Ah, but whilst making the Torment Nexus (from the novel Don't Make The Torment Nexus) they have provided the source code so everyone else can make their own Torment Nexus, thus democratising the apocalypse.

Also they corrected it to alter the line re: "a controversial view about trans people" 🤨

Ooh, teeth as ancient cutaneous otoliths. No, it's still weird.

P.S. If you have any doubts as to how the BMJ has handled trans issues: here's the latest piece, undermining an elected BMA committee and creating the sense of a backlash by citing Sex Matters, CANSG and 'Biology in Medicine'. 5/

The BMJ may have editorial independence from the BMA, but we can vote with our feet.

By opting out of receiving the BMJ, you can:
🌍 Reduce your carbon footprint,
🏳️‍⚧️ Show support for trans colleagues,
⛔ Avoid silently supporting anti-LGBT lobby groups. 3/

In recent years, BMJ coverage of trans issues has been increasingly problematic. LGBTQ medical orgs such as GLADD and PRiSM have called out biased coverage. The BMJ have repeatedly quoted and cited anti-trans lobbies and hate groups. 2/

This is a scary time for trans people, but it may also become a time of controversy and reputational damage for businesses who actively decide that they will support the modern equivalent of apartheid. 7/

Also, to what extent will society suffer the modern equivalent of "Whites Only" signs over toilets? How many of such spaces will end up the subject of protests, occupations, removal of signage, and citizen-led deconsecration of their "cisgender-only" status? 6/

One also has to wonder how any "cisgender-only" toilets will be policed - will there be staff on the door, ID checks, inspections? Will we all need to carry ID to pee in public? 5/

If some providers put in place signs and policies deliberately excluding trans people then complaints may well arise, and business may end up going elsewhere. 4/

It looks like currently, providers have the choice to instead provide toilets which are not policed as single sex, and let everyone decide which one is appropriate to use. These can be single occupancy and thus support privacy and dignity. Which is basically how things have been already. 3/

If they do, the knock-on effect is that mums can't take their little boys to the loo, nor can dads take their little girls. Also, anyone not adhering to gender stereotypes may also find their access limited by challenges from staff and members of the public. 2/
