Someone clever (@upandoutcomic) asked people "When did you realize you didnโt have to identify as the gender you were assigned at birth? What made that ol' mental lightbulb turn on?"

๐ญ๐ฏ Veronika Chuyan, a 29-year-old mother, was killed yesterday during the Russian attack on Kyiv. She was running to a bomb shelter, desperately trying to get her children to safety.
โShe was trying to save her two little boys, aged 5 and nearly 3.
โA Russian missile exploded right next to the family. Veronika died on the spot. Her eldest son is now in the hospital; he suffered severe injuries and underwent emergency surgery. Her youngest child escaped with only bruises.
@DHSCgovuk@uniofeastanglia@portsmouthuni You haven't started the training yet so why lie that it is already "sustained"? This is Brexit level dishonesty, from the health ministry. Where's the "Change"?
@TheNewsAgents@Jeremy_Hunt@maitlis@jonsopel You're advocating making the worst state pension in Europe worse still in order to "equally" share suffering from the Brexit-crippled economy rather than advocating restoring prosperity by revoking Brexit. Could this be coloured by equating "pensioner" with "property owner"?
@asda Please ask your digital colleagues to introduce 2 services using online shopping pages to:-
a) advise the aisle number location of a product in a chosen superstore
b) send a text when an out of stock item is back in stock.
Thank you
@TheTransTroll But since the Truss corrupted EHRC helped Forstater get her ludicrous judgment protecting haters from discrimination, questions on compliance with equality policies would be potentially actionable, as would any other attempts employers could be proven to have taken block haters
@TheTransTroll Yeah, but the Entitled always think rules don't apply to them, and the obsessed will even join companies to create a scene, disrupt, get publicity and advance their cause.
@nw_nicholas@TomBaxers The laws are there but governments (who have to permit their use) refuse to use them, liking some of the techniques themselves. This is on them because - as those post WWII who formulated the protections knew well - once fascism gets root it is far more difficult to stop.
@LizWebsterSBF@Frencheconomics@jdportes It's worse than that. Many UK businesses closed or relocated to the EU so the previous investment in them was lost. Disadvantageous trade deals elsewhere damaged the UK economy. People's horizons & skills diminished, many emigrated. A spiral of decline, strife & division started
@TheGreenParty@rachelmillward
It seems you've confused ECHR - the European Convention/Court of Human Rights - with the EHRC - the UK Equality & Human Rights Commission. You might want to delete & resend?
@SophieM97713317@HTheCritical@EHRC Well, actually, there is an aspect. Because EA2010 & its predecessors are based on EC/EU/ECJ law & the FWS case was started before Brexit, EU legal principles should have been applied by SCUK, but weren't, reversing the finding & making it invalid..
@CaitlinKellyNYC@NYMag Yes, a friend had one. Required loads of additional cushions. The high sides were no doubt helpful against howling gales though the home.
