It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real

Both are true

I care about it so little that I am ignoring the coronation. He's still Prince Charles to me and will be until he pops off for good.

I was an angel lots of times in the church nativity but we didn't do school nativities. Zoe was in one this year (and I find it a bit odd in a nominally non-religious school).

It tells you that these cases - the openly bigoted racists who have been found to have impermissibly manifested their beliefs in harassing innocent colleagues?

This is the best they have.

Will infinite resources help them win?

Well now…

You have to understand that the film industry has always seen creative personnel as a hindrance and a necessary evil to make money. AI is a dream come true for them but they don’t realize how easily it can bite them like in the butt, leaving them with yesterday’s trend

You can make the same comparisons with Chem Eng vs Electrical Engineering - both hard science based but Chem Eng has more women and is becoming viewed as less difficult (I am a female chemical engineer).

No, it's explicitly "too many girls, can't be that hard, status and pay will now drop". It's a pattern that has repeated over multiple professions and disciplines. It's not about the subject.

In what way did SP have a nsrrow win? The judgement declared her to be an unreliable witness (racist remarks) and concluded that she harrased Dr U. Her lawyer's line of questioning was condsidered to be unacceptable - Orwell referencing torture. She lost 43 of the 47 issues. Dr U was exonerated.

"Haha, they think it's gay to like women!"

a) Kind of always has been

b) Understand the reactionary logic at play instead of dismissing it as silly, because it has more cache with young men than it should.

'Some politician' is unfortunately the Health Secretary, who is doing an RFK. impression.

This is a real disaster for those - pretty much the entirety of the British media - advancing a maximalist reading of the For (Some) Women Scotland decision.

And when they do manage to cheat their way into getting something, they get horribly petulant that people don't immediately give them the respect that previous award-winners have had, because the award was a recognition of being worthy of respect, not the thing that caused the respect.
