Could I ask you all a small favour? Could you wish Dorah a very happy birthday? She's a burns survivor famous for recovering from most of her body burned. She's got a fantastic character, a huge heart & a capacity for joy which is in itself a miracle

I met this amazing woman, Dorah, many years ago on the tube in London. She is famous for having almost all of her body burned in an arson attack, but survived. We kept in touch. Tomorrow, she turns 30 yrs. Please can you wish her Happy Birthday?

Hi
@CityCorporation
you will have heard that tonight some trans activists voted to allow men into the women’s only pond. 150 yrs of history and safety gone. Men have the men’s pond, the mixed pond and now our pond, so we’re going to start using the men’s pond - giving you notice

I’m always puzzled when I see colleagues and fellow academics putting pronouns on their bio - why?? Your picture tells us you’re a male or female so we don’t need you to put she/her he/him. Genuinely interested in why you do it? it’s nonsense and was unheard of five years ago ago
This SNP guy on Newsnight right now is horrifying
He is saying if you call a man he when he wants to be called she it’s a hate crime. A hate crime!! how have we devalued the concept of hate to such a ridiculous childish notion
I have just turned down some coaching work this week with a new client who insists not only I use her pronouns but I use my own if I work with her org 🤨 Luckily for me I'm financially independent, and I can afford to say my pronouns are 'fuck' and 'off'

What allows you to “hoard” your own rights as a black man, but denies women their rights as women? Be really interested to know. You are a barrister - you should be able to answer a difficult question
