World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I agree with much of what you said but have to nit-pick a part that I found confusing.
And cis women are cis women?
Comes off as if an afab person, who has always referred to herself as simply "woman" now has to refer to herself as "cis woman" to be exact, whereas trans women have now adopted "woman"
I'm a guy, and I'd be pretty irritated if people suddenly started insisting that I not refer to myself as "guy" anymore, because trans guys are now "guys" so they get my old title but now I have to specifically state that I'm a "cis guy" everywhere..
Like why would I have to give up my title? It's one thing for them to adopt it as well, not like I mind, more the merrier! But why am I having to change my title when I've been the same all along?
It's like if people began changing cats into dogs, and claiming the name "cat" for the former dogs. Cool, do what you will, but then they tell me that my "cats" aren't "cats" anymore, they're cis-cats and I must refer to them as such. Why? They've always been cats to everyone? How you gonna tell me that you get the name "cats" but my lifelong "cats" are now something else?
Trans women are women, and cis women are women. Simple. No one is "taking" someone else's name.
Last comment stated international women's cricket should be renamed international cis women's cricket 🤔 because women who experienced testosterone puberty are excluded
Whereas a group of TW playing football can 100% use "Women's football league" Even if the league is 100 trans women and cis women are excluded
That's all I'm saying, how's that not taking a title? Not saying this with any malice, hope that's clear I've no dog in this race other than supporting everyone but that's weird to me
... But where is that women's football league that excludes cis women while still calling itself "[just] women's football"?
Whereas we already have many women's leagues in sports that exclude trans women.
So if it's actually happening, then sure I'll agree to calling it "taking a title" and honestly be against it; imo it sets the fight for trans rights back if we use "woman" exclusively for trans women and cis women only ever get called "cis women". But again, where is that happening? Who is calling for that?
I only ever see people claiming that cis women should have exclusive use of the word "women", not the other way around. Which is just another way of arguing that trans women "aren't really women"...
