Ads that show men or women carrying out tasks with which their genders are sometimes associated, such as women doing the shopping or men doing DIY tasks, will also be permitted.
Using that justification wouldn't any shot of a woman, sans man, caring for a child now be in the Bad Things category?"We acknowledged that becoming a parent was a life-changing experience that required significant adaptation, but taking care of children was a role that was stereotypically associated with women," the body added in its ruling.

Archived link below, but here the summary of their legal situation:
It's unclear if they paid for other legal bills with funds they raised in the past, but at least now, they are net deficit of nearly $28K, and they are expecting another bill to arrive shortly to add to that deficit."And then the legal defense fund:
- Amount of legal bills on credit card: $20,754
- Legal bills unpaid: $8,533
- Balance in the legal fund: $1,490
- Net legal bills needing to be covered: $27,797
"(We’ll be receiving another large bill next week for July. Yay us.)"
The first part of the post outlines the finances of the conference. The TL;DR version: total conference cost estimated at a bit over $30K, but still short almost $11K.

The Guardian Newspaper Has Lost Two Trans Employees Over Its Reporting On Trans Issues
“It suddenly became real,” one trans staff member told BuzzFeed News. “I’m entering this building with people who are denying my humanity.”
A transgender employee of The Guardian – which once called itself the “world’s leading liberal voice” – has resigned accusing the newspaper in an email to staff of being “an incredibly transphobic organisation”.
In a cutting resignation letter sent last month, the employee said the paper “fundamentally not only stands against my own values but also against what I am”. A second staff member resigned weeks later, also citing the “harm” they say the newspaper is doing to trans people.
Following the leak of the email to BuzzFeed News, the trans employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said she felt complicit in the newspaper’s "transphobic" reporting by continuing to work there, and revealed the damaging effect the Guardian’s coverage of transgender people has had on her wellbeing. This included fear of using the women’s toilet at work.
Such editorial lines, she said, are a “blind spot” for the largely progressive publication which last month published a long read criticising other news outlets for their stigmatizing coverage of refugees, another marginalised group.
The former employee also said colleagues had made transphobic remarks to her.
Her resignation marks a flashpoint in what multiple sources at the Guardian have described to BuzzFeed News as a deepening internal war over the rights of transgender people – and how the organisation reports on them. Staff members across several departments accused the paper of “institutional transphobia”, peddling transphobic tropes, and allowing a bitter schism to develop between pro- and anti-trans journalists.
More here:Shortly after, during two separate incidents at informal drinks with colleagues, one member of staff who had previously been Victoria’s friend at work defended the article, she said, and began citing trans women in sports as a reason to attack trans rights. Another colleague, she said, “poked fun” at her, asked if she was trans, and told her, “If you went to prison I’m not sure which prison you should go to.”
The Graun has printed the odd article that defends the TERF POV, and even those bent over backwards and scattered the usual caveats to state that they are not opposed to trans rights, etc.InfraRedBucket wrote: ↑ Even the "woke" Guardian is now transphobic..

Jeremiah Button’s jury trial in Portage County was just two weeks away when he disappeared in early 2016. Charged with first degree child sexual assault and possession of child pornography, Button had been out on a $25,000 cash bond for about a year and a half when he vanished.
That was when he built the bunker, he would later tell deputies with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office. Carved into an embankment near the Ice Age Trail on state land in the township of Ringle and protected from sight by thickened underbrush that he himself had helped create, Button would escape detection from law enforcement for almost three and a half years until a concerned hunter called police last Friday, Aug. 9.
What's wrong with "mate"? It is the perfect non gender specific catch all.
Once upon a time, if you told me about millions of adults joining a thirteen-year-old retard's crusade to save the planet from destruction, I'd swear you were talking about a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
To take an autistic teenager with an eating disorder and other mental health issues and tell her the world is going to end and it's up to her to save it rather meets my definition of child abuse.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑Once upon a time, if you told me about millions of adults joining a thirteen-year-old retard's crusade to save the planet from destruction, I'd swear you were talking about a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
What pronoun does the "they" use to refer to theyselves? "We"?
She quite categorically states that she doesn't believe that the world is going to end. She also states that she was pissed off by the apparent inaction by leaders around climate change, so set up her one day a week protest. She did not expect to go viral (so it wasn't a Machiavellian plot by her parents to profit).screwtape wrote: ↑To take an autistic teenager with an eating disorder and other mental health issues and tell her the world is going to end and it's up to her to save it rather meets my definition of child abuse.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑Once upon a time, if you told me about millions of adults joining a thirteen-year-old retard's crusade to save the planet from destruction, I'd swear you were talking about a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
It's funny, the guy seems like a decent one hit wonder, and they obviously threw this video together. But you think they would have considered a stand-in actor? He's 33 years old in this, singing to a teen girl, looks like Harvey Keitel with long hair and serial killer eyes. Today this would be career suicide.

In a recent speech, she states climate change will "most likely lead to the end of civilization as we know it." Granted, "as we know it" is the weasliest of weasel words, but this is basically in the same ball park as "the world is going to end", another weasel phrase.KiwiInOz wrote: ↑

Youth see things in black and white. Autistic youth even more so.
Good on her. I wouldn't have had that gumption or composure at that age.
I wouldn't want to be too quick to accept a comparison. Not before someone has at least a rough estimate for what the carbon footprint of the first one was.
I think the "climate crisis" people are mistaking the purpose of protests. In a democracy it is a way to raise awareness of an issue among voters so that the change can come through the ballot box. It seems that some of these people think the purpose of protest is to bypass democracy and get their agenda implemented directly. Even if they are right about what needs to be done, a democracy does not work that way.Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote: ↑ Whatever anyone may think about climate change, children do not have the experience or cynicism needed to deal with such politically charged subjects.
She can be 100% right, but it still won't work on a more astute population. You know, the voting type...

I think one should be careful to differentiate between the political ideologues whose stance on climate is informed by their anti-conservative views and those people who have an understanding of the issue and genuinely want to inform.Driftless wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 1:19 pmI think the "climate crisis" people are mistaking the purpose of protests.

I agree. On the other side, conservatives, or at least conservative intellectuals, tend to take the complementary view that they are the rearguard in a war they're destined to lose, as in William F Buckley's famous declaration that the role of a conservative is to "stand athwart history, yelling stop". I think one reason Trump is so popular among the GOP rank and file is that, instead of being gloomily defensive temperamentally, he takes it to the other side.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑

Regarding progressive entitlement, in this video Robin Aitken explains the progressive mindset exemplified by the BBC. He thinks that the modern Left regard political history as moving inexorably toward their preferred destination and it is their moral right to ensure that it happens regardless of anyone else's opinion. I think he is absolutely right and it explains the deranged response to Trump, Brexit, "populism" and anti-EU sentiment. The prog Left seem genuinely incensed at the derailing of their righteous choo choo and they can't quite believe that it isn't Nazis and racist "gammons" doing it.

He really shouldn't wear tight jeans if he wants to be heard.
I haven't actually talked to them yet. It was a group activity, where we only did name introductions. They then had a breakdown about half an hour into the activity and left. Someone asked the instructor if they were okay during a break, and got corrected on their pronoun use and I happened to by nearby that I could overhear the conversation. I can probably get away with never having to talk or refer to them in any way. Although, I'm already using "they" here. Mostly because I'm unsure. I'd guess a male with long hair.Service Dog wrote: ↑What pronoun does the "they" use to refer to theyselves? "We"?
According to me, anyone who demands special pronouns is at-least required to jump thru their own hoop & consistently refer to themselves soley using their own rules.
