Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

It is with immense sadness that we announce the closure of VAULT Festival and the cancellation of plans for our new London home, after failing to secure the funding required to continue. 🧵 1/8

Fuck Dermot, This Morning, ITV, and this one hurts to say but fuck Alison Hammond. You can’t be a gay icon when you have trans blood on your hands. We’re a community and if you’re not an ally to all you’re an ally to none

I’ve just had the most exciting night in a theatre for years. @TLBTmusical is an all British musical and it’s a total triumph. This tale of conquering disability is funny, moving, uplifting, wonderfully performed and brilliantly crafted. It will be an international smash. - ALW

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?

Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.

Why? 🧵 👇

I don’t work for the BBC so I'm free to say what I feel. The language used by Suella Braverman and Priti Patel, about refugees and migrants, is very similar to language used in Germany in the 1930s. It's a fact. RT if you agree.

@richardosman If I wanted to prove I wasn't like a Nazi I'd do it by silencing my critics as well
