Wildfires have devastated moors, heaths and woodlands across the UK. Countless animals will have died, from birds and reptiles to small insects with no way to flee the flames. Natural Resources Wales says it could be hundreds of years before habitats in Wales recover.

It was preposterous that amnesty characterised a trauma informed service to support women who have been subject to sexual and domestic violence as anti rights. There was an impact on service users and this shows an impact on staff. No wonder those involved were and remain so angry

Male people -however they identify -never had the right to access women's services, provisions & sports. Because these are for women. But males with trans identities ignored this & insisted on access anyway. Stonewall misrepresented the law. That misrepresentation has now been clearly exposed. End.

As expected, MAGA is coming after disability benefits for combat veterans. Here's just one example of the rule's impact: Veterans taking anti-depressants for PTSD will be forced to stop taking the medication in order to retain their disability payments.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Top tip. 'Biological sex' is not a slur. Sex is by definition biological. So 'biological' is not usually needed. Sex is an established demographic variable research. But, the 2004 GRA permits a change of certified sex for some purposes, so 'biological sex' is sometimes necessary for clarity.
