Working from home is 90% trying to ignore my dog's 'take me for a walk' eyes, and 10% walking the dog.

An important takeaway – the High Court has made clear that the Code of Practice has gotten the law wrong. It will need to be rejected by the Minister.
The High Court has ruled on our challenge to the EHRC’s interim guidance.
The judgment contains some good news for trans rights – but plenty of bad.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Invading neighbouring countries, tick. Trying to control the media, tick. Oppressing minorities, tick. Ruling by violence and fear, tick. My 'how close are the USA to 1930s Germany' bingo card is pretty much complete.

Pretty devastated to see the WI have followed on from the Guides. Both of these institutions have been trailblazers and vital pillars of rural life when I was growing up.

Today is a day to remember, to learn and to celebrate all those whose lives have been touched by AIDS. The trans community has been heavily effected by this illness over the years and at NCTH, we especially remember the trans people we have lost to this illness. x

So if you don't look cis enough, you get kicked out of the toilet. That is basically how these new guidelines will work?

My brother works at Heathrow. As I have the Flight Radar app on my phone I have offered him my services. (I think a bunch of swear words will be heading back to me, but sibling rivalry does not stop just because he is having a bad day!)

Interesting debate at Queer Britain last night about the similarities and differences between transphobia and homophobia. Was somewhat de-railed by gender critical people wanting to debate biology but I'm used to that!
