Unbelievable - the man who lied about Hillsbrough and to this day the Sun not stocked in Liverpool

The pain and hurt that man has caused with the lies he printed about Hillsborough should have been the end of him.
Robbie Gibb should resign for this error of judgment. I’m not joking

Absolute filth.

You're confused. Sports aren't separated into gender categories, they're separated by sex. Gendered sports *would* be a joke, but biological sex categories allow for fair competition because sex does affect sports performance.

You keep saying it if you like, repetition won't make it true.

We'll miss you, but if it does you good, no need to hurry back. I've enjoyed your contributions and will think of you whenever I receive a dubious cup of tea!

what a dramatic picture. I wouldn't presume to intrude on her territory, looks formidable.

I know the skies used to be filled with birds that are now extinct.

I know that change can happen and that it is usually permanent. That is the real status quo.

What we do matters. It’s counter intuitive but often inaction leads to change and it takes effort and energy to maintain stasis.

it redefines homosexuality to the point of possible erasure and is in general a patriarchal, misogynist, homophobic and transhumanist project, incompatible with human freedom and flourishing.

subdividing people into boutique "genders" based on inner feelings or the internalization of societal gender norms weakens and divides us all. It robs women of the solidarity, language and concepts we need to fight our oppression and draw our boundaries.

as a feminist, I understand that restricting the definition of "woman" to simple biology is the most expansive possible definition and allows us to advocate for women as a sex class in the most effective and inclusive manner.

To think that it belittles a person to acknowledge the biological reality of their female body, you'd have to believe that femaleness is inferior to maleness.
That's classic patriarchal misogyny.

Knowing that only people born 25 years ago are 25-year-olds doesn't "break us down to our dates of birth". It simply acknowledges material reality.

I refuse to accept "hallucinating", however, for behaviour which is better described as "bullshitting" and/or "confabulation".

it is a sticky problem because the language we use is important. Ideally we'd use a whole new word, but in the absence of such I'm more comfortable with "simulated" than "artificial" but alas the horse has bolted.
