I notice the #BBC don't mention FtoM access to facilities. There seems to be a selective blindness here to the existence of F to M #transgender people. What facilities will they use, and how will tabs-exclusionary 'feminists' react to that? Watch this space.

If our work as writers is so worthless to Meta, then why do they keep stealing it as a needed commodity to feed their water guzzling, art destroying, immoral, environmental monster? Without our work, there'd be no return in their "investment" and because without our #Writing their AI is worthless.

UK inflation rate (CPI) is down to 2.6%, scream the headlines. No mention of inflation-busting price rises - energy, water, groceries, internet, train/bus fares, rents, housing costs, mobile phones, dental charges, insurance. Inflation of essentials hits low/middle income families the hardest.

Being human is the only requirement for human rights. There is no disability, diagnosis, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, criminal record, religion, country of origin, etc that disqualifies a person.

I'm ex #NHS nurse and in my experience birth males are treated in the same clinics as female patients as there are relative few men (yes, men get breast cancer). Wonder how this relates to the Sup. Court ruling.

Following #UK Supreme Court ruling I'd be interested to see what happens when some tall, bearded, gym trans-blokes law-abidingly use a womens' toilet. I'm no lawyer, but if I were If want to defend that case. I feel Sup. Court have fallen into the trap of ruling on what they fundamentally don't get.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

I think the biggest problem in the UK is probably the people who have decided Reform UK are the solution. If you just stopped being totally stupid and easily brainwashed there could actually be a change.
