On a side note, of which there are many currently, I remember when the then PM, Theresa May, was asked about the CSA files that had been collected on MPs. She said that they had been lost and were missing. And all people did was shrug and accept it. And that was the end of that.

The festive season is best when everyone feels welcome, but we don’t all celebrate it in the same way.

Small changes can make a big difference for people with learning disabilities, disabled people, autistic and neurodivergent people.

Witness History - Rosalind Franklin: DNA pioneer - BBC Sounds The scientist produced an X-ray photograph in 1952, that helped show the structure of DNA

Today seems like a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), whose pioneering work in X-Ray diffraction led to the discovery of the structure of DNA – but only after one of her photos was stolen and shown to the men who would later win a Nobel Prize for the discovery (without citing her).

Also important to reflect on which groups & individual CYP might benefit from #accessarrangements, eg a quiet room, reader, scribe, movement breaks, comfy clothes, extra time, fidget items, laptop, standing desk, SEMH support …

They do seem to be increasingly chasing the right-moving Overton Window of late.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening β€œclear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Completely agree. My take is a strange one in that, if they can weaponise the definition of a woman to cancel the conference, then surely, the definition of man should be played out using the same decisions. Misogyny plays differently for trans men and women.

I mean they do know this ruling applies to men too right?

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
