@RupertClements @MaeveHalligan On a timer with the other side constantly interrupting-which perhaps doesn't come across in the video -you keep going. This is a debate not a presentation.

[Thea Sewell @theasewell05]

lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it.

@BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect.

And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different.

One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing.

Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

@MaeveHalligan listened to the end of your closing statement. Fantastic stuff and actually you are the person being kind by speaking the truth. Sending strength for what will follow. Go well x

@damiankelleher @LauraCummingArt Oh so sad. A completely gorgeous writer. I'm sad never to have met him. Thank you for your words Cees.

A great sketch can nail a concept so well, it becomes the final word. Since 1998, nobody has had to say or write another word about boorish, drunken British people in Indian restaurants, because Goodness Gracious Me's "Going For an English" was a literally unimprovable statement.

As usual, when ⁦@LauraCummingArt⁩ describes a great painting, she makes you want to run to see it.

This moment had a lasting effect on me

@redheadedbaker If you can stand it -it might be worth waiting to see what happens to the Aus contingent's travel plans. The 30 days is up on April 16th. Just call if you want a chat xx

[Donna @planetchampion]
