    I don't like the implication of having separate rooms with the transgender symbol. Barring cultural revolution, just have a few Gender Neutral/Accessible and Gender Neutral single occupancy rooms.

    Humans have sexual dimorphism, personal preferences, and can dissociate. You'd still have "trans" people transitioning their bodies in a post-gender world. Any specifics are hard-to-impossible to theorize about but would be great to explore in science fiction.

    Yes, definitely. The parent is clearly treating the child as property, doing so in a cissexist manner, and attempting to destroy the child's sense of self. However, it's super normalized.

    Well, incongruence between one's physical body and one's mental image of one's self would still exist without gender. But yes, socially constructed roles have an immense impact on people's psyche. This is already partially recognized by the mainstream transgender community through the existence of social dysphoria as a subtype of gender dysphoria.

    > After facing the flak on the job reservation bill, the Karnataka government is now planning to increase the working hours of IT employees to 14 hours a day from the current 10, triggering opposition from IT sector unions. The proposal to amend the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishment Act to facilitate 14-hour working day was presented in a meeting called by the labour department with various stakeholders in the industry. The representatives of the Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) have already met with labour minister Santosh Lad and raised their concerns over the move. > > The proposed new bill ‘Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments (Amendment) Bill 2024’ attempts to normalise a 14-hour work day. The existing act only allows a maximum of 10 hours work per day including overtime, which has been completely lifted in the current amendment. > > IT sector unions have come out in public in protest against the move, calling it 'inhuman’, that will have implications on 2 million workers in the state. "It will facilitate the IT/ITES companies to extend the daily hours of work indefinitely. This amendment will allow the companies to go for a two shift system instead of the currently existing three shift system and one-third of the workforce will be thrown out from their employment. During the meeting, KITU pointed out the studies on the health impact of extended working hours among the IT employees," said Suhas Adiga, general secretary of KITU. > > According to a KCCI report, 45 per cent of employees in the IT sector are facing mental health issues such as depression and 55 per cent facing physical health impacts. Increasing working hours will further aggravate this situation. A WHO-ILO study says increased working hours will lead to an estimated 35 per cent higher risk of death by stroke and 17 per cent higher risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, the union said. absolute surplus value go ![stonks-up](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Ff8522e9d-81f3-400d-958d-9fd9bfecf6ab.png "emoji stonks-up") god damn the 21st century sucks

    Supreme Court ruled the President gets near absolute immunity and can't have evidence brought forth against him lmaoo > Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. > Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

    c/womenby has reopened

    We're reopening the community so that there's a space on Hexbear dedicated to discussing feminist issues. However, that does not mean c/womenby will now be exclusively for that. Feel free to use it as you would have before its closure. ![aubrey-happy](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fb135cff4-1761-4e81-aea6-effdb17245b3.png "emoji aubrey-happy") You can discuss in this thread what you'd like to see out of the comm as well as any potential changes you'd want.

    > In the past few months, “overcapacity” has become the key theme among Western politicians looking to fight back against China’s dominance in energy transition sectors. "Overcapacity" is a tool of memetic warfare used by the Group of Imperialists who are so detached from reality that they believe China will just stop developing because they asked... and not even nicely > Sustainable Aviation Fuel is another large future market for Green Hydrogen. Contrary to aerodyne lobby propaganda, airplanes aren't the only flying mode of transportation that can use green hydrogen > Western countries always complain about China dominating green energy supply chain. Okay, then don’t buy the machines that produce green energy. China can use its own machines to generate green energy and ship that to you. Wrong. America will put sanctions on Chinese hydrogen to ensure another couple degrees of warming. Then they'll sabotage the Pan-Eurasian Hydrogen Pipeline. Assuming the Pacific Fleet doesn't get sunk before then, of course

    reopen /c/womenby or create /c/feminism

    I think we should have a feminism comm dedicated to feminist theory, women's issues, etc. There's already feminist discussions on Hexbear fairly frequently, so I foresee there being enough activity to warrant a community. However, @thelastaxolotl suggested just reusing c/womenby when I brought this up last month, so here's my formal request for either a feminism community or the reopening of c/womenby. ...also how do we nominate mods?
