Yes! Biological reductionism is the antithesis of feminism.
The idea that biology=destiny is the foundation of patriarchy: that women must submit, men must dominate, and everyone must perform traditional roles.
Feminism is the struggle against that. Liberation for women is freedom for everyone.

Hexagons feel more attractive than squares, but I wonder which tessellating pattern balances the needs of the city’s inhabitants best?

France is good at that. Companies bigger than 50 people must have a workers’ council, so there are a lot of companies with 49 employees.
But the solar parking lot law does actually work.

At least trans people got a night off.

I saw this as deeply ironic and self-deprecating and liked the post.
Finnster is great, such as how they are involved in setting up Anne Health.
All her detractors can go f themselves.

Bbc article comparing different response from Zack Polanski to Nigel Farage to the attack on the ambulances.

And this is an exact reminder of why we must stand against both Antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The cynical forces who seek to divide our communities must never win.

We will stand together.

No former council house should ever be privately rented.

DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE USA

Happy International Women’s Day to all the trans girls out there. 🌸
And to all types of woman, big and small, old and young.

I think that I might be a little bit in love with Hannah the Plumber. Or maybe I’m in awe.

Although in my case, the two things overlap completely.

Starmer equating the Greens and Reform as “extremes of left and right” sounds like the hammering of coffin nails into his career and Labour’s prospects. An unserious man.

Two cardinal rules of mechanics:
A) use lots of lube
B) if it doesn’t go in easily, you’re probably doing it wrong.

Tories: Retired
Lib Dems: Rejoin
Your Party: Rejects
Greens: Recycle

"1) Does the EHRC hold minutes for meetings with any trans-led or trans- focused groups (excluding general LGBTQI+ groups) in the last 5 years. For clarity, these could include but are not limited to: - TransActual - Translucent/Steph's Place - Scottish Trans - Trans legal project - Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective - Trans Safety Network - Trans Solidarity Alliance - Trans Resistance Network - Trans Exile Network If so, could you a) break down how many sets of minutes were recorded per year. (Here 1 "set of minutes" means "minutes for 1 meeting") And b) name which trans-led or trans-focused organisation these are with." This request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Response Following a search of our records, we have determined that the information you have requested is not held by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. While the Commission regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including trans-led and trans-focussed civil society organisations where relevant to our work, we do not hold any formal minutes of meetings with the organisations listed in your request within the timeframe specified.

FOI reveals the EHRC holds zero minutes of meetings with trans-led organisations in the past 5 years.

This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator.

Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.

I hope that you’re right that the trend is downwards. but it misses the point. Farage has worked out that under FPTP any lead will give him power, and he’s concentrating on solidifying his base. He won’t go much lower than he is, and the other parties won’t get much higher. He’s winning.

Don’t blame the ADHD people for not supporting. They wanted to but got distracted.

I’ve also desisted on the basis that I don’t do things that I don’t want done to me. Couldn’t resist this one though.

I should be ashamed of myself for posting this or even thinking it, but when I see this picture my brain starts transvestigating. She passes quite well for someone who hasn’t gone to Facial Team yet.

It’s a nice Farage of pointing out problems without having to present solutions. At some point it will wear very thin. Please start working towards a new phase with some real policies.

She had to do that after the GMC suspended her licence, although part of what they got her on was her record-keeping. They are patient-lead, so if you know what you want and are well enough, it works OK. I can see it working less well for complex cases and if you’re less strong, or can’t afford it.

She’s 100% right to do this. Thank you Dr W.

This is some funked up shit. Just nasty.

Dr Beth Upton went to work one day to help sick people, and that is it. She's done nothing wrong (highlighted by the courts), never got involved in the media, never said a bad word about anyone, even once. And she's been hounded out of the country by bigots who hate that she exists.
