Maybe it’s like the tennis seeding system.  You don’t put the top two seeds against each other in the first round of the championship.

I’m sorry, uterus owners? 🙄

I didn’t say you weren’t in favour of decriminalisation. You said

...any studio that asks a female employee to work on a production in Georgia will be putting them in more risk than if they were working on a production in another state.

Sounds to me like the best solution would be a lot more aggressive investigation into sex trafficking and traffickers. The goal is to have sex workers going about their business, with sex traffickers shut down and their victims rescued. It seems logical that criminalising ALL sex work makes that much more difficult.

I’m gonna say it on every anti-abortion thread. The goal of Forced Birthers is not, and never has been, protecting the “life” of the fetus. It’s about controlling the sex lives of uterus owners.

CW: mention of homo- and transphobic bullshit.

Those are some world-class strawmen you’ve created there, I congratulate you.

I see exactly what you’re saying, and I agree it’s very likely Ms. Scurlock was murdered due to “trans panic”.

The criminalisation of sex work goes back milenia, and it’s always been about keeping women economically dependent on men.

“I was beat up, had all of my wages and personal property stolen by this person, and was forced to do sex work without a condom raped,” she recounted.

GR has never been about autism. It’s always been a front for anti-science grifters and snake oil salespeople.

My adult son has autism, it’s a standing joke between us that I gave it to him by getting him vaccinated.  He also doesn’t appreciate being used as a prop by anti-vaccine loons.

I remember that during his rape trial, Ms. Washington was asked if she’d tried to fight back. She replied (paraphrased) “You’re asking me if I tried to fight back against Mike Tyson?”.

...cut the financial balls off these bastards...

That’s a really valid take. Any staff with a uterus, or the uterus-having family of staff, is in serious danger in that state. AFAIK they still haven’t even worked out what to do in case of ectopic pregnancies (no, you can’t reimplant the embryo in the uterus, the embryo cannot survive, and the pregnant person will die…

Let’s remember that most people in Georgia didn’t elect the moron into office. He’s there because he systematically gerrymandered districts and committed widespread election fraud, not because the majority of Georgians wanted him there.

Nine black trans women killed this year. Jesus. Three every two months. It’s not even half way through the year.

He then found out she was male.

I feel Anthony should be cut some slack, because a man asking for consent before he sends a dick pic should be encouraged.
