The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds.

Head Terf donated £70,000 to this cause in the 'interests of women and girls'. £70,000 could have funded 7 university places. It could have gone to shelters or youth groups. It could have gone to women in Gaza. It could have bought £70,000 99 cones for women on the street and been more helpful.

An important reminder as the Supreme Court makes its judgement - not a single trans person was heard from at any point during this case before them, even a trans judge who applied was refused.
This is, as usual, the British state acting as cis people to impose their will on trans people.

Friends, lesbians, countrymen, if we work hard enough I do believe we can elevate Cynthia Erivo's "I'm Not That Girl" to Doris Day's "Secret Love" levels of technically-not-sapphic-classic.

Finally finished Veilguard. Everyone's going to find a little fault in something. But this game was clearly meticulously crafted by people who love Thedas as much as I do. The last 2-3 hours of gameplay deserve an Oscar. 💜💜💜
