Donate to archive dot org today.
archive.org is located in the US, therefore it's not safe from purges. Better also backup important data locally and abroad.
Should we stop donating to food banks just because USAID got cut? No. These are the institutions we have, right now. Let's do what we can with them.

archive.org is not a US federal agency, and therefore the US federal government can't simply cut off their funding and fire everyone. What the executive branch is doing is highly illegal and there will be litigative pushback soon, but I digress. Should we stop donating to food banks just because USAID got cut?

The US gov could shut them down tomorrow. Illegally, but that's not stopping them elsewhere right now.
So support archive.org, and support backups elsewhere.

You said “LBQT focussed articles” when every example in the grandparent comment was about women’s health. So, who benefits from the articles? Well, women for starters.
Yeah bit they werd removed because they were supposedly written in a LBQT focused way?
2. 7.6% of americans are LGBTQ - that’s about 26 million people - does the government not serve them as well? Is the government only there to serve some of the people?

Bigot – a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.
The capacity for pregnancy is not confined to individuals with a female (46,XX) chromosomal pattern. The real world is complicated, and intersex people can be born with a (46,XY) karyotype or mixed (46,XX) and (46,XY) karyotypes as a result of chimerism. People with Swyer syndrome (46,XY) develop female reproductive anatomy (a uterus and fallopian tubes) but do not produce eggs. However, pregnancy can be achieved with donor eggs and assisted reproductive technology.
So here's the question: Are you devoted to your first opinion, or are you capable of acknowledging that the medical community may have had legitimate reasons, grounded in actual biology, to choose a more inclusive word?

Let's find out if you're a bigot or not. I'll throw up Webster's definition for reference. Bigot – a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.

The real world is complicated, and intersex people can be born with a (46,XY) karyotype or mixed (46,XX) and (46,XY) karyotyp…
