This guy is a home run hitter. Everyone saw him in The Wire and then in Creed and Black Panther in popcorn stuff, but he also wrecked shop on FNL and Fruitvale Station doing heavy emotional lift and put on performances with such incredible depth at a young age. He's just getting started.

New rules on access to single-sex spaces could pose a significant risk to the mental health of trans and non-binary people, according to 15 of the UK’s most respected mental charities.
Organisations including Samaritans, Mind, Centre for Mental Health and the Royal College of Psychiatrists have written to the equalities minister, Bridget Phillipson, to express their “deep concern” about guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) that is awaiting approval from the government.

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

there's nothing in the supreme court ruling that says you have to exclude trans women from women's spaces or orgs or whatever, so appeasing a billionaire bigot does seem to be what's going on here.

Interestingly I have not noticed that people ask many questions like this of me when I say I'm a nurse. I wonder if this is because people think they know what being a nurse is like (and that it's boring)
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
