Somali families in St. Louis Park push to let children opt out of reading LGBTQ+ books

This could go in any one of a number of threads. Mad story. The Ireland ladies basketball team had to play Israel last week. They weren’t keen, especially after the Israeli team tweeted a photo of some IDF soldiers visiting the team. A few Ireland players pulled out and the team was threatened with being banned from competing if they didn’t fulfill the fixture. In the latest twist, Meta just informed them that their Insta account has been “permanently deleted”. WTF?

Lesbian members bar will only admit biological women

I saw that. How are they going to police that unless they're going to inspect them.
They're probably going to just go on gut feeling, which judging by the enormous amount of transphobes calling cis women (and cis men) trans online is going to go... poorly.
Yep it sounds a sure-fire recipe for some excruciating interactions at the door.
Always nice to see the right wing press taking a sudden interest in lesbians' wellbeing.
It seem to be a members club as thats the only legal way to discriminate against people.
I’m guessing people have to join up and get accepted before going into the bar. Basically the same 10 terfs will meet up every week.
Quite possibly.You'd imagine the views of the proprietor alone would be a big deterrent to transwomen.
Yep exactly. Terfs have this conspiracy theory that trans people are controlling everything.
When really the reality is trans people are just like everyone else. They want a bar which serves cheap drinks and plays George Michael tunes.
Now...
It could have gone in more than one thread, but I say it's very appropriate here because of the context behind that defection. Hopefully that family will see the true meaning of FAFO for as long as it takes as our government better not let them back in.

Gotta wonder what's broken in her brain. She's a billionaire sitting in her castle in Scotland, using her money to shit up the lives of an already beleaguered group.

They wanted to escape the decadent depravity of the west, it sounds like they got what they wanted, no?
Pretty much.
It is also a reason why it would be better for the Canadian government to leave them there instead of responding to their pleas. After all, most Canadians who discussed on the topic since outright said they don't want them back.I'd look into this because Katy is a known liar.
From the groups crowdfunder:
We have previously taken two separate judicial reviews on the definition of “woman” in the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018 and the accompanying Statutory Guidance, winning the first and losing the second. This legislation relies on definitions set out in the Equality Act 2010 and the judicial reviews have served to show that a definition of "sex" that is inclusive of a person's "acquired gender" on a Gender Recognition Certificate leaves the Equality Act opaque and unworkable for many women. There needs to be clarity that sex is a biological term and while the UK Government recognises this, it is yet to take any remedial action in response to the second judicial review ruling. We have strong grounds to appeal the decision by the Court of Session and have been granted permission for the case to be heard by the UK Supreme Court.

So it seems it's around the definitions on "woman" on Scottish legislation and how that links back to the equalities act of 2010, not a group trying to remove the gender recognition act as is claimed.
There is always much more nuance (both sides) but people (on both sides) just make up shit.

It's actions like this that gives (still unwarranted) credence to the whole "Israel control the media" shit. It's just insane, like, just let people have freedom to conscientiously object ffs, you're feeding AS tropes and giving these people fuel.
Grim.
Yeah, this is mental. It'll end in tears, if you're cis and get inspected, the people basically have just said that you look like a bloke - which is very offensive.
You'll also unfortunately get people who pass attempting to get in en mass to scupper it and prove the valid point, that you can't "always tell" in some Gonzo/social media style "journalism".
Just an idea for clicks for the culture wars for GB News et al to froth over.
I predict that in the run up to the American election, that entire system is co-opted and subverts reality in favour of Trump.
They were mean to her online and he massive ego couldn't cope.

On what basis would the Canadian government refuse to let a Canadian family into Canada?
Strip them of citizenship maybe??
Again, on what basis?
They're the Government, they don't always need to have a reason, I'm not familiar with this specific case or Canadian law, but in the UK being born there is no longer an automatic right to citizenship, so if it isn't an automatic right it then logically it could be revoked
In the UK, the laws for revoking someone's citizenship are very strict. Same in Canada. They absolutely would have to have a reason, it would be extremely illegal to revoke it just because.
It's the daily Kos ffs.
