@NoContextBrits Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow,.......... Signifying nothing.

@ThrillaRilla369 Options:
1. Sit there until it was eaten.
2. Go to bed hungry and have it served up cold for breakfast the next day.

@SoVeryBritish Skin-on potato, pricked, oiled & salted, then baked in the oven until cooked through & crispy on the outside. Slice open in a cross. Butter & black pepper, then grated sharp cheddar, hot Heinz baked beans on top, then more cheese. Nom nom nom.

Listening to a workplace pension webinar. The presenter keeps saying 'aks' instead of 'ask', and I just can't concentrate on the really important content.

@JustSomeUser01 @Terfs_R Born female - Girl
Lived to adulthood - Woman

Born male - Boy
Lived to adulthood - Man

Born female with DSD - Girl (w DSD)
Lived to adulthood - Woman (w DSD)

Born male with DSD - Boy (w DSD)
Lived to adulthood - Man (w DSD)

Everything else is just disingenuous nonsense.

Dear men. Please stop calling women’s rights “a debate”. Stop saying there is “respect” on the side of those who want to enable perverts and other men to access women’s spaces and larp as women.

No one needs this dialogue. Women certainly don’t need the pomposity of men like this.

Respect is earned. Treating women’s rights and recognition like a legal game or academic debate doesn’t deserve any.

After repeated warnings, Stonewall is still saying on LinkedIn: “It's important to remember that the ruling hasn’t gone through the parliamentary process yet.”

Once again, for those at the back - and those who haven’t yet understood that this is disinformation: the ruling explained the existing law. The law became the law in 2010 by going through the parliamentary process to make it a law. That is how it became a law.

The ongoing campaign of disinformation is reprehensible and needs to be halted.

I feel nothing but sympathy for some of those who kept silent while the gender wars raged around them. I’ve had literally thousands of emails on this subject and some of the most desperate have been from people who risk their livelihoods and face persecution and harassment if they speak up.

That said, I have zero sympathy for academics who did nothing to prevent illiberal and authoritarian activism stifling debate, freedom of speech and academic enquiry at their place of work. Defending those values is fundamental to academic life and you didn’t just fall short, you disgraced yourselves. Your inaction and cowardice enabled a campaign of persecution against one of your own that shamed @SussexUni.

There are times in life where we are confronted by clear moral choices, when there is no middle route. Either you stand up for freedom of speech and belief - yes, even up to the point of causing offence - or you bow down to a totalitarian culture that relies on intimidation and threats to sustain itself.

It’s deeply depressing to think that a university requires a punitive fine to make it wake up to the fact that it’s abandoned basic liberal values, but the OfS has at last drawn a much needed line in the sand. I wouldn’t bet against more monster fines to come, though. The University of Sussex is far from the only institute of learning where a culture of fear has been allowed to flourish.

The furious international response to one little women-only gym in south west London shows how transgenderism isn’t about the safety of people who think they’re the opposite sex, the goal is to destroy everything that women have built for themselves.
