"Indian court rules #transWomen are #women and ‘legally entitled to recognition’"
'In a landmark ruling for the country, after rejecting claims that womanhood was preserved only for those who can bear children, the High Court of #AndhraPradesh ruled that #trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.
...tying the definition of women to pregnancy was “legally unsustainable” and contradicted #India’s constitution'

This is pretty bad
So there's this #TeaApp for #women only to share the "#tea," gossip, on men they have dated or might date
They verify the govt #ID or other images of its users to get in
Tiny problem:
The galaxy brain #vibe coders (#app made by #AI?) put the images of all these women in a #Firebase *public bucket*
🤦🤦🤦
So completely open access
🤦🤦🤦
Thousands of images, including govt IDs, were downloaded, some posted on #4chan

Since Republicans insist banning #trans people from bathrooms and locker rooms is necessary to protect #women, on Tuesday, a group of mostly cisgender women rallied at the Texas Capitol to oppose the latest iteration of the "bathroom bill."
