I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

This one came up in Facebook memories today. I do a lot more sewing and a lot less knitting than I did five years ago, but I still think about this a lot.

Those who shared my outrage when Walkers retired their Worcester sauce crisps may be interested to see what my partner found in Sainsbury’s!

Here's an impact of the SC ruling on "biological sex" that demonstrates that it's anti-feminist.
Recoding the gender pay gap as the "biological sex" pay gap will make it seem less of a problem than it is, because trans women are on average paid less than cis women 1/2

Yesterday I dressed up and went to see Rocky Horror. Today I cycled to a primary school in the rain and stood around watching small children being very cute in their Easter hat parade. I feel like these two extremes need to be recorded.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

We just went to see the Minecraft movie (*) with six 8/9 year olds, and now my back garden is full of said children, most of whom will be in my house overnight 😱

Went to get tea with colleagues who're 20 years younger than me. Cafe was playing 'Especially for you'. I wailed about incipient earworm, but colleagues did not know the song. The woman serving coffee (my age) and I shared a moment of experiencing our age. The damn thing is still playing in my head.

My excellent friend @ickbat.bsky.social is Kickstarting a role playing game inspired by the gorgeous novella This is How You Lose The Time War. Cannot wait to play this.
And there it is! In the 68th minute we crossed the threshold -- this time war is on!
Thank you everyone. I really love this game, and I think you're going to love it too. Please continue to share the word, and I'll get an update up as soon as I can!

Picked up some delights in the Oxfam superstore today: unopened copy of an Agatha Christie card game, beautiful purple scarf-shawl, and a piece of blue possibly-wool fabric with pretty selvedges. Regret going out because my body ran out of battery half way round, but don’t regret these!

I am on the Pantone website looking for their colour of the year… What does it say about me that I initially read “earthly refinement” as “early retirement”?
