I thought it was interesting that DA and non-DA homicides have been counter-cyclical over the last decade, and followed v different patterns long-term. 17% of homicides have been DA since 2003, 15% over the past decade.

Two things. 1 I think the transition out of the Soviet Union is instructive here (for both men and women, I think). 2 Life is disappointing and hard for everyone. That is being treated as a problem to be solved politically for just men and boys. For women and girls it's life.

OK, so you're putting them all in wheelchairs? And then how are you comparing their skill levels?
November 10, 2025 at 4:32 PM
How are you testing skill? Talk me through how you're going to compare the e.g. rugby skill level of a 30yo able-bodied female, a 15yo able-bodied male, a 75yo female & a 20yo quadriplegic male in a wheelchair.

By removing Paralympic & age categories you'd removed not only fairness & safety for women & disabled people, but also any safe route into many sports for anyone - & as you want to retain weight categories you haven't even achieved intellectual consistency. Well done I guess 🏆

Are you against Paralympic sports & age & weight categories too, or is it just a female category you think "ruins the idea of a sport"? Why?

In addition, vouchers (and indeed universal free breakfast clubs) are just a really good way to spend a pound to get 70p worth of outcome.
Vouchers? I thought we’d spent decades shifting away from stigmatising and shaming the poor with vouchers e.g. free school meal tickets.

It’s also worth noting that Adriana was a nurse who sought medical care for severe headaches during pregnancy.

She knew something was wrong.

She was dismissed & sent home and died the next day.

Medical misogyny killed her, and then the abortion ban caused her to be turned into an incubator
Adriana Smith, Misogyny and the Cruelty of Forced Birth
Adriana Smith couldn't access competent medical care when she needed it, and it killed her. Now the hospital is forcing 'care' on her by keeping her alive as an incubator due to Georgia's abortion ban

You're belittling women by trying to turn them into a religion anyone can convert to. Many women have no particular attachment to femininity or socially-constructed ideas of womanhood, but this doesn't protect them from sexism & misogyny, so they still need to be treated as female by the EA.

Assuming Labour aren't in a hurry to introduce electoral reform (they don't look keen, but hey stranger things have happened!) it seems strange, when main problem you have had for a year is accelerating vote losses on the left flank, to push a policy which is v likely to provoke further such losses

The EA is also law. So "in law" as a whole, TW are sometimes women & sometimes men, depending on context. In the context of single-sex services covered by the EA, they are men.

The SC ruling clarified "sex" in the EA means sex, not gender as conferred by a GRC, so a TW with or without a GRC is male for EA purposes. If someone's sex is actually in dispute in relation to a discrim claim, it's established as part of fact-finding, but this isn't usually relevant to TW
