Overall, it essentially defines trans people as a category of sex of their own (a third sex) in a country that believes sex is binary and only legally recognises two sexes (but of course, now no longer legally recognises any record of legal sex)

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

13.147 A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from a separate or single-sex service for their own sex might be to prevent discomfort or distress for other service users.

If you think someone is trans, you can ask, however be sure to ask in a say that wouldn't put them at a disadvantage or seem hostile or that is harassment. If they deny it, you can ask them to prove it, however there aren't any documents that would work to prove it. Hope this clarifies things.

I am not hugely surprised at how bad the position they have taken is. I am surprised at how fucking bananas the actual document is.

Really enjoyed the Christophers, which is more like Black Bag than you might expect in some ways (though ends in a very different mode). Still find Soderbergh's work this decade slightly off kilter. Feel like I am beginning to develop a grand unified theory of Soderbergh though.

@stephenkb.bsky.social Have you seen Mother Mary? The trailers caught my fancy, and it reminded me of Vox Lux (which I adore), but the reviews coming out make it sound more like another Opus.

Rose of Nevada, in which Mark Jenkin asks 'what if Enys Men and Bait were the same film?' It's great, if you like Jenkin you'll like it, but I hope he starts to branch out more on future things.

Whatever you do,

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN."

Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

There's a cat that lives around here and sits out by the street all the time, and just hisses constantly at every single person passing by. It doesn't run off or get scared, it just sits there perfectly content until a person passes, then suddenly, HISS!

The Drama: Really, really liked this. I can imagine it might ultimately be quite divisive and if you don't like it it'll leave you cold throughout, but I was cackling the whole way through and thinking about it a ton after.

Oscars picks / Favourite Films of last year (UK Theatrical releases so my favourites don't exactly correspond to Oscar eligibility. In roughly reverse order: Warfare - Interesting partner to civil war. Worth discussing what it means to make this film like this. Utterly immersive regardless.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. A lot of fun. A bit Banky at times, hugely predictable if you've ever watched any SF , but very enjoyable. The most interesting thing is that one plot thread is explicitly, on a textual level, about something *incredibly* dark in a film that registers as lightweight.

Train Dreams: God, I regret not going to the cinema for this. Every frame visually spectacular. Saw a comparison to Assassination of Jesse James, which is true. Also News of the World and First Cow, Barry Lyndon in use of lighting, and vibes of A Ghost Story. Short, simple, yet sweeping in scale.
