You’re probably too young to remember the railway safety booklet with illustrations by Quentin Blake, that was handed out in schools.

It had a v gory picture of a decapitation that mesmerised and/or horrified every child

Quietly optimistic. I think it’s a really positive and promising appointment

One overlooked benefit of declaring preferred pronouns as a social norm is that it's not just for LGBTQ but also for people w non-Anglo names. I'm a cishet woman with a very feminine name but nobody's gonna know that if they don't know Chinese.
But the anti-LGBTQ crowd are also anti-immigrant so..

Thank you. Next time you share a statement, could you add alt text to the images?

Or, alternatively, include a link to a web version of the statement that could then be read with a screen reader tool.

This means more people would be able to read what you say
