Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I've read all the books and most (maybe all) the short stories. I'm very tempted to reread them all, but I still have a few (a lot) of other books I should read first.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

Without fail, whenever there's an article about a transgender person, the comments have at least one person who boldly declares: “There are only two genders! XX and XY!” The reality, of course, is not that simplistic, far from it.
Beyond XX & XY—Human Sex And Gender Were Never A Simple Binary
Humans are more complicated than most online experts think.

Of course, this option is in the app for the headphones. Not the device the headphones are connected to. So YMMV.

Yes, this is standard in the pro audio world. I'm even seeing 'lossless' when I play music on my phone.

I've only been using BT headphones for a few a short time, so I only recently discovered that I can choose between audio quality and smooth playing. Selecting the latter solved an annoying problem when playing music with long sustained notes. No more millisecond drop outs or pops! Still sounds good.

While the fallout is pretty horrific I am tickled by journalists scraping stories from the Bugle of all places, the global centre for bullshit. Looking forward to some scathing Florence Nightingale and smurfs hit pieces in the near future.

A classic. I first saw it in a cinema in the 70s. I mean, it was a family event. We all enjoyed it. We even bought the soundtrack album. I'll forever be haunted by the ending.
