Self-inflicted embarrassment for the University of Warwick — first it rebrands hyper-generically, then someone totally unhinged decides the *front page of the uni website* should say ‘Learn more about our Brand’.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

Misgendering someone by using the wrong pronouns in a meeting is worse than mispronouncing their name.
What might seem like a small thing to you might mean the world (if you get it right) to, or hurt (if you get it wrong) others.
Please make an effort, it's not that hard to learn.
