also existing protections under another law.

They said you can't discriminate against trans people on the basis of gender reassignment. You can, however, simultaneously discriminate against trans people on the basis of assigned gender at birth and they can be excluded from sex-segregated spaces of their assigned gender if they look too much like the other sex. So the Supreme Court just ruled on the question of 'which toilet should a trans person use' by saying 'neither'. This is what happens when you only consult with trans hate groups like Sex Matters and don't consult with trans people.

How is a ruling that just removed protections trans people had yesterday a 'positive step'?

Yet another case of a British institution making decisions about trans people without letting them participate, but allowing 'gender-critical' transphobes to, and fucking them over.

After I started puberty, I started to feel very dissociated from my body. I mostly think of myself as a floating set of eyes and hands, kind of like a VR game. Remembering I occupy a body and specially this body is always quite disconcerting. It was only when I read other trans people describe this experience, and point out how it wasn't normal, that I was able to make the connection to dysphoria.

I don't want to be subject to the output of generative AI and yet and I continuously am because AI bros oppose things that would enable my preferences (e.g. requiring AI output to be watermarked or tagged) and shove it in places I visit regularly. So fuck them and their ocean boiling algorithms that will never make art worth seeing, prose worth reading, or music worth hearing.

Yeah, I thought it must be a Reddit repost instance, thanks for pointing to the right one.

i apparently cannot figure out ascii shrugs, nvm

Just so we're clear, what this crawler does is go through all servers that use ActivityPub known to it, and congregate that data to a list of known services (Lemmy, Mastodon, Piefed etc.). How is does that is by querying a standardised end point to get the instance info (.well-known/nodeinfo which will then point to a different path to get the actual info).

For instance, here's what it will collect for feddit.uk:

// curl -s https://feddit.uk/nodeinfo/2.1 | jq
{
  "version": "2.1",
  "software": {
    "name": "lemmy",
    "version": "0.19.10-feddit",
    "repository": "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy",
    "homepage": "https://join-lemmy.org/"
  },
  "protocols": [
    "activitypub"
  ],
  "usage": {
    "users": {
      "total": 4184,
      "activeHalfyear": 718,
      "activeMonth": 485
    },
    "localPosts": 25750,
    "localComments": 122835
  },
  "openRegistrations": true,
  "services": {
    "inbound": [],
    "outbound": []
  },
  "metadata": {}
}

The important stat here is the localPosts, which is all the posts made by local users in any community, local or remote. It does not include posts by users from remote instances made in local communities. You can also see this data on the instance sidebar in lemmy-ui.

lemmy.zip going down will only reduce aggregated stats for total posts by 47,280, as that's what they report for their localPosts.
