On International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I joined colleagues from #EastLothianCouncil to hear about local efforts to put children and young people’s voices at the heart of our response to domestic violence. This campaign is a good example of why this is so necessary 👇
The High Court has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the name of the man who raped her mother.
Women and children harmed by sexual violence need protection, not more harm.
We’re nearly halfway to our target to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights:

The law has failed a woman and her child – fight back
No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.

Oh, look. Science showing that gender affirming care dramatically reduces suicidality in trans kids. Listen to children! And scientists!
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Public service announcement. It has come to my attention that some outlets are listing The Bastard Throne as coming out in July. This is news to me, since I am still writing it! 2025 has been (appropriately) an absolute bastard (both health & financial) and I’m not as far as I wanted to be. 1/2

So they could have done this at any time, and chose not to? Why now? Cui bono?

It shows clear intent that they believe anti-trans campaigning should be rewarded and celebrated.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Look, I know it’s not exactly the same, but does anyone else get “Nazi gold” vibes from the new Labour policy of frisking asylum seekers for valuables? It’s so bloody ugly. Just woeful. Inhuman. Like, maybe let the desperate people fleeing war keep their wedding rings? Jesus wept.

I feel slightly unclean for having to point out that the words ‘ancestors’ and ‘descendants’ do not mean the same thing. And yet, I keep seeing the former when people mean the latter. This will not be another ‘literally’, damn you! <shakes fist>

Hard to know where to begin when the headline is “Labour to frisk the pockets of asylum seekers and throw them out as soon as possible”. What on earth have that party become? Utterly shameful. A total failure to address the misdirecting rhetoric that led us here. Too cowardly to be fit to govern.

The moment when Tommy Robinson says “well done” should be the moment any human being with an ounce of moral fibre looks hard in the mirror and says “I’ve fucked up.”
