I heard a rumor on another site that there will be a reboot of Miku's Ribbon Girl outfit. Is that true, or did I miss it?

This is a very funny, yet well-made video explaining why "trans ideology" is bullshit.

Enjoy! 😁

This dude looks like a MAGAt, but is an ally. I thank him for this video, I needed it. 💙🏳️‍⚧️

I love @DylanMuvaney, and even though I'm rarely on IG, she does come up in my feed every now and then whenever I remember it exists. 😅

This is such a positive video that I had to share! Hope her reminder helps brighten your weekend.

And remember, **you are loved!** 💙🤍🩷🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I'm watching Frieren for the first time, and I was wondering, does Fern come with the lotus bracelet?

Also, I'd love to see everyone's Fern and Frieren!

Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed the FAIR Act on Monday, banning landlords from using algorithmic software that recommends rents based on competing landlords’ private, nonpublic data, a practice state officials say helped drive up housing costs through unlawful coordination. Sherrill said the problem is that these tools “put competing landlords on the same team against renters,” adding that the law is meant to stop landlords from “coordinating prices, moving in lockstep, and pushing rents higher and higher”.

The measure comes amid growing scrutiny of rent-setting platforms such as RealPage, which the article says has been sued by the U.S. Department of Justice and New Jersey over allegations that its software helped landlords coordinate rent prices in violation of antitrust laws. The Jersey Vindicator reports that the New Jersey Senate passed the FAIR Act on June 18 and the Assembly approved it on June 30, while the governor’s office said the Attorney General’s Office will create an online system for tenants and others to report alleged violations.

Supporters of the law argue that New Jersey’s housing shortage is still the main driver of high rents, but say the FAIR Act can stop additional price increases caused by algorithmic coordination. The law is not a blanket ban on all landlord software, it targets systems that collect competitors’ rental data, analyze it through an algorithm, and recommend prices or occupancy levels, making New Jersey’s move one of the strongest state-level actions yet against rent-setting software.

A lot of good news! Here’s the part about trans records:

“New privacy protections for transgender Californians

In California, when transgender and nonbinary people change their names, gender and sex identifiers on official documents, those petitions are public records that have, in some cases, led to people being forcibly outed and harassed. […]

While a 2023 law already required courts to keep those records confidential for minors, the Transgender Privacy Act extends that protection to people of all ages this year. […]

SB 59 applies to any petition filed on or after July 1, and people with older records can request their records be made confidential as well. It also prohibits anyone other than the petitioner from posting confidential records online.”

Other new laws: Schools are required to have a gender-neutral bathroom, and middle and high schools have to print the Trevor Project hotlines on ID cards.

A federal judge has blocked Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s directive targeting gender-affirming care for transgender youth, ruling the policy exceeded his legal authority and violated federal administrative law. The decision prevents the federal government from using Medicare and Medicaid funding threats to pressure hospitals into ending medically accepted care while legal challenges continue.

SSA just updated their POMS page with new information about sex markers.

https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0110212200

TL;DR: Similar to passports, now if you apply for anything new in SSA, your gender marker will likely be reversed. However there isn't any automatic, retroactive mass reversal of previously changed gender markers. Your gender marker should be ok if you don't apply for anything at SSA, kind of how passport renewals trigger gender marker reversions.

>The agency is only correcting or changing the sex field on the NUMIDENT to reflect the NH’s sex at birth.

>Evidence of sex: U.S. Born: a birth certificate (BC) established by a State or local bureau of vital statistics (BVS) that reflects the NH's sex at birth. . . The NUMIDENT sex field established through enumeration at birth (EAB).

>NOTE: Do not accept an amended, corrected (GN 00302.510), or delayed BC (GN 00302.540) as proof to correct the sex field unless accompanied by an amendment affidavit or supporting documentation that clearly indicates the reason for the amendment.

Their records work like a stack of entries/versions of your SSA record (including gender marker), the latest entry is the one used for everything (For example: Background checks, SSN verifications, credit checks, etc.).

As long as the latest entry is the one with your correct gender, you should be ok. BUT if you ask for a name change or anything, a new entry/iteration will be created with your sex at birth, making that marker be used for everything, effectively reversing your marker!

>we update the NUMIDENT by creating a new iteration appended to the previous iteration. The applicant must submit a new application and provide supporting documentation (e.g., a birth certificate to correct the NH's date of birth information).

DISCLAIMER: This is all the information I know, I am not an expert.

Please correct me if I'm wrong since I am panicked too and I might be wrong.​
