The amazing thing about these places in the US is that you cannot walk between any of them. I stayed in a hotel on one of these developments and there was a restaurant next door that I could not walk to, and had to drive 10 minutes around a big loop. It is incredible.

I remember we once had a supply teacher at school who insisted on using everyone's full names. One guy was called Ben, and she called him Benjamin. He pointed out his actual name on his birth certificate was just Ben and she wouldn't have it. We all understood she was an idiot.

I am genuinely not shitting you here - this is not a parody - the international chess federation is restricting trans women from competing in women's chess competitions.
Chess.
So FIDE just published (yesterday) a list of anti-trans regulations, like it was "the biggest threat of women in chess".
Can someone tell me what qualifies as an official FIDE event? Will I be allowed to play the French Championship in 3 days? The European Club Cup in September?

Yesterday we posted a tweet promoting cervical screening, which referred to ‘anyone with a cervix’.
The tweet was part of a regional campaign aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, to encourage trans men and those that identify as non-binary, to book a cervical screening. 👇
