I’m so proud and so immensely privileged to have played a small part in getting breastfeeding friendly status for Waterford. We have a #Waterfordwall by Zabou! But more importantly it’s now law for parents to have bf breaks up to 104 weeks #Waterford #Nationalbreastfeedingweek

The bit in Graham Linehan's latest interview where he says that trans people "produce no art," and that there are no great trans films, music or books is very, very dangerous rhetoric, and it shouldn't be laughed off.

That's classic dehumanisation of a minority.
