> The White House strikes out at gender ideology and pronouns. Also: ends housing of biological men in women’s prisons

For anyone wondering how this will hurt people (even more), I recommend looking up Kara Sternquist. Deviant Ollam had a talk going into it [1] and posted a recent update [2].

I haven't looked into your links yet but I suggest reading about vcoding. There are endless stories about trans women being r-ed tens or hundreds of times during their stay in prison.

> The Executive Order ends the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded “transition” for male prisoners.

This is also messed up. Basically forces trans people in prison to medically detransition.

I predict this will have a devastating effect on the tech industry, for obvious reasons.

These will not be the funnest four years in US history, and I can imagine the countless human rights abuses that will follow.

To me the effects are not obvious for tech, care to elaborate?

My trans colleagues feel threatened with discrimination. Calling their identities a "radical ideology" is quite a lot.
