I'm surprised by fact I am not female in my records any more - I've been registered as female on my medical records since 2007.

She booked me in for an ultrasound and will see if there's any way to confirm eligibility for routine mammography. I was calm throughout and think that helped her relax.

I got mine a couple of years ago, stating these rights which Hodge said I clearly never have had.

I mean, they made me make promises and this was their promise but judge figures on retconning all this, hmm?

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Here is a scan of Gender Recognition Certificate paperwork. Note with interest the comments under Section 7. Weird, because the Government and Courts say that was never the case. 🤔

Here you go! October 2025. Well organised, our government services, aren't they?

I'm not nearly famous enough to be asked to cameo on film/TV/animation. Any cameo I did would just come across as a standard extra given a line. Heck, my "cameo" on Stargate Universe was someone holding up one of my books.

Random tangent.. Saw Bill Nye guest voice a recent Futurama. Ever do stuff like that?

Would you, if they asked? Or maybe something like random alien #3, a la Mick Fleetwood on Star Trek?

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

Perhaps it will sustain you also!!

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

This submission details how the case has exposed the UK's non-compliance with the judgment made in the European Court of Human rights case of Goodwin v. UK (2002). This non-compliance did not begin in April 2025. The Supreme Court has made clear

This evening, 14/10/25 the Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective and the Trans Exile Network have taken the next step in the struggle to restore the human rights, dignity & safety of UK trans people.

Excellent move. It would be virtually impossible for the Government to argue both that trans people never had the rights they thought they had, and that the UK had been in compliance with Goodwin.

1/🧵 Well, Hodge is the vice president of the court, so he can walk in and take his seat on any panel he likes. In the judiciary, seniority rules. And it was Robert Buckland, the then tory justice minister, who handed him the power to tip the scales.

We sent an FOI request to the Supreme Court asking several questions, including communications relating to the selection of Lord Hodge on the panel for the FWS case. We also asked if any conflicts of interest were considered. 1/

I remember the cover up stage - a whole lotta "well, I can't wear this and I can't wear this without squishing so...[calculating...calculating...]".

Old coworkers will be convinced nothing's up. New people will be like "wait, uhhh" but will temporarily defer to old people.

Let us know/take care 😊❤

We need rules in place to protect regular investors in crypto and private equity – not a shadowy system that lines the pockets of crypto billionaires and giant private equity firms.

A downturn in these markets could put our whole economy at risk.
