This morning my gynecologist introduced herself by telling me her pronouns and asking me mine and when getting my medical history asked if I had sex with sperm producing partners. This is the future liberals want

Your "personal experience" is absolutely not relevant to the lived experiences of the actual women agreeing with her. Also, calling us "girls" is not correct. We're grown-ass women, not children.

Being poor now just leads to being more poor later. Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out? Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest.

I’m 31 and I think I’m hot. Can being an adult woman be hot please? Signed, every woman with some self confidence over 25. Furthermore I’d love to see other sexy women over 25 in RTs and replies for science thanks. ✨❤️💖

The ability to have any one person spend a month without a key privilege (class, race, gender, sexuality, etc.) so that they can become more empathetic. This reflects my fear that we won't overcome bias and prejudice without directly accessing the lived experiences of others.

Im a little disappointed @BootsUK I asked a staff member in the Holloway branch if they had any plasters for brown skin tones (as i know they have been introduced) she said it was “a little racist of me” to ask for brown skin toneplasters & suggested I get the clear plaster

Elliot Page can still be a lesbian if they want to be, and if you don't agree with that you can die mad.

I often get held up as an "anyone can excel in tech!" example, and yes it's *possible* but it's certainly not probable there are plenty of people like me who don't get the chance or burn out from abuse

Seriously @instructables? You *removed* support for Chinese names? You really think anyone is going to buy there's a credible technical excuse for not having UTF-8 support in 2020? You're not going to MAGA by just by forcing the rest of the planet to use romanized names.

I just noticed that I used the word "insane" in something recorded when I should have used "wild" or whatever. I'm trying to get out of the habit of using words like that cause it's kinda shitty and ableist, so if you hear me do that, I'd appreciate a reminder. Thanks. Sorry.

For @themandalorian, they hired an actual Deaf actor to play one of the Tusken raiders and help create Tusken Sign Language. 😍 They did this bc a hearing person who knew ASL suggested it. It’s our responsibility, when we’re in the room, to look around and see who’s missing.

Helena (she/her) (@helenalovier)Sat, 31 Oct 2020 00:25 GMT

I had to defend my partner’s gender and their validity at a team standup long ago because someone misgendered them and I wouldn’t back down. “I disagree with you” is a lol well and good for discussing agile practices or something, but I will not give people one inch to be bigots.

Post details

The replacement of "I disagree with you" – which implies this is simply my different opinion – with "that's a bad take" – which implies some sort of universal standard of wrong – sucks.

Doing a solo presentation to about 100 students as the president of hackSheffield, talking about all the great things that we’ve worked so hard as a team to put together for hS6, and getting a “Jen is so cute” in the chat is peak being a woman in STEM. 🤦‍♀️

Turns out @zoom_us has a crappy face-detection algorithm that erases black faces...and determines that a nice pale globe in the background must be a better face than what should be obvious.
