Victoria Derbyshire is still employed by the BBC as a journalist, is she not? She's doing a great job here.

I'll be fair to him, it was a good message for this year. Talking about respect for people of all the major faiths, and multiculturalism as well as showing him with different faith leaders.

To be fair, I don't think he had much choice in that. I would have loved to hear them discuss climate change.

The conclusion of the investigation into his conduct by his publisher recommended that staff meet with him in pairs and do not visit his house.

That's fairly telling on what type of man he is.

Today I am very pleased my daughter has never had a book by David Walliams.

However this is an excellent time to share some good children's books.

Factionalism & division lead to people celebrating death. It leads to extremists who think firing guns at people is the answer.

Murder is never the answer, wherever you lie on the political spectrum. A man I fundamentally disagree with has died. It will likely polarise people more. Don't celebrate

Bigotry bingo. A side order of racism with the transphobia.

Probably a bit of ableism too based on the some medical conditions. PCOS, alopecia, mastectomy for cancer, menopause, other hormone imbalances.

My saving graces are my height and boobs (and based on previous accusations from Rowling, my white skin). I don't dress particularly feminine. PCOS, middle age and laziness mean my upper lip hair is more pronounced than I'd like.

What a time to be a woman.

But they can always tell - didn't you know?

You have to laugh, now to *protect* women they are advocating taking photos of women that they think don't look womanly enough, so they can publicly shamed the woman for her looks, and make it so she's too scared to use a public toilet.

Silly typo. Not distracting the class

Why is governance more lax in private healthcare providers?

Do they not have to carry out patient safety investigations? Do they not have to report never events and demonstrate adherence to international guidelines like the WHO safety checklist?
April 27, 2025 at 10:40 PM
That's one of my concerns. In the USA I've heard of men chasing women into the toilets because they think the woman is a trans woman.

This encourages misogynistic stereotyping to judge who can use which toilets or changing rooms.
April 27, 2025 at 10:31 PM
It puts all women and non-gender conforming people at risk.

Anyone using female coded spaces now runs the risk of violence and aggression if they do not look "feminine" enough.

It excludes all trans people from public spaces.

Didn't the late Pope make similar comments about genocide? I mean maybe more moderate in that he suggested the Hague should look into whether the actions of the Israeli govt amounted to genocide, but same sentiment.

Good to know she thinks that's grounds for visa cancellation.
April 27, 2025 at 10:19 PM
What until she discovers Rage Against the Machine.

I wonder if she'd have wanted the late Pope banning from the USA too. He made similar comments about genocide.

If the child is working, learning and not disappearing the class then what is the problem?

I can't sit still for too long - my brain turns off. And I'm an adult
April 27, 2025 at 10:02 PM
Exactly. We need to focus on our relationship with our closest neighbours and allies in Europe.

The USA is not a friend off ours right now, just as it is not a friend of Europe or Canada.

Do you know what her chromosomes are? Do you know what you're chromosomes are?

You are assuming she has XY chromosomes and an SRY gene based on an unpublished "gender test" performed by a discredited regulator.
March 27, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Not if the person doesn't know they have an intersex condition. You don't know what her chromosomes are or whether she has ovaries. Your don't know what her testosterone levels are?

The only fact is that she was assigned female at birth and brought up as a woman.
March 27, 2025 at 9:34 PM
The term is intersex not "hermaphrodite". She was assigned female at birth. She is a woman or has an intersex condition.
March 27, 2025 at 9:32 PM
And if she does have a generic intersex condition, then maybe there needs to be a wider discussion about intersex conditions in elite sports.

But pointing at a person and saying "man" who has been brought up as a woman, and may just now be finding out they have an intersex condition is bullying.
March 25, 2025 at 7:40 AM
I'm seeing "supposedly".

If she does have a generic intersex condition, fine. But she still should be treated with compassion, because - can you imagine finding that out in your 20s?
March 25, 2025 at 7:38 AM
And like 99% of the things that come out of his mouth - that is demonstrably bollocks.
March 21, 2025 at 6:50 PM
Trump saw something he could capitalise on.

If she does have an intersex condition she needs compassion and support. Would be pretty shitty to find you have a condition that means you are infertile, not genetically female and have to give up your career.
March 21, 2025 at 6:49 PM
He's not right. He said she's trans. She's not. She was assigned female at birth. So according to Trump's Executive Order she is a woman.

According to current rules you fight in your legal gender category based on your passport.
