Yell, Shetland, 1928. Fourteen-year-old Merran meets a mysterious stranger on the beach who causes her to question whether there was more to her brother's drowning five years prior. But the stranger, Solveg, isn't all she seems, and her presence brings danger to the community.

Very important, because this is very clearly what crackpot campaigners, politicians and press have always been hoping will happen: the public will correctly understand they’re being urged to rise up and hound transgender people on their behalf, thus resolving any issues without recourse to law.
An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:
"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."
No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.
This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.
What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

Overwhelming establishment media in the UK lining up in defence of a massive racist who was found to be an harasser because she's transphobic and all they care about is this fucking culture war against a tiny minority of people who are publicly treated as guilty (of something) until proven otherwise

You really do not want to get shingles.
The shingles vaccine could lay me out for a week and I'd prefer that to shingles.
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

'Dr Beth Upton is the real winner in the Sandie Peggie tribunal ruling'
NHS Fife’s handling of the dispute between Peggie and Dr Upton was an absolute dumpster fire but Dr Beth Upton should have cause to celebrate.

45 years since John Lennon was murdered. I heard it on the radio ( this was before breakfast television.) I was halfway through S6 at Hamilton Grammar. I only really knew Lennon from Bank Holiday Beatles films that were quaint and without a plot.

Man, I love this movie, despite the fact I'm a rarity here. But what the filmbros who love Elon Musk don't understand is that you're not supposed to like the protagonist. This film is about the toxification of the male ego, not some crusader's fight against "the system".

She lost all bar one of her claims and that against NHSFife. She lost all her claims against Dr Upton. The judge had some very harsh words for Peggie, her lawyer and Forstater. Don't believe the spin the trans hating media put on this

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

My thread earlier focused on the discussion re. FWS - but I just want to draw this out really explicitly:
The press absolutely monstered Dr Beth Upton in the most appalling way – only for the Tribunal to find that Beth had done nothing wrong, but that Sandie Peggie had harassed her.
