If you're wondering why there's been a few days without news of English judges allowing paedophiles free to repeat their crimes, it's because it's a Bank Holiday weekend here, and the courts aren't in session.
Presumably the Scottish criminal 'justice' system is continuing to let rapists free today today as usual.

It seems clear that the Equality Act definition of sexual orientation does not refer to sexual practices but the sex of the person, but maybe she's hoping to trip up one of the Government to find out if they've been lobbied to add anything to that PC's definition.

Either there was evidence to suggest a child was at risk or there wasn't, ffs. Whether or not a riot ensued should have no bearing on the decision.
But it wouldn't surprise me if the safeguarding of children is sacrificed for 'the good of the community' in this case. That's what happened / is still happening with grooming gangs.

Does it make a difference what time of day you take it? If you take it at night, for instance, is the worst of the fatigue during the night? Or is it all the time anyway?
I've also been told (by pharmacists) that the fatigue adverse effect gradually wears off after 2-3 weeks... so fingers crossed for you.

Ha. That reminds me of when a mental health NHS trust I once worked at decided it would be a good idea to pay one of their service users to paint individual portraits of their board members. It was a great wheeze on her part, of course, but the results were too hideous to hang in public parts of the hospital. Total waste of taxpayers money.

University lecturer in genetics and broadcaster who specialises in explaining science to the public claims not to know about systematic reviews.
That's quite the admission of incompetence. I hope it comes up in his annual appraisal at UCL, as it's a level of ignorance that is not compatible with continuing to lecture in his field. I'm sure it'll be a boon for his BBC broadcasting career though.

I've met men who were adamant that "It's not the same."
Men coming on to them IS creepy and weird, but men saying the same things to women is just a 'normal' interaction. These same men also believed that men being raped by a man is a more serious crime than a woman being raped by a man because 'stigma'.
I made sure never to be on my own in a room with those men.

Women in England and Wales:
https://bpas-campaigns.org/campaigns/time-to-act/
Did you know that women in England and Wales can get a life sentence for inducing their own abortion "illegally" i.e. without getting doctor's permission (buying pills online, for instance)?
So, if you've been raped, found yourself pregnant and can't face seeing a doctor, you could end up with a much longer sentence than the rapist (in the increasingly unlikely event that the rapist even gets taken to court).
This isn't a theoretical issue. In the last 12 months, according to The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, 6 women have been taken to court for inducing abortion to end her own pregnancy.
BPAS have a template letter online to write to your MP.

Being barred from ever working in health services again isn't enough for this ghoul. Being sued for every penny she's ever made won't be enough. She needs the same punishment as those convicted of FGM: 14 years in prison according to this BBC article. Multiply that by the number of people she has mutilated. She should rot in jail for the rest of her life.

There's already an in-care to child-trafficking pipeline in many countries. It makes sense that child-traffickers would want to put these kids on puberty blockers, so they're saleable to paedophiles for longer. Perverts in positions of authority can now also get their grubby hands on lobbying funds from pharmaceutical firms so their opportunities to cause harm to kids will keep on multiplying.

First line, the bogus 'nurse' is a woman ('a woman pretending to be a nurse was able to assist with the care of a patient and access sensitive medical records'). But then there's this clumsy sentence halfway through:
'the person - who identified themselves as an agency nurse - was handed the treatment plans of the patients'.
Seems like unnecessary grammatical gymnastics if it was actually a woman.
Any local news? This was in St Andrews Community Hospital in Fife.

This is the man who turned up in a cocktail dress to a Genspect conference last week (not sure of exact date) and when women pointed out the red flags of his paraphilias, the Genspect organisers ridiculed the women raising concerns. Now, here he is, opining on 'destigmatising' paedophilia. None of the women raising the original concerns about this pervert are surprised of course.

These men probably watched TV shows in their childhood where a robot was a kid's best friend, and thought 'I want that!' Then, 30 years later, they still don't have the maturity to realise that all the dialogue from the robot-buddy was written by a human being, not by an actual robot.

Dreams like that leave you feeling panicky for a while, don't they.
I sometimes have dreams that one of my kids has gone missing, that I'm scrabbling around in their cot, looking for my tiny baby underneath the blankets, but they're not where I left them. Even though I remind myself once awake that it's been years since I put them down in a cot to sleep (they're in their teens and early 20s now), it takes a while for the anxiety to subside so I can go back to sleep.
Fortunately, I also have less stressful dreams, such as one the other night about potatoes. Proper Spinster dream, that :D I didn't dream of eating them though, because they were muppet potatoes that were singing.

If someone said to me, "You look like a lesbian", I'd probably say "thanks" or "OK," with an added shrug.
Even if that policewoman thought she could tell from the tone that it was meant to be taken as an insult, she made an active choice to interpret the words as such. "You look like a lesbian" is only an insult to a homophobe.
But on top of that, police enjoy dragging young women around and terrifying them. If a burly 6'4" man had said, 'You look like a lesbian," I doubt there would have been the same response.

This disgusting rapist MAN seems to be seeking to profit from his crime - the only reason he is in a position to ask the newspaper for £1000 is because he is in prison for rape.

If the law specified exposure of genitals, then there wouldn't be any problems with breastfeeding.
There must be a way to specify in law that unless an area has its own rules allowing nudity, then anyone over the age of say, 10, is not allowed to expose their genitals. Beaches, and some other places, could then be designated whether or not nudity is allowed and then people can choose whether to go there or not. I.e we can consent. I don't see how that would be too difficult for councils to manage. They already specify that some beaches are for dogs, while others don't allow dogs, for example.
The law as it stands focuses on the intention to cause offence, which is too open in my opinion. All that a pervert has to say is "but I didn't mean to cause offence" and he's off the hook.

UK women: Petition
Make indecent exposure an offence regardless of intent
Indecent exposure, intentional or not, should be classed as a sexual offence. No-one should expose themselves in public places, and in the event that they do so, they should not be able to claim they weren't intending to cause offence. We believe the current law provides too much leeway.
The Government must amend this offence so that exposing yourself in public places is an offence, and at no point can there be any grey areas on this. We believe this must be taken seriously, with changes to legislation to broaden this offence, so that there is no ambiguity as to whether an offence has been committed. We hope this can result in actions being taken against perpetrators before their actions escalate.
