In banning trans women from chess the insane anti-trans lobby has fully revealed their hand. They don't just believe that sex is a non-material immutable binary, they also think that women are intellectually inferior. Which is what we've been saying they believe from the start  — Katy Montgomerie 🦗 (@KatyMontgomerie) August 16, 2023ALT

Important to note that ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (a direct quote from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.

Not trying to deflect from the blatant and virulent transmisogyny present here. Just giving a bit more info.

Erin Reed did a good breakdown of the ruling here:

Astarion realizing after 200 years of having sex with people against his will that he, in fact, doesn't care about sex because his experience with it was so warped and fucked up.

Astarion using sex as a defense mechanism, an all too familiar means to an end, and using depravity as a facade to distract from the threat he represents and survive.

Astarion realizing what he wants is what sex represents: the companionship, the connection, the care, the genuine intimacy of being truly known and safe.

Astarion falling in love with Tav because of who they choose to be and the choices they make rather than through physical attraction and "sparks".

Astarion finding actual fulfilment in a sex-less relationship where he never has to be reminded of what he had to do.

Astarion being, functionally, the sluttiest asexual to ever walk the earth.

sorry I make this post frequently but apple really doesn't get enough hate

birdblogwhichisforbirds

so if you don't like them it's fine. I know a lot of people who are really mean to picky eaters about their preferences, and it doesn't actually help.

However, some people only think they hate apples because they've only tried the horrible mealy Red "Delicious" variety. If that's the case, you might be surprised by how much you enjoy a tastier variety. Honeycrisp and Cosmic crisp are some of the most popular apples and they are really good.

https://applerankings.com/ is a great, and wittily written, trove of apple reviews and information and will help you find nice apples. It is focused on apples available in the US, and idk where you are. I really miss discovery apples, which don't seem to be a thing this side of the Atlantic.

They can be a little pricey though. Obviously I don't know your personal situation, but if that's an issue, there might be local programs that can help. I don't know where you live, but here in Seattle there's a program called Fresh Bucks that gives people $40/month to spend on fruit and vegetables at local farmers markets. There might be something like that near you. Or, if you just really wanna try a really nice apple and it's not accessible to you, dm me and I can PayPal you something. I just want everyone to have the chance to have a nice apple from time to time.

Anyway, like I said, if you just truly don't like any apples, you are 100% valid and you shouldn't force yourself to eat something you don't like. Body autonomy includes not having to eat foods you hate. But I'd hate for you to go through life not knowing how much you could enjoy a high-quality apple, just because you've only experienced the worst apples.
