Thanks Dusty, I’m quite happy to be a miscreant, ne’er do well and a flibbertigibbet; far better than being an ideologue or an ally.

The HHS review is great, very happy to hear it acknowledge that the abuse has been coming from one side only. Pity Cass couldn’t have been more honest rather than ‘appeasing’. We might have made more progress.

Very interested to hear you review the Equality Act. KJK is adamant on it being abolished.

Enjoy Chelsea. #PlantsArentQueer

You're welcome, TT.

I'm sure that lots of us foot soldier Terfs are a good bunch of miscreants etc I had to look up how to spell flibbertigibbet 😄

The HHS review does go beyond Cass very helpfully - shame it doesn't have any recommendations!! Agree with Becca and you that Cass failed to get to grips with the underlying ideology and left the door dangerously ajar!!

Barry W also wants the Equality Act repealed so I am up against it!! I have my main ideas sketched out but need to fill in the details. May get something done on the journey to and from Chelsea tomorrow. I trust my paid subscribers will forgive me for making it available to everyone since I think it is an essential subject. If Reform ever get to power a lot of them are not very fond of the Equality Act.

Like the hashtag 😂

I spelt with a y and had to check your title; what a great word. We need to use more old words before they die out and we end up with a ‘unidialect’

Agreed.

Plus let's get rid of some meaningless words that the TRAs and queer theorists have invented such as 'cis', 'heteronormative' ( which brings with it the implication that your sexual orientation is a lifestyle choice!!) , 'transwoman'....it's a long list!!

I love old English words for miscreants, many of which refer to thieves and vagabonds, and thus very applicable to trans who steal our identities, rights & language. They exactly describe the thieves of old: cutpurse, footpad, ne’er do well and masterless man.

I agree about Cass. And even though her review had a narrower remit than HHS, I think she could have at least made recommendations that the underlying ideology and wider ethical concerns should be reviewed.

Exactly, plus her use of their language seemed to point to the existence of the ‘true trans’ and the trans child. Doors were left open which should have been firmly closed.

Great update, Dusty. Very envious of you going to the Chelsea Flower Show though 😄

Thanks, Becca.

We go every year. It's great. We are reclaiming it for the hoi polloi 😂

I will try and include some photos in the next update
