Working from home is 90% trying to ignore my dog's 'take me for a walk' eyes, and 10% walking the dog.

I am quite glad the Royal family are no longer the people who dictate fashion - Grey tracksuits do not suit me.

An important takeaway – the High Court has made clear that the Code of Practice has gotten the law wrong. It will need to be rejected by the Minister.

The High Court has ruled on our challenge to the EHRC’s interim guidance. The judgment contains some good news for trans rights – but plenty of bad. Read our analysis goodlawproject.org/update/high-...

There is some justice left in the world!

Cheering crowd outside the royal courts of justice! Wow, good news from a British court??! What is this feeling??

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Invading neighbouring countries, tick. Trying to control the media, tick. Oppressing minorities, tick. Ruling by violence and fear, tick. My 'how close are the USA to 1930s Germany' bingo card is pretty much complete.

My partner just called my Converse collection 'coloured plimsolls'. I am devastated and need a divorce lawyer.

New year, same me. Cos I actually quite like me.

We were promised this was not going to be 'the adult Cass report' and I am glad to see that was true.

Pretty devastated to see the WI have followed on from the Guides. Both of these institutions have been trailblazers and vital pillars of rural life when I was growing up.

Today is a day to remember, to learn and to celebrate all those whose lives have been touched by AIDS. The trans community has been heavily effected by this illness over the years and at NCTH, we especially remember the trans people we have lost to this illness. x

So if you don't look cis enough, you get kicked out of the toilet. That is basically how these new guidelines will work?

My brother works at Heathrow. As I have the Flight Radar app on my phone I have offered him my services. (I think a bunch of swear words will be heading back to me, but sibling rivalry does not stop just because he is having a bad day!)

Interested in archiving? Interested in transgender oral histories? Interested in how these could work on an intergenerational level? Come along to our latest workshop next Saturday in Nottingham - www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/east-midla...

It's amazing how quicky we have adapted to saying a hearty goodbye to somebody in a meeting online, then seeing them two minutes later in the staff room.

People working from home, remember to put something on before you start a teams call (this is not advice from experience, but advice from my mind constantly worrying about doing it!)

One small victory at a time is how we get equity. And this is one.

Interesting debate at Queer Britain last night about the similarities and differences between transphobia and homophobia. Was somewhat de-railed by gender critical people wanting to debate biology but I'm used to that!

Crocks and socks is apparently acceptable this time around. I'm very happy about that!

So it seems as though I am permanently a He in my mum's care home now according to the residents, which is fine as it is one of my pronouns anyway. I'm interested to research other experience of trans people who have family members with dementia and what they experience.

Spent a week messing about on boats. Now back to the grind stone! I'm always secretly happy to get back to work, so I am clearly in the right job!

Looking forward to speaking at I International Conference Naizen Trans children and youth this week! Spain here I come!

Not saying we are all delightfully odd where we work, but somehow in a conversation I invented an imaginary clinic cat called Tiddles and one of the nurses just opened a door to let the imaginary cat through.
