We must reflect

I find that Planned Parenthood Ottawa has blocked me on Twitter, no doubt via one of those Lists (since I don’t think I’ve ever interacted with them). It seems bizarre for an organization of that type to block people – what if they block people who need their services? There are other routes but still, it seems…disobliging.

Anyway. Their focus is odd.

Tut. Those fogies in Illinois said “women.” How clueless can you get?!

    The replies to the tweet you discussed in your previous post are surprisingly clean of gender critical comments too. Institutional capture, mission creep, and information bubble.

    2SAQTBIPOC…

    Is that a joke about the acronym getting a bit out of hand?

    What’s next? 1234ABCDEFGH…

    Hm… I’m not blocked and I’m pretty sure I’m on All The Lists too. So congratulations! It might be personal ;)

    Their tweet is the only Google hit for “2SAQTBIPOC”.

    Ha! Good grief. I thought they were at least using a string of letters n numbers known to their particular sect or something – not that they were using one known only to them!

    I think “2SAQTBIPOC” is supposed to stand for Two-Spirit, Asexual, Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous and People Of Color.

    Note who’s missing: G, L, B, and … women.

    GW, you wouldn’t want PP to talk about women, would you? It would be so irrelevant, since women are not the only ones that have babies! Women are not defined by their gametes; otters can be human women, too, and may need PP services, but I don’t think the O on there means Otter…should I complain?

    Maybe it does, iknklast, maybe it does. You should check before your complain. They’re not here to do your research for you.
