None of those newspapers (or the BBC) that gleefully ran stories when the EHRC gave trans people a shoeing will now report on the EHRC admitting they (and hence those stories) were wrong. Are those outlets craven - or dishonest?

Start asking people what a fundamental component of being a man or a woman is; something that without it you cannot be a man or a woman, and they will flounder. All answers except for 'how someone identifies' will exclude some cis people.

Finding houses to buy is so maddening. If it's not a lack of deposit making it hard to raise money for houses in your local area, it's this weird trend of everything being a 'Modern Auction' with extra fees out the wazoo. It's incredibly depressing.

Most money spent on trans healthcare is spent on gatekeeping and not on the actual treatment.
you should absolutely be appalled!
not that trans people exist and deserve autonomy
But that the NHS is wasting YOUR MONEY in being an obstacle to that for absolutely no discernable benefit to anyone at all.

Donald Trump just seems to have no concept of the consequences of actions. He criticises Zelenskyy for the state of Ukraine after three years, without understanding the consequences on the Ukrainian people, and wider Europe, of surrendering to Russia. No foresight or insight, just reactions.
