I will never understand the concept of Transphobia, I really will never.
I will always and forever stand by trans women are women and trans men are men and nothing can change that for me

Caveat, I am only on episode 5 so if it doesn't end well I may retract this!
Apple TV has been trying to force me to watch Prime Target by starting the episode as soon as I finish anything else I am watching. If they'd just made the trailer actually representative of the show I would have watched it willingly... As it turns out it is a RIOT & I recommend it 😂

Really hate doing this, but it's now a while since my funding ran out and I'm not having fantastic luck finding accessible part-time work while I finish the PhD. Which I am getting really close to doing.

Spotted this rather bizarre comment in a Guardian article about supermarkets. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I rather hope that he doesn't pass that attitude onto his children (and who knows if one or both of them are girls!)
