These people love spending money to appeal cases that the media claim - loudly - that they already won.
Sandie Peggie’s lawyer confirms she will be appealing the “highly problematic” tribunal decision - Peggie herself says “I won’t be giving up the fight anytime soon”

Sandie won the wooden spoon. Between this and the Maria Kelly judgment it seems FWS have shot their bolt and little has changed.

Winning 1 out of 7 is not a victory.

It's like saying Norwich City won against Manchester United for getting 1 goal against Manchester’s 7 🤦‍♀️🤣

Trump has just seized a Venezuelan oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

This is piracy on the high seas & an international offense!!

Time for Republicans to stop Trump!!!

I am actually astounded (the naivety!) of the way the NHS Fife case is being reported. British journalists should be ashamed!

You might see the press claim otherwise. Don’t be fooled by their transphobia.

I wonder how many cigars JK Rowling smokes as she mumbles “I love it when a plan comes together” as she giggles, picturing all the children she has made feel sad and more alone today

Authors, since I seem to be consuming my books only on streaming audio, please tell me which platforms pay you best and worst.

I was one of my local Scouts first intake of girls. It was the 90’s. I can’t believe (well, actually I can) how far backwards anti-trans obsessives want to take us.

Good news for trans workers

After the Girl guiding and WI announcements, some comfort for trans workers.

A Scottish tribunal has ruled that a trans-inclusive workplace policy is NOT discriminatory against a woman with gender critical views in the workplace.
