Fuck Terf island! Why does Guides need to be single sex? Do they have a "getting undressed" badge? Is there a "sewing with your genitals" badge?

What even is the problem?!

Also - someone please sue them for discrimination because there is absolutely no way this is reasonable or proportionate.

Can someone shed some light on how stopping trans girls from doing arts and crafts with their friends is "dignity and respect"?

There ia an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that a political party should by default get your support regardless of whether its policy positions align with your values.

Undiagnosed autism is everyone thinking you're a complete weirdo

Diagnosed autism is telling people you're autistic and everyone being confused because you look "completely normal"

Job feeling decidedly overwhelming right now. I have 8 days of work til Xmas and about 6 weeks work to do. In theory I have a team but they seem to be doing anything other than work for me. Sooooo tired

I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

Conversation with my son:

When stand up comics tell funny stories their mothers are often portrayed as begrudgingly accepting. In my stories you are normally the initiator of the problem...you know, the person who caused the trouble...

I had long since decided that YourParty was going to be utterly useless.

As I political force I was right. As entertainment? Couldn't have been more wrong: Please can they have monthly conferences?!

When the opinion in question is that I have a right to continued existence as my authentic self, I expect 100% alignment. As a bare minimum.

Call it entitlement if you like. I call it life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“Are trans people human?” is basically what they’re discussing, because the question is whether we deserve human rights or not.

The irony that two people who are making SUCH a fist of their political careers, are both incapable of actually making a fist with their hand.

Packed *far* too much into this week! Ended up working 4 days instead of 3 (1 in London), then yesterday was VERY peopley.

Today I am planning as calm and quiet a day as possible. Have PJ trousers on. Set up in snug with dog, fire and knitting

In London today. When I have to be in London I always get my clothes out the night before - less to think about!

This morning I got dressed, put my hand in my trouser pocket...to discover Maya the puppy had eaten all the way through to the outside of the trousers making a large ragged hole!

2. In the last year, many pseudoscientific organizations and anti-transgender activists have worked to prop up misleading claims to imply that gender-affirming care is ineffective or dangerous.

Now, a new study completely contradicts that narrative - it actually saves lives.

I really wish 'gender critical' activists would grasp that we're not too scared to agree with them.

We think they're malicious idiots. if anything, we're scared to publicly *disagree* with them, because they harass, bully and dox women who don't buy into their cultist nonsense.
