This particular chaplain is a very no-nonsense woman in her 70s and we have had lots of interesting chats about politics, gender etc and whilst we differ on how we see the world in many regards, her pastoral instincts are phenomenal.

It does feel a tad unfortunate that I keep reading it as twatlabs....

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'

And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'

Absolutely pathetic.

The First Time Mums and Female to Male 'FTM' communities sometimes get incredibly amusing and confusing...

I have a work colleague who would love these

This picture made my heart ache, but in largely wonderful ways

Leeds is screwed so I refunded that and chose a Doncaster route, only for there to then be a lack of driver.

So I am in spirit in Sheffield for their Advent Procession, but in body will be going to a local church for theirs instead. New Year, not new nonsense!

I foolishly decided to use a ticket machine and so now am waiting seven to ten days for the ticket office to be able to sort out a refund. I'm sure Steve is a lovely guy but my will to live is waning as he types.

I detest using Trainline but must admit that sorting refunds there is far less painful

There is a hilarious aspect in that just as the perpetrator was revealed in usual murder mystery fashion the fire alarm has gone off 😅

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.

It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.

And it costs lives.
