Lloyd Webber: not only a Tory shite, but Thatcher's favorite musician. He's on my I Just Can't list (see also: Morrissey).

No, and ABSOLUTELY not on the list. I'm hoping to persuade Scarlett to try it and report back.

This is what 62 and almost five years of HRT looks like. No makeup, no filters, not enough sleep. Estrogen is magical.

This is why we (humans) use a social construct - assigned at birth after a *very* cursory inspection - which functions ok for *most* people. But not all. And that shouldn’t be a problem. Because why would it be?

She's one of the few remaining Bigot Big Beasts (bye, Cherry and Cates). And she's a member of the majority party. She's going to be the vessel for the hopes and dreams of the entire weirdo community.

"Biological sex" can mean - external phenotype - internal organs - hormones - chromosomes Use all four, and you'll divide the population four different ways - and with four different groups of "neither". "Biological sex" is incoherent. And all because the 'phobes are scared of AGAB.

The first 4th of July holiday on which the president can stop all the election nonsense, and appoint his first-born son as his successor. As long as it's an Official Act. That high-pitched, manic giggling you can hear is coming from George III's tomb.

Furthermore, trans women have used women's spaces for as long as there have been trans women and women's spaces. On account of being women. Contrary to the claims of the "George Soros invented Teh Tran in 2015" people, none of this is new.

Hugs. I don't think I'd realised how hard this was in my old job, where I NEVER interacted professionally with other trans people. That's not the case in my new job, and it's such a relief!
