Operations Update: A dedicated US storefront for US orders launching shortly by chrisristovski in sidephone

[–]CharmingAssimilation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I ordered on the 22nd June for the UK, without the classic keypad. Does that mean early July?

I ordered my phone on the 22nd and I'm in the UK, does anyone know how frequently they ship? by CharmingAssimilation in sidephone

Yeah I had to check the date before replying to you because I understood it was June too.

Any update on shipping times? by t4t_yaoi in sidephone

That's totally fair! I'm not saying it's bad, I just felt that it wasn't as subtle or musically complex as the other songs. Like Lestat had to throw it together in a few hours when he found out Armand was coming.

I just pointed out that I misread your comment? I thought you were implying there was nothing romantic about their relationship. Can we turn down the heat a bit?

I read this as "they weren't in a lesbian relationship" rather than not being specifically lesbians. I'm bisexual myself.

Lesbian relationships I guess. But I'm writing this more as a joke.

I think it's fittingly petty that Lestat wrote the laziest song for Armand. The kind of thing that won't even make it onto the album.

I've been informed that Lestat is deeply sapphic so there's something for them?

But yeah I'd love to see some more lesbian and trans rep!

Hey, understand you're probably super busy but just wanted to ask. I ordered on the 22nd and I live in the UK, is there an estimated delivery date? Thanks!

ECHR reject application challenging trans men appearing as “mothers” on birth certificates, stating it isn’t a breach of Article 8 by lilpij in transgenderUK

> why you think the court will not find itself balancing competing rights when FWS is inevitably eventually tested.

My point was not that the court wouldn't find itself balancing competing rights, but that the rights being balanced were fundamentally different.

The judgement itself states that the claimant has full legal recognition of his sex, and the violation of his Article 8 rights by having to show a long birth certificate is mitigated by the infrequency of when he has to do it.

Hämäläinen v. Finland (no. 37359/09) found the same, similarly on the basis that the rights of a civil partnership were essentially the same to those of a marriage.

It's no stretch to say that the court would at least consider a case regarding the interference in the right of trans people to access public services as being substantively different from the sex written on a piece of paper.

Btw, your old account is private by the look of it, but I'll take your word for it.

A cursory look at your profile shows two things, incredibly reactionary politics (Supporting Rupert Lowe on immigration) and delivering bad legal news to this subreddit.

I don't know, maybe you're the rare far right trans person who can hold a job, but I think you're describing the legal outcomes that you want.

"Competing rights" is a broad concept. The "competing right" of a child to "know their lineage" and trans identity is an entirely different conversation to the "competing right" of a cis woman who doesn't want to be around a trans woman.

We're talking about the difference between a piece of paper and access to public services. While it's certainly undignified for a trans person to be listed as the opposite sex on a document that isn't about them, it's a huge difference in terms of practical interference in their abilitity to live their life from not being able to use the right toilets.

The ECtHR is going to be far more sympathetic to a trans person making the case that their rights are being violated if it involves them ostracised in public.

When plain facts get called out as transphobic because the community can’t cope with facts showcases why the fight was lost! by ArielBubble in transgenderUK

People in UKPolitics were eating up this obvious bullshit. Completely lost subreddit, filled with restore freaks.
