Realised recently I stopped calling them computer games years ago and been exclusively calling them video games. We've ceded too much ground to the americans, it ends here.

So today marks 7 years HRT for me! Hard to believe this much time has passed. There's certainly been ups and downs but I've never for a moment regretted transitioning

you ever notice that pompous people usually have pompadours? or that bald people are very often bold? that the quick-witted almost always wear a quiff? it’s not a coincidence, it’s keratinative determinism

Good advice. I will add that for me these anxieties have been mentally (and often physically) exhausting to deal with. I can rationalise them away but they have already eaten up a huge chunk of my energy. It's why therapy is important to build resilience and tackle the anxieties at the source.

Thinking about this more, when I do take a leap and assert my intelligence then it can make me feel very embarassed and scared afterwards, afraid I did/said anything wrong and made a fool of myself. Do you relate to that at all?

Thanks for sharing, great story. Ditto on feeling stupid 🙋🏼‍♀️

I feel compelled to agree with you but that would require knowing what op is even saying. Totally incoherent to me.

PM: I would never have appointed Mandelson had I known full Epstein links The PM says a due diligence process was gone through before Lord Mandelson was appointed US ambassador.

This is like Sooty saying he shouldn’t have hired Matthew www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But instead, the very same people giggling, memeing, & eroticizing these horrors will continue to defend patriarchy & vilify feminism. You cannot sincerely care about Epstein & his accomplices' crimes & support patriarchy. It's "virtue signaling" & entertainment.

Power is relative. The "powerful elite" can be members of your local church. Boosters & coaches for your local team. Frat houses. If we listened to girls long ago instead of men & how they choose to frame sexual abuse as individualized, anomalies, we wouldn't keep being shocked.

Feminists have been talking about the scale of men's sexual violence, particularly towards kids, for ages only to be dismissed as hyperbolic or dishonest. We see how many - across politics, industries, etc - & yet it seems the lesson will be about power, not patriarchy.

Men: these are aberrations. Boogeymen. Rarities.

Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban This paper presents an analysis of data from trans children and young people and their parents following the imposition of a UK-wide ban on puberty blockers for this group. The consequences of this...

Wes Streeting calls his harmful and dangerous Conversion Therapy approach to banning lifesaving treatments for trans kids “holistic”.

It is about as holistic as giving someone counseling for diabetes instead of insulin. He is deliberately harming trans kids.

He disgusts me.

legitimately getting embarrassing that the overemphasis on a false "sex/gender distinction" rather than "sex is the gendering of the body" means that conservatives keep trying to gotcha liberals with "sex as biological reality" and the latter can only make incredibly weak counterarguments
