I am moving. So i have been sorting everything out determined that for once stuff I have lugged from once place to another and from one storage unit to another storage doesn’t happen again. I have been house sharing so my private space has been comfy yet limited. It meant some of my stuff wasContinue reading “Clearing”

I am becoming more settled about the changes that are taking place in my life and getting ready to move. Some of the anxieties are reducing and I have been able to look “outside the tent” a little more than in the past two weeks.

I have read the essay by JK Rowling (JKR) again. I feel it is unfortunate that someone with her platform of fame, wealth and following has used her position to set out her views and spread misinformation without supporting evidence. JKR has become the victim of hate abuse for she says “simply speaking the truth”.Continue reading “More thoughts”

I continue to be concerned about the issues that are constantly in the media over safe spaces. I have been looking at the history of trans rights. The first legislation of which I am aware is the Sex Discrimination Act 1971 which made it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of anatomical sex in employmentContinue reading “Safe Spaces revisited”
