If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

Less than 4 weeeks into term and I don’t know much longer I can support her into 6th form every day this week let alone for two years plus uni. But please, tell me how autism is over-diagnosed or how she doesn’t need support. I am exhausted. She is exhausted.

its interesting because they want young people to work but then they want more AI so what work are young people meant to do? Pretty much every job I did btw age 13 and 21 is either in a declining/struggling sector, or non existent due to tech

Sorry for such a bleak post, but I can't stop thinking about the men who were in that Cornell fraternity and presumably saw the Snapchat message allegedly advertising "free pussy," and did nothing, tacitly allowing their friends to allegedly commit gang rape. Men, your passivity destroys lives.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

Whilst I do not disagree with the idea that PIP is unfit for purpose, the idea that the govt just hands out thousands of pounds to anyone who applies is absolute bollocks. These people do not care to help young people.

A few years ago we were actively working to dismantle systemic racism which is discreet, complicated and takes a lot to understand and legislate against. We had taken the conversation to a very sophisticated place. Now we're back asking the state to enforce the fucking law, which is easy!!

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 72nd anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives, and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

Sat looking at the PIP claim form & 2 thoughts strike me - this is long & detailed for something that every twat online says is piss easy to get. Also, didn’t the Govt say they were going to extend DLA to 18? It is ridiculous to think my autistic 16 yr old could deal with this application alone.
