Great piece by Shaun de Waal. Always so weird that Tannie Helen who has opted for so much visible gender affirming care now hates on trans people as a side hobby. www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/...
JK Rowling toasts court victory, Tannie Helen turns orange with glee
The DA’s Federal Council chairwoman – no gender-neutrality here, please – gives her odious take on what women are, or aren’t.

Devastating incident. The poisoning of a single vulture is like setting off a nuclear bomb in the ecosystem. Incredible work by rangers and others involved to rescue so many of these wonderful birds.
Eighty-four vultures have been rescued after a mass poisoning event in the Kruger National Park, one of the largest incidents of its kind recorded in southern Africa.

Medical Journalism Webinar: Fact Checking Overview
Medical Misinformation Webinar One: Medical Journalism In this first webinar, we provide an overview of the importance of getting the facts right when presenting medical information to the public. International research has highlighted that some medical practitioners who do not have expertise in specific areas of medicine nevertheless set out to mislead the public about the latest advances – often in order to promote alternative care with unproven scientific efficacy or to promote discriminatory practices in medicine. This webinar aims to equip journalists with a basic overview of fact-checking medical information, including how journalists can meet their responsibility to do further research and create their own independent content. Panellists include: -Mark Heywood. Adjunct Professor at the Nelson Mandela School of Governance, University of Cape Town -KL Dunkle, Centre for Sexualities AIDS & Gender, University of Pretoria -Kirsten Cosser, Africa Check Researcher -Natasha van Antwerpen, School of Psychology, University of Adelaide
