Whether there's any truth to Ecimovic's claims, his livestream continues the trend of sexualizing a girl who until recently was considered under the age of consent in most states. At 13, Brown was put on W magazine's list of "Why TV Is Sexier Than Ever" and grown men online have frequently commented on her looks. A GQ profile from 2016 called her a "very grown-up child" and remarked on the appearance of her legs.

On social media, users lambasted Ecimovic for sexualizing a minor and condemned the public for its complicity in normalizing a culture that infuses young girls with adult sexuality while consequently punishing them for it.

When will it end?

@searchingforproofsthatimwrong here I've elaborated on your hypothesis:

If we ask 50+ TRAs to provide concrete definitions of the terms woman, man, and gender in less than 50 words per term using language at or below a 6th grade reading level, they will be unable to perform this task because they have too wide a variety of definitions for these terms within their online discourse, none of which have a clear, evidence-based, scientific origin.

Now, why a 6th grade reading level? It's because the average US adult can read at a 7th-8th grade reading level, and we want information to be easily understood. And information about sex and gender affects health in many ways.

The ability to understand health information is known as health literacy and don't fuck with me b/c I just wrote an insanely long quality improvement paper on this topic.

 "A number of factors impact health literacy including a patient’s receipt of appropriate written health communication materials, ability to accurately interpret written health-related information, and communication with providers. When patients receive written health communication materials that don’t match their reading level, patient education is not effective. Additionally, when patients have low overall literacy skills but high verbal fluency, their verbal fluency can mask their inability to interpret written information. Potential communication barriers between patients and health care providers created by low health literacy may lead to a variety of negative health outcomes for the patient. For example, such communication barriers have been associated with patients being more likely to be hospitalized."

Basically this can be summarized as TRAs failing to provide definitions in plain language will actively create worse health outcomes for people who cannot understand their reasoning that "asking to define the term woman isn't a scientific question, it's a pHiLOsoPhiCAl one".

Here's a scientific answer:

Woman = Adult. Human. Female.

For Real now what is a gender identity, what are gender roles, what is a gender, what is the difference ?

A definition for each please

I am getting tired of Always Reading how terfs are stupid for conflating those and never getting a straight answer as to what exactly those are.

Gender identity: the individual sense of what gender you are. The reason why can be for various different things. Mine being the drop in gender dysphoria and experience of gender euphoria.

Gender roles: Femininity and masculinity, stereotypes, etc.

Masculinity and femininity are usually seen as types of gender expression within our transgender cult. We don’t think that whether being masculine or feminine has an impact on what someone’s actual gender is and instead as a way of expressing oneself.

The difference is that gender identity isn’t determined by gender roles and that being masc or fem doesn’t have to equate to someone’s gender identity.

Gender identity can simply be how one percieves themselves and/or their body. Gender roles are what’s expected of that gender identity. Gender expression is how the person presents themselves (clothing, pronouns, etc.).

This is how masculine trans women and feminine trans men exist. It’s how they don’t get shunned by every other trans person, even if they are by some.

“Most of the world’s exploited labor comes from women. Women work in the sweatshops and the giant factories. Women sow and tend and harvest the world’s crops. Women carry and birth and raise children. Women wash and clean and shop and cook. Women care for the sick and the elderly. All of this - layer upon layer of labor - is what makes human society possible. Ripping it off is what makes capitalism possible.”

More than 500 women ask to join sex harassment suit against Cook County Jail, Sheriff Tom Dart

"I’m blown away by their courage," said Marni Willenson, a civil rights lawyer, of the female correctional officers who signed their names a

Hundreds of women are trying to join a sexual harassment lawsuit against Cook County and Sheriff Tom Dart that alleges officials didn’t do enough to stop inmates from masturbating in front of the women, who worked at the jail.

Current and former Cook County correctional officers and other workers filed suit in 2017 in U.S. District Court. At a news conference Thursday, attorneys touted their success in getting 529 women to individually join in the suit after a petition to declare the suit a class action was rejected by a federal judge.

The women are identified in the lawsuit and shared some of their stories with the court — and at the news conference.

“I’m blown away by their courage,” said Marni Willenson, a civil rights lawyer.

In the four years since the suit was filed, both the women who were harassed said that neither Dart nor Cook County made the necessary changes to protect female workers at Cook County Jail.

“These women have provided critical services, medical care, security, counseling, have endured the worst forms of harassment, only to have the sheriff’s office and county turn their backs on them,” said Caryn Lederer, a lawyer representing the women.

Lederer said that many women had male supervisors and colleagues brush off female workers’ complaints.

“They’re laughed at, told it’s their fault, that they must get used to it or, ‘What do you expect, you work in a jail,’” Lederer said.

In one incident, five inmates ejaculated in front of Bonnie Parker, a retired Sheriff’s employee. Two of those inmates ejaculated on Parker’s uniform.

“Men showing their penises, ejaculating and cat-calling took me to a dark place at one time in my career,” said Parker, who worked at Cook County Jail for 28 years. “They should be stopped and disciplined so that it can become a deterrent for the next set of guys that want to do it.”

Like many others at the news conference, Parker spoke directly to Dart.

“If his wife, daughter or any female that he knew worked at that jail for 30 days endured this type of behavior, would he be more considerate in providing a safe work environment for them?” Parker said. “We are his employees, and he should be more concerned for our safety.”

A spokesman for Dart reiterated the office’s earlier statements about the suit Thursday, saying officials have taken multiple steps to prevent and deter detainees from harassing workers at the jail, including utilizing specialized jumpsuits for detainees, increasing disciplinary consequences, filing new criminal charges against offenders.

“The Sheriff’s Office works every day to prevent and deter those ordered into its custody from engaging in acts of violence or sexual misconduct toward staff and others and has done so long before this lawsuit was filed nearly four years ago,” the spokesman said. “The safety of all persons who enter the Jail is the highest priority for the Sheriff’s Office, and we will continue to defend our record on supporting our staff and aggressively addressing incidents of sexual misconduct by detained individuals.”

Cook County Judge Matthew Kennelly will decide Friday if these additional women will be added to the case. Then, Willenson anticipates Kennelly will hold “bellwether cases” — sample trials that provide a sense of what the future trials hold.

“If other facilities can control the behavior of their detainees, inmates or convicted prisoners, then the sheriff of Cook County can do the same thing,” said Willenson.

She anticipates five to 10 trials will be held this year.

Barbara Unseld, who has worked for 30 years at the jail, became emotional while recounting being masturbated in front of on one of many occasions.

“It’s hard to relive that moment,” said Unseld. “The conditions for the women in jail are unsafe. And unless this problem is rectified by the sheriff, we have women that are walking away from this job, walking away from their careers because they can’t take it.”

A separate lawsuit that made similar allegations filed by 534 public defenders and law clerks was settled for $14 million last year.
