Naturalized Irish in Ireland originally from Russia, proud IE and EU citizen. Liberal centre-left. Anglican Christian (moderate). Opinions my own! Any pronouns.
Important Statements (personal opinion)
Russia-Ukraine war
Israel-Hamas war
Will put further links to my positions, if any, in a thread under this tweet.
Hamas is intrinsically evil.
Israel has been doing a lot of really bad shit.
I hold to both of these things at once, which makes it rather hard to discuss stuff in Twitter or similar format.

Thanks for reporting this very good school education. The school is of course absolutely right. What's your problem?
His version of "teaching" is CRITICALLY WRONG. "Don't let a stranger..." - but most child sex abuse does not come from strangers.
@FifiGnc
If this was supervision, I think this had to be done. An anti-trans position as a mental health worker is dangerous to trans and questioning patients.
Herts Police (UK) received a pile-on and had to remove a tweet supporting a volunteer constable. The "reason" is that the constable is transgender and wore very tame makeup.
"reasonable concerns".
@EmmsyEmma
I see that many people said call the cops. And I realized there needs to be, in my opinion, one more thing.
Lawyer up. It needs to be an LGBT+ friendly lawyer too.

I periodically hear about Westerners trying to tell Japanese people how to be Japanese and this is just weird every time.
It's a G7 country with 125m population and some foreigners go expecting political uniformity?

You definitely do NOT need a partner (man or otherwise) who has trouble with you being better at something. We all have our strong points and our not-so-strong ones.

The person was 31, fully sane, and fully diagnosed.
I hope the person and their backers are routed in court.
And I have serious doubts the diagnosis was even wrong.
Following Kathleen Stock's interview on BBC Woman's Hour, where she mentions no threats and admits to not being scared, I can now say with a reasonable level of certainty that
THE STUDENT PROTESTERS DID NOTHING WORTHY OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION
FIRE TICKELL FOR HIS THREATS
As the Russian government increasingly blocks access to websites, can we call Western VPN companies to open unrestricted free access for users with Russian IP addresses?
The Internet must never be broken apart. Applies to all sides.
I would like to thank Kathleen Stock supporters who debated me. They provided ample evidence that the Stock position is a direct danger to trans students by way of seeking to remove their existing right to access spaces of their target sex in the University.

Imagine the price of the copper and the work involved in making sufficient wire for a generator and motor powerful enough for irrigation. Also can you even make a single-phase AC motor with no capacitors nor diodes?

What happened is a well-calculated and well-0funded plan to reverse all of LGBTQ+ gains by concentrating on the T *first*. Anywhere they succeed in "stopping T", like in Hungary or Florida, they move on to the LGB next.
@Teckmonky1
I think the important part is that Loki's fluid sex ( even literally "biological sex" as the terves want it, "reproductive capability") is canon in mythology.
Gendercriticals started a thread about "losing" their ADULT children to being trans. And of course someone who "lost" a sister to being lesbian promptly joined.
LGBT, objectively one cause.

@SayingItLouder
I’ve lost my sister. She announced in her late 40s suddenly she was gay. Divorced her husband, “married” a woman. Now, 8 years later her 2 teenaged step kids are both trans & she celebrates it. She’s passively hostile to us her family. Her adult kids distancing from us as well.
@ComradeDoom1
So you quote half a Gallup poll. Without quiting its otehr half which shows the huge increase is primarily in BISEXUAL identity. Nothing to do with a "disembodied world", this is clearly just "less stigma leads to more experimentation and some like the results".
@UnseenJapanSite
My first thought: wow, Oshi No Ko IRL.
My second thought: maybe the popularity of Oshi No Ko is exactly what let her make this announcement more safely?
@BretteDutton
Well, as your child did not involve protection services back then, it's kinda useless to debate now... but would be interesting to see what happens as soon as your child is of age and no longer materially dependent.
@Ishikawa_Sachi
Gotta defend Rubio here. His tweet was aimed at his base, and there are lots of "vaccine skeptics" in his base. Getting them to accept vaccination is good for everyone.
@helenstaniland
Unless you happen to own the space in question how does your "consent" matter in who is allowed or not allowed to use a space that is open to the public?
@ErinInTheMorn
The response should be action by medical professional orgs against the state of Florida. I'm not saying don't provide care. I am saying end all cooperation with the state. No medical licensing, no evidence (DUI etc), no Medicare papers etc.

@Sk8r44809
This might be a case for child protection services in my view. If that deleted post can be recovered, it needs the eyes of a lawyer or social worker.
@JamesEsses
No, they are not meant to protect you. They are meant to protect your potential clients and did just that.
I hope they follow up with a mandatory requirement for all students to affirm they shall not engage in conversion therapy. as defined in the MoU 2019.

