Well done Mr Streeting blocking Susie Green’s nefarious plan. Mr Streeting is the only member of the Cabinet who I trust. Now he needs to make the ban permanent. I want to see what he is going to say about the proposed Conversion Practices Bill!
I’m having one of those weeks where it is a toss up between indulging in a panic attack and going to bed for a few days and not surfacing. Fortunately my mother didn’t have time to raise shrinking violets so I’m just gritting my teeth and getting on with life. Your Good News JL makes normal life more bearable so thanks for that. We’re getting there bit by bit.
Additionally, Vaishnavi Sundar's epic documentary on trans widows and trans orphans premieres this week on Lime Soda Films YouTube channel. (Friday, Aug. 30, 7pm BST, 2pm east coast US) She spent 3 years interviewing us, working on animated sequences for those of us who can't appear on screen because of potential retribution from "Roxy Tickle style" ex-husbands. I appear on screen, as I have no fear of Neddy, my ex. Like her series on detransitioners, Dysphoric, she's also included Helen Joyce and Lisa Marchiano commenting on this cult and its damage to families.

Thanks very much JL - not as dramatic as some weeks but it's still lovely to see, especially the Manchester Police part.
Love the top artwork and thanks for the wonderful Tom Lehrer. I love his songs, especially Poisoning Pigeons in the Park and Masochism Tango. Just read that he is still living (96 years old).
JL. As ever, thanks for this. The first story is very reassuring to read, and I will be adding SN's book to "the list".
However (and no criticism of you), I can't believe that it is a "good news story" that the police decided to remain objective and impartial. That should be the norm. Certainly it is good that they have decided to do so on this occasion, but in reality it's a small step forward from a huge leap backwards.
However, keep up the excellent work. It is very much needed.
From an envious American sex realist, kudos on the puberty blockers ban.
We need an equally big development here (a peaceful one, of course) to shake the Democrats' smug complacency about so-called gender affirming medicine and to put trans rights activists and their allies on the back foot.
Thanks for the GNS, JL.

Very important news re Manchester rozzers.
Scott N ‘s book sounds interesting.
Thanks re Tom Lehrer 😊

Who'd have thought it of Wes Streeting. He's been so good.

Hang in there, Marion. Sending strength and solidarity, sister. Take good care of yourself x
Keep on Terfing, MarionQ😊
Some amazing good news JL, thank you. I wonder if the police are beginning to get the message?
That last song reminds me of the wonderful Victoria Wood. Isn’t it great when religions can take a joke. 😁
I may be wrong but thought Tom Lehrer was Jewish. If so he has remarkably good knowledge of terminology in Roman Catholicism. Great lyrics.
Yes, he is Jewish! (Still very much alive at 96 years old!)
Yes, he is Jewish. He's also a genius with words.
Amazed to discover that the great Tom Lerner is still alive and kicking at 96 years old.
Indeed he is! 😊

Also love Tom Lehrer! My dad was a fan so I was raised listening to his genius!

Tom Lehrer is STILL ALIVE at the tremendous age of 96 LEGEND!!
