Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We are especially interested at the moment in hearing from men and women, ideally stealth, whose employers are asking them to use the wrong toilets.

Was talking about Istanbul with local #boardgame group and how it's absolutely fantastic and often unfairly compared to Concordia. This led to me calling Istanbul Ocean Colour Scene and Concordia Oasis. Following on then Power Grid is The Stone Roses and The Smiths/Cure are Catan/Carcassone

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️ We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act. So we’re readying a challenge – join us: goodlaw.social/xpme

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48" x 48" Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. 1/3 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/wa...

Without fail, whenever there's an article about a transgender person, the comments have at least one person who boldly declares: “There are only two genders! XX and XY!” The reality, of course, is not that simplistic, far from it.

Gosh, it’s almost as if… A) people who are okay with demolishing a group’s rights never stop at one group. B) transphobia and homophobia are part of the same bigoted grab bag. C) gendercritters and their enablers are just hateful fascists. I won’t say “pick one” because it’s all three.

#OtD 1 Apr 1982 oil company Exxon made a private report on CO2. It showed burning fossil fuels would cause global warming which may be irreversible and could be detectable by 1995. They then spent $31m to spread false propaganda claiming the opposite stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8039...

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Fun fact. In over 30 years of having people over to play games no noticeable damage to any game has happened because of food and drink. Not a bit. Even as teens. The one thing that has caused game damage is compulsive card benders. It's never food or drink. Stop being paranoid and be a good host

Sigh. Once again, capitalism is not equal to the concepts of money, trade, or value exchange. You can be against capitalism and still expect to get paid for your work without being any kind of hypocrite.
