Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

I hope all the right wing shitheads feel good about this when they're dying because they can't afford healthcare or rent
True. Marginalized groups always get it worse unfortunately. And for what? The right wing shitheads don't even get anything in return. They are morons and will also get screwed over by their own stupidity and bigotry, but I don't care what happens to them and honestly they deserve it. Stupidity and bigotry aren't excuses for bad decisions.
Does this mean I still have time to apply for a passport or am I fucked? All of my other identifying documents are in order.
If anyone came back to check for an answer to this, there kind of isn't one.
A very professional and dedicated man answered my call to the state department for clarification on the new policies and he said this: "We don't know and we don't know when we will know. Follow your gut and do what you think is right, the worst that can happen is that the application gets rejected"

Erin's analysis of the order.
That's the most cissy shit I've ever heard in my fucking life. Pure ideology
Bit idea: invasive tests on cis people to make sure we have the "immutable" characteristics to match our gender. It'd be really funny if this EO caused an explosion in the number of intersex people recognized by the government.
this has already happened w sports and was deeply traumatic for many intersex women involved
I'm trying to think of ways we inconvenience the chuds without harming anyone else.
:doomer:
Maybe we just do the tests on cis people and don't tell them the results?
4chan has been joking about "Penis Inspection Day" for years and by god they finally made it happen.
did they get people to post hog tho?
Enforcing the use of only M and F, and only using the word 'sex', not gender. The X gender marker will probably stop happening.
Trans people will also be excluded from some spaces.
It reads to me like gender changes on federal documents are banned, and trans women will be forced into men's prison as well.
Looks like those are the primary points, yes. But it doesn't say anything about not allowing changes... Maybe that's an oversight that gets amended later? Seems like they're going real hard at trans prisoners and forcing them to detransition.
Hopefully the legality of that will be challenged... But I feel like they've set it up as a trap to have SCOTUS declare us illegal.
This is what I was looking at. If sex is immutable I don't see how you would be allowed to change it (and have it be "accurately represented").
Can't wait for that ruling
It sucks that Rowling is a TERF cause she would have some spitfire with this one
The phrasing in (2)(a) appears to ban changes by defining sex as immutable
“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”
Then what happens to people that have already had legal sex change? Some people have gotten nearly every document changed, including birth certificates.
That's for the courts to decide. "Immutable" seems very clear in this context and I doubt any court will shut this down because it isn't overstepping executive power or breaking precedent.
Iirc Kansas started forcing people to change things back (e.g. if you needed a driver's license renewal)
made me realize I probably shouldn't go through the effort of changing since 1) they would have a record of that change 2) they will probably just change it back or some shit
Sounds like Germany before WW2 all over again.
God fucking damn it, I shouldn't have put it off :(
Reading it now and editing with quotes, sorry
