If there is any Doctor Who news today, I hope it will be scheduled for 5:15pm and then get delayed by news of the American president being assassinated - After all, it's how it all started.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.
