Problem is, half the Democrats either won't denounce the lies or agree with them, convinced by James Carver and Gavin Newscum and the NYT that being anti-trans is a must-have bi-partisan position.

To slightly adapt a quote I have carried with me from an interview nearly 30 years ago: "Somewhere, somehow, it was decided I was going to be his dad and he was going to be my son. And it's just the rightest thing that could ever be." We will love you forever Mr Lyle ❤️🐾

My Mum and Dad never said goodbye to each other, so we said hello to Mr Lyle, as we always did.

Mr Lyle came to use through a rape and domestic abuse survivor I had interviewed. He was handed across the doorstep as a little furball into my hands. And I would give anything for another day of him purring curled under my chin as I held him. That was the best place for both of us.

On Monday, the consultant again wanted to admit him. We said he couldn't. We made a plan to have his tube removed to spend one last day together but an hour later, it was clear he couldn't make it. We held his paws the entire time. We told him endlessly how much we loved him.

We took him home Thursday with a tube for feeding and instructions to give him six different medications, and insulin. We did for four days but his bright personality from before wasn't there. And more significantly, the empathetic little boy didn't come rushing to us through multiple tears.

Last Monday, we took him again and tests found a couple elevated liver levels. They recommended hospitalisation. In the three nights and days there, a test of his liver caused a freak liver bleed, his ketones went up, his temperature went up, stuff wasn't working and there weren't answers.

It is with immense sadness and loss to say that our beloved son, Mr Lyle, needed to go to sleep yesterday. After being diagnosed as a diabetic in July, the first 6-8 weeks went smoothly. But his weight and appetite decreased into September. We made two vet visits with no other clinical signs.

It's just accepted as normal that the UK hates trans people and that's ok. It doesn't even register as something to be concerned about when most cis people are talking about the state of the country. Tired.

I hand delivered a copy of my EHRC submission to my MP last year. They never replied, nor to two follow-up emails. When I handed it in, a staffer tried to "both sides" me, so I knew it wouldn't get far.

The whole thing is a bigoted disgrace. The cis don't have to tell each other if they are married, if they have herpes, if they are a Tory, if they've been convicted of horrendous offences. But if we fail to disclose we're trans, off to prison we go and have to sign the sex offenders register.

The press have decided to reimpose the two party model and unfortunately, that requires “pretending to believe Kemi Badenoch is doing a good job”. Which is pretty bad, given she’s a disastrously online wacko.

Kathleen Stock: taboo around gender identity has chilling effect on academics

T
he press release that accompanies Prof Kathleen Stock's new book says she wants to see a future in which trans rights activists and gender-critical feminists collaborate to achieve some of their political aims. But she concedes that this currently seems fanciful. As far as she is concerned, the book, Material Girls, sets out her stall - and she knows a lot of people will find it distasteful.
