The U.S. State Department on Friday issued a worldwide caution security alert..."

#Trump Is Getting #Slammed for #antiTrans #Pledge on #Reddit, saying he would #rollback #transgender #rights on “day one” in #office if he is #reelected.
A #commenter summed it up perfectly, “Imagine being so #hateful that this is a #Day1 priority.”

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!
https://survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
Something that won’t happen many other places. Drag queens Kiki Krunch and Lotus Party presenting a Congressman with an award.
So the U.S. “advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.” due to terrorist-organization inspired threats. Sec of State Blinken said in a statement, “people in the LGBTQ+ community continue to face insidious forms of stigma and discrimination."
Bitch, you gotta be kiddin’ me. There are currently 515 anti-#LGBTQ bills in U.S. states right now. Facing insidious forms of stigma and discrimination?
THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

#OTD in 1936.
Alan Turing submits On Computable Numbers for publication.
His proof shows that there can be no mechanical, general method (i.e., a Turing machine or a program in some equivalent model of computation) to determine whether algorithms halt. However, each individual instance of the halting problem has a definitive answer, which may or may not be practically computable.
So, my spouse sent me a lengthy article about detransitioning earlier today, and it:
1. Irritated me.
2. Made me want to get some stats of my own.
So, the question is: "As a trans person, what are your opinions about detransitioning (DT)?"
Please select any and all options that apply.
Please only answer if consider yourself to be trans, nonbinary, or formerly trans or nonbinary.
Please boost for reach. I want like every trans person on Mastodon in this poll.
Thank you! 🩵 🩷

Is there anyone out there who thinks the #GOP means anything anymore except "I'm a bigoted sadistic asshole and it's my entire identity"?
OK Another edit. Lots of people on Facebook are posting memorials to Lynn Conway, reporting that she has died.
https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=lynn%20conway
I'm not seeing any official reports yet, though. Apparently Dallas Denny posted a rough draft of an obituary earlier today, but then took it down. I'm not sure what's going on anymore.
[edit] Apparently it has now been confirmed by the University of Michigan.

NEW ESSAY (many months in the making): A "Gender Critical" and "TERF" Primer (for readers trying to make sense of "feminists versus transgender activists" debates). no paywall, please give it lots of "claps" & share widely!

One day before parliament was dissolved on 30th May, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to two years in prison. [1] There was no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no public consultation.
The timing was deliberate. As parliament was dissolved a day later, we have no MPs, and therefore no way to challenge this decision as citizens.
The Good Law Project is challenging it in court, and crowdfunding £75,000 to do so. They have about £2,000 so far.

NEW: Not one but TWO major US media outlets have been taken over by Brits who previously headed anti-trans culture war obsessed outlets in the US and UK.
Robert Winnett of the psychopathic Telegraph and Hugh Dougherty of disinformation-peddler NY Post will head the Washington Post and Daily Beast. #trans #news #LGBTQ #media #journalism
The current UK government remains evil until its last day: They deliberately used the day before parliament was dissolved for making puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal. No MPs means no parliamentarian way to challenge this decision.

English mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing died #OTD in 1954.
During World War II, he played a crucial role in deciphering the Enigma code used by the German military, significantly contributing to the Allied war effort. In his paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," he proposed the famous Turing Test as a criterion for determining whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human.
