In an attempt to reduce the amount of recycling we create, we have started using Lush shampoo bars and solid cosmetics.
It's not the first time Red has tried this and she found an unidentified bar in the cupboard. Can anyone tell us what Red has just washed herself with?

The rot in the EHRC’s leadership goes far beyond the Chair. Exposed through FOIs, the bias of the Baroness turned a once heralded navigator of complex equality issues into a GERM-ridden genocidal machine. Well done @tacc.org.uk for shining a light up a very dark passage.

FOI Exposes EHRC Bias: Private Meetings, Legal Echoes, and Policy Capture - Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
Let’s be honest. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is not acting like a neutral regulator. It is not standing above the fray.

Ian Dunts' latest substack is a wonderful summary of Faulkners grilling by the Women and Equality Select Comission and picks apart the EHRC guidance and highlights why workplaces could be open to legal action if they follow it. A must-read for every UK trans.

I had an unexpected encounter with my estranged mother yesterday in the ladies' toilet. She was waiting for the cubicle I was in! The irony wasn't lost on me, given that our estrangement stems from her refusal to acknowledge my gender identity.

Health isn't just physical.
If a part of your body makes you feel alienated from yourself, is it still “healthy”?
For some, bilateral mastectomy is the beginning of healing.
