If you see people saying the Freedom Flotilla approaching Gaza needs to be stopped remind them that it's transporting baby food and prosthetic limbs for children and that only the vilest ghouls imaginable who have lost all their humanity would try and prevent such a delivery

The current rhetoric around the ECHR has me scared. Once that's gone, or starts to be stripped bare, the brakes are basically off.

Putting milk in your eyes is a quick route to an eye infection btw. If you were to need to wash anything out of your eyes, it would be better (by far) to use bottled water. If you need that info, for any reason

I wrestled w this for a long time bc I worked there. My conclusion was the nyt’s leaders see trans ppl as nothing more than plot devices in service of their deeply held prejudice.

medium.com/@selfsovall/... The EHRC has come to be at the epicentre of a national scandal. Britain's equality watchdog has been packed and subverted to attack minorities. Read how here.

God, this is so painfully familiar "Because, even then, you knew your chest should be covered up, even though your skin is flush against your ribs and males don’t need to cover up" I never learned to swim and hated going to the beach as a kid. I was much happier just wondering along the foreshore

Picked up a regular, 21 year old girl, who asked how old I was. I told her I'm 45, and she said she thought I was 35. I told her that was sweet, and reminded her she's legally blind. She said "oh yeah."

I certainly wasnt expecting a response from the Women and Equalities Select Committee on a Saturday. I think they may suffering from a high volume of communications.

I cannot emphasize this enough. Reach out to Your SF TD's, MLA's, councillors. They don't know about the NGS. They aren't clued in on the Cass report. The gender conference is early July. I've spoken to several and seen good results. Don't complain about the result after the fact.

I'd go further, anti-trans activists like to talk about the "bravery" of speaking out from behind actual castle walls with an army of lawyers at your beck and call. It's nothing compared to the bravery of anyone coming out in the last 7/8 years since the direction of travel has become more apparent

Mary-Ann Stephenson worked with numerous trans-inclusive organisations, including Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre as well as Coventry Women's Voices. The inclusive track record is *of* these organisations, not Stephenson. She moderated herself to work with others. I fear her being in charge.

The swell of donations on Thursday into Friday was incredible, but one good day sadly isn't enough. Heba and Mohammed need financial help every day. Please donate if you can. One Kilo of flour is $35USD (or it was a week or two ago probably more now) and to get that they need $81CAD donated.

Whenever it comes up in conversation, Brendan says that he went to school in the North Inner City. He means Belvedere, but he doesn’t say that.
