You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

Transphobic rot has truly spread and taken root in the minds of the media because they're trying to make "social contagion" stick for every issue from menopausal women who want hormone treatments to the right-wing demographic panic. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a tranny.

Something I don't hear talked about very often is how humiliating it is to have an autistic meltdown over something everyone else seems to just take in stride. Yes, it's annoying that the new manager requires that cameras be on for every meeting. But not everyone hyperventilates for 2 days about it

On "kids today are so sensitive/weak": My kid is staying home from school today, as he does most Mondays. He gets overwhelmed and anxious about going to school and works himself up to the point of having a meltdown. I had them too when I was a kid - grade school is not a good place for autistic

It's traditional in my industry to get really really drunk at events. My first officr Christmas party was so rowdy and gross, with men getting loud and insulting women who weren't in the room. It made me feel so uncomfortable that I left early and haven't been to function that serves alcohol since

Not again... Royalties are like your paycheque - you do the work, you get paid for it. Authors don't get paid (much/fully) in advance, they get paid in dribbles over a long period of time. But it is income generated by work. By definition, it is not rent-seeking.

Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.

So many sexual assaults could be stopped if men had the courage at the locker room talk phase (on or offline) of just telling their boys “that’s fucked up, dude. You should show some respect for women.”

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

People in crisis can act erratically and make self-destructive decisions. That refugee you're trying to get clothes for can transfer all his trauma and frustration onto you, becoming resentful of small details rather than gratitude. You can pour effort and time into a woman trying to escape abuse
