Alison Collins, the SF school board commissioner who was stripped of her committee appointments after calling insufficiently woke Asian Americans "house n*****s," is now suing the board & five board members for $15 million EACH for "severe emotional distress," among other things.
According to Collins' complaint, "$12,000,000.00 will only tip the scale in the direction of injustice," and "to protect the public from the gross misuse of governmental power" she must be awarded an addition $3 million from each defendant in punitive damages.
Again, Collins believes she's owed in excess of $60 million because she was stripped of her VP title and committee appointments — but NOT removed from the board — after she tweeted a racial slur against a community 35% of the district's students belong to

At the end of the day, biological sex is about having the tissues to produce/support big gametes (female) or little gametes (male), and external genitalia are a highly accurate proxy for that. It's not that complicated, and CNN can't will society to pretend that it is.
Biologists have studied sex and sexual reproduction in a multitude of living things that don't have any concepts for gender/gender identity, in virtually all cases using visible phenotype to effectively sex subjects because yeah, it really does work
Plenty of animals are tricky to sex when young (many birds and reptiles, for example), but they're male or female regardless, and in nearly every case there's some proxy for sex that breeders can use. Occasional missexing doesn't invalidate either the method or the concept of sex

Reading the replies, you get the sense that twitter thinks tech people have no experience with other parts of the country or world outside of the bay area, which is just hilariously untrue
The bay area didn't become a dominant tech hub (arguably, THE dominant tech hub) by accident. The region has a lot going for it. I don't think anyone is thrilled about leaving. The tendency to immediately turn on anyone who can't make it work is a huge part of the culture problem
Like, if someone tells you "hey, young artists and creatives can't pay $1000 for a room, especially somewhere where everything else is marked up accordingly," retorting "WE HAVE CULTURE YOU'RE JUST SQUARE" isn't helping anybody

Now that violent hate crimes against Asian Americans are gaining media attention, CCP advocates are seizing the moment to call Uighur concentration camps "a fake genocide."

Racial discrimination against Asians, "model minority" bullshit, etc. don't absolve the CCP of anything.
For one thing, Chinese Uighurs ARE ASIANS, and they're telling the world what's happening to them at the hands of the CCP *themselves.* It's insane to argue that listening to them is, in any sense, anti-Asian or "yellow peril."
"The evidence, including from the Chinese Government's own documents, satellite imagery, and eyewitness testimony is overwhelming." cnn.com/2021/03/22/pol…

SF school board continues its hot mess streak. I'd like to say that accusing Asians of white supremacy is the most absurd thing yet, but incredibly that is arguable
FWIW, this is the same board member who effectively led the charge to dismantle the admissions process for the city's only nationally-competitive public high school in order to racially rebalance the student body, which is... majority Asian
What I find most irritating about this is that everyone paying attention knew Collins was making comments like this, even in the context of discussions about school board business. Nobody cared until hate crimes against Asians became the hashtag issue of the week.

There's a fundamental misconception about cancel culture that I really think needs to be corrected: the idea that being "anti-cancel culture" means being against very strong social consequences/punishments *in general*
Most concerns about cancel culture have to do with three common features:

- The punishment is vastly disproportionate to the "crime"

- There are critical extenuating factors that are readily ignored

- There can be no redemption, even via sincere apology & demonstrable growth
I bring this up because there's been a recent slew of public figures & wannabe activists outright lying — verifiably, and in public — with the obvious intention of causing maximum destruction to the victims' lives. This isn't hard: people who do this should be fucking cancelled.
