It gets more bonkers! This is from Madrigal's press release.

We're sure he'll be delighted learn that TW are not killed, tortured, beaten, or excluded from health, employment, housing, & education.

It's almost like having robust equality law makes the real difference. Image
It isn't clear why Victor feels a piece of paper would stop these abuses though. Does the paper magically convince everyone these are real women?

If so, he should consider that in much of the world women are also killed & excluded, so it wouldn't make much difference!
Fortunately, in Scotland we have protections - although women are still much more unsafe that TW (no murders ever in Scotland).

Perhaps Victor should concentrate on those countries which do not protect human rights - unless of course there is another agenda at play?

"The court says... a GRC changes whether someone is a woman or a man for the law governing single sex services and anti-discrimination measures." Thread for @AnasSarwar @jackiebmsp and all who care about @ScottishLabour manifesto commitments. #NoToSelfID

First up, single-sex grassroots sports. From women-only swimming sessions to clubs for teenage girls, providers are already scared to make separate provision on the basis of sex. Opening up GRCs to a larger, undefined group will make it impossible to address this. #NoToSelfID
The girls and women who most need single-sex sports opportunities - including from some religious groups, and those who've experienced male violence - will likely self-exclude from 'single-sex' opportunities if they can't be sure that they are female only.

O que foi a controvérsia Gamergate? Testemunhei tudo, sem participar, em 2014. Vou relatar o que lembro.

Uma desenvolvedora medíocre de jogos recebeu resenhas positivas nos principais sites de jornalismo do setor. Ninguém a conhecia antes. Aí apareceu o Tumblr do ex-namorado.
O ex-namorado basicamente alegou que ela foi uma namorada abusiva e que ganhou atenção da imprensa de jogos por fazer favores sexuais ao menos a um jornalista específico. Descobriram que os jornalistas de sites supostamente concorrentes tinham uma lista em que orquestravam pauta.
Ou seja, sites de jornalismo de games estavam mancomunados num cartel de pauta. Lembro que até entrevistaram um especialista em ética jornalística, que declarou a pråtica uma corrupção do jornalismo (duh, claro!). Esse cartel era também ideológico: política identitåria radical.
