Heard it's good but I haven't read it. The writer, Garth Ennis, had a pretty gnarly Punisher run that I quite like.

And I would love your thoughts on all those.

And he's Irish I'm told too. What was the other big thing he did? I definitely remember reading about his making some splash, either with Batman or Sandman? Or was that something else?

Anyway, cool. Perhaps I'll throw a small journal together as I go.

Yes he's Northern Irish. Lol in his Punisher series he had an IRA storyline with an IRA terrorist who has to wear a clear plastic mask over his face cause all the skin was blown off or something.

And aside from Preacher his other big series is The Boys, so I assume he's rich now.

London mayor announces Transgender Awareness Week

I'd like to raise awareness of this story from today:

Transwoman appointed CEO of endometriosis charity

Quote:

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. Endometriosis can start at a person's first menstrual period and last until menopause.

Nothing inherently wrong with this appointment if this person is a better administrator and fundraiser than the other candidates for the post. You don't have to be a cancer patient or survivor to be a great fundraiser for cancer research and awareness.

But in the context of the debate on the broader issue of political demands, this doesn't sound like "we just want to be left alone" (a demand which no one but the most hardened religious fundamentalists and the mentally insane would have an issue with). It's more along the lines "I will strut my stuff in the women's locker room and there's nothing you can do to stop me"

To own me with this stuff all you have to do is google Michel Foucault. It's right there. Some of it is sleazy right wing smears, some of it (including the deep cuts, which the idiots looking for dirt on him never get to anyway) should make any sane person uncomfortable.

I knew what it meant but not how to pronounce it, I do now though, thanks!

As the Scandinavian countries backtrack on chemical castration of minors,

A new NHS trans scandal is now unfolding across Britain

Quote:

Given the growing furore over their use, this week’s news that NHS use of so-called “puberty blockers” for trans-identified children has doubled in a year might seem surprising. It comes despite growing concern about the safety of blockers, and is accompanied by doubts about the drugs’ capacity to do much to alleviate mental health issues – a key reason cited for their introduction in the first place.
