This version of the Odyssey has been sitting on my TBR pile for months. So excited to read....eventually.
i have been watching clips of the classicist Emily Wilson perform excerpts from her translations of the Odyssey and the Illiad and she is one of the most captivating speakers i have ever seen?

I keep thinking about how the misrepresentation of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit convinced Americans that it was too easy to sue corporations — a laughable idea if you think about it for 10 seconds.
It's the same with trans kids: The scandal is that care is too hard to get, not too easy.

10/n To sum up:
1. The moral panic was gibberish. Only a tiny proportion of kids have ever been diagnosed with GD, and very few of those got drugs in the UK.
2. Services in the UK were TERRIBLE before the Cass review. Less than 1/10 ELIGIBLE kids were prescribed medications!
