I confess I only know HL from her profile info. I was interested in her post and the replies - e.g. why are Drs who discuss body dysmorphia under the same transphobic banner as MAGA fundamentalists who are anti anything that’s not straight, white and male. There seems no nuance in X and BSky debates

Ah, case in point. Transphobia is used as an all encompassing blanket, shutdown invective on both X and BSky, but its parameters are never defined.

Where is the line in the sand when people want to discuss this?

Yes, but the chasm maybe too wide? Their principles are diametrically opposed -sex vs gender- both purport to protect the vulnerable. Their supporters are particularly fierce in defence. It’s a minefield on social media. Even ambivalent comments attract angry replies, no neutrality allowed it seems

Defamation, I think. It seems to be about their interactions over on twitter/x from what I can gather

I suspect that the already well-to-do financial advisors and fund managers will make a fortune guiding their clients towards a more tax-friendly pathway.

I inadvertently tagged hashtag *cruising* after posting a photo of my dog splashing around in the bay. Not the best idea 🙄

I’ve just deleted an earlier post about 7.30 last night on ABC because I incorrectly referred to Bandt instead of Littleproud, 🙄unfortunately it was reposted and sits somewhere on Bluesky no doubt receiving comments correcting me.

Sorry about that.
