Have the ‘gender critical’ transphobes undone themselves in their relentless pushing of boundaries to be even more bigoted? 🤨

@samcarling.bsky.social Sam, would you support this letter? This whole thing stinks.
I’ve written, alongside colleagues, to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.
We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.
The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

This is beautful. And so simple.
Queer people are scared. This is all you have to do as a cis het person to help take some of that fear away.

I wonder if @samcarling.bsky.social has an opinion on this: an LGBT MP with a history of "exceptional performance in biology"!
Come on Sam, today's catastrophic results surely show that it's time Labour stopped trying to be more Reform than Reform! They're better at it, and it validates them.

This is brilliant.
One of my very first columns, twenty years ago, was about the daftness of eliminating bilateral trade deficits.
We hired a babysitter to look after Baby Harford (who has now long since grown up and left home).
Bilateral trade deficit with babysitter. Sad!
