Going for a nice lunch and discovering that my new sun dress had pockets
At times I'm so easily pleased, I'd bought a nice sun dress in the autumn sales, and since I was heading out for a nice lunch today and there was actual sun, I thought I'd wear it, and discovered that, yes, IT HAS POCKETS!

"We become what we boobhold. We shape our boobs, and thereafter our boobs shape us"
I've always thought it makes little or no sense, GCs are the activists in that they are the ones trying to change laws to exclude trans people
>Got called an unsupportive transphobe
Why?
>Because I was being unsupportive
And a transphobe?
> Yeah, just because I wouldn't affirm my child's assumed identity
The UK gender-affirming care "review" is such garbage lol why would a scientific document mention the risk of trans kids' parents being called transphobes
Really quite excellent article from The Examiner, again an example of something I can't imagine being allowed to be published in a UK media outlet today
"So it seems the Cass Review spuriously rejected multiple reports that could have led to a different outcome"

This is horrifying, and not getting nearly as much attention as the "foreign agent" stuff
While the EU has been quick to condemn the controversial “foreign agent” legislation in Georgia, the passage of measures targeting sexual and gender identity has faced less intense criticism.
Georgia’s other Russian-style law is fueling a bitter culture war
Proposed restrictions on LGBTQ+ rights have proven far harder for politicans at home and abroad to unite against than the government’s “foreign agent” bill.
www.politico.euTreat yourself to something "special"?
It was a foregone conclusion when you see that it was in consultation with other transphobic organisations like "World Athletics and the International Cycling Union (UCI)"
Having seen quite a few threads there, I'd love to know what Justine's definition of hate speech is actually
I look at it the other way round, years of having electrified needles stuck in me means a wasp or bee sting holds no fear for me anymore!
Note to self, don't take macro photos of my own skin, it bears a striking similarity to the surface of Europa
A little fren (people don't appreciate how sweet I can bee)
But they seem to think they'll never be in the papers please situation because, well they never really explain that bit
Well, one of the things she didn't like was a joke about Lettuce Truss, imagine not being able to laugh at a joke about her...
Two random paragraphs, yes, that is the very definition of transphobia and anyone can use single sex facilities without documentation. The Torygraph won't be happy until every toilet is run on a "papers please" basis

Another day, another sport banning trans women, and specifically *only* trans women from competing
5.5 blocks (?) a week apparently, enough to put on 50lbs in weight, which is admittedly a lorra lorra cheese
I know the "you may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese" meme, but going to briehab for the love of a gouda cheese seems a bit much
the zionist lady who had to seek treatment for cheese addiction story just bouncing around in my head like the DVD logo screensaver
Ireland, so both (it's our neighbours who are the weird ones). I'd guess he's screwed up dns in some way and it will come back again in 24 hours or so

Robin's take on the new RSE guidance: "I cannot remember reading four short paragraphs and 282 words from the government that contained such misinformation, muddle, and sheer madness so tightly"

translucent.org.ukI'm also EU and both still work (though annoyingly x.com defaults to "For You" rather than "Following" for some Musk reason)
Still have web access here? I wonder is it to do with the switch from twitter.com to x.com, I saw someone else complaining they haven't been able to access the web version today
But for me, the biggest issue is, it's being pushed on twitter by someone who used dog shampoo for several months and didn't notice the happy lab on his bottle of shampoo:

There is another study doing the rounds, purporting to show that gender affirming care does not reduce the risk of suicide to trans people, needless to say, it does nothing of the sort (this is a good demolition of the whole nonsense x.com/DrSebastianB...)
Thankfully someone had tipped me off about getting it prescribed as well, it wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise
OK, by a process of elimination, I'm a Rhombic Dodecahedron, or maybe Power Mommy

Nope, The Mirror, believe it or not:

UK we need to have a chat: "Prince William is the UK's third sexiest man"
(actually, we need to have a chat about this as well: "Cillian Murphy beaten in 'UK's sexiest man' by winner Jeremy Clarkson")
And the next brand that GCs will attempt to bully is going to be, drumroll please, (🥁)

It would appear to be, but they are afraid of the freeze peach brigade so you'd need to bring a private prosecution against her I guess, and then it's down to who has the deepest pockets
Just waiting for a complete GC meltdown after the latest from @uglastefania.bsky.social
JK Rowling's latest trans tweets have exposed her as something truly sinister
Does JK Rowling truly not realise the impact it can have when she tweets these deeply insulting and cruel things about trans people?
metro.co.ukI really enjoyed it as a child as well, and really gave me a great interest in law, so much so that I probably would have gone into law if I hadn't found engineering so intriguing"
