Maybe something like this. Lovely. Even more heartwarming. RCN, bringing people together. Aw.

I’m sure all the nurses are very excited about the forthcoming TERF range in the RCN merch shop 😂
Oh the shenanigans. Enjoyed Naomi’s “parallel universe” comment too.

I occasionally search the word 'Oasis' in my mailbox just in case I happened to have missed an email coming in somewhere. I don't find anything. Then I make a sadface.

Almost 800,000 nurses in the UK, of which (the internet tells me) around 89% are female, yet the decision-makers and leaders at RCN are male. Just a little observation. Carry on.

Can't be certain but I think I heard the RCN basically saying "yeah the last time we handled things like this and treated someone in this way was with a woman who was a covid denier and conspiracy theorist" yikes for a few reasons.

Two Scottish tribunals against unions on today - how depressing - will need to keep an eye on both @tribunaltweets and @tribunaltweets2
We hope to report from the Court of Session today from 10 am. Two members of Community, the union, have brought a judicial review against Community.

ChatGPT has been sooooo slow and jittery the last week or two. I've noticed a big drop in performance. No idea why. Same in both desktop app and browser versions.

What’s the German word for that thing where you broadly agree with a political principle but some people express it so fkn stupidly, hysterically and counterproductively that you find yourself criticising them more than those whose principles you actually oppose?

Tribunals use the strangest timings. Tonnes of activity in the morning, a late lunch, then like one hour of work before everyone packs up and heads home.

Imagine if a black child said to their parents: “I was born the wrong colour. I should be white.” Would the parents say, “We believe you,” and try to have their child’s skin colour medically altered?
Would progressives celebrate the child “coming out” as white, and praise the parents? Or would they react with horror, and question why the child could possibly hold such a bizarre belief. Might they look for answers in modern, online culture, or perhaps ingrained racism and attitudes towards skin colour in wider society?
Okay, the answers to these hypothetical questions are obvious. You can’t be born the “wrong” colour, ethnicity or race. Any child who thought they had been would receive help, support and counselling - not a trip to a skin-bleaching clinic.
And yet some people on the political left regard it as compassionate and necessary to affirm a child who believes they were “born in the wrong body”, even where that may ultimately lead towards ruinous, irreversible medical interventions. They believe this so strongly, they want to stop parents even questioning their confused child’s viewpoint.
Why is one response regarded as obviously ridiculous and disturbing, while the other has been presented as kindness?
Make it make sense.
