High heels were invented for men and were worn predominantly by men until the 16th century
From the mid 16th century to the 19th century boys would typically wear dresses until the age of 7

In 2017, a Christian couple pull their 6yo son out of a primary school because his classmate is transgender - citing their “traditional beliefs” IMPORTANT NOTE: Last source is transphobic and from a pro-life website that attempts to defend the dumb ass couple. Feel free to ignore it if you prefer, but it was included for the sake of accuracy.
Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won.
That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.
The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.
His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.
Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.
You know the drill. Here’s what to do:
The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.
Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️
You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:
I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.
The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them.
The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.
Please leave the existing existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.
Thank you!
If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.
Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.
·Sexuality is complicated and confusing and sometimes you never fully grasp that certain identity
·Clothes are either not enough, too much, I don’t know what to wear, I do know what to wear but I don’t own it, constantly carrying a backpack with extra clothes incase you need to gender switch
·Feeling androgynous, but not being able to look or act the part because of the way you’re dressed, features, hair, voice
·Someone misgendering you, making you uneasy, but not wanting to correct them every single time you feel the need to
·Love Life is NOT easy when it comes to introducing/explaining yourself as their significant other
·Dysphoria especially when you hate your physical appearance for not matching with the gender you want to be right that second, but knowing you won’t actually make any physical changes due to liking the way you look in another moment
·Often has a change of names and can’t really settle on just one
·Not 100% knowing where you fit in with the community
·Feeling upset when your masculinity, feminity and androgynous or agender qualities/aspects/characteristics are all imbalanced where one outweighs more than the other two
·You can’t relate to specific stereotypes or jokes within certain communities anymore
·Sometimes the people who are closest to you are too cautious where they don’t know how to interact with you anymore
·Periods (in general) during a more masculine or gender neutral day
·Shopping is always difficult because gender roles are still an issue and some people give you wary/judgemental looks if you so much as bend one
·Being described as tomboy, butch, or on rare occasions a girly girl, etc. is irritating to deal with because sometimes you do feel as if a label fits or you’ll just have the urge to (do) deny it which makes the other parts of you feel a tad guilty.
When one is dealing with complex numbers, it is many a times useful to think of them as transformations. The problem at hand is to find the n roots of unity. i.e
As is common knowledge z = 1 is always a solution.
Multiplication as a transformation
Multiplication in the complex plane is mere rotation and scaling. i.e
Now what does finding the n roots of unity mean?
If you start at 1 and perform n equal rotations( because multiplication is nothing but rotation + scaling ), you should again end up at 1.
We just need to find the complex numbers that do this.i.e
This implies that :
And therefore :
Take a circle, slice it into n equal parts and voila you have your n roots of unity.
Okay, but what does this imply ?
Multiplication by 1 is a 360o / 0o rotation.
When you say that you are multiplying a positive real number(say 1) with 1 , we get a number(1) that is on the same positive real axis.
Multiplication by (-1) is a 180o rotation.
When you multiply a positive real number (say 1) with -1, then we get a number (-1) that is on the negative real axis
The act of multiplying 1 by (-1) has resulted in a 180o transformation. And doing it again gets us back to 1.
Multiplication by i is a 90o rotation.
Similarly multiplying by i takes 1 from real axis to the imaginary axis, which is a 90o rotation.
1. Lungs don’t just facilitate respiration - they also make blood. Mammalian lungs produce more than 10 million platelets (tiny blood cells) per hour, which equates to the majority of platelets circulating the body.
2. It is mathematically possible to build an actual time machine - what’s holding us back is finding materials that can physically bend the fabric of space-time.
3. Siberia has a colossal crater called the ‘doorway to the underworld’, and its permafrost is melting so fast, ancient forests are being exposed for the first time in 200,000 years.
4. The world’s first semi-synthetic organisms are living among us - scientists have given rise to new lifeforms using an expanded, six-letter genetic code.
5. Vantablack - the blackest material known to science - now comes in a handy 'spray-on’ form and it’s the weirdest thing we’ve seen so far this year.
6. It’s official: time crystals are a new state of matter, and we now have an actual blueprint to create these “impossible” objects at will.
7. A brand new human organ has been classified, and it’s been hiding in plain sight this whole time. Everyone, meet your mesentery.
8. Carl Sagan was freakishly good at predicting the future - his disturbingly accurate description of a world where pseudoscience and scientific illiteracy reigns gave us all moment for pause.
9. A single giant neuron that wraps around the entire circumference of a mouse’s brain has been identified, and it appears to be linked to mammalian consciousness.
10. The world’s rarest and most ancient dog isn’t extinct after all - in fact, the outrageously handsome New Guinea highland wild dog appears to be thriving.
11. Your appendix might not be the useless evolutionary byproduct after all. Unlike your wisdom teeth, your appendix might actually be serving an important biological function - and one that our species isn’t ready to give up just yet.
12. After 130 years, we might have to completely redraw the dinosaur family tree, thanks to a previously unimportant cat-sized fossil from Scotland.
13. Polycystic ovary syndrome might actually start in the brain, not the ovaries.
14. Earth appears to have a whole new continent called Zealandia, which would wreak havoc on all those textbooks and atlases we’ve got lying around.
15. Humans have had a bigger impact on Earth’s geology than the infamous Great Oxidation Event 2.3 billion years ago, and now scientists are calling for a new geological epoch - the Anthropocene - to be officially recognised.
16. Turns out, narwhals - the precious unicorns of the sea - use their horns for hunting. But not how you’d think.
17. Human activity has literally changed the space surrounding our planet - decades of Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio communications have accidentally formed a protective, human-made bubble around Earth.
18. Farmers routinely feed red Skittles to their cattle, because it’s a cheap alternative to corn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
