This dog knows her humans are here only to satisfy her every desire.

"the Bad Faith Threshold" is a great coinage.

The first wave of comments on a post, from those who do actually follow you, is usually interesting or fun or both.

But the later waves are of scolds, humourless reply-guys, "sorry to be pedantics", "whatabouts", and "why are you insulting".

I had my initial appointment last year. Still waiting for my diagnostic appointment: I had a vaginoplasty in Thailand in February.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

Thanks! Barista said she loved my outfit too.

(I'm hoping I sort more storage soon -- I can't currently get to my winter clothes and the weather is turning.)

Only 231 pages of papers to read this time!

Welcome to another week of #MathCoffeeSelfie. What have you been up to??

A selfie of me in a pub this more. I'm wearing a green top with black lace trim and a black skirt and black wrap. I have makeup on.

A photo of a just opened furniture flat pack. You can see me kneeling at the edge of the shot wearing a black skirt.

This morning was the local pride group's monthly social. This afternoon I was putting cheap flat pack furniture together so that we have somewhere for clothes.

I am now very tired. This evening will be spent reading university senate papers for the senate on Wednesday.

Got to admit, telling 40 million users who already stopped posting on another site "what you going to do, stop posting?" is a brave move, let's see how that works out

A selfie of me sitting at home wearing a blue corset with gold brocade.

New corset (via Vinted) -- helping to offset my desire to become a recluse: electrolysis next week means I have a lot of stubble.

I do not choose to be political. My existence is deemed political by others.

given the current rate of clearance, it's going to be another year or two sadly 😢

(fair hair is very fine and dense, so takes longer to clear)

i'm very happy with the corset find though!

Mone was neither a director nor shareholder of that company but she was, from this judgment, its champion lobbyist. At a critical stage, according to the judgment, the PPE Medro negotiator “engaged his ‘big gun’ – contacting Baroness Mone who then took up the fight on behalf of Medpro direct with […] the Cabinet Office threatening further escalation.” Mone sent an email to the Cabinet Office (which indicates the input of lawyers) insisting a contract had already somehow been entered into. She wrote “the committee sign off, the finance sign off, the verbal conversations on the urgency of goods and the signed returned contract, all constitutes a contract, with a legal and moral obligation on [the Department of Health and Social Care]”. But this was not correct of law or fact. The matter was still entirely subject to contract. The supplier may well have been incurring costs in anticipation of a contract, but at this stage this was at their own risk. In that email, however, a parliamentarian was falsely stating to the government that a high-value contract was already in place and that the government was thereby obliged to purchase the goods. In fact, the final price had not even been determined. There had not even been a best or final offer.

Why the government was right to take PPE Medpro to court

The state should enforce its contractual rights against suppliers more often

1/🧵 Fascinating, after 8 months of pretending that the costs of collecting correspondence between Hilary Cass, Sajid Javid, Gila Sacks, and colleagues would exceed the limit, they invoked the formidable FOIA s14, which has virtually no chance of being upheld.

Hey, they have something to hide.

ha! reading comprehension clearly not my strong point...

(it's set just after the second world war)

I’m actually replying/reposting on the day this was posted!

In a coffee shop starting a book by one of my favourite sapphic authors. (Book apparently not sapphic. 😔)

Also been listening to an audiobook of Carmilla for discussion at my local queer book club.

You always look so good — I’m envious! 😍

Question for my cis women followers: Thinking back on a post from this morning, would you chose not to wear something because you'd be afraid it would be judged to be too young for you?

An image of Sian's letter to the Minister for Women and Equalities. You can read the full text of her letter at: https://www.sianberry.org.uk/publications/letter-regarding-statutory-guidance-from-the-equality-human-rights-commission/

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.
