RT @fasc1nate: In the 1880s, the Harvard Observatory director was frustrated with his staff, and would say "My Scottish maid could do better!" So, he hired his Scottish maid. Williamina Fleming, who discovered tens of thousands of stars and more. https://www.historydefined.net/williamina-fleming/

Dear Peter, why, as a gay man, do you go along with a homophobic gender identity ideology that does not believe in biological sex ? Trans people are already protected under 2004 GRA & 2010 Equality Act. Self ID is a no no which conflicts with women’s rights.
