I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

It's incredibly depressing and enraging that this needs restating, but trans rights are human rights. And fuck anyone who decides otherwise.

I have unanimously decided they can get fucked.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.

The rollback of LGBT rights β€” especially trans rights β€” is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.

Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

Grade 3 underneath and longer on top makes such a difference to versatility and ease of styling doesn’t it?

Agree with your comments on ponytail still working well (though short would probably look good too)

This must be what watching the horror of Henry the Eighth smashing up the monasteries was like. Breaking up the institutions, disposing of the assets. Seizing of the wealth, and branding people for vagrancy comes next right?

USA - You do realise you have enabled an absolute monarch right now?

I think it’s important to remember that β€œDEI” is not a word. It’s an acronym.

So the next time you find someone complaining about DEI, ask them whether it’s Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion they have a problem with. Or all three.

Put the meaning behind the letters.

Grrr, indeed it is tiresome

Telling marginalised and/or vulnerable people to β€œbe friends” with people who want to erase their very existence is… messed up doesn’t begin to cover it, and you’re not an ally.

Sunday evening musings, inspired by my watch of Fellowship of the Ring last night. Everyone knows that the timeline in the film is condensed compared to the books - but is it really as much as is generally thought? I don't think so. 1/23 (Yes, really. What am I doing..?)

I once gave a talk at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge

"How many of you get around by bicycle?" I asked. A lot of hands went up

"How many of you started cycling only when you moved to Cambridge?" Most hands remained up

ASL is a whole actual fucking language, friends. With nuance and depth and a whole cultural community. Don't tolerate this attack.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and seasons greetings!

No snow over here, do you have snow?

Love the pictures, sounds amazing! Very different from the chilly weather over here. Hope you didn’t get too sunburnt!

Chilly with blue skies this morning which seems appropriate. How is Portugal?

Glad you enjoyed it, do you recommend? I am a little put off by the one near me being way too early for that level of energy. (Unless I drove there, which seems like cheating)
