Absolutely yes, but still not relevant to this specific survey.

That's not what I said.
Cis women outnumber trans women by about 99:1, so any attempt to discriminate trans women will inevitably catch out more cis women than trans women.
I am trans myself, I am most definitely not saying that everything is OK for me, it is not.

But I do get healthcare discrimination, and people not believing I'm the owner of my ID documents.

I've never been challenged going into a women's bathroom because I'm cis passing. Partly because I'm intersex, so most things matched anyway. Plenty of cis women do get challenged, and obviously trans women who are less cis passing than me.

In the context of this specific survey, which isn't going to cover things like healthcare discrimination and not being able to get ID documents that match your identity.

Love this representation of the autism spectrum. People imagine it as going from "more" to "less" autistic. Autism is a whole pile of differences - different people have different mixes, and those differences affect people's lives in a variety of ways.

Well they talk to the Bayswater Support Group at the moment when they want to consult with the trans community.

This is not a hypothetical. AI has been used to find cures for cancer, but it is not the type of generative AI that is getting all the headlines at the moment, it is more traditional machine learning.

There was an FOI survey a while back, sorry I don't have the source to cite, where the asked about complaints of trans women using toilets. A lots of those complaints were found to actually be complaints about cis women using toilets.

It is possible to suffer discrimination because the person discriminating believes you have a particular protected characteristic, even if you don't.

The majority of people who suffer discrimination as trans women are actually cis and intersex women, not trans women.

The vehicle that broke the land speed record could cover that distance in a little over 2 minutes, my car could do it in about 15 minutes if I didn't have to worry about legal speed limits, so this isn't particularly remarkable.

There needs to be forthright condemnation of Stonewall's new chair'svsucking up to Rowling from her predecessors and a majority of the organisation's leading figures. This betrayal of trans people is utterly unforgivable cowardice.

Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children’s writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world.

“I think she’s been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference.”

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did.

Latest AI models could threaten world banking system, financial officials warn Anthropic’s new Claude Mythos Preview model could expose vulnerabilities in lenders’ cyber defences

I am very sceptical. It may claim to have found serious vulnerabilities. I don't think it has.
Of course if it actually has, those vulnerabilities exist whether "AI" has found them or not, and someone else could find them.
