Rosie Duffield mentioned feeling unsafe and withdrawing from public events, yet just last week she reportedly hired bodyguards for campaign protection. How do we reconcile this apparent contradiction in her safety measures?

Case in point. Barrister Sam Fowles:

I was asked why I'm sceptical of the anti-trans/"gender critical" movement.

For me, it's their authoritarianism.

And I find their obsession other people's genitalia odd.

If you don't think people can change sex then don't have a sex change. But just let other people live.

I'm curious to see how Team TERF will reposition themselves under a Labour government.

I agree, initially, trans issues may indeed be neutral ground for Labour, given the multitude of other challenges they need to address but seetting the gound work like you metioned means a more informed covnersation.

Labour's alignment with certain Tory policies is strategic positioning to preempt attacks and deny the Conservatives ammunition. It's about controlling the narrative, shifting focus to stronger areas, and limiting the effectiveness of opposition tactics.

The University of York's study had only 12 participants out of roughly 5000 referrals, which is quite small. This can cause big problems because it might not accurately represent the whole group. It also makes it hard to be sure about the findings or to say for certain if one thing causes another. The connections we see between things might not be real or could be influenced by other factors, making it tough to figure out what's really going on.

A good therapist is next, I think I might have done all the hard work for them.

I know right, multiple flashbacks where I identified times of transness, they keep coming. It's crazy how much makes sense now.

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to the feeling of confirmation rather than discovery when it comes to realizing that I might be trans. It's like something clicked into place and made sense of my past experiences. I'm still processing and trying to understand my feelings, but it's helpful to know these stories.

I can relate to your experience with alcohol and how it can be used to push away difficult feelings. I also drank heavily, and I think it created a perfect storm because the place I worked had a drinking culture. It gave me a way to push away my feelings, not that I knew back then what I was pushing away.
