I am trying to buy some trousers but I am coming up against a major stumbling block in that all men's trousers are either boring or ugly or both?

do you think they stopped to consider that "delivering what the people want" and "very likely to lose his seat at the next election" aren't really two things that can be true at once

It’s interesting that literally every time these people are forced to consider the views of the electorate, the solution is always either lying to them or some form of shenanigans and fuckery

Going to close my Monzo account because their customer service is abysmal. Anyone had good/bad experiences with Starling or Chase that I should know about?

I'm part of a minority - a few minorities - and I know how it feels and what it looks like when we win our rights, rights we should have had in the first place. It is the feeling of your shoulders dropping, of being able to breathe easier, of being together with your peopel and celebrating together.

It's clear and, in its own scope, right. But the problem is that every time a court says its decisions will not diminish the equal status & protection of trans people, the politics prove quite otherwise. It makes Hodge's statement ('not the victory of one group over another') look at best naive.

Nearly 20 years ago I brought a sexual harassment case against my cis het male line manager who persistently came on to me and then became abusive after I rejected him. He knew I was gay & had a partner but what came out in the horribly protracted investigation was his defence which was...

This says that people working at Capital Radio are being driven insane by constant repetitive performances of the same annoying songs, which is “a bit rich” if you ask me.

Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.

Huh, clever. Exclude trans people from participating, thereby making it impossible for any us to appeal it to the ECHR. Very clever. Cunning, one might say.

The highlighted part here remains true, by the way. Most people, people who aren't MPs or rent-a-gob media figures, aren't interested in these kinds of attacks.

How the hell did we as a society get to the point where we’ve decided one of the historically most marginalised groups, trans people, are the cause of all our problems and not the greedy billionaires manipulating everything? It’s the greatest trick the elite have played and they are laughing at us

the one law for trans people essentially comes with a "disregard this entirely if its more convenient" clause which is yet another reason the GRA is bad law we should have been working to repeal and replace with something better!

One of my jobs is writing copy for DK Science books. Who explains everything from metallic bonding to the mating habits of eels in 35 words or less? Me, that’s who (at least, I’m one of the writers/consultants) Anyway, good news: one of the full-time editors recently confirmed: “Ai is banned at DK”
