1. Three sexual abuse nonprofits have removed all or nearly all references to trans, queer and non binary people (h/t @devtesla.bsky.social) I wrote a second article today to document and archive some of the impacted pages. www.madycast.com/p/capitulati...

(Content Warning) The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network has apparently also removed references to trans people and trans survivors of rape from their webpages. The quoted webpage had stories of trans survivors of sexual assault web.archive.org/web/20241121...

As I understand this is all because of "only 2 genders"? But they still can use other grouping (like age), so can't they just use something that will not directly say trans/nonBinary, e.g. some old fucked up things when things might have been considered as mental health issues?

the only thing i've seen is either not obeying in advance and leaving it all there or doing malicious compliance and only deleting the words while leaving the surrounding framework intact so you know something is missing the list of banned words was pretty annoyingly comprehensive

so it's really a list of censored words? I thought it was more about mentioning gay/trans/non-binary in context of gender (I saw Trump passing something about "only 2 genders") not a complete ban... Doesn't this conflict with free speech regulations somewhere in your laws and/or constitution?
