Australia has legalised misogynist bullying of women.
My penalty for being guilty of "unlawful vilification" has been handed down. In summary $95,000 in fines which will double if I don't pay in 28 days. The orders also state I need to issue a public apology. I will be appealing the decision. Your support, your voice and your

What a great improvement, @AklTransport. USB power points for every seat on this western line train. Nga mihi nui.

Hi name was Crucible, The Crusty. Goodbye, sweet bird. Your time with Ms15 was short, but filled with excitement and entertainment. He was a wonderful mascot. She never forget how you used to strut around and peck at the ground.

Mrs Pook sensibly banned it from coming inside the house So it was put in the playhouse in the garden for the night. This morning it is an ex-pigeon. Ms15 is claiming it froze to death overnight, even though the temp didn't fall below about 17°C.

The camp people told them it was probably going to die and to leave it alone but she felt sorry for it and couldn't leave it behind. Somehow she convinced the school to let her capture it and bring it back on the bus from the Coromandel.

Ms15 came back from school camp with a pigeon. A living bird. Apparently it was hanging around camp looking sickly so they started feeding it and adopted it as their group mascot.

Important perspective on in-source fragmentation in #metabolomics. https://t.co/YUxCsl6myn
pubs.acs.org
In/postsource fragments (ISFs) arise during electrospray ionization or ion transfer in mass spectrometry when molecular bonds break, generating ions that can complicate data interpretation. Although...

Ms15 is at school camp on the Coromandel so I am starting to get a little worried about this severe weather warning for the Bay of Plenty. Dangerous thunderstorms over north Auckland at the moment too.

Stay informed and get prepared with current weather warnings and watches. Get alerts for severe weather and other hazards affecting New Zealand.

Be nice? Yes, let's be nice. What is NOT nice is hormonally or surgically mutilating children, cheating your way to stealing women's athletic medals, lying your way into women's spaces, debauching language etc.
'He has a point, but he's too blunt.' From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture

"It's too hard to find the 2000 children we already experimented on so we need to experiment on 200 more" is not ethical.
Around 2000 children have been given puberty blockers over the years. Why aren’t the outcomes for these children being looked at first? The Cass report recommended this data linkage study was done, yet Government is moving straight to a clinical trial.

READ: https://t.co/OD1rc76sDB PATHA & the activist networks dont care about puberty blockers in a meaningful sense. If they did, they would've spent the last decade demanding proper trials, long-term studies, & transparent data, not fighting tooth & nail to avoid all 3.

Here's yet another study showing that kids who get smartphones earlier have worse mental health as teens. So what's the right age for a first smartphone? I'd say its whatever age you want them to cut back on sleeping, reading, exercise, and socializing. I advise not doing that

Researchers found higher rates of depression, poor sleep and obesity among tweens who had early access to a cellphone.

We are quoted in the Sunday Times today on the puberty blocker trial. There is no ethical justification for this trial. @NHSEngland should have compelled the gender clinics to hand over anonymised patient data, why didn’t they? Surely these clinics followed up with their

- Women have smaller, more curved vessels and larger inflow angles - Men had larger diameters - Low shear zones shifted inward in females, outward in males 👉 These flow signatures may explain sex-specific patterns of plaque formation and SCAD risk 🤯 🔗 https://t.co/WK3jOhhJW8

@KatKarena If you read PATHA's documentation they have gone ahead & released an earlier version that was blocked until the results of the p blocker consultation were out. They did this without approval from HNZ and did not remove HNZ's logo, trying to give the impression these are official

@KatKarena They are not official Te Whatu Ora guidelines. PATHA has gone rogue.
