Doctor who believes in biology. Old skool feminist. Loather of Foucault. Germaine was right about EVERYTHING (close enough).🦕🦖

@Rebeccasaysno Worse still, EDI is now required on research grant applications.

As many points are given for EDI as for the actual scientific content.

This makes the whole Going Off To The Desert ALONE (except for Staff) to Heal Myself narrative utter bollocks.

She had surgery. She is probably on an oestrogen blocker. Job done.

Some good sense from the Australians on the Elle cancer story.

Intraductal breast ca has an excellent prognosis. Even for early

stage invasive breast ca in post-menopausal women, the bulk of benefit comes from surgery and hormone blockers (eg. tamoxifen).

Chemo only improves survival marginally.

Doctors pushing her into chemo is reflective of the American healthcare service. NOT the science.

@SurrogConcern OMG!

The bare-faced lying in this!

If she had 'delivered' the baby, she would be in scrubs, with gloves covered in blood + mucus. Probably poo too.

The child was delivered by someone else, wrapped and placed in her arms. For the photo shoot. 🤮

Now understand the fuss about the Barbican toilets!

My cubicle was covered in urine last night - toilet seat, back wall, floor, sanitary box. A man had clearly aimed and missed. By a long way.

Washbasins open to the foyer. Heaven forfend any disaster.

Unutterably grim.

The Royal College of Surgeons doesn't like women much!

Only 15% of consultant surgeons are female. Their trainees reported harassment and misogyny as the norm.

But they are letting dudes in frocks take women's places on leadership courses.

Nice!🙄

It was also a DARVO moment. Defence lawyers are usually morally ambiguous. Necessary, but a tiny bit evil. This time, she was the Goodie.

The show has always been good on the difference between morality and legality.

But it was always Team Law. Maybe not anymore?

[LMM1874 Lucy Maud was a Radical Feminist @lmm1874]

Disturbed by last night's Law + Order.

McCoy's daughter was hysterical. Arguing that 'empathy' with the perp is more important than The Law. McCoy nearly buying it.

But the whole point of show has been that The Law IS more important than feeling.

I pine for the days of Helen Gurley Brown.

When I was young, Cosmo was all dressing up, having orgasms and getting ahead at work.

With lots of how-to advice on dealing with misogyny.

Sigh.

It is not women's problem that these men are not good enough to compete against other men.

The female category is not a back up plan for mediocre males.

One can see how this all unfolded.

She wanted to join in breakdancing.

The boys laughed at her because she was pants.

So she wrote a revenge PhD (like anyone cares) and then set up her own competition so she could go to the Olympics.

Toddler throwing a massive tantrum.

[Dr Dani Sulikowski 🎗️ @DrDaniS]

@littlemykonos Does anyone think this might be a clue as to why the DanceSport Australia approached RayGun in the first place? Was it because she "had a PhD in breaking", or because she has friends in high places in Australia's ballroom dancing scene?

Mental health services are overwhelmed with young people.

825,390 people are awaiting A level results. If only 10% contacted services, that's 80 000 calls in a space of weeks. What service could cope??

We need to stop pathologising normal life events!

DNA testing IS simple.

Cheek swab. Or strand of hair with a bulb attached.

Clearly hasn't watched a single episode of Law and Order. Or seen the adverts for 23 and Me.

To all my male colleagues who suddenly became experts on rare genetic/metabolic disorders over the WE.

And shamed any women worried about a man punching a woman in the face.

We SEE you!

This medical doctor admits that his altered male body is not female ('more like' is not IS).

But is still grumpy that he can't access female spaces.

Natch.

Saw a good half dozen men out in baby doll dresses and full slap today.

The summer is going to be even more unpleasant than usual!

Caught sight of Eddie Izzard out campaigning in central London.

All dolled up in a short skirt and white heels.

The women with him wore long floaty skirts or trousers with trainers/flats. They all looked comfortable.

Izzard struggling to keep up. Falling off heels...

Perfectly happy for India to just stay in the overcrowded mixed-sex ED. Or even better, the mixed-sex back-of-ED corridor.
