I think that the CDC should continue business as usual, and just censor the offensive words, preferably with a big black line. That should make the point clearly enough.

"███████████ is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth. Gender identity refers to one’s internal understanding of one’s own gender, or the gender with which a person identifies. Gender expression is a term used to describe people’s outward presentation of their gender."

As a side note, are they able to say things like "fetal microencephalopathy" or do they have to say "baby brain small" now?

Agreed. The "that is all" really jumps out at me because of how much more this is.

I remember hearing something recently that Disney was looking to purchase the rights for the other Marvel properties from Fox, but it had fallen through. I suppose they went with the same route that Activision went through with when they bought Blizzard. "If you can't beat them, buy them."

Well, you know what they say about being the change you want to see. I'll try posting some #canada and #cdnpoli stuff.

Thanks!

There's a wonderful documentary done by Stephen Fry about his love of Wagner in the face of Wagner's rampant antisemitism.

Can anyone tell me why this post is in my feed? I just created my account so I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I'm not following OP, any of these tags, or the domain so I don't know why this is showing up for me.

Ok cool I found the tag and followed it. When I go to my feed now, though, I'm still getting a bunch of posts from tags I'm not following. Is there somewhere I can go where I can only see the stuff that I'm interested in?

How do I follow a tag? I looked at the FAQ but I'm not seeing anything on any part of this page for me to follow.

Here's a screenshot of where I get stuck.
