Rita, antifascist 🏴🦯🦯🦯<p>“Transgender sports bans aren’t based in science. To deny trans students from playing sports is “anathema to what public education is all about.</p><p>Two transgender girls in New Hampshire are the first to challenge Trump’s sports ban, Shruti Rajkumar reports.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bans</span></a> <br /><a href="https://prismreports.org/2025/03/31/transgender-girls-school-sports-ban/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">prismreports.org/2025/03/31/tr</span><span class="invisible">ansgender-girls-school-sports-ban/</span></a></p>
ℂ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕖 :verified_trans:<p>Blanket-bans SUCK.</p><p>Over and over, I hear voices who demand bans on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a> access for people below a certain age or general bans of social media.</p><p>Please stop thinking you can just ban the problem away. Think for example about the people who use social media as a safe space... the LGBTQ+ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kids</span></a> and teens in some conservative hinterland who use social media to be able to connect to other <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> kids, which is impossible to do safely in public.<br>There is an undeniable, overproportional impact on marginalized communities.<br>That's just one example.</p><p>To solve the (anti-)social media issue, we need <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moderation</span></a>, not generalized <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bans</span></a> for a certain group.</p>
Declan<p>I really fear what <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Internet</span></a> is becoming. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Cookies</span></a>, accept, decline some nonsense shit that many do not understand; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>laws</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/restrictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>restrictions</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vpns" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vpns</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bans</span></a>, policies, and other stupid rules that defending the world does not exist, etc. What has happened? How did we let it be? It is not the place where I wanna be. I come here to see what I wanna see, to talk to anyone I wanna talk, to post what I wanna post, to find knowledge and skills I was deprived. And what we have now? What do we do then?</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freedomofspeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>freedomofspeech</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>aftermath</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mutualaid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>community</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>help</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/standforeachother" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>standforeachother</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newera" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newera</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newage</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>knowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/edu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>edu</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>revolution</span></a></p>
