Okay, my first complaint is that Dawson claimed to have only written the speech the day before. No, just no. No, you did not write your fucking speech only the day before, Dawson. Not possible. What a lie! Second complaint – okay, not really a complaint, more just noting how utterly predictable a TIM is – an ill-judged joke (for that audience) about lubricant. Dear reader, we were just two minutes in.

Documentary review: Heightened Scrutiny
Beginning with portentous music and court scenes, Heightened Scrutiny follows the story of pip-squeak lawyer, Chase Strangio, a trans-identified female working for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), as she attempts to persuade the courts – and us – that GnRH agonists are, in fact, life saving healthcare for pre- and -pubescent children. A vast array of talking heads are employed throughout, who are mostly media persons, all onside the trans activist narrative. The main message: Bodily autonomy, first. Of course, the nebulous-sounding ‘trans bodies’ are under attack and the threat of violence and suicide ever present.
Lecture on Gender, Sex and the Law, a UCL Law Event
Shaz was there at the beginning of it all, i.e. the 2004 Gender Recognition Act (GRA). There had been a Telegraph article titled: Gender is no substitute for sex. (In fact, the article is no such thing, rather a jokey piece written by the Telegraph’s sketch writer, worth reading, especially for a dig at a young David Lammy, being unsure about sexual reproductive anatomy.) Anyway, Shaz appeared to think it a monumental article on the GRA, and although it’s true that the proposed bill slipped under the radar at the time, surely she could have a found a more serious (?feminist) critique to direct law students to?

Are you kink curious?
Kink play is an ’emotionally rich’ but ‘confusing terrain’ to be in. This was due to ‘social taboo’, of course, rather than normal psychological responses we experience in response to danger. For example, when engaging in ‘blood play’ and other types of dangerous BDSM, we needed to think ‘about our triggers’ and ‘how to keep things grounded’ (which is a contradiction in terms and surely laying the foundation for making yourself vulnerable to coercion).
