43% of the population is now neurodivergent.

You want athletes with male DSDs, XY not XX chromosomes, testes not ovaries, testosterone in the male not female range & androgen sensitivity to compete in female sport?
Female athletes do not.
They overwhelmingly support 2026 IOC Policy.
Here's what happened previously:

Making Tax Digital is a big additional burden on small businesses

Here are some better tax changes:

Shut down the overseas territory tax havens
Abolish secret trusts where the rich hide their wealth from tax

HMRC should focus on the wealthy and those who use offshore not working people

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

A view I’ve long dreamed of. From Ryūganbuchi in Shizuoka Prefecture, gazing at Mount Fuji 🗻🌸 The cherry blossoms in full bloom and the majestic mountain together created a truly breathtaking scene.

Hadaway and shite! April fools day is alive and kicking - what's this bollocks about it being caramelised?

The owl is a messenger of the intermediate worlds, a teacher of that quiet truth that darkness is not only a threat, but a space of growth, healing, and deep understanding.

A rather foolish message from someone whose posts I usually appreciate. I'm a boomer, lifelong socialist, went on 4 marches against Brexit, fought the massively destructive privatisation of the 80s. Crass generalisations like this are really unhelpful

Update from the land of the free:

When Steve Reichs music first appeared in the 80s I was seduced. It wears badly, now appearing clever but ultimately devoid of soul mechanistic and formulaic.

You used the best elements well and your music remains always soulful and heartfelt.

Well Done America! This was Boise, Idaho, today.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and also the best guarantee we can hold free and fair elections this November. Today, it was shining brightly. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Bless everyone out there marching for NO KINGS DAY!

No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings

I've been studying this issue for 10+ years since an athlete friend drew my attention; she was worried about a growing sense of unfairness for women. Then I was open to including on the basis of identity, but have now completely changed, on the basis of research and women's voices, often squashed.

Ironic that those who say they uphold traditional British values, such as fair play, are doing precisely the opposite: bad losers and stacks of money from dodgy crypto chums. Cheating cads, what!

Sex and gender are different.

Biology is real, so is culture and identity.

They are distinct forms of knowing.

Overwhelming scientific evidence that male puberty confers irreversible advantages.

Female athletes overwhelmingly support fairness.
