Sending all the love xxx

The increasingly online nature of porn, hook-ups & sex-buying have made it easier than ever before for men to cultivate secret lives. It’s occurred to me that these factors also make it easier for men’s secrets to be *discovered*. Often all it requires is access to their phones.

Government confirms Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson as the next EHRC chair Minister for Women and Equalities Bridget Phillipson has confirmed that Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson will be appointed as the new Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson has been confirmed as the next Chair of the EHRC. This is an excellent appointment. Dr Stephenson's significant experience and leadership in equality and human rights is *exactly* what the EHRC needs right now @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/n...

Yes thank you

That is categorically untrue and I wasn’t tongue in cheek

The sneering dismissal of “fictional trans rapists” (males) and caring about incarcerated women demonstrates how - for all his performative reading- Ince excludes traumatising accounts from the survivors of these very *non-fictional* events.

My most controversial music opinion is that Noel Gallagher is a weirdly underrated song-writer, subjected to a level of snobbery, suspicion and nit-picking that isn’t applied to most of the other great British song-writers.

Absolutely right. Even simple things like calling it Cigarettes and Alcohol, not any other combination- because that rhythm and choice of words (not booze, fags, cigs, beer, drinks, smokes, tabs, shots, wine, spirits, tokes, rollies, lines) completely works.

What, because George doesn’t adhere to stereotypes of femininity? What is this- the fifties?

Felt the same with- “add salt to taste”. Thought- I can manage fine without adding it thanks. That was LAST YEAR (I’m 54)

When I was a kid I thought when you checked luggage in for a flight it went all the way to the destination on a conveyor belt

My sister thought bats were fictional until we pointed some out to her flying near her balcony. She was in her mid-twenties.

Have you worked out Sledgehammer…

This is funny- I put it up and now have read a load of other people did too!

Didn't realise until about five years ago that the different colour of bell peppers was just about how long they'd been on the plant. So it's green for disgusting, yellow for disgusting and red for disgusting.

Ah but from similar episode that Kaisar and Tzar and Caesar have the same root

Fortnight being fourteen nights. And only because in French it’s “Quinze jours” and I thought- I wonder why they say 15 when for us it’s 14 oh

Xxxxxxxx

I've watched exactly what she said (it's at around 1 hr 21 in the video) and you're distorting her point. NC is talking about whether the ruling removes all benefits of obtaining a GRC from the specific perspective of access to SS spaces, not commenting on people's motivations for transitioning

Exactly this. @peterwalker99.bsky.social is attempting to justify a poorly researched, prejudiced piece when it’s already been taken apart line by line- and why he didn’t get on the phone first thing about that headline baffles me.

Nearly 9pm. Time for my 14 year old’s 7th meal of the day.

RBW has the same understanding of the law as an undergraduate, as has just been brilliantly demonstrated on R4.

Remember two women a week killed by males?

Remember that hyperbole I was talking about??

Just like you disagree with the Supreme Court judgement, maybe I disagree with that auxiliary opinion.

Hate to break it to you, but it’s already been won.

I’m ignoring you now. You’re either brain damaged or on glue.

The law has not changed. This isn’t hard. It has been misrepresented for years by Stonewall.

You are wrong. The opening paragraph for starters is utter bullshit.
