These are the reasons the Supreme Court gave for refusing to hear from the trans intervenors (whilst agreeing to hear from many transphobes).

None.

Our legal team of three barristers included two who are now KCs.

Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

WHICH FOOTBALL TEAM FANBASE IS THE MOST TRANSGENDER?

Because the news is miserable at the moment, I decided to be a bit silly

Fill in the form with the football team you support. The most popular club gets the title of “Most Transgender Football Club” next season 👇

"i never heard of autism growing up"
H.G.WELLS, THE ENGLISH NOVELIST PLAYING AN INDOOR WARGAME (From a Drawing by S. Begg in the Illustrated London News) "Mr. Wells has developed his game so that the country over which the campaign is to be fought is laid out in any desired manner, with the aid of branches of shrubs as trees, with cardboard bridges, rocks, chalked-out rivers, streams and fords, cardboard forts, barracks, houses, and what not; there are employed leaden infantrymen and cavalrymen, and guns firing wooden cylinders about an inch long, capable of hitting a toy soldiers nine times out of ten at a distance of nine yards, and having a screw adjustment for elevation and depression. There are strict rules governing the combat. Before the battle begins, the country is divided by the drawing of a curtain across it for a short time, so that the general of each opposing army may dispose of his forces without the enemy's being aware of that disposition. Then the curtains are drawn back and the campaign begins. All moves of men and guns are timed. An infantryman moves not more than a foot at a time, a cavalryman not more than two feet, and a gun, according to whether cavalry or infantry are with it, from one to two feet. Mr. Wells is seen on the left of the drawing, taking a measurement with a length of string, to determine the distance some of his forces may move. On the right and left are seen the curtains for dividing the country before beginning the game."

Reminder Starmer used the murder of Brianna Ghey to attack Sunak.

He was quite happy to acknowledge trans people when he needed a disposable attack line, the spineless coward.

The stance on women and statues in Nottingham is so fucking confusing. Right wing reactionaries say that the new Standing in This Place statue, celebrating the role of women in Nottingham's history, was a total waste of money (1/3)

Anyone know of any trans/LGBTQIA+ podcasts that focus on performing arts, or interviews w artists? Looking to publicise my upcoming production of trans play The Prince, which is the second ever UK staging of it, and only the third staging internationally.
