Tom’s right. We would have had a healthier conversation about this as a society had so many people not ignored the fact that this is an important and live democratic issue; their silence helped pave the way for women trying to talk about it to become victimised and marginalised.

What is the business model behind academic journals charging insanely high prices to access single journal articles? Like >$50. Presumably the number they actually sell like this is ~0.

In summary, the ‘medicalising’ Cass Review is asking for evidence that medicalisation is the answer, while the anti-medicalising identity activists KNOW drugs/surgery is the answer for a non-medical condition.

Make sense?

I do like lobster but it’s the most overrated and over-priced of all seafood. Have a mackerel instead.

If you ever see me wearing a suit with a pair of trainers please punch me in the face and show me this tweet when I come round.

No better way for Liverpool to get over that disappointment than to play West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday.

And rusty shit-buckets

And then there were two

I can't believe they've announced international hummus day on the exact same day as international taramasalata day. Just a coincidence? Yeah, right.

He's off

Jack Sonia Sodha Quite a few agreed with me but the more senior women wouldn't even ever post a message in our v small secret WA group. Some have lied about me on television, some have posed with groups that hate women even recently....

Mudryk is useless how did Chelsea pay £85 million for him??

Arsenal are an incredibly lucky team. So many flukey things fall in their favour. Weird.

More evidence of why no organisation should rely on Stonewall for policy advice.

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

This is wishful thinking, if anything it's likely to go in the opposite direction.

Parliamentarians need to be able to discern which organisations they can trust to provide them with factual briefing from those which they can’t. There’s been plenty of evidence of Stonewall spreading harmful misinformation eg on the law so quoting them here was a bad call.
