Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Why at birth? Why isn't it "this is the room for penises and this is the room for vaginas"? We only wanna stop creeps from invading the others. Wtf is this whole war on choice bs?
Assigned sex and genitals aren't synonymous. Intersex is a thing. Also Güevedoces, the young "girls" (according to this genital-at-birth definition) in the Dominican Republic who go through male puberty, cause they're actually male genetically speaking
Creeps aren't stopped by these laws, you twat, it's only about making being trans more obvious and more derided (see, a trans woman now needing to use the men's restroom and a trans man now needing to use the women's (which is likely to cause panic))
Trans people aren't fucking creeps, they're just people. Why is that so hard to understand?
Instead of listening to only right-wing weirdos, listen to the communities that are affected by your malicious actions. You might find some empathy rather than just more misplaced anger
Most importantly, the "reason" for this legislation, men pretending to be women to gain access to the women's restroom, isn't a thing. It's a hypothetical and always has been. Meanwhile, real people are actually harmed by Legislation like this, not just thought people in your thought world
