Superb round up of the week's gender stories by the SEEN in journalism network: open.substack.com/pub/seeninjo...

You’ve tried romantic and maybe even tantric but have you ever thought about semantic sex? Wonderland, dusty bluebells and life as told by idiots. It could only be Day 3 of FWS v the Scottish government. genderblog.net/fws-day-3-se...

Scottish govt says it accepts Supreme Court ruling on sex, but "if the answer to this case was considered to lie in that decision, the Scottish ministers would have applied it. We are here because the answer is not considered to lie in that decision.” Bold. genderblog.net/fws-day-2-da...

With Johnny Depp's Hollywood Vampires touring England in August, you might be interested in reading about his life through the lens of his court battles with Amber Heard. Drugs, alcohol, faeces, destruction, dog smuggling and pure Hollywood excess: bathpublishing.com/products/dep...

Seen in Journalism's substack round up of gender stories in the news... "From the Darlington nurses, to Jennifer Melle, to Allison Bailey, to the puberty blockers briefing at the House of Lords, and more. We needed to catch up - if you do too - here:" seeninjournalism.substack.com/p/big-storie...

A green levy on gas boilers could form part of the govt’s new Warm Homes Plan in January. “We know that heat pumps will get a lot cheaper over time,” @shaunspiers1.bsky.social of Green Alliance tells @nickwallis.bsky.social on Times Radio.

In this riveting book by @nickwallis.bsky.social there’s an important question: why did the Asian sub postmasters get so much longer prison sentences?

I have written up former Subpostmaster Lee Castleton OBE's first day back at the High Court after the Bates v Post Office litigation in 2019. I have also posted all the skeleton arguments and his originating claim. www.postofficescandal.uk/post/the-tri...

One of the best (and shortest, busy friends) podcast series you will ever listen to. If you thought The Great Post Office Trial was picking at an open wound, give Pride and Predator a go. You can't give a safeguarding pass to any group, ever. juliebindel.substack.com/s/pride-and-...

Popped out to get a paper copy of the Mail on Sunday today - this is what the article looks like laid out on paper. Do get a paper copy if you want to read it like this, or see below for a link to the online piece!

Very pleased to have made the cover of today’s YOU Magazine with this story. It took about a month to put together. www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/ar...

I stumbled across Reduxx Mag and subsequently became an avid reader.They are committed and superb. Never take seriously anyone who claims trans women are women. Never take seriously anyone talking about gender if they claim not to have read Reduxx. Happy holidays!

A long read for the holidays... genderblog.net/mandy-clare-... @MandyClareTERF

Barrister acting for Post Office who broke the rules in the Criminal Appeals court will not be sanctioned. Nick Vamos, an employed barrister at Peters and Peters "was not authorised to conduct litigation". More here: postofficescandal.uk/post/no-acti... #PostOfficeScandal

Saw this inspiring post on the blog of @nickwallis.bsky.social today. Three brave young students at Cambridge fight back at utterly pervasive and aggressive trans indoctrination. I wish them every possible success and hope other intimidated students find some hope. genderblog.net/cambridge-st...

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

I got the first interview with Graham Linehan after his conviction criminal damage. www.thetimes.com/article/b914...

This article makes you feel sad, fearful and finally angry at the fuckers who decided to green light this experiment on kids. I defy any supporter of this trial to read it and still think it’s a grand idea. www.spiked-online.com/2025/11/27/w...

Two clinicians who blew the whistle on what was happening to children at the Tavistock have written an open letter to Wes Streeting warning him the new puberty blocker trial risks "repeating the very errors" they helped uncover. Read the letter in full: genderblog.net/tavistock-wh...

Hello! I have started a new blog and have reposted, with kind permission, a looong but superb essay by the lawyer Peter Daly on how institutions start to believe they are morally superior and cause harm as a result. Please read, comment and share as you see fit: genderblog.net/captured-ins...

I really hope this is a good review. Ah well, even if it's not...

This Friday I will be at the Otley Courthouse in Yorkshire with former Subpostmaster Janet Skinner to talk about the Post Office scandal. The evening event is sold out, but there are still tickets for the 2pm talk. Come along if you can! #Otley otleycourthouse.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Listening to more of @nickwallis book, I’ve never heard the term “Malicious Prosecution” before, but I can’t think of any better description for what POL did to the SPM. They pursued baseless prosecutions solely in an attempt to file POCA claims to recover money.

Is this place worth it? Or any less of a potential hellsite?

More Singh'd against than Singh-ing. The Post Office's former Head of Criminal Law reveals himself to be an incoherent clown. It would be funny had he not helped give innocent people criminal convictions. postofficescandal.uk/post/more-sing… #PostOfficeScandala#PostOfficeInquiryry

It’s very unlikely I will ever have two books published in 12 months, so forgive me if this gets a bit relentless in the run up to xmas but do consider The Great Post Office Scandal and/or Depp v Heard: the unreal story as presents for the book lover in your life.

Someone’s been drinking.

I agree.
