Iโ€™ve gotten so used to these autocorrect failures I donโ€™t even notice them

Even with a system where there is no effective weeding out of people who may not be sincere (using their thinking there,) a system where everyone lies to get through the system, there are a vanishingly small number of people who regret their choices.

Grant us our freedom to choose

Astoundingly so.

The iPhone has always been about the design but they appear to have forgotten that now.

My fave is still the old ones you got with the coloured plastic shells, they where really nice.

Murdo Fraser reported to police over call for 'no more Buddhists' at Rangers MURDO Fraser has been reported to the police after calling for โ€œno more Buddhistsโ€ as Rangers manager ...

Murdo is a joke of a politician embedded within the larger joke of the Scottish Tory party

Ok not everyone but enough* cis people involved in trans healthcare are there simply to wield power in a poorly regulated sector of healthcare.

*for โ€˜enoughโ€™ read โ€˜most.โ€™

Point.

And it serves no one other than them, them and their desire to have control over our bodies.

I think you where wrong to think that people involved in trans healthcare had good intentions, i think many of them see a poorly regulated sector of healthcare they can have a fiefdom in.

Gics treat us with contempt and always have. We are subhuman to them.

Itโ€™s never been about trust, no one i know has ever trusted a gic. We coach each other to lie effectively to them. We treat them with suspicion and contempt and they return the favour

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Billy is pretty solid but the flag thing is deeply silly and wrong, born from the flag waving tribalism of football and the imagined brotherhood of the terraces

Yea, heโ€™s ok but on a hiding to nothing over this flag thing.

As Iโ€™ve gotten older Iโ€™ve realised how important it is to listen, to not rest on your laurels

Granted, billy is older than i am but he needs to engage with what people are saying to him

I really donโ€™t think heโ€™s โ€˜leaving the left.โ€™ Thatโ€™s a very silly way of viewing this.

It is encouraging to see that even some in the Tory party do nit want this hate

And you canโ€™t see the difference between the Scottish or Welsh flags and English flags

Non white folks: no it wonโ€™t

You: hey, thatโ€™s your opinion.