I hope you are talking to a good lawyer and the lawyer approves the tweets. Looks like a criminal case to me, I hope it can be prosecuted.

You don't have to "believe in gender identity" to be courteous. The singular they is in official dictionaries, which also state that it does NOT state a gender, therefore you can use it without accepting anything about Laurie's gender.

Transphobia in this context is defined as the philosophical belief that a person's sex is (a) immutable and (b) entirely relevant in public life as immutable, whatever steps the person might take to change it.
So I got thinking. Sasha White was in the Big Apple, lots of employers there. WHY would she choose to join the one that was *expressly* pro-LGBT?
She joined just this month, her views have not changed since then. She *knew* of incompatible values all along.

Я живу в Ирландии и мне кремлетвиттероиды на эту тему как раз помогли. Кто-то написал такое "европейцы, ну что, закупили дрова?"
Ну, я и закупил дрова. А так бы позже вспомнил и больше было бы возни.

You cite no qualifications, except being granted permission to intervene by a court, but the decision of that court has been overturned.
You are not a doctor nor a psychologist. What qualifies you to question the authoritative well-evidenced Memorandum?

@diannaeanderson
Thing is, double blind placebo controlled trials are impossible if the treatment itself unblinds the patient, which means the use of blockers for precocious puberty doesn't have those too. Here is a review on the matter, note how it treats other studies.

@SussexUni
Peaceful protest, and most faces are visible enough this time. And no "rifles", real or imitation. I thought your side loved Free Speech?
Suggestion: a view that includes "eliminating the practice of transgenderism" might actually meet the Article 17 bar for non-protection as stipulated in the Forstater decision, unlike the sanitized version presented at the trial. At least I would try that in court.
@Baroness_Nichol
"The Trans agenda". You're not even subtle here - everyone knows who talked about "the gay agenda". In fairness, as a Conservative peer who voted against same-sex marriage, you do not need to hide this.
@jwmarianna
Wait, I don't even see the issue here? Who the hell, on any side of any debate, would want to pry into whatever parents an adult might have?

I guess this doubled as a test for being old enough to recognize the anachronisms!
"The web" means this is post 1991, so the typical phone already has buttons not a disc. And instead of calling into radio, you can just buy or rent or borrow a CD and copy stuff to your mix tapes.

Er... climate change is linked to the economic system somewhat, you know. Not that socialism fared any better in that regard. But human-caused climate change is an established fact by now.

I mean, how is that heterosexual couple different from any other heterosexual couple for this purpose? Like, in what way AT ALL? Why would a special "plan" be needed?

Wait. The second on the right in the front row is Listiev, someone I had the honour of seeing in person once. He was killed in 1995, when Putin was still working in St. Petersburg and nowhere close to ruling Russia.

The word "all" was not in the original claim. MUCH research on trans health care was burned by he Nazis in 1933 and this fact is well documented.
@Katerqburns
Could you clarify why the sheriff is doing that? Did the Pride organizers ask for this, or are the cops trying to take over the decision on who can participate?
@joannaccherry
No. There is no "discrimination" in diversity training that contradicts certain protected beliefs. For example, such training about gay people contradicts conservative Christian and conservative Muslims beliefs, and is still quite legal.
@Noah_Halpin
Yeah, "Irish" terves are very suspicious. Some days ago they suggested getting GRCs to become "men" and demand entry to "golf clubs and gay saunas". There seems to be only one men-only golf club in Ireland and the saunas are not men-only for all I could find?
@Catachresticals
Suggestion. Talk to the management of the course. The teacher might not be in an emotional position to do so but you are.
They will very likely throw him out of the course.
This stuff needs to be nipped in the bud.

My son, then nine, got into Love Live music. I gave him the anime (which I watched in its entirety)...
He dropped it at the beach episode, saying they just do nothing for entire episodes.
I did arrange a Russian cover of his fave for his birthday.
@helenstaniland
No, it does not. In every space, only the owner decides, subject to anti-discrimination law. Well, in state or council owned spaces you have indirect influence as a voter, but that has nothing to do with your sex or gender, only your citizenship.

Why are you calling a typical (ever since the 60s) student protest "disgraceful" before any facts were investigated?
Why is there no investigation in Kathleen Stock's alleged transphobia?
@MrMennoTweets
@LouiseRedknapp
If you stop attacking trans people, as well as the gay people who are with trans people, this means you stop giving fuel to the anti-LGBTQ forces.
It should not *matter* "exactly what homosexuality is"; it's known to be a spectrum since the Kinsey scale in 1947!
