Big very scary announcement that I never thought I'd have to make so I put nice music and a relaxing nostalgic background on it for you.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.
It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.
Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

This sounds hyperbolic and I need every cis person following me, who thinks it is, to understand this is very much the reality in the UK.
So basically in the UK, any time someone regrets having sex with a trans woman, they can go cry to the police that she "lied" about being a woman and the police and jury will believe them every time.
Then the woman will be sentenced to be raped by men in men's prison.
Then the woman will be sentenced to be raped by men in men's prison.
This is a vastly upsetting case, that uses CPS guidelines that effectively mean if Trans+ people don't come out before sexual contact, they can now be found guilty of sexual assault - which is what has happened here
Let's take a look at the background 🧵

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"
