This right here is the lie that so much transphobia is based on. To John Boyne and others: My rights as a cis woman are NOT in conflict with the rights of trans women. My rights don't take 'precedence' over theirs - because *they're not opposed*. Indeed, if anything, our rights are intertwined.

Like many people, I discovered Tom Lehrer in my late teens. Also like many people, I then spent the ensuing years making cassette copies of his albums for others, quoting his songs, and raving about him to anyone who’d listen. RIP Mr Lehrer. Thank you for the music (and most of all: the lyrics).

I hope all comedy writing tutors are going to be using Matt Remick as a new example of a truly great sitcom lead character whose flaw - per all great sitcom lead characters - leads him to make things worse for himself. #TheStudio
