I love that TERF science is basically phrenology mixed with half remembered high school biology. Truly a titan of rational thought.

Well, I guess actually the CTA would be one of those reasons, but same  applies if they were Dutch or something

OwlFancier posted:If the trend with her books is anything to go by, she really needs an editor to produce passable work, and one of the side effects of fame is that you get to tell your editor, both professional and societal, to gently caress off. She wrote a series of completely serious books where the lead character is called Cormoran Strike, a name that would have been rejected by the Russ Abbott's Madhouse writing room.

Borrovan posted:She did write a detective novel about (cw transphobia) a transvestite who disguised himself as a woman to lure his female victims to their death, which is even less subtle than your idea tbh So my knowledge of the law comes from Irish law but it makes a little more sense here. (CW law around sexual offences.) The offence of Rape is set out in Section 2 of the Criminal Law (Rape) Act 1981. This not only defines Rape as being specifically between a Man and a Woman (this is the language used in the act.) But also that it has to consist of the act of P into the V. To get around the fact there is violence that takes other forms, there is a more expansive offence under Secrion 4 of the Criminal Law (Rape) (Ammendment) Act 1990 that covers offences such as P into the Mouth, the A or the insertion of objects into the V. Sentence wise it's identical to a Section 2 charge and is informally known by practitioners as Section 4 Rape. As far as I can see, it is wide enough to cover a multitude of potential offences and pretty much works. I know there has been lots of talk about creating a new Consolidated Sexual Offences Act to replace the existing piecemeal laws, but anytime these things come up they get abandoned due to the amount of work involved and a fear of getting something wrong. In other news, expect Boris to go back to trying to bring back his proposed law to make it so nobody can be prosecuted for anything that happened during the Troubles "for the sake of giving closure to the victims."

I believe this was under advice from her agent and/or publisher as little boys are/were less likely to pick up a book by a female author. Source: My mum was given the same advice when having her first children's book published in the early 00s. Unrelated, in PMQs today Johnson briefly muttered something about Starmer "quaffing beer" in response to a question about christmas parties. Is this a reference to anything in particular?

Miftan posted:What has actually changed? I thought you always had to reapply to go from pre settled status to settled? I'd like to know this, too - I had to apply for pre-settled, since at the time I was only in year 4 rather than year 5 of continuous residence, and then later applied for, and was granted, permanent status. They don't give you anything official, of course - no letter or anything (the paperwork all states "NOT PROOF OF STATUS"). You get a ~share code~ instead, which you have to get off the Home Office servers fresh, valid for 30 days. So I'm looking forward to getting Windrushed at the first IT upgrade.

The publishing industry is very sexist and has a belief that SFF books written by women won't sell as well - never mind that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman sold millions - so they advise female authors to use their initials rather than their full name. CJ Cherryh and NK Jemisin are examples of the practice. E:f,b (but I did go into more detail)
