It's not 'Self ID' When it comes to legal gender recognition. It's Self Declaration/Determination. 'Self ID' was popularised by the anti-gender movement. It transposes a negative pop psychology term onto a legal framework based on the human rights to dignity, privacy & bodily autonomy.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Trump: But right now, I think I'm sharper than I was 25 years ago. I took my physical. I got all A's, everything. But they said to me, would you like to take a cognitive test? I said, is it hard? They said, yes. I said, well, I'm a very smart person.

To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The Twitter account for the Turning Point USA chapter at OU seems to have only started posting last week with an anti-trans pressure campaign. And then, oh gosh, what are the odds that they just happened to immediately find someone who claims to have been discriminated against by a trans person?

This hasn't gotten much traction, but late last week, Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan announced plans for
A) A social media ban for under-16s.
B) To achieve this, introducing mandatory digital ID requirements for all Irish users of social media platforms.
