My biological sex is female. It has changed

Phenotype is orders of magnitude more important than genotype for everything from discrimination to healthcare to sexuality

Chromosomes are meaningless and any law treating them as all sex is is wrong

‘You’re out there getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees’ This song was also used as the theme for the short lived but really good TV series ‘John From Cincinatti’ (2007)

Very saddened to hear that Max Romeo died yesterday aged 80 years old.

Max had been singing and recording for nearly 60 years. Here's one of many favourites in my collection. A beautiful praise song from 1973...

RIP Max 🙏

Cloud-puffball, torn tufts, tossed pillows | flaunt forth, then chevy on an air-
Built thoroughfare: heaven-roysterers, in gay-gangs | they throng; they glitter in marches
