Quite a bloody cheek, this, given the UK has the most hostile regime towards healthcare for young trans people and their families in the world (www.gov.uk/government/s...).

If your skin is sensitive, I always advocate for picking products that have as short an ingredient list as possible, with no fragrance/perfuming ingredients, and absolutely no essential oil (orange peel oil is one of the most popular perfuming ingredients).

I’ve been using Simple’s moisturiser for maybe as long as they’ve been making it. If my hand twitches while applying it and it gets in my eye, no problem.

weirdo sexologists would rather invent elaborate lore on the corrupting influence of crossdressing than apply "sometimes topics of deep shame are sexualized as a coping mechanism" to trans women in line with how it works for everyone else

imagine an adorable cartoon pig made from the mosty delicious candy ever. its eyes are gumdrops. its flesh is marshmallow. its organs are gourmet chocolate.
now imagine eating its hard, slightly indigestible feet
that’s Percy Pig

The biggest takeaway from this graph is that six of the seven most unpopular prime ministers since records began are *the last six prime ministers we've had*

Does this look like the politics of a functional democracy?

The university I work at it is literally encircled by England flags targeted sometimes implicitly and sometimes very explicitly at students of colour. I wonder why that isn’t part of the discussion about “keeping universities free from hate”? (I don’t actually wonder this).

That’s the line and by Christ, they are sticking to it come hell or high water. Let’s see whether it’ll work as well on e.g. Italian police arresting them at a holiday villa outside Rimini in 2033.

Hate has no place in our universities or our country.
Antisemitism must be rooted out of our society.
Our education system must play its part in keeping us free from fear and free from hate.

Please remember that "that's illegal" is a *description*, not a *conclusion*.

The law PROHIBITS people from doing things. It does not PREVENT people from doing things. "Illegal" does not mean "impossible." "Illegal" means "on a list of actions the government can, but is not required, to punish."

I do get why a lot of prominent trans women don't talk to the media but it is unfortunate that this means that India W, someone with no such qualms, ends up getting invited to go on the telly more often.
