Sadly, I've now reached the point where I don't believe in "innocent mistakes" from the main parties. They know pitting trans & cis women against each other in the media works, and allows them to take rights from both. I may be wrong in this singular case, but overall it seems to be lying as policy

RTD "promised" that there would be Doctor Who "every year", so delaying this to 2026 allows him to keep that promise, as long as there isn't too long a delay, and the next season or xmas special of Doctor Who arrives sometime in 2027

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I left a comment on their YT video 'After the supreme court ruling: what next for sex based rights?'. And they deleted my comment... I wonder why 🤔

Comment highlighting that sex is a spectrum and backed by science, with links to articles. Concludes by stating science should not be ideologically biased.
