Apple's billion dollar investment directed at allowing men into women's bathrooms

" Big businesses helped kill the Texas bathroom bill two years ago, targeting it as discriminatory and unnecessary.

They said the legislation, which would have required Texans to use the restrooms that match their sex at birth, would have hampered efforts to woo new companies to the state and turned off convention planners and sports leagues looking at venues for events.

Now, some companies are doubling down on that commitment, citing diversity and inclusivity as factors in their decisions. Apple made this clear Thursday, when it announced a $1 billion investment in the capital city.

The bathroom bill, or something like it, may be back when state lawmakers meet in 2019. But opponents of these restroom regulations say the business community will again give them the ammunition they need to shoot down such divisive legislation.

Well, at least they're aptly named.

Have ffs and FPJ ducked under the mistletoe together?
Now it’s just us left, in the kitchen, swaying to Whitney underneath the fairy lights.

Related, I considered buying some mistletoe the other day.

Not for kissing MRAs under, and in fact now that I've thought of that possibility I may never buy mistletoe again...

I was having a conversation with some friends at work about ghost horror movies the other day, and a male colleague who was wearing a Christmas hat with mistletoe dangling off the front came over and said "I was just waiting for you to start discussing what porn you like!"

It has put me off mistletoe significantly, I must say.

And that coworker too, I'd imagine!

I love mistletoe. Symbolic of Freyja, Norse goddess of love and fertility.
She also said no to men in women’s spaces (TrueFact).

Eurggh! Floral that’s so grim!

Yeah, I'm quite disappointed actually. I thought he was a friendly, helpful chap when I first met him. Just goes to show you can't tell a creepy knob on sight.

Materialist, in the spirit of late night Christmassyness, I feel I must say thank you for your posts. They are always considered and on point, and your style cuts right through the waffle. Much appreciated.

Sobering evidence above. Thank you Materialist

A toast yes! To all you wonderful women. And to all a good night!

Materialist, very nice summation. You do have an even yet cut through the bull style.

Have some mulled wine on me. Well, maybe not on me.....

Looks like PJ has been shown the door.

I'm not 6 years old, so I'm indifferent to seeing penises, boobs, and vaginas in public spaces.

That's when my Kleenex app exploded.

I suspect ffs won't be far behind PJ.

But totally worth it for the pissingly funny commentary from the wims.

Aces.

Such posts, many replies.

Anyway after this I think I will be getting one of those Huawei phones, not an iPhone. Apparently they sell to Iran, which as we know is a very progressive trans-friendly country. God is Great!

In case anyone thinks it's just feminists challenging the trans murder stats, here's Channel 4's analysis

https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-how-many-trans-people-murdered-uk

They conclude.

The limited data we’re working with suggests that in the UK at least, a trans person is less likely to be murdered than the average person

Good news!

I missed all the fun. And all of PJ's posts are gone so I can't see what he said. Bah! I can see ffs though. Boring. The usual spattering of invective without a point.

I shall go to bed later next Friday!

Damn it I went to bed. What did i miss

A creepy, creepy man demonstrating in great detail why women want nothing to do with him.

Oh. Disappointing about PJ, what might have happened there? I figure he could be responsible for peaking yet more people with his:

PJ: This doesn't happen
Us: Yep, here's some evidence
PJ: Rubbish. Evidence by feminists doesn't count (though not all evidence was by feminists.
Also PJ: No one has produced any evidence.

PJ: That wouldn't happen.
Us: It has already happened (gives examples)
PJ: That wouldn't happen, there are LAWS.
Us:

I thought the skull grabbing comment was a particular highlight! "That's where your mind automatically goes when a woman says she's being forced to look at cocks", he says. "Your mind, maybe..." says everyone else.

Did we ever get the answer about what besides kidneys and eyes we share with trans woman?
