Just a line to express solidarity with Dr Upton who has had the courage to face down her critics in Scotland. I know that she has the support of her work colleagues. Her stand is important for all trans employees and their use of gender-appropriate facilities, to which they have every right.

BBC article: “Dr Upton had planned to arrive at work with a female colleague, but the colleague was late…Dr Upton therefore went into the changing room alone - before Ms Peggie WALKED OUT OF A CUBICLE” This whole case is a GC attack weapon, brought to cause harm.

Are Trump and Musk in the love-in honeymoon period? Two overt, self-serving narcissists can't be in a relationship for very long before it explodes spectacularly.... surely.... Do they have the intellect to be Machiavellian. To use each other, strategically. To stomach being over-shadowed? Hmm...
