@katymontgomerie.com You might be interested in these articles. The BBC have done 2 articles on a recent sexual assault case that are filled with blatant transphobia.

It bothers me greatly that the BBC will allow this to be published.

As critical as I am of the Rainbow Laces campaign, I'm not sure the Premier League will do any better. I don't know if they could come up with something less effective than Rainbow Laces, but, wouldn't be surprised.

What we need is something ran by players, coaches & fans, not the executive types.

Not likely to happen (have no intention of leaving UK anytime soon), but if I do, I'll let you know.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 11

And... you're using AI for that response. List of 3 and em dash give it away.

Guessing you're either not aware of the ethical and environmental issues relating to generative AI, or just don't care.

Not to mention, just looks and sounds like rubbish, not gonna lie.

So, naturally, that's present in the nudist community, with many clubs having an older demographic.

Although, would be foolish to say it's only older men doing it. Anyone's capable of being a creep.

...their more problematic behaviour, so they continue thinking it's ok. Which is why you get people, like my dad's uncle, constantly making inappropriate comments and touching people without consent.

They think it's an acceptable thing to do.

Yeah, certainly. Whether that's intentional or not, is another story. There's also that a lot of men don't quite understand what is or isn't sexual assault or harassment. Especially older men. This isn't a nudist specific issue either. A lot of older men haven't had a lot of pushback on...

Ok, looks like this is an observation others have made too. So it's not just me.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 9

Didn't realise that was Freddie Highmore. Looks almost exactly like Dan Stevens in 'Legion'.

And it's not like an advantage for 1 player will impact much in team sports anyway. Sure, athletics, swimming, boxing, sorta understand (but, again, HRT's a thing), but team sports aren't won by 1 player.

Why trans women were banned from chess, who knows.

If you need help with backgrounds, I recommend using stock images, or photos. Like, a photo background with an illustrated figure over the top would look interesting. Stock sites will have some good photos to use, or, could find some pngs to use.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 9

I'd argue it's not as complex of an issue as people make out. Fact of the matter is, trans women, especially those on HRT, tend not to have any advantage. Studies even suggest they'd be at a disadvantage.

So, Premier League's no longer working with Stonewall, and are going to do their own LGBTQ+ campaign.

My hopes are not high.

Although, have been critical of the rainbow laces campaign, so maybe we'll have something that actually does something.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 8

On the Premier League's website to set up a Fantasy Football account, and the gender options need work, to say the least. It still amazes me how people fail to even have 'other' as an option.

I know for a fact that AI can, and frequently does, generate depictions of nude human figures. People have developed ways of being able to do so. Had a conversation with someone who knew how to, years ago (early version of Midjourney, I think).

I already donate to Wikimedia (and also to Miraheze). Wiki's are a really important thing for preserving information.

I "celebrated" the launch of GPT-5 by donating to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Support Wikipedia, the *actual* knowledgebase which gives people's brains superabilities. It's far from perfect, but it's the best thing we've got!

Unfortunately, North-East of England, there's not much. A few landed clubs, none of which are super active online. Greenacres has a Facebook page and a website, but that's about it.

I'm not involved with any clubs, largely because of how difficult it would be to get there. So, I'm restricted.

I've been wanting to set up a space for women and queer nudists/naturists. Do not have the knowhow or funding to do so.

Jury's still out on Dolly Parton. But Stella Parton though, she's anti-Trump and anti-Elon.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 7

And M.I.A. supporting Trump still bewilders me.

Jayde Richardson @jayderichardson.bsky.social · Aug 7

You really should know you've messed up big time when Kanye, Azealia Banks and Kid Rock support you. And yet...

I'll definitely be interested in a commission too. Once I figure out what's happening with my company. Been needing to find a new place to sell the Nudism Illustrated stuff (because of Gumroad and their CEO doing weird AI shenanigans with Elon Musk).
