Not quite sure which newspaper this is from, but regardless: all of this. Love Sandi Toksvig

especially angry by how many
"radical feminists" attack trans people.
"How could you be so white and privileged and heterosexual and never marginalised in your life yet you decide to punch down on people?"
I say they fear - for example - that trans women will occupy safe spaces meant for women, such as public lavatories. "I don't get this. I'm in my 45th year in showbusiness, travelling the country touring. I've been to every service-station toilet in the country.
Every one has a sign up saying male cleaners in attendance. I don't recall anybody saying, 'We need to group up against these male cleaners. Why would someone dress as a woman when they could just pick up a cleaning cloth? If it really bothers you there's a toilet some place else. Go there. Shut up. Let's join together and fight stuff that actually needs fighting. Why are they talking about this when women in Afghanistan are not allowed to sing or to look a man in the face? Who is benefiting from all this? The patriarchy

"When you’re faced with a real apocalypse, daydreams about retreating from the world behind steel doors start to seem not just embarrassing but sociopathic. I started to think about what it'd take to protect not just me but all of us" @alexevansuk.bsky.socialalexevansuk.substack.com/p/the-r-word

Sure, I'm in a good location for buses (Reading). And when a complex system fails, it doesn't fail uniformly. We really should teach policy works a version of systems theory that includes a theory of failure
