In case you're in Scotland and wondering why it's meant to rain tonight, it's because I left my flat for the night in a short top with no coat, sorry lads

This is just abysmally poorly thought through. Even ignoring the moral issues, if you recognise that a birth certificate may not be an authority on sex as assigned at birth, why suggest asking for it lmao

Really hope the markers of the sleep-deprived, written-primarily-in-one-12-hour-session essay I handed in last week have the same philosophy, some of those sentences approached were basically paragraphs🙏

Currently deep in the all nighter essay writing trenches. At least I've picked a linguistic topic that's fairly easy to pivot into infodumping about the history of Gaelic's decline and revitalisation

With Liz Saville-Roberts being in the news, this poll comes to mind. As a percentage of her work day, how long do you think Eluned Morgan spends screaming into the void about Starmer?

Absolutely going to buy this when I'm in Adelaide in July, it's gorgeous #afl

This would kill as a dating app profile pic in the all important anxious anorak demographic

The boiler is on the fritz and omg washing dishes with cold water is HELLISH

Aus Liberals lost, Crows won, both Edinburgh Bloods teams won. Bliss!!

There's so much I enjoy about the medical system here but I reckon the waiting on hold for a minimum of 15 minutes to book a routine appointment must be up there in terms of my favourites

This is like the least important issue ever but it annoys me a bit how hard it seems to be to discuss* Doctor Who without people talking about leaks *silently read other people discussing it without ever taking part

The worst thing about John Lithgow Harry Potter discourse is that every time I see his name I'm forced to nod to myself and mutter John Linlithgow

I'm used to transphobic politicians, journos, and general loudmouth internet people not knowing anything about any of the trans issues they're talking about, but I must admit how surprised I am that none of them seem to know how toilets work?

I know this isn’t a particularly rational thought because coming out in a semi-rural small school would have not resulted in a great experience either, but all this shit really makes me wish I was out and proud as a teen instead of quietly taking blockers and going to the GIC biding my time til uni

Fairly good timing from me to have started on an SSRI like a week before the supreme court case I reckon

May be a muddled point but it's worth pointing out that even if we take it as given that someone with a GRC shouldn't be protected from sex discrimination based on their acquired gender*, the vast majority of trans people have been happily accessing toilets etc *without* a GRC for decades

I'm always sort of fascinated by how prominent the complaints of degendering people are on here when often the degendering in question is just someone using "they" as opposed to "s/he" when talking casually about someone.

I think for me as a trans person who definitely got a few lucky rolls of the dice in terms of being able to pass, what feels particularly distressing about the constant bullshit is how much it feels imposed from on high. I live my life as a woman with no obstacles except for the ones my govt builds

When the Crows game started, I was annoyed that I'd have to leave in the third quarter. By now I'm seeing it as a lucky escape #afl

Good post but you're forgetting the key "hormones have no bearing on your sex unless it lets us be really racist" clause which is vital to these people

I know I'm just restating what others have said but it will never stop baffling me that at one point about 8 years ago we were going to get UKwide GRA reform ushered in by Theresa May's Tories. Such a stark contrast

Probably a good thing I've been trying antidepressants this week

This awful fucking country man

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Excellent game and I really enjoyed it but we were fucking robbed by the umps there. Always nice to add to the scrapbook of moral victories, I suppose. Carn crows, top 8 is absolutely in sight imo #afl
