Off to Portugal today. Helping out @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social for the World Sailing Inclusion World Championship. Here's a video I edited of Bex on the water earlier last week.

We were going through our library of protest photos, but a curious thing we noticed was that there were a lack of protest signs talking about gender euphoria. Bit of a suprise that we didn't see it at all. We got tons about trans joy, other references to stuff. But not anything on gender euphoria.

Some great work by Flint! He put a lot of hard work into this. And the team has been doing a fantastic job of keeping WTT producing these episodes whilst I've been on my break.

To be clear – I would argue this is almost certainly unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, even under the Code of Practice.

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

It's always frustrating when we are sorting through the protest photo archive we have and we see protest signs with GenAI art or text on it... Please just stop using it. We've already had to remove some signs from our photo archive and put them in a non public one.

It's always funny when someone tries to complain at us about a protest when we are clearly not an organiser of a protest we are reporting on.

My silly lil contribution to the current "what if spiderman transitioned?" moment. This conversation has been in my head for days, so I decided to do a quick sketch, with a smidge of ink and a splash of watercolour for readability.
Petra Parker hangs from the ceiling whilst chatting with a seated aunt may. 
Petra: I hope uncle Ben would be proud of me. 
May: Petra you're a hero. 
Petra: I meant as a woman? 
May: you bet he'd be proud he'd be saying "with great tits..."
Petra: ".. Comes great responsibility"... Thanks May

World sailing claims they have improved equality in sailing despite banning trans people from the sport. I've seen them ban a trans person from competing in events already and make them walk a tightrope in order to compete in other events What a load of bollocks. www.sailing.org/2026/08/17/w...

Like Spring Conference, I have a motion - A12 - to Autumn Conference, calling for the end of blanket bans of trans people from sporting categories. One of the mechanisms in which we can end these bans are to make sporting bodies and their decision-making processes public and transparent.
