Discrimination Barrister, Railway, Car and Flying Nut. Trans woman.
Sunday quiz night down the village pub and my MGA ‘Iris’ found a younger (but more poorly dressed) friend.
The Poster has Landed. A very welcome ‘thank you’ gesture from an American friend arrived today. I have loved this film for getting on for 50 years. Now I just need to get it framed and up on the wall.
Important work by Ms Serano.
Julia Serano@juliaserano.bsky.social · 3w agoBRAND NEW VIDEO: not only my most thorough take-down of these anti-trans talking points, but it explains why women & minority groups are often stereotyped as "contagious" & "excessively sexual." it compiles a decade of my work, so please watch & "like" & share so others see it! youtu.be/rJq9ran4Sdc
Barristers at the weekend. It’s feeling very ‘1958’ here at Roebuck Crossing on the West Somerset Railway. Both train (a ‘Hastings’ diesel on a charter from Hastings to Minehead) and car are from 1958.
Barristers at the weekend Maurice the Morris scoops the big prize! Best in show at the Sedgmoor Classic and Vintage show this weekend. Not bad for a 94-year old!
Can you smell the waft of panic from Reform HQ?
Off on a trip! Maurice, my Morris (R-type lorry) has been requested as a special visitor to the Sedgemoor vintage show this weekend. If you are in Somerset at the weekend, do drop in and see him there. www.sedgemoorvintageclubltd.co.uk

Breaking News Our new PM issues statement from Clacton
My reactions were: - It’s been done. - Only 1,000 years late. - Is this a government job creation scheme?

The danger of advice from hate groups. (No. 647) I have been reading the recent advice document from trans-hate groups the LGB Alliance. Much of it is quite sensible. It quotes the relevant law and then talks about employers balancing rights. And then I spotted this paragraph:

Is this a ‘Martin Bell’ moment? Do we need a single, obviously meritorious candidate in the Martin Bell mold to stand against Farrage (rhymes with disparage) in Clacton? Who?
A final thought for Pride Month. ‘Success isn’t final, failure isn’t fatal. It’s the courage to carry on that matters.’
A good read and a great line. I’m a bit of a WW2 obsessive, so I have read most things written on the subject, but new good things keep emerging and Holland & Murray’s ‘Victory ‘45’ is definitely in that category.
Given that the previous policy of keeping trans women in male prisons was changed following the death of trans woman Vicky Thompson in 2015 after she had been gang-raped to the point of committing suicide (and three other similar cases in 2015/16) … www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Faint hearts win no coronets. I’d be REALLY interested to understand why these Liberal Democrat’s signed Early Day Motion 240 and then withdrew their signatures. Messrs Farron (Westmoreland) & Andrew (St Ives). Can any trans or trans ally constituents help us understand?
Trumps ‘tarp of shame’ remains in place, I see…
