There is nothing wrong with being a trad wife or a trad husband.

The problem is being everything to everyone.

That’s too hard.

Instead, be ok with whatever you decide is best for yourself.

Working or not, parenting is so difficult.

Ms Phillimore promised she would sue me for this tweet, and raised over £37,000 for that purpose, but more than three months on, I am still yet to receive a letter before action from her.

Obviously I stand by my tweet.
A barrister, Sarah Phillimore, led a campaign of harassment of a trans woman so wicked that she sought to take her own life. Jk Rowling saw the threat of regulatory sanction for that misconduct and offered to pay her legal costs.

That's where she now is.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

I was gunna put it off, but I'm just gunna share cos people are feeling hopeless:

I have secured 10s of 1000s of pounds (so far) to buy property that will form the start of a social housing system for trans people, that will charge you the local housing authority rate for your rent.

I’d say any trans person that can work would be insane to stay in the uk. Sadly those with health issues who need help are stuck in the uk with no way out.

The cost of this would have been covered by increased national debt (or not paying down national debt). Scotland is allocated a population% share of the national debt interest. 10 year gilts coupon 4.25%

£5bn x 8% x 4.25% = £45m annual cost to Scotland (forever) to service the debt of this failure
