Biological women who aren't 'feminine enough" beware

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g355v07l2o

"When asked to clarify this, the EHRC pointed to a section of the Supreme Court ruling stating that trans men could be excluded from women's facilities "where reasonable objection is taken to their presence, for example because the gender reassignment process has given them a masculine appearance or attributes to which reasonable objection might be taken" in the context of a women-only service."

pretty much the process in the U.K. is design to protect the NHS from a malpractice claim / so no-one sue them - like a kind of beaucratic ass covering. How we decide if some one trans resembles how we used to decide if some is a witch. Put them under water for 10+ years & if you still alive & still say you’re trans then you will get “care”. Health care delayed is health care deny…

Well that was a lovely ending to what’s been a difficult day - uplifting music in the van from Lucy Farrell & even more uplifting with Christina Alden & Alex Patterson - tours all most done… album will soon be released 💿 💿 Looks like they will back Sheffield at the end of year for a house concert (sounds suspiciously like live at Sam’s)

This week I was fortunate enough to hear Judy Dunlop and & Jon Scaife play in Bakewell. They did a bloody lovely version of "Silence and Tears" a musical interpretation of Lord Bryons "When We Two Parted"...

I managed to find this live performance from 12 years ago - the song was recorded on their LP Judy Dunlop & Jon Scaife – I Want Something from 2011

2025-04-01T16:10:06+02:00

I think one of the problems with the "cloud" is that people forget they still have point-to-point links between sites, which are often quite slow. They expect to move large amounts of data around without understanding the plumbing that allows that to happen. Loads of overlays obscure the plumbing - and the folks scratch their heads why things are so slow...

Many thanks to Stuart Green of the The Folk Club for playing my single, a re-working of the song "Oak and Ash and Thorn" > It has one verse removed to make way for a new verse at the end by me. Yes, I have the temerity and audacity to thinking can "improve" on Rudyard Kipling.

- I think Labour/Democrats focused on "cultural issues" because they were unwilling and unable to address the economic inequities in both the US and UK. Now they say seek to scapegoat "cultural issues" as their get-out-of-jail card for being useless. It's not as if being working class - and black, or a woman or LGBTQIA+ are mutually exclusive - as if working-class people were uniformly white and heterosexual. It's a fatuous excuse for their capitulation to neo-conservatism...
