A trans woman who's attracted to other women would be a trans lesbian, if that's what was tripping you up.

I'm in Mumbai. The 37km north-south journey from one end of the city to the other costs 20¢ on the local train. $1.20 if you want to ride the fancy train with AC. East-west is 13km and costs 50¢ on the elevated metro line.

Found one and updated it!

 

As it turns out it doesn't actually cost that much on regular transit, there's an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it's an "airport train".

No wonder Americans don't use public transit, even when the system exists it's ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.

They're also trying to make a movie about Hind Rajab's murder while her family is still stuck under the genocidal occupation that killed her

Just about every state and province in North America could claim that title once you're outside the bigger cities

93% of gynecological research is conducted on men? Research into ovarian cancer? Development into drugs for preeclampsia?

That's not what that means at all. It means gynecological research + research into other issues that only affect female physiology only accounts of 7% of all medical research. The other 93% is either focused on general or male-specific issues (and conducted mostly on men).

Issues that affect both women and men still often tend to affect both in different ways -- but the majority of medical research tends to just take what works for the standard male body and apply that to everyone regardless of sex instead of investigating sex-specific effects and tailoring solutions around that

 

The Bluesky moderation team is unfairly suspending the accounts of Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip left right and center, and suppressing their ability to keep the world informed of the hell they're being subjected to. Why? We've no clue, but we're hoping a popular wave of support will help change that. Please sign up!

There's no "might" about it -- the entire system is dyed bright saffron and the ruling regime has mastered the art of keeping it that way to maintain their iron grip on power and cover for their gaping failures in economy and governance
