Amazement
It seems that the Royal College of Psychiatrists is hosting a conference called “Transgender: Time to change”. I agree, it is time to change, but time to change for the better. Unfortunately, the inclusion of Julie Bindel, a transphobic radical feminist on the panel gives me little hope that this will be anything near that. [...]

Yes, you read that properly. Please, don’t bother checking the calendar, I already did: We’re still in the 21st Century! Unbelievably, Texan right-wingers are trying to oust the Speaker of the Texas State House because he’s not a Christian.

This week-end, a transphobic nut job left a comment on one of my posts which was of a nature I refuse to approve (it was a derogatory rant and we have enough of those on the net as it is). As is my habit, however, I dropped a note explaining why it wasn’t approved which [...]

This Monday, I approached my boss to start working with him on when I could have my surgery. I’ve finally put together the money after having lost it twice (with the failure of my company in 2006 and losing my job in 2008) so I am rather sensitive about having this done as soon as [...]
One thing which I am very proud of is how so many of Western Europe’s states maintain a strict division between church and state. Even Italy, the country with the heart of Catholicism at its core, is taking great steps to make laws which match the modern world. So, I’m afraid that I got very, [...]

Pretty much every Western government has an organisation charged with making sure that what we eat, drink and take as medicine is safe for us. Every time we put a piece of food in our mouths, every time we read the list of chemicals on the side of a can of soft drink we place [...]
