This is good news, and it matters beyond the ponds themselves. It's a reminder that, as others have said, the horrifying rollback of trans rights in the UK over the last year and change has happened wholly without a democratic mandate. When the people get a say, they demand inclusion.
Article header reading "Hampstead Heath ponds to remain trans-inclusive after public back existing rules." It goes on to say "Policy agreement means trans people will continue to have access to Kenwood Ladies' and Highgate Men's ponds in north-west London". Then there's a picture of someone diving into water, below which it says "A public consultation found 86% of the 38,000 respondents favoured retaining the ponds' existing trans-inclusive arrangements.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE
DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat. 

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."

happy *quiet, chill* pride
The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away.  It reads “It’s ok if you are tired. Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.”

My favourite fact in ages, via @lucyjames.games on the Besties: Widow's Bay (which is great btw) was created by the overdressed Babadook from this historic tweet.
Tweet from Katie Dippold where she's dressed as the Babadook but the party has more of a grown ups drinking wine vibe.

I find the level, speed, and depth of radicalisation frightening. This isn't about safety or fairness. Her core assertion is that someone else ticking a box somehow dilutes her womanhood. How is this different to what bigots were saying a few years ago on marriage to exclude people like her and me?

Widow's Bay is absolutely fabulous. Witty and downright hilarious, while also being scary--often in the same moment. Excellent acting and superb scripts. Really love it!
