So a person with a vulva and a short blind-ending vagina, with internal testes and no uterus (i.e.: someone with androgen insensitivity syndrome) is categorically a woman? How much of a vagina do you need to have to be a woman?

Ok but what determines sex?

So a trans woman who looks feminine is a woman as far as you’re concerned?

I’m curious as to what exactly your criteria are for defining someone as male or female.

So many people just conveniently ignoring the mental health angle. God forbid we ever acknowledge that rich people can have problems and that an issue might not be black and white.

I work with nurses and a good ward nurse is worth much more than £22k. It’s not a great wage for what they do and combined with taking away the student nurse bursaries discourages people from a career in nursing. But that’s kind of subjective. Most agency nurses I’ve worked with are relatively new to the UK, in my…

Yeah but nurses get paid shite so what can you expect?

The current law on abortion (excepting Northern Ireland, as always) requires two doctors to sign of on the risk of continuing the pregnancy being greater than the risk of the abortion. As in early pregnancy this is always true due to the inherent risks of pregnancy, it allows de facto abortion on demand. As things…

I have a lot of nostalgic fondness for the series and Salem the animatronic monstrosity.

Nah, if it’s actually an adaption of Chilling Adventures it’ll be lighter on the teen drama, heavier on the Satan worship.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a great comic though. It sounds like it won’t be your cup of tea, but I am very pleased it’s getting an adaptation. I need more human sacrifice in my teen drama!

Both do it. In my experience mostly men inserting random objects for pleasure, women inserting sharp things as a form of self harm. Neither has a monopoly on either though. Then there are the times the prison has a crackdown on mobile phones...

Interesting. In the C of I you can’t take communion until you are confirmed.

Sacrifices must be made in the war on terror. Maybe he can stand on the White House roof and do semaphore.

I would bet money that the person who planted this bomb turns out to be British. They almost always are.

It’s an odd name for a group run by people not on the spectrum. Isn’t it more “people without autism speak on behalf of autism”?

I’m never sure how much of that is not realising that measles can be life threatening (and thinking of it like chickenpox) and how much is thinking that autism is a fate worse than death. Which is nonsense, obviously.

Haha, I always heard that the “great imitator” was lupus.

Oh god, the anti-vaxxers. The UK unvaccinated cohort have reached the age where they go to music festivals and give each other measles. Highlight of my ward round was when the 20 year old we had just treated for measles associated pneumonia swore at us because the consultant suggested she should get caught up on her…

These con artists enrage me.
