Not only is it a complete non-issue for cis people, but ‘single sex’ hospital wards are no such thing: not when it comes to medical staff, to cleaners, to porters, to ward visitors. It’s a nonsense. They aren’t in any meaningful way single-sex spaces!

A second beaver tooth pendant was found at Wigber Low in 1987, and is very similar in form. This second example is held by Museums Sheffield (number: 1996.716.6), and on display at Weston Park Museum.

Lucas, and has seen recent investigation from the University of Sheffield in the 1970s and 1980s. The cairn is from the Bronze Age but was reused in the Anglo-Saxon period, and there is also possible evidence of a Neolithic settlement beneath the cairn, as…

Disabled people need more support. Most ableds believe if you get “sick enough” help will magically appear. That if you get worse, more help will arrive. It doesn’t work like that. Unless you have family or deep pockets, you are on your own. Abuse is rampant. Suffering is inevitable.
