In high dudgeon, I headed to GP for insertion of puberty blocker. You're late (6 mins) & may not be seen; take a seat. I pondered. She hadn't said you will be seen last or won't be seen at all but wait to see if you will be seen. 25 mins later, with no word from anyone, I left.

So, with regard to my life-saving treatment, today was a petit desastre, with absolutely nothing that was supposed to happen actually taking place. Phone rang when I was on the bus. GP Nurse. You would have been seen. I can book you in now. No thank you; I will stick it in myself

By time I left the GP Surgery, in my heart I had become a bit of an arse but the important thing is that I did not show it. I simply said that I was leaving & apologised for being 6 mins late. Now, I face the prospect of stabbing myself in the belly to inject my capsule. Great.

I missed today's leap into the void by a fellow barrister on the subject of Iman Khelif. Having read what my colleague had to say, such as it was, I do not consider that any response is necessary. "No need to trouble you, Mr Wynter". "Thank you, m'lud".

A "gender fluid" dachshund manages to expand EDI/DEI to include a dose of the rational, making it more "inclusive". How woowoo delicious is that? What was the hound's name? I wish to celebrate him/her. Hold up. Hoooold up. Is this serious or parody? It could easily be either.

Common sense has seen off one element of woowoodewoopery in Wales, at least for the time being; something to celebrate. The really fun part of the proposal was that there was to be no restriction on who could be a "woman". Blokes could be too! Fun fun, fun! "Inclusion", you see.

Bravo. Astonishing that anyone working within a UK university should ever feel compelled to say something quite so staggeringly obvious but such are the times in which we are living that this is instead remarkable. Naturally, Stephen will now be denounced as a "transphobe". Yawn.

PS. This may be a good moment for other academics, particularly those who head up institutions or departments to rise to the challenge. If any more than, let's say, a dozen were to do so, I will buy a hat, chop it up, fry it with shallots & garlic, top it off with cheese & eat it

I am occasionally invited to the Emirates to watch Arsenal. Sometimes, I go by way of a freebie but on most occasions, I transfer the cost of the ticket to my benefactor; sometimes I bring cash. I am sure that other lucky people must do so also. Why ever would they not?

Man demands that woman agree he is a woman as a precondition for their continued engagement. Sympathetic woman politely declines to do so. Man insists that she does. She again declines but asks if they can still be friends. Man says no & ends the conversation. Woo in a nutshell.

First bricks thrown by "trans women of color (sic)". Others can do the trans women part. My focus is on the relevance of the words "of color". The usual "roping in" gambit. Being "trans women" is not enough. "Of color" enlists the power of race to the cause. Dentons' Playbook.

Lawyers are not politicians & do not think like politicians. Lawyers know the rules and cleave to them. Politicians sense the public mood & adjust their rhetoric accordingly. Starmer declared his gifts from Alli's grotto. Transparent; job done. Not so to the astute politician.

"People who menstruate" is still a preferred term of reference for the socio-culturally captured or frit. A simple question. Who else, other than women, menstruates? Should be easy to answer. Go for it. Tell us.

Imagine, 15 years ago, reading an article whose premise was that that men could not be lesbians. Through your befuddled frown, you would have howled with laughter. Yet, somehow, we have degenerated to a point at which lesbians are now obliged so to assert. spiked-online.com/2024/09/17/men…

Mr Pack is "frustrated" that the law does not permit him & his party to discriminate against women who know, as does everyone, that only women are women but who are brave enough actually to say so. He would have preferred to be able to exclude them completely. Extraordinary, no?

Sometimes, on overhearing a passing conversation, one wishes one could linger. A prime example this afternoon. Two women walk by; one saying to the other: "He punched the goalie who then punched the lad behind". My question: What did the lad behind do to deserve it?

Gingernut has a good deal. From left to right: Winter home, with 1 bedroom (insulated & equipped with heat retaining blanket & 1 living room, carpeted. Summer house, for temperate weather afternoon snoozing. Sun lounger, formerly a garden chair. Manipulates me by doing nothing.

How does one explode a pager? Hezbollah operatives were apparently instructed to ditch their mobile phones and supplied with pagers. Something cunning, something shady must have taken place somewhere along the supply chain. I wonder who, what, where, how and when.

Pretty extraordinary that a private citizen had to use her own money to provide a woman only service for the city and region. Shameful is too weak and timid a word for it.

What people like this refer to as "hate" is what we know as rational. Rational requires no effort at all for the sound-minded. One says what one thinks, with no need to pretend to believe the absurd. Going along with woo would not just be hard work for us; it would be impossible
