My funny, exuberant, wildly unconventional dad died a couple of weeks ago. We haven't been able to have a funeral as mum and I decided that being only allowed two of us would feel like everyone else had died as well. Here are a few photos of the inimitable John Dee.

WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN. We are women, human females. We are not non-men, we are not menstruators and cervix-havers. We are women. We do not have to be nice or quiet. We do not have to budge up. We do not have to give away our words or accept new ones. We are women.

I’m 58, there aren’t many surprises any more but I’m constantly disappointed that men aren’t embarrassed being seen to be misogynistic. Izzard refuses to hear women’s concerns, swats us away, calls us old fashioned, out dated. Would he do this with any other oppressed group?

During the peak years of the AIDS epidemic I was working in schools to educate young people about safe sex, getting dragged off stage for contravening Section 28, and working in Romania to counteract the grotesque homophobia that was preventing HIV education. Fuck your misogyny.

I do not feel included or progressed. Using womxn highlights that you are now centring males and are busy reinforcing the barriers women still face. Women reject the word cis, we are not a type of woman - we ARE women.

I ran a theatre in education co for over 20 years. Every aspect of our work had consent & safeguarding at its heart. Every local authority & school had access to our material so they could deem it suitable. I cannot believe how you decided on these costumes or got the commission.

Getting the diagnosis from a private clinic.
A family member works for an NHS autism service, they diagnose approx 30% of referred patients with autism. But pay for your diagnosis and there’s approx 80% chance you’ll be told you have autism.

I deeply resent the suggestion that I am right wing because I object to the erasure of the word woman. The word woman is fit for purpose, it is clearly understood as representing adult human female and it is certainly not up to men to redefine it. And only women can get pregnant.
