State Of The World – November
Welcome to the State of the World, November edition. Here are the stories that caught my attention this month. Cambridge oldest women only collage supports trans women Cambridge’s oldest women-only college has stated it’ll keep admitting trans women, even after the Supreme Court ruled a woman means a biological female. Newnham College, which has feminist Germaine Greer, actress Emma Thompson and presenter Clare Balding among its alumni, has created a gender policy stating it is open to all female applicants – including transgender women. Although it has been accepting trans-identified males since 2017, its new policy document enshrines their ability to access the single-sex space.

Nothing about us, without us.
And with things like the puberty blocker trial, that doesn't simply mean involving trans adults - it means listening to young people and being led by their experience.

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

The right wing claims the BBC is against Donald Trump and ‘pro-trans’, but the people at the sharp end of its coverage disagree.
The BBC must stop its attack on trans people.

The Problem Although I use Mac’s or iPad’s for almost all my computing tasks, there’s one thing they’re useless at: gaming. The hardware can handle gaming; you can easily get 30fps in Cyberpunk 2077 on a base model M4 Mac mini (mine does that easily with decent settings). However, unfortunately, many games aren’t available for the Mac. Additionally, storage is very expensive for Mac’s, and games aren’t getting smaller, in fact they seem to be getting bigger.

A quarter of trans people have suffered violence, two-thirds have been abused in public. More than eight in ten say the UK is now unsafe.
This is the result of ten years of demonisation by press and politicians stoked by far-right money and people like Rowling.

The Green Party: A New Hope for Progressives
Last week, I left the Liberal Democrats to join the Green Party. These are the main reasons for my decision, even though I still support the vast majority of their policies. Steadfast support for Transgender People The Green membership is strongly unified on the rights for transgender people. 90% of party members believe people should be able to identify as a different gender than that recorded at birth, while 80% think the law should allow people to change their legal gender more easily. These figures compare to 49% and 34% respectively among the wider public.

Here are the 4 main reasons why I joined the Greens
1. The parties support for Transgender Rights
2. Commitment to Re-Join the EU
3. Proper tax on the wealthy.

"it's us or Reform" only works if people actually see you as the actual leading alternative
yeah most constituencies don't have a Plaid Cymru, but they have a Lib Dem, a Green, an SNP, a popular local independent, etc.

Started on Progesterone For those who don’t know, Progesterone is taken by transgender women after being on HRT for at least 12 months to boost breast growth. As I was not happy with my chest I started on this 4 weeks ago. It has helped a lot with my chest, I can feel them getting bigger. It is not advisable to stay on this long though as you can have to much Estrogen in your body, and this along with the cream I am on will put me over the recommended limit if I stay on it.
