I realise I cropped that poorly, but yes that is apparently a “senior figure” with Starmer making a “chicks with dicks” jibe in a briefing to the Spectator headlined by a quote from another Labour official saying this:

I'm not writing a 2025 of achievements (at least not today) because while I've had some awesome achievements this year, and some more in the pipeline, it really wouldn't give a full picture of what I've been up to this year, much of which isn't suitable for sharing on social media.

Ok looks like this is actually very bad data analysis too...
Glad to see this article focused primarily on systemic issues and not patient shaming.
However, it does strike me that last year I held out for a GP surgery appointment where my complaint was 'sore throat', (arguably I should have been at a pharmacy)

My immune system got too busy attacking itself to focus on attacking the pathogens its actually meant to be attacking so have ended up with an autoimmune flare + tonsilitis for the release of the Levy Review.

Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

The world would be so many times better if we could all stop carrying out sexual violence against each other.

Fascinated by the concept of the human rights of a subset of the population being a "private affair."

Have yet to see an example "they would never talk about x people like this" or "this would never happen to x people" which doesn't happen regularly to a marginalised group of x

!["I, a trans woman, believed I had to follow the EHRC interim update and was followed into the men's room by a male security officer and told to get out. It is worth noting that before this I was already shaking with fear about the possible confrontation that could ensue. The security man and the two other men in the room circled me. I said I believed, according to what the EHRC and our political leaders have said, that I have to be in there now.
Now that he infers I am trans, he starts sniggering at me. The other men in the room join him in laughing at me. I tell him that it isn't funny and please stop laughing at me. He doesn't stop and I say "it might be funny to you but to me this is my life and I am scared, scared about being attacked, please stop laughing, it's not funny'. He tells me he doesn't care what I have to say, that I need to get out. So I do.
I leave and talk to the store manager, where again, I have to relay all sorts of intimate and private details, of my background, my trans and intersex statuses, history of being assaulted, my genital configuration. This is humiliating.
I felt deeply unsafe, humiliated, hopeless like nobody cares, violated. I don't think the EHRC lets me use the [service of my gender] so I was just denied service."

Gross language and framing (thanks, British Establishment) but ideal outcome:
The tribunal found that there is no strict legal requirement to exclude trans women from women's changing rooms.

This week two legal judgements, concerning employers based in Scotland, have shown that employers are not obliged to exclude trans people from facilities that align with their gender.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

As someone who has cooked for multiple mixed veggie/vegan and meat-eater Christmases, the only things that 'need' meat in them is the main meat and pigs-in-blankets. Everything else can be so easily veggie and (with sometimes marginally more effort) vegan & add a vegan/veggie main like a nut roast.
Absolutely this but also (although appreciate this is more a UK plea) Yorkshire puddings are easily vegetarian (just cook in oil not meat fat) and if you are having a roast dinner, of course the vegetarians will want Yorkshire pudding, we’re just avoiding the meat.
LISTEN UP BUCKAROOS. honestly as vegetarian it is my number one rare and appreciated holiday situation to show up and discover that the stuffing was specifically made in a way that vegetarian and vegan buckaroos can eat it too, and this is so easy to do

okay, I have to wonder how many of the people declaring that disability accommodations have gone "too far":
1. are disabled.
2. went through the process themselves.
3. work in higher ed at all.
4. read ANY critical disability studies work at all? Like, any?

I'm too angry for words this morning. I can't grasp that the message we are sending as a society to another generation of young women and girls (and other young people) is that their place in the world should be determined by whether they were born with a vulva (or not).

Of course Girlguiding was going to roll because despite being propped up by trans and queer people of all genders they've always ultimately made decisions in the interest of the organisation over everything else
