Please read The Myth of Meritocracy by Michael Sandel. Too often meritocracy is used as an excuse to perpetuate inequality in our society.
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Konstantin Kisin: The only thing you need to understand about people who oppose meritocracy is the definition of meritocracy:
"a society, organisation or institution governed by people selected according to merit."
Now ask yourself, who would be opposed to such a system? 🤭

Cis is a word like heathen. It sets the default and implies that someone accepts the concept of and is content with their "gender identity". You can use it but cannot require others to do so or like it. In some contexts it could be harassing n.respublicae.eu/AyoCaesar/sta

Ash Sarkar: “Cis” is just a prefix, used to describe people who identify with the same gender as their birth. It’s no more insulting or made up than describing someone as being straight. n.respublicae.eu/mattgrainger8

Agreed @AudreySuffolk. Trans people have the right to call themselves what they wish &amp; to expect respect for that, but they’ve no right to label 52% of the population.

Preferable that there is serious debate about gender identity ideology inside the Humanists. GI followers don’t believe in the primacy of biological sex. They believe that feelings trump biology and everyone can self identity as they wish. @pollytoynbee @polblonde @HayteratLords

Re @Trade745 @Gurdur @polblonde @HayteratLords @CaroleTongue @SalmanRushdie @rickygervais @RichardDawkins The reply that I received was textbook trans ideology activist speak. They are actively politically lobbying against the minor clarification of the Equality Act, to enable service providers to offer single sex services. You need to decide if you want to fund that.
