No thanks - I no longer want any communication from the BBC. I'd quite like just to pay a sub for Radio 3 though.
The corporation was also urged to improve the way it connects with working-class audiences and women over 60...

This should be more common knowledge. A physical therapist said that the vagina of a 25y old woman on testosteron looked exaclty like the vagina of a 83y old woman. Vaginal Atrophy.
Mostly irreversible too.

Enjoying catching up with @realbaddiel.bsky.social 'Catman'. However let's just say, if I ever got invited round to Josh Widdicombe's ( admittedly unlikely) I'd refuse a drink.

And BTW this man was fully supported in the disciplinary process by @rcn.org.uk who we note did not support Jennifer Melle.

A (male) nurse at my local hospital was recently struck off for unnecessary "intimate examinations" of young boys; the report didn't mention whether police are involved.

This is absolutely first class.

A critique of why the puberty blocker trial will not produce results that aren't already known, and has built in ‐ activist driven - bias.

Stop the trial.

Increasingly, the only sane & kind place I visit is the vets. Noone tries to persuade me my pet is anything other than female or that she was born in the wrong body. The patients are delightful, my opinions are valued & the treatment is exemplary. The NHS could learn a lot.

Just had a feedback questionnaire from a concert venue asking whether I "identify" as deaf. How is this not insulting to actual deaf people?

If nothing else, the #Darlingtonnurses ET is concrete evidence for #women that if they want proper employment protection the old patriarchal @tuc.org.uk unions are not where you should put your money. @rcn.org.uk @unison.org.uk and @gmb.org.uk are dinosaurs.

Manchester @greenparty.org.uk hopeful here wants to get elected in May. This is a typical response of his to women who don't agree with him, who he refers to as c*nts. Why would any woman vote for this?
