Some of the dross he writes and gets published genuinely baffles me.
Its them omitting the word women for the fear of upsetting an infinitely small number of transmen right after we had the lancet referring to women as "bodies with vaginas", and before that birthing people, people with vulvas etc.Is it the "people" you have issues with
I guess it was either upset the infinitely small number of trans men or upset the seemingly infinitely large number of people like yourself who inexplicably care about things like this and fortunately they absolutely knocked it out of the park and chose to upset the correct group of people.Its them omitting the word women for the fear of upsetting an infinitely small number of transmen right after we had the lancet referring to women as "bodies with vaginas", and before that birthing people, people with vulvas etc.
They absolutely have. Especially if the comment section is anything to go by.I guess it was either upset the infinitely small number of trans men or upset the seemingly infinitely large number of people like yourself who inexplicably care about things like this and fortunately they absolutely knocked it out of the park and chose to upset the correct group of people.

I guess you disagree with the morons and think that medical institiutions should stop using the word "Women" for a adult female human beings which is the textbook definition of women.It was the CDC that used the term pregnant people originally, so the morons are getting upset at the wrong people.
You do know that it's not just women who can get pregnant?I guess you disagree with the morons and think that medical institiutions should stop using the word "Women" for a adult female human beings which is the textbook definition of women.
Had to do a double take there as I'm also a Man (34).Man (34) fails to read article, is offended by title.
Me too, so there's all sorts of double meaning hereHad to do a double take there as I'm also a Man (34).
I'm man 35. Dodged a bullet.Had to do a double take there as I'm also a Man (34).
It is odd isn't it? Many are the type to deliberately use he/she to upset a trans person. It seems like simple courtesy to me. Costs me nothing and why would you do the opposite of what is being asked?I guess it was either upset the infinitely small number of trans men or upset the seemingly infinitely large number of people like yourself who inexplicably care about things like this and fortunately they absolutely knocked it out of the park and chose to upset the correct group of people.
And they're asking for donations!War in the Ukraine, tensions over Taiwan, inflation at 40 year highs, but what's really keeping people awake at night is...

Reading into this now and it seems like an incredibly simple idea with added hype. It's basically an online version of apprenticeships, which offers some free course material, and gives you a chance at getting some lowly paid positions at the end of it. I'm talking £20k for jobs in central London. And there's only around 30 currently available.Tweet

The "lefts" reaction to the ruling is so at odds with reality. I've unfollowed the Guardian and Independent this week as they're trying to push an agenda down my neck.Heard verdict was a backlash against #metoo…

Very sad imho, there a lot that could be said even if one has an issue with the ruling. Of course it's hard work to talk to legal experts and speak about the results from a professional position, so easy to write up your emotional reaction.The "lefts" reaction to the ruling is so at odds with reality.

The only person who's harmed the metoo movement in that case, is Amber Heard. Instead of admitting they chose the wrong side, they are doubling down.
