  • Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, New Research Shows

    Jump

  • Fascinating. It doesn't look like they controlled for height/weight so it's not surprising that the grip strength of TW was so much higher than for CW. Agree with their conclusion that a larger cohort is needed for a longitudinal study rather than a cross-sectional one.

  • Michael Mosley: Body found in Symi search for missing presenter

    Jump

  • I'm just repeating what was going round on social media a while back. His own account of when he started working for the BBC doesn't line up with him finishing uni.

    And all docs go on the gmc register during their final year (known as provisional registration), this is to allow them to do their 'house' jobs.

  • He certainly studied it for a bit, but he never graduated and has never been on the gmc register. He was in the same year as his wife who graduated in 1986 (she is on the register), he started working for the BBC in 1985....

  • Read between the lines. Just because the formality of identification hasn't been stamped and filed yet doesn't mean the journalists reporting this have no idea its him. Its clearly him, this sort of thing happens all the time. Cf "he died after a long illness" being code for "cancer".

  • What a tragedy. Why did he leave his phone behind and walk out solo after being warned about the heat?

    I wonder if there really was something to those rumours about him not being a real doctor and the GMC investigating.

  • Reform UK pulls to within two points of Tories in latest YouGov poll

    Jump

  • I predict they will formally merge with Reform UK during the next election cycle. Too much money behind them for them to just disappear into the political wilderness.

  • UK clothing sales to EU plummet as Brexit red tape deters exporters

  • Disaster capitalists.

  • UK government bans private puberty blocker prescriptions for trans youth

    Jump

  • It is not a pointless difference. The use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists have been banned in the UK for the treatment of gender dysphoria. They are of course still available for treating precocious puberty, regardless of how anyone identifies.

    Jump

  • They aren't banned for kids who suffer from dysphoria. They are banned from being used as a treatment for dysphoria. Important difference.

  • UK government bans private puberty blocker prescriptions for trans youth

    Jump

  • They aren't banned for use as a treatment for precocious puberty, which presumably is something anyone can suffer from trans or otherwise.

  • Transkids get access to these drugs just as easily as ciskids.

  • Loaded magazine returns to reassure men they can ‘ogle beautiful women’

    Jump

  • I was too busy ogling women from the 90's.

  • Loaded magazine returns to reassure men they can ‘ogle beautiful women’

    Jump

  • We are targeting the original Loaded audience who are now living happily at home with their wife and kids but still reminisce about their nights spent clubbing until 3am, drinking £1 shots, with a bedroom covered in posters of half-naked women,” Levy said.

    So it's 'tosstalgia' then?

  • Insulation scandal: ‘I have to scrape mould off the walls every two weeks'

    Jump

  • But just imagine the horror we'd be living through if Corbyn got in!

  • Post Office scandal: Police to deploy 80 detectives for criminal inquiry

    Jump

  • Oh good, hopefully the low-level bastards involved in this will roll over on the higher-ups under threat of imprisonment.

  • Talk to Jesus Ouija Board. Yes, this is a real product.

    Jump

  • Some people are just allergic to money.

  • Rishi Sunak announces 4 July general election

    Jump

  • Well, now you've just made me feel old.

  • Maybe back up a few steps...
