I'd like to respond as a UCU member. I'm reading the review which seems rigorously researched, driven by compassion for children who have been badly served, but also for adults who have transitioned & are living well - and for detransitioners. But am blocked from this account.

Proud parent moment

Since nobody else is going to say it, I’ll bite.
As a woman in tech, I don’t want to be working in a professional working environment where T-shirts like this are allowed. There’s no women in this room at all.
Spaces where women are welcome are being reduced so much, it’s hard…

Petroc is spoiling us this morning. Wonderful start to the day

We are growing used to these staggering #Gaza fatalities. 50 more #Palestinians killed sheltering in schools today by Israel Defense Forces. We can't become numb to this horror. We can not, we must not, ever look away from the immense suffering.

End of.

She was killed, alongside her husband and six month old baby. A heartbreaking and senseless loss of life.

Dima loved Scotland and many people in Scotland loved Dima.

This cannot go on. Ceasefire now.

That would be Sultan Al Jaber, head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.

So many of the responses to this harrowing post are as vile as the inhumanity shown to the victims of 7th Oct. So much denial of pain and suffering in this conflict. So many monstrous people out there.
