Wonderful news in there. 😊 The Owen Jones block list thing was hilarious. I've joined Twitter recently so I'm enjoying the many dinosaur name variations and fun thanks to Lammy's cervixgate moment.

“It doesn’t concern me that trans women and trans men want to have their rights verified but the denial of basic biology & the psychology of women, particularly those that have gone through trauma, makes no sense.”

Ben Hunte has reported in Vice that the BBC are "expected" to leave Stonewall. Of course, he has previous with the beeb & may just be making mischief but let's keep our fingers crossed!

So heartening to see the quote from Professor Dame Anne Glover. What a great recruit to the cause: a hugely distinguished scientific career, am immense intellect and a public figure. Not someone whose views can be easily ignored...

The Good News edition is what keeps me going. It bolsters me when I start to feel inundated with all of the damage being done to women, children, and gay/lesbian people. Every week I look forward to this. Thank you for keeping my spirits up!
