tl;dw: AMAB and AFAB can be useful in certain contexts, but it's:
-
Brought up too often in contexts it doesn't matter. ASAB should be offered up consensually by the person, never volunteered on their behalf.
-
Often used as shorthand for other things that would be better to talk about directly. For example, a GP needs to know if they have a prostate, a support group wants people that experienced misogyny as a child, a partner asking if they bottom, etc.

Dear Sergey,

One of the key things that some in the "UN is anti-semitic" camp likes to claim is that the UNHRC has many nations that are non-democratic and have known human rights abuses.
But that's somewhat cherrypicked. Yes, the nations proposing measures against Isreal do seem like a biased set. But most of the Western democracies ultimately vote for those measure, with only the US rejecting it.
I think that's very evocative phrasing for a less-than-productive message. It sounds like saying "we're doomed anyway", which is what the fascists want us to say.

The NYT is trying to get access to all chat logs including private ones and ones that the user requested be deleted? Yeah, no that's really bad, please let's not celebrate that.
That private data could include things that would out trans people, immigrants, and other marginalized groups to a government that is actively building concentration camps.
I don't care about this drama over which billionaire copied another billionaire's stuff. This request is unacceptable and needs to be stopped. Can we counter sue the NYT for breach of private data?
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.
WTF
[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was "no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote".
