All this news is making me physically ill. Look at the free article on Abigail Shrier’s susbstack The Truth Fairy.

Yes I have seen the article. My heart weeps for California which was my home once upon a time.

The good part is that in the UK, the mantra TWAW seems to be well and truly dead as apparently after the Bryson incident. Most sane people agree violent males should not be housed in female prisons. Anecdotal evidence is that people were booing news reports while in pubs which refered to Bryson as 'she'.

My editor has just emailed to say -- more tweaks. So it is back to the word mines for me.

Thank you. I am working on them. I have to go in with a fine scalpel.

Sounds like You're just the surgeon to perform such a delicate operation, Michelle. Again, good luck.

I haven't been spending any time on the computer, Alison, so just now read Abigail Shrier's article. TY for pointing it out, or I might-a missed it.

I agree. Physically ill. I don't even know what to say. But TY again, as glad I read it.

I’m taking a month off from social media. Can’t take that anymore, either. But Shrier’s article does make me sick. I think of all those kids who will now never get help, the collateral damage. It’s appalling.

Congratulations on deciding to take a month off SM, Alison. Good move. I hope it gives You the spaciousness to look at the world a little differently.

But the kids... Yeah, appalling.

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle...

I'd laugh at the absurdity, thinking this was fiction, if I didn't know You better. My solution to a whole host-a problems is for You folks to shave Scotland off the island and let it drop into the sea. They never cease to amaze me.

But this... This in the Netherlands is truly disgusting. I know it's too broad a brush to castigate an entire generation or two, but 25%?!?! What is the world coming to??! But mainly want to say Thank You for educating us on Holocaust remembrance day.

As well as Thank You for the whole post. TYTY, Ma'am.
