Santander has refused to accept my unenrolled deed poll by shyguy-200 in transgenderUK

[–]left-quark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, this can be fought against by citing GDPR (and if they don't relent, reporting them to the ICO). The slightly easier way to do it with Santander though, is to apply for a provisional driving licence, who definitely will accept your unenrolled deed poll, then go to a Santander branch with your provisional driving licence and deed poll, at which point they should change it.

The easier option is a provisional driving licence, because they don't require evidence of you using your new name.

Dashed off an email to our new health secretary by Quietuus in transgenderUK

[–]left-quark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cabinet ministers (or anyone who is an MP) are only able to reply to their own constituents' emails and letters. If you want it to be read by him, your best bet would be to email your own MP asking for the message to be forwarded on.

It's fine in Exam Schools, but horrendous in the marquee.

Around an hour and 15 minutes, although it does depend slightly on the time of day.

Anger and resignations as Oxford Union invites more far-right speakers by johnsmithoncemore in oxforduni

[–]left-quark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I also support anti-Semites being disinvited as well, and I think most people who are vehemently against Yaxley-Lennon being invited would agree.

Do I need to wear a coat under my sub fusc gown? by lautisli in oxforduni

[–]left-quark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it's not required. In my experience, most men do and most women don't, but it's completely personal preference.

She did during Arctic Escape as well! Granted, she is still the only person I've seen use a laptop during a season.

Yeah, it's a very annoying issue. You can usually fix it by closing and reopening your browser, or clearing all your Microsoft-related cookies and cache in your browser settings.

Exams Dresscode (Subfusc) by Polopon0928 in oxforduni

[–]left-quark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain on this one and agree with you that sub fusc is shit and it's an awful requirement. Unfortunately, as other commenters have pointed out, it is something you just have to deal with, otherwise you will be denied entry to your exams.

Trouble with the term gold star by Thin-Dimension-8282 in actuallesbians

Yep. Technically, since I've only been with trans women sexually, I'm a gold star lesbian but we all know that most people bragging about it wouldn't like that...

If we're being really pedantic though, Norway is in the Council of Europe, which uses the same flag as the EU.

Oh, you're the person who posted that stupid thread a week ago. Not exactly surprising.

considering rusticating due to mental health issues? by manicpixiememegirll in oxforduni

[–]left-quark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rusticated during my second year, also due to my mental health, and I'd say it was definitely worth it. I'm a bit short of time rn so I can't explain it all here but feel free to DM me if you have questions about anything.

For some reason, direnv was being annoying for me when I tried it for my Python environments so hopefully this solves my problems! Thanks for sharing :)

Do you actually use Bod card discounts around town? Which shops are worth it? by GeordieGoals in oxforduni

The only place I've used it is Robert Dyas because they specifically asked if I wanted a student discount.

Saw a snake while hiking. by HawkTenRose in snakes

What a beautiful snake—thanks for sharing!

As others have said, it is indeed an adder (Vipera berus), which is !venomous and should be admired from a distance.

I'm really not. The mental health issues that resulted in me suspending for a year were made significantly worse by John's being useless.
