Tell that to the heartbroken daughter of a friend who’s quit guides because of this shameful move, Joanne. She can’t bear to see trans girls excluded.

Your Harry Potter money funds this shit. Don’t buy in.
But what if the "thing of their own" is a friendship with a girl in Guides who happens to be trans?

I honestly think Rowling has lost touch with how real people's lives actually work.

And, also, Rowling's movement is gearing up to get girls kicked out of Scouts, so this "answer" is horseshit.

Isn’t it fascinating that the Tribunal has ended up exactly where we were years ago on then-Twitter? We told the bigots that their niche law point wouldn’t get them anywhere. And look, it has played out exactly as we predicted.

Mainstream news covered the Jeffrey Epstein emails related to ppl like Trump. Today, I want to take a look at Epstein's correspondence with prominent atheist and physicist Lawrence Krauss, who asked the pedophile's advice on responding to accusations of sexual assault skepchick.org/2025/11/so-i...

When even Alistair Campbell is calling out the BBC's constant blatant prejudice and discrimination against transgender people, maybe it's time call out the BBC & it's journalists have become.

"It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects." - Alfred Kinsey
Colin "Often Wrong" Wright, has a new paper on the scientific "fact" of "binary sex"... Good news, everyone. The "designed to produce gamete l/s" has gone! Bad news, everyone. It's been replaced with a new fallacious view that you just don't count if you don't match his model!

“The binary doesn’t have to include everyone” sounds like a description of something that…isn’t binary, but I am not an Important Scientist. Clearly a computer would be fine with its binary numbers including a few that weren’t either 0 or 1. It wouldn’t make any difference to it.

The judge really lets rip here, at length - the courts have clearly had enough of the Burkes.

He also ruled that criminal contempt proceedings should be taken against Mr Burke as well as his brother Isaac, sister Ammi and mother, Martina for their conduct in court hearings.
“The judge said Mr Burke had not been imprisoned or fined for his views on transgender issues, which he was perfectly entitled to have and to articulate... he had been dismissed from his position for gross misconduct.”

His fallacy goes like this:

p1) Sex is a binary category male/female you can apply to gametes, hormones, genitalia, meccano connectors etc. 🆗

p2) Humans have sexual characteristics 🆗

🚩 THEREFORE 🚩

c) You must be able to apply a binary sex classification to humans

artificially ruling out all the exceptions is how you know your binary is real and natural

In the future, we'll all have Digital IDs where our pronouns are our gametes. We'll be compelled to introduce ourselves with our gamete type and wear sperm or ova badges, regardless of whether we actually have either.

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

99.9 percent of the people saying "The law is the law" have never read the FWS decision, or the applicable laws.

I do enjoy watching the bigots realize their 'magic bullet' supreme court ruling wasn't the magic bullet they wanted it to be and stamping their feet like the petulant babies they are.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".

But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.
In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

Only one AWS region went out? Seems like there will be a big uptick in demand for AWS Architects as that's poor design. Our demo k8s clusters are in two GCP zones in one region, but anything prod I'd be concerned if it was in one region only!
