The Peggie ET made it clear that spouting off about chromosomes/ TW in prison is harassment. The 1st 2 years I was at the OU some colleagues did *just that* almost every day on the staff forum + I was told officially that they were allowed to because of academic freedom/some other cowardly BS. 1/

Dark Eldar Starmer: I welcome She Who Thirsts but I think we should go further, becoming truly wanton and cruel in our lust for violence and sadism
I hate when my culture's endless depravity tears a hole in spacetime and births a god of excess which hungers for our souls

The film aired in 1991 so I was probably about 7. Don’t show your 7-year olds films about infamous historical shark attacks. They’ll become animal historians.

Kawashima, whose Mandarin name is Jin Bihui (Radiant Jade), says she once had "ambitions to restore the old Chinese Empire," but is now content to live as a man in Japan. At some point she clearly changes her mind, since her life takes several dramatic changes. 2/4

Love it when academics who can't/won't follow simple processes talk down to me and my student support colleagues when things go wrong (i.e. they fuck up).

This documentary revisited the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak and ensuing animal cull in Wales, and its impact on the country’s farmers, in part through the prism of the recent COVID pandemic.

It was always gonna end up devolving into “the transgender issue” being is it okay to assault trannies and do they deserve basic safety innit
To reiterate;
This is how the Guardian describes a tweet that advocates assaulting trans women;
“Posts on transgender issues”

Deliberately misgenderng children is abuse. Abuse causes a 64% likelihood of poor mental health into adulthood. If schools, parents & the Streeting/Starmer conversion therapy centres for trans kids do it they are deliberately harming children, harm that will continue throughout their lives.

I have been saying this for years. The qualitative evidence has long pointed towards trans women and AMAB non-binary people coming out later in life - on average - than other trans people.
Every bit of moral panic about trans boys coming out young also betrays a deep transmisogyny.

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity.

One thing that's striking about Ozzy Osborne's death is how difficult it is to imagine the music industry producing another figure like him. The barriers to working class people are so great, and there's a related attitude to culture that is neutered as a result.
