Transgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Has Gavin Newsom really signed the most pro-trans bills of any governor?English
5·8 小时前Several other Democratic governors are deeply supportive of trans people, such as Jared Polis of Colorado, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Maura Healey of Massachusetts, Tina Kotek of Oregon, Janet Mills of Maine, Tony Evers of Wisconsin, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Laura Kelly of Kansas — and there are several more. Some have signed pro-trans bills into law, but their states haven’t seen such a volume of legislation to protect the rights of the trans community, and in some cases, they have vetoed anti-trans bills. Those who’ve done so include Evers, Beshear, and Kelly, with Beshear’s and Kelly’s vetoes overridden by Republican-majority legislatures.
Newsom outraged many trans people and their supporters, however, with his comments this year on a podcast with right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Newsom said letting trans girls and women compete in sports alongside cisgender females is “deeply unfair.” Newsom has repeated that a few times, including in the interview with Klein.
But there is no evidence that trans female athletes have an inherent advantage over their cisgender counterparts, and there are many other factors besides gender assigned at birth that affect athletic performance.
However, Newsom has sometimes stood up for trans athletes. He has resisted the Trump administration’s pressures on the state to rescind its trans-inclusive school sports policy.
The interview with Klein also set off another skirmish in Newsom’s feud with right-wing billionaire Elon Musk. Musk has a trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has cut ties with him. Musk repeatedly deadnames and misgenders her.

transgender@piefed.blahaj.zone•Cis "Squid Game" actor says he didn't want his trans character to be a "caricature"English
12·8 小时前While Park did not directly address the backlash, he noted in a January 8 interview with local reporters that he approached the role with “caution,” and consulted with actual trans people in an effort to make sure Hyun-ju would not come off as a “caricature,” according to Korea JoongAng Daily, the English language edition of South Korean daily newspaper JoongAng Ilbo.
Hwang, meanwhile, addressed criticism of his casting of Park late last month, telling TVGuide.com that while he initially intended to cast a transgender actress, “there are close to no actors that are openly trans, let alone openly gay, because unfortunately in the Korean society currently the LGBTQ community is rather still marginalized and more neglected, which is heartbreaking.”
In a subsequent interview with Decider, Hwang explained why he felt it was important to include a trans character in the show’s second season.
“I saw the people who come to join the games in Squid Game as people who are usually marginalized or neglected from society, and not just financially speaking,” he said. “Today, unfortunately, in Korean society, the gender minority is a group that is not as accepted widely within society. Which is why I created the character Hyun-ju as a male to female transgender woman.”

Canada@lemmy.ca•Here We Go Again: Internet Age Verification and Website Blocking Bill Reintroduced in the Senate (With Some Changes)English
12·9 小时前Once captured by the law – sites that deliberately transmit pornographic materials to minors and do not use government-approved age verification or age estimation technologies – the enforcement side kicks in. The enforcement of the bill is left to the designated regulatory agency, which can issue notifications of violations to websites and services. Those notices can include the steps the agency wants followed to bring the site into compliance. This literally means the government via its regulatory agency will dictate to sites how they must interact with users to ensure no underage access. If the site fails to act as instructed within 20 days, the regulator can apply for a court order mandating that Canadian ISPs block the site from their subscribers. The regulator would be required to identify which ISPs are subject to the blocking order.
Bill S-209 is better than its predecessor as it seeks to exclude search and other incidental distribution, adopts a new standalone definition for pornographic materials, and sets a higher bar for the technology itself. Yet many concerns remain: the bill still envisions court ordered website blocking, including blocking access to lawful content by those entitled to access it. In fact, the bill expressly states that the effect of the blocking may “have the effect of preventing persons in Canada from being able to access material other than pornographic material made available by the organization.” Orders that knowingly block lawful content is certain to raise Charter of Rights challenges.
