Well at the gym I was next to a shaved at the sides, purple haired person in a football top today. And there was never any doubt that she was anything other than a butch les.Well I've been within "touching" distance of one today! The same one I've seen a few times around our area but today he was next to me at the self-scan in our local Tesco.Six foot tall, over 50 years old, had ditched his usual thick black (winter) tights for sheer red ones (well it is summer), still wearing his signature style flowery knee length dress (all the better to show off his legs), long grey hair in a ponytail...complimented by his receding hairline. Big nose, big jaw, no make up (no effort!).
Hope that's my one and only encounter of the close kind!

I’ve had one of those Change.org petitions today. I don’t want to trigger anyone as it’s a sensitive issue but the subject is pregnancy related. This is how it describes who it’s relevant to.
“Who is affected?
Everyone with a womb - especially women, nonbinary people, and trans men - are at risk.”
ESPECIALLY women? FFS only women can get pregnant. If you want to transition yet still want to get pregnant, surely that’s not living in accordance to your chosen gender and WTAF is non binary anyway other than a sign that you’re a self obsessed tedious twit.
* I’m really pissed off more than usual with this whole issue, what with their threats to scare and terrorise women and their targeting of bunny rescues

I’m afraid my poor dyslexic eyes tend to read ‘aromantic’ as ‘aromatic’.
Facebook comments never let me down.

One for the “minor irritation” tit files today. I’m involved in a project with an all female team and we put out some promotional material which one of my colleagues had written- it described us as an “all-femme” team 
No, I’m NOT. I’m a fifty year old WOMAN FFS, and if I’m anything on your silly appearance-as-identity based spectrum, I’m adrogynous or slightly butch. Just.say.WOMEN you woke doughnut. ‘snot hard!
This colleague is also keen for us to claim queer cred, despite all of the FEMALE team being in long term relationships with men, and our project not having anything remotely rainbow hued about it. You better believe she’s all over pride month
These aren’t bad people. I like them on most levels. But they honestly don’t see anything outside their bubble. They’re young. I have a feeling life will be providing some feedback soon.

I keep reading it that way too.
I'll join you.

Nah, we can tell it's got sausage in it from miles away. That sandwich is fooling precisely no one.Facebook comments never let me down.
Good article in the Telegraph citing a debate about the SC ruling organised by the London School of Economics law school which was attended by Akua Reindorf and Naomi Cunningham. This bit made me laugh:
Asked by an audience member about concerns that the ruling could roll back the rights of trans people, Naomi Cunningham, a barrister and panellist at the debate, said trans people “will have to give way”, adding: “It can’t be helped, I’m afraid.”
Akua Reindorf called out “this huge farce with organisations up and down the country wringing their hands and creating working groups and so on, and people in society worrying that they will have nowhere to go to the toilet”.
They also emphasised that self-id was never permitted and that people had been misled by TRAs into assuming that declaring themselves a member of the opposite ‘gender’ meant that had the same rights and protections as a person with a GRC.

Everytime i hear about the TIMs declaring they're female, the ridiculous genders and pronouns and what apparently a female is, just makes me think of "I'm Sparticus". I'll take my pronoun as The/REAL/Sparticus .
.
Akua Reindorf is also in the Graun today: https://www.archive.is/oldest/https...-to-accept-reduced-rights-after-years-of-lies
It's unfortunate to frame it as "reduced rights", though; these were never rights in the first place.

OMFG!
But Chiara Capraro, the head of gender justice at Amnesty International UK, criticised Ms Reindorf’s comments.Good article in the Telegraph citing a debate about the SC ruling organised by the London School of Economics law school which was attended by Akua Reindorf and Naomi Cunningham.

She said: “The EHRC has the duty to uphold the rights of everyone, including all with protected characteristics. We are concerned that it is failing to do so and is unhelpfully pitting the rights of women and trans people against each other.”
Annnnnd in the left corner, Akua Reindorf KC, expert in discrimination, human rights and employment law, called to the bar in 1999
In the right corner, Chiara Capraro, who has a languages degree, a post grad in water pollution in India and a one year online certificate course in International Human Rights with zero entry requirements.
The sheer arrogance
This guy is the WORST. So sinister. Proper dark triad vibes.
News just in!
It's amazing when you start to really look at the differences between the two sexes. I knew my husband has a massive head, he's a big person all over but even the tiniest dude has a way bigger head than 99% of women.
To paraphrase Mean Girls, their heads are so big because they're full of privilege.

I have no idea what he was trying to say. Are we meant to treat TIMs like the people who believe in flat earth? I was more in awe that his jacket didn't rip with whatever he was attempting to do. Calling @Mismatched Pegs we have another TIM in need for trans hair care rights
She also implies that transpeople with a gender recognition certificate DID have the right to enter opposite-sex single sex spaces, which wasn't so.
ETA - sorry, just seen that a greater mind than mine had also picked up on this.
Thank you, JKR.
