I'm reposting this...should have been in the "Circles" Circle from the beginning...Doh!
Earlier today, Ovarit member, Lilith-Fair, made a great post that broke down how media outlets are reporting on 1) the gruesome story of trans-identified male, Chris Chan, being charged with raping his own mother, and 2) how correctional authorities decided to house the suspect in the women's sex-segregated areas of the jail.
What about a meta Ovarit Circle called "Reporting on the News Media" (or something like that), a circle that examines how media outlets, large and small, report on specific stories on feminism, on women-centered concerns, and, of course, on the gender identity movement? For instance, analyses of the horribly-written story by Atlantic writer, Kaitlyn Tiffany, about Ovarit might be posted to this new circle.
Such a circle might also prove to be a draw to professional journalists looking to report on this topic more broadly, thereby drawing more eyeballs and positive attention to Ovarit.
I don't actually mind the bird. At least he's not gonna try to rape me.
that may be the scariest bird I have ever seen and I would still take 100 of them in a girls' bathroom over a single male
Haha I have met that very type of bird. I remember seeing one once in the company of a local (for whom English was not his first language) and saying 'wth was that thing?' He thought long and hard, and then announced, 'chicken.'
It appears to be one of these:

I just googled it and one of the form-filling phrases was 'marabou stork nightmares'.
Marabou storks are known to attack people who don't give them a handout, just like trans dudes!
☹😭 as if I didn't have enough reasons to be terrified of encountering strange birds in the bathroom
Can we employ these birds to peck at TIMs who try to enter women's bathrooms?
If you ever see a TIM in a bathroom it would be a very good idea to flow the bathroom with other males you, so the TIM can learn not to be a bigot.
Can we PLEASE have every single TIM in women's spaces replaced by this exact bird?? 🤩
