Host of The Big Queer Quiz. Former music writer & editor, was in some bands. Now a renegade behavioural economist with own consultancy. Occasionally spews thoughts on economics, data, politics, music, movies and queer stuff. (also known as Chapman)
The transphobic BS I get pushed by Facebook may finally be enough to switch me over to here. Said that before, but haven't had the stomach to endure months of talking into the void that are necessary for starting again. This place doesn't make me hate everything though, so may be the way forward.

Dusting off this profile to shamelessly promote The Big Queer Quiz, a fundraiser for @goodlawproject.bsky.social and The Albert Kennedy Trust on Friday 28th of this month (2 weeks!). We've sold 70% of the tables, but would love to sell out again. The Century Club in Soho (London), link in comments.

Someone flagged this to me, and honestly it really is worth reading. I've posted most of my thoughts on the subject on Meta's Facefail of Misery, but really must try to move across to this platform! This letter hits all of the points perfectly. Except phrased far more politely than I would have!
This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

Disappointed in myself that it's taken me two months to log back into here, given the bin fire of the other place (long abandoned) and the other other place that's rapidly heading the same way and I really out to abandon too. Need to learn to get the hang of this platform and adapt!

To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault.
But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat.
Okay.

On this Trans Day Of Remembrance a reminder that:
> 320 trans people murdered last year (94% femme)
> Murders have doubled in 4 years
> Trans women are 4x more likely to be victims of sexual and violent assault than cis women
Trans people are no threat to anyone statistically. We are the targets.
