"Girls commit suicide and are swiftly buried, but there is no media outlet to speak out." The suicide rate among Afghan women is rising alarmingly as they endure unbearable mental anguish—trapped in their homes, stripped of education, freedom, and all basic rights. Their pain

This is written like the fiction it is. As a trans Australian, I was kicked out of a UK toilet. This is not the open-hearted Britain I remember | Jack Nicholls theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

On Friday MPs will likely vote on whether to proceed the assisted suicide bill Last year the BBC Radio 4 Profile series featured the Bill’s sponsor Today at 12.15 it’s my turn My opposing views & life history are explained via archive & others words bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

He first came to attention for running away from a car crash wearing fishnet stockings so I never expected much from him tbh 🤷 His trans status protected him from ridicule and worse, but politicians should know better by now that no group of men are untouchable.

RIP Alfred Brendel. Saw him playing Beethoven at the Royal Festival Hall sometime in the eighties. Did a drawing of him. What a fantastic pianist he was 🎹

Despite the treatment (or indeed non-treatment) of some older, ill & disabled people during covid, MPs are still contemplating legalising medically assisted suicide Here's a secular explanation of why many of us oppose giving Drs & the state this power: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

The actual article uses the terms 'pimping', 'prostitution' and 'sexual exploitation' but the guardian puts it under the heading of 'sex work'. Somebody should tell them that sanitising the sex trade only helps the pimps. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Helen Saxby Told them a million times. Demanded they take my articles from under the banner of ‘sex work’, in particular obituaries I had written of sex trade survivors. Went to the Readers’ Ed who tried to make excuses. Amoral idiots

Fantastic interview with Martina Navratilova. Slightly surprised to hear Amol Rajan claim that *some* research shows that trans-identified males are at a DISadvantage in sport compared to females. This is the Flat Earth division of BBC impartiality isn't it? 🙄

The 'choice' argument so often depends on ignoring the fact that all sorts of inequalities compromise people's 'choices'. This bill will have the worst outcome for all the usual people.
