Dr Attercop

Thank you for saying that! That is why my mother's family claimed asylum in the UK (many decades ago) rather than anywhere else, so it's very annoying when they don't even mention it. It erases refugees' real lives and personal stories.

Ha ha! The difference there is that women actually *did* fight for the right to vote. "Women" was already a perfectly ordinary word in general usage when the suffragetts were using it, and no one had to fight for it!

Congratulations! And yes, the idea that "people" and "women" are mutually exclusive categories is the most ridiculous nonsense and the idea that anything thinks it passes for feminism is bizarre.

No one who thinks that it is offensive to think of women as people needs to be taken seriously.

Women have not "fought hard" to be labelled as women! Other people have labelled me as a woman ever since I hit adulthood. It's not exactly been a struggle! When I was pregnant, I was a pregnant woman AND I was a pregnant person. Because women are people!

A woman with CAIS is not "on a pathway" to producing large gametes- she will have testes, not ovaries.

Don't let @patricknessbooks.bsky.social walk it.

I emailed Juliet Campbell (Lab) and she did not reply. She's known for ignoring emails, so this isn't a surprise. I'm going to try posting letters instead.

Really enjoyed this interview! It was interesting to hear about @juliansimpson.bsky.social's move from TV that I have no interest in to audio dramas that I absolutely CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF. When he pulled The Hermit card, all became clear - creative people need freedom to produce the good stuff!

The question remains - why would a Reform voter switch to Labour if Labour offer nothing except agreement with Farage? Why vote for the whisper if you can vote for the shout?

Was lovely to hear about your badges in Beeston! You gently touched a few of my sore spots which lead to a few tears. But I know better than to apologise, of course!

I didn't see your posts, but you are right, and I don't really understand why that would be controversial. You are such a tremendous warrior for your community and the work you're doing is wonderful. I'm sorry you had a hard time for this unfairly.

Ha ha, "the first 30 minutes of Bound" was a frequent opener for conversation in my university LGBT society in the late 90s!

I said actors had to kiss people they didn't fancy a lot, so prob wasn't a big deal, and ACTUALLY "aren't we all a bit bisexual?" (I KNOW I'M SORRY) to which they were clear that they were at least 99.9% straight, and I said, hmmm, I think maybe I am 60/40 to which there was a lot of "oh. right. 😳"

IKR? This was the 90s, so there really wasn't a lot of sapphic kissing to be seen if you weren't recording late night Channel 4. I remember them talking about how GROSS it was that an actor might have to do a gay kiss, much giggling etc.

Watching that film is how I came out to my sixth form friends! They were all going EWWWW at the girls kissing, and that started a conversation...

🥰

This sucks! Why are marriages still gendered by law anyway? I can't see any reason why the law would need to categorise spouses as either wives or husbands.

I have just found this on YouTube (with subtitles) and I am EXCITED. 🛸

A statement from Notts Pride You may have seen recent announcements from other Pride organisations choosing to exclude political parties from their events. We can confirm that Notts Pride will be taking the same position. We hope this sends a clear message that many of our Notts LGBTQ+ community feel let down. We hope that this decision gives rise to serious reflection and a renewed commitment to shaving when every member of our community, every day of the year.

Nottingham Pride has followed suit and banned political parties. 🏳️‍⚧️ www.facebook.com/share/p/1AkE...

Oh no, he's holding out for Starmer's job. 🤢

Please stand up against racism in your own party, not just in the stadium! It's no good showing racism the red card in football when the government is calling immigrants "strangers" who do "incalculable damage" to the country. 😔

I would really appreciate it if @julietcampbellmp.bsky.social would attend this, too.

Absolutely didn't need editing. It's brilliant.

Thank you for reminding me of it!
