Hi Alister, maybe I gave the wrong impression. I have no probs with LGBT+ Charter. It’s the transinclusion statement that worries me. A man is not a woman. Put on a dress, wig, still not a woman. Treat with respect, of course, as you would anyone. But don’t betray women’s rights for male fantasy.

Does this make me a terf? I regard myself as an LGBT+ ally, but sex is sex and is fixed and a biological and medical fact, whereas gender (& gender-id) is fluid and not, I believe, a biological or medical fact. So, wish me luck….3/3

No problem with the charter - except that it’s a bit verbose. But I’m losing patience with the full scale rush to provide transwomen with more rights than women. We adult human females have a right to safe spaces. And my union should respect that @ucu.org.uk @oubucu.bsky.social 2/3

Putting my head above the parapet at union meeting this lunchtime. There is a motion proposing to commit @oubucu.bsky.social to signing the @ucu.org.uk LGBT+ charter & transinclusion statement. I’m proposing an amendment that we don’t ….1/3

Night sky showing Jupiter and Mars
Cold and clear night. View from the back door. Orion, Jupiter, Mars, Castor & Pollux in all their glories. Pleiades also visible. Love the night sky!

The 2024 CHRISTMAS LECTURES
Dr Chris van Tulleken reveals the revolutionary science inside our bodies when we eat.
just watched first @ri-science.bsky.social #XmasLectures with my 9-year old grandson. Brilliant: Dr Chris Van Tulleken (@DrChrisVT) & the 7m journey that food takes from eating to pooing. best bit for grandson was the giant fart, tho’ I was taken with the poo machine!

Hope you are using short grain rice. Knob of butter and sprinkle of nutmeg to get a proper skin. No need for jam or any other fancy additions. Cannot believe you would pressure cook a rice pudding.

Miserable day, made better by a mug of coffee, my cat on my knee and @privateeyenews.bsky.social crossword. Simple pleasures 😊

When Twitter first started, my younger sister Helen was the first person I followed. And she’s the first person I’ve followed here. Well done @helenjane.bsky.social for leading the way 🥰
