Wow. The Lancet has gone bonkers It just ran a book review arguing that focusing on sperm/eggs as male/female is bad bcuz it promotes "gametic" bigotry, & so “fuels unhinged panic in some quarters about transgender threats to traditional gender roles” This is a MEDICAL journal

Aside from the fact her commute is about 5 times the length of his & her constituency is vastly larger in geographic spread, something makes me doubt that Neil is doing much childcare. Unless he's looking after them at football.

It’s striking how many people are arguing the 14 yo shouldn’t have felt that way, or the M&S man was just doing his job. They feel free to deny her legitimacy so as to avoid denying him anything. They know who’s male and who’s female.

The decision by an EU country to grant refugee status to this Brazilian woman is significant for more than one reason. To begin with, it is the first of its kind (at least that we know of). It is also an acknowledgement that the threats and punishment imposed on women who assert

.JVS: “How do you think this is going to make a very nice, gentle transgender woman feel?” Helen Joyce: “And how do you think it’s going make women feel that we aren't able to say ‘no’?” A heated exchange on BBC Beds, Herts & Bucks over the #SupremeCourt ruling ⬇️
