Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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 Andhra Pradesh ruled that trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.

Transphobes in absolute shambles. transshork-happy

When courts in Hindutva controlled India are more progressive than those in the "enlightened" Western Anglo world. anglo-burn

For a while now they've technically been recognizing hijra as third gender but not recognizing trans women in many places. There's also some friction between people who identify with hijra and their historical practices and trans women which is seen as more western. I've talked to people about this before it's quite different in many places in India on trans issues

Contrary to Western countries, there aren't any ifs or buts, nor are there any exceptions or separate rules.

Just a pure and simple "trans women are women". flag-trans-pride

Don't worry, in a few years, SCOTUS will rule that trans women are fully legally women. This ruling will come 3 days after that *Handmaid's Tale" Gilead law passes that prohibits women from having bank accounts. Trans women will be fully recognized as women....and immediately fall under the full control of their fathers or husbands.

What’s more fascist about India than any other place? Because they have a right winger in charge now?

I know I know but claiming womanhood is only for people who can have children excludes a lot of cis women and its endlessly satisfying transphobes can't actually put a definition to it that excludes us but includes cis women.
