Also worth pointing out that her "biological sex" as defined by the EHRC is still female because they say it's the same as sex assigned at birth

"Another morning, another absolutely bananas conversation about trans people, without any trans people involved... I want to see the discussion recentred so that priority is given to things that matter – the life-and-death business of a health service – not lost in some vindictive land of riddles"

Yep. A very enthusiastic but slightly out of it white woman. Our Kashka from Baghdad, however, was a genuine superstar. Made Kate corpse about 3 separate times.

Just fantastic. We were second row so the audience participation bits were terrifying but we managed to avoid being picked on!

Had a work event in Liverpool and now there's major disruption at Liverpool Lime Street. What a terrible shame.

Was Keir Starmer lying through his teeth when he pledged to promote trans rights in 2020, or is he just a spineless coward pushed around by media bullies in 2025?

Someone needs to stop these people. Do right wing morons all get injected with some kind of FoxDie along with those dark blue suits?

16 years ago today I went for a drink with a guy I'd been chatting to online. Worked out alright, I reckon. 🩡

Wild behaviour in Via today. Sat at a table drinking with @badlydrawnroy.bsky.social and @jmrgby.bsky.social and not only do a group of straight people stand at our table, but they order food to it too. Genuinely baffled.

It strikes me that not everyone has read Quentin Crisp on the sex lives of American GIs stationed in London in the Second World War, and that's a shame.

I wish the man who stole my triple shot flat white and made me wait longer for the staff to remake it a very happy shitting yourself because it's a lot stronger than the frothy bullshit you actually ordered xoxo

I'm on an all-day virtual conference about disability inclusion and the Minister of State for Employment, who has Disability Employment in her portfolio was down as attending the keynote.

Funnily enough she's just sent a pre-recorded video. Can't imagine why.

Saw Ginger Johnson in Bradford last night. I was on the end of a row so got collared at one point for audience interaction. Told her my name and she went "Wait. I know you! Are you badlydrawnroy?"

Neither of us knows why she knows this. Fun but wild.

Honestly the amount of times I had to gently parent my own parents about how over-produced the show is was scary.

Is Amanda Holden still on Britain's Got Talent?? Because I hate her so much and I'm already one glass of Sauvy B down. Heckling incoming.

Back in my hometown and my friend has had to cancel our plans tonight so I'm in with my family and they're going to be watching utter shite on the television. Distractions and conversations welcome. Save me, BlueSky.

Very happy about the sun and very happy that these shorts now require a belt or they immediately fall down

I've just put on some shorts that I remember being snug last summer and now I can't wear them without a belt or they fall down.

The sun continues to shine through my annual leave so we went for a big walk today and I took maybe my favourite photo ever of Bailey.
