Young Doctors Slam Supreme Court's Definition of Woman as "Biologically Nonsensical"
Well, I haven’t done a deep dive as to why they came to the conclusion that they might be biological women. They want to do things that will cause danger or harm to others?! Please elaborate on that. Can’t wait to hear this! -

Another win for Trump (breaking news)
It is almost certainly true to say that the US government at the time of the Maïdan Revolution preferred an EU-focussed Ukraine to a Russian focussed one and perhaps the US stoked the fire, but to claim that the US instigated the uprising is nonsense. As Chicagoexpat correctly points out, the catalyst for the Maidan Revolution was Yanukovich's refusal to sign the 'EU Association Agreement' - which was a central part of his manifesto - but instead, under pressure from Moscow, attempt to tie Ukraine's economic future to Russia. (Over 80% of Ukrainians supported the idea of joining the EU). Putin subsequently used the Maïdan as an excuse to increase Russia's interference in Ukraine which ultimately resulted in the invasion. The blame for the war falls squarely on Putin's shoulders. It really is as simple as that. Why Putin felt so strongly about Ukraine's tilt to the West is another matter. Concern about the effect on Russia's economy? Fear of potential NATO aggression? Perhaps. However, imo - and there is strong supporting evidence - a more likely explanation is that Putin falls into the 'Tsarist school' which does not believe that Ukraine is a sovereign country in its' own right, but is simply a part of a 'Greater Russia' The attached link gives a very good overview of the historical context of the Russian - Ukrainian relationship https://theconversation.com/why-putin-has-such-a-hard-time-accepting-ukrainian-sovereignty-174029
