In der aufgeheizten britischen Debatte um geschlechtliche Identität hat sich «Harry Potter»-Autorin J.K. Rowling unversöhnlich gezeigt. Die Schriftstellerin bezeichnet Transfrauen als Männer und wurde dafür scharf kritisiert, unter anderem von «Harry Potter»-Darsteller Daniel Radcliffe. «Promis, die sich einer Bewegung angeschlossen haben, die die hart erkämpften Rechte von Frauen aushöhlen will, und die ihre Plattformen genutzt haben, um die Geschlechtsanpassung von Minderjährigen zu bejubeln, können sich ihre Entschuldigungen für traumatisierte Detransitionisten und gefährdete Frauen aufspar...

In Bayerns Schulen, Hochschulen und Behörden ist die Verwendung von geschlechtersensibler Gendersprache ausdrücklich verboten. Das Kabinett beschloss in seiner Sitzung in München die dafür notwendige Änderung der Allgemeinen Geschäftsordnung für die Behörden des Freistaates Bayern (AGO). Die AGO verpflichtete die staatlichen Behörden und damit auch die Schulen zwar bereits jetzt, die amtliche Regelung der deutschen Rechtschreibung im dienstlichen Schriftverkehr anzuwenden, diese Regelung sei nun aber nochmals «klarstellend ergänzt» worden, hieß es weiter. «Für uns ist die klare Botschaft, Spra...

Arbeitsstress, Schichtarbeit und niedrige Löhne: Die rund drei Millionen Beschäftigten im sozialen Sektor in Deutschland verdienen laut einer neuen Studie durchschnittlich 17 Prozent weniger als Beschäftigte in anderen Sektoren. Wechselnde Arbeitszeiten, hohe Fluktuation und Teilzeit sind hier zudem für mehr Beschäftigte an der Tagesordnung als in der übrigen Wirtschaft. Das geht aus der Studie «Vor dem Kollaps? Beschäftigung im sozialen Sektor» des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) und des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes hervor. Ob in der Kinderbetreuung und -erziehung, der Altenp...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden called for an end to discrimination Thursday after an autopsy found a nonbinary teenager died by suicide a day after clashing with three other students. The case of Nex Benedict, 16, from Oklahoma, had drawn widespread outrage and calls for change in the way trans and nonbinary people are treated. "Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today," Biden said in a statement, adding that he and First Lady Jill Biden were "heartbroken" by the teen's death on February 8. "Nonbinary and transgender people are some of t...

Ireland is set to consider two referendums today: one about women’s role in the home and the other seeking to redefine the contours of family in modern Irish society. These referendums have generated a lot of questioning and a desire to remove the gendered language of the ‘women in the home’ reference. In the wake of landmark decisions such as the 1995 vote to abolish the divorce ban and subsequent referendums on same-sex marriage (2015) and abortion (2018), the Irish public is being asked to vote YES or NO over the wording of the new article and the impact it will have on Irish women’s rights...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The share of Hollywood films with women in the lead role fell last year, new research showed Thursday, despite standout successes like "Barbie." In the year that the feminist blockbuster starring Margot Robbie blew its competitors away at the box office, just a third of movies had a woman at the top of the bill, according to the Hollywood Diversity Report. Greta Gerwig's fun-packed feminist satire, which took more than $1.4 billion at the global box office, also garnered eight nominations for this weekend's Oscars, including best picture. "Even as 'Barbie' broke box office ...

New York (AFP) - One by one, a line of young African American and biracial women dressed in ball gowns took to the ice in New York's Central Park to the soundtracks of "Barbie" and "Wonder Woman." "Figure Skating in Harlem" (FSH) was staging its annual winter show before a delighted audience under a bright moon, its light reflecting off the glistening rink. Most of the 300 students who participate in FSH's programs every year live in Harlem or the Bronx. They are among the poorest corners of New York, a city of 8.5 million riven by inequality despite being an economic engine of the United Sta...

In the past couple of years, there’s been an explosion of AI tools popping up online - and yet ChatGPT, whose appearance in our lives has sparked as much enthusiasm as controversy, remains the most popular existing tool, according to a recent study. Researchers at writerbuddy.ai - an AI writing tool marketed at copywriters, bloggers, and marketers - found that ChatGPT, the free-to-use chatbot developed by OpenAI, claimed over 60 per cent of the share of the traffic for AI tools between September 2022 and August 2023, accumulating a total of 14 billion visits. In total, writerbuddy.ai observed ...

New York (AFP) - A lengthy essay speculating over superstar Taylor Swift's sexuality has triggered anger online, with some social media users calling for its retraction. The 5,000-word guest column published in the paper's opinion pages suggests the wildly popular singer is sending veiled signals to her fans that she is queer, despite identifying publicly as straight. Neither The Times nor Swift's representatives immediately responded to an AFP request for comment over the piece or the backlash. Speaking anonymously to CNN, a person in Swift's camp called the column "invasive, untrue, and inap...

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Dozens of Jewish women and their supporters marched in front of UN headquarters Monday to highlight the brutal October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas which saw dozens of women and children taken hostage. Chanting "shame on UN", demonstrators sported banners reading "rape is rape", while speakers attacked the UN for inaction over the mistreatment of Israeli women. "I call it the 'United Nothing'... why do we have to be here to tell the UN to protect people?" said demonstrator Hillary Larson, 64, a pediatric nurse from New York. "First they should condemn (Ha...
