I Don't Sleep Well (Title)

I Don't Sleep Well. The title is rendered in biological looking script. The action takes place in the cross section of an apartment, where the characters are in front of a large window with the angle such that we are looking down on to the street. Insect arms reach out to a woman, whose silhouette is replicated behind her. The moon shines down.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

Advice for #Trans people and #Venues for dealing with complaints regarding the new EHRC code after Wednesday It's a Scottish campaign to provide safe places for trans people to pee but much of the advice will be applicable UK wide goodweeplace.com

EHRC’s Sex Segregation starts on 5th Aug.
Be careful how you respond.
The EHRC’s updated Code of Practice comes into force on 5 August 2026. It will change how organisations describe and manage access to single-sex services, including toilets.

For welcoming venues, the biggest immediate risk may be being wrong-footed into making a broad statement about your policy when somebody complains. A hurried response such as “we allow trans women to use the women’s toilets” could be presented as evidence that you knowingly operate the facility in a particular way.

Do not panic. Do not debate somebody’s sex in public. Do not humiliate or interrogate anyone. Keep your response calm, private and focused on safety, dignity, privacy and proportionate handling

Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy. That's what you get out of it. Unless you face yourself, fully and completely, and know who you are, you will never find true joy.
