A trans person is going to have taken a lot of artificial hormones, maybe for a long time, so they’re going to be as untypically male as they are female (whichever way they transition), much like an intersex person.

As a monist (in the mind-body sense) I would view trans people…[Read more]

In fact, I’m sure that was part of her lawyers’ argument – that she was born, brought up and identifies as female.

I really hate this case, because I can’t see a “fair” solution. CS is an incredible athlete, but it does seem that she has a genetic advantage over other women that means competition against her is less than…[Read more]

The end of an era? Argentina were terrible. Lethargic, sloppy, lacking imagination, unable to string two passes together, crosses going clear over the head of everyone. Messi was peripheral, and infected by the same sloppiness as the rest of them.

They maybe lacked a bit of guile. They need to sharpen up the finishing a bit and maybe a little more luck with some of the refereeing decisions.

Difficult with our busy lifestyles but essential, and more so as you get older.
Get some easy food in, turn off your phone, arrange for a friend to do the horse.
Get up late, read a book, have a nap, keep warm, go to bed early.
Get up next day, feeling great. If not, repeat.

Look at the amount of women on the pill- surely that’s got to have an effect, then there’s soya which can mimic hormones (if you believe some research) and other chemicals we are consuming/have around us. It can’t be good for us in any way, shape or form. Sadly we have very little control over it.
