It's not all great, and I am a bit "exactly how are we going to make this work, people?", but it's a huge improvement.

(I'm spending my spare time finding the truth behind myths about people who come to the UK seeking asylum, ahead of explaining same to my Guides. I heard a lot of worrying stuff from them last weekend and I'm not having them turn into baby fash on my watch, ta.)

I have so many thoughts about gen-AI and none of them are positive.

My family like to reminisce about the time I declared I was becoming a driving instructor. (But Kate, they said, you don't like people!)

One of the many reasons I loathe our LYS is that the woman on the till suggested I might not want my receipt to go to my (female) partner's email, because of the tired old hiding-purchases-from-your-husband not-joke.

Why thank you! I was waiting for the new leader and reassuring myself about their stance on trans rights.

Looping back to this: the police were brilliant. I got a call back and they agreed it sounded egregious. It's going on file in case similar happens again. Thank you for the prompt :)

Totally agree!

Thank you ❤️ Yeah, it didn't feel different to flashing to me. I've just reported it online - thanks for the prompt.

Angry Kate over and out.

I do care about encountering free-range penis more than briefly when wild swimming (skinny-dipper still naked from waist down a good 10 min after exiting water, where swim partner was fully dressed; he'd been standing knee/thigh-deep in water giving the opposite bank full-frontal when we arrived.)

For the avoidance of doubt: I am someone who is usually perceived as a cis woman, and I do not care about the genital configuration of anybody with whom I may share a public loo or a changing room.

Another reason to detest TERFery: I'm finding it really hard to express my discomfort in a way that doesn't sound eerily like a TERF on a rant about trans women in public loos.
