No Wikipedia, I Won’t Be Making a Donation.

Try asking nicely next time. — On a recent visit to Wikipedia, I was greeted by this rather snooty pop-up message: This isn’t a paywall. We’ll cut to the chase: 98% of Wikipedia’s readers don’t give; they simply look away. All we ask is £2, or whatever seems right to you this Wednesday, before you get back…

Is a Trans Woman Also A Female?

A controversial, but very reasonable opinion. — I’ve spoken out many times in support of trans rights and against the prejudice, discrimination and bigotry trans people are sometimes subjected to. It’s a controversial opinion for which I get a considerable amount of abuse, but yes, I think women’s toilets and changing facilities should be open to all…
