On 7 May, we face a clear choice:

✅ A Plaid Cymru Government that stands up for Wales and builds a better future
❌ Billionaire-backed Reform UK who would privatise our NHS and take Wales backwards

Only Plaid Cymru can stop Reform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May 🗳️

Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?"

The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused.

The BBC running with what is presumably a TERF press release because it totally misrepresents the judgement. Perhaps we should rename them the British Lying Corporation.

A Mayan incense burner depicting a were-jaguar from Tacotalpa, Tabasco. It is an anthropomorphic figure with jaguar features, richly adorned with a headdress and ceremonial elements. Some sources link it to the sun god in the underworld. Incense burners were fundamental objects in Mayan rituals.

Well that's a long way from ideal, but it is a serious kick in the nuts for the EHRC (who are tools of the Patriarchy and therefore have nuts regardless of their biology).

"Dangerously misrepresented"

Today, the High Court ruled that bathroom bans in the UK are not required following last year's Supreme Court decision

However, in a ruling which significantly damages Trans+ rights, this conclusion differs in workplaces, where exclusion will be lawful

How and why?🧵

So grateful for the cross-party support we’ve seen from politicians in LGBT History month. Humbled to to have reassurance from Lord Cashman that our message is definitely being heard 🙏

Today was very exciting, despite the torrential downpour this morning. As well as the paper on ritual use of vagina models, I
also got my first ever leads on some possible trans women in pharaonic Egypt.

Excellent thread from @kjcharleswriter.com on the ever-evolving book club scams. The fake websites and Discords I covered in my report last year are now looking even more professional.

Another reason to hate the so-called generative AI systems. 1/

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'unbelievable' #BookQW #Booksky
Dan Mackmain is used to facing supernatural dangers which no one else can see. Now he has to convince the cops that this very real world crime is nothing to do with him.
See linked post for purchase options and February ebook offer.
Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. Book extract reads: The copper wrote everything down and looked up. ‘Please can you tell me exactly what happened here this afternoon?’ That was easy enough. ‘We arrived a bit after five. We’ve rented the place for a week’s holiday. We were having a cup of tea when we heard a noise out the back. When we opened the door, there was a baby on the step.’ Saying that out loud, it did sound hard to believe. ‘What sort of noise did you hear?’ The policeman looked at me intently. ‘Voices? Footsteps? A car?’ ‘Nothing.’ I shook my head. ‘Sorry. I meant we heard the baby crying.’ ‘Nothing else?’ he persisted. I took a moment to think through everything again. ‘No. That’s all there was. Sorry.’ He should hear I was telling the truth. Fin would be saying exactly the same. I could hear low voices inside, even if I couldn’t make out her words. It was obvious these coppers had separated us to find out if our stories matched. I didn’t have to worry about that. But why had a baby been dumped on our doorstep? Who the hell had done this, and why? Now I was over the initial shock, I was getting uneasy.
