Trans History (and why it matters to you) – training for NHS staff
Davison’s preferred term to discuss all things trans was the nebulous-sounding ‘transness’. Really this was so he could go ‘ooh, that’s a bit trans’ about everything.

This Cisn’t Funny! | Trans+ History Week Comedy Showcase
Diageo HQ, as you’d expect, has a real bar on site and the cocktails were high-end, some of the best I’ve ever had in fact. Predictably this led to me being pissed after the second and utterly shitfaced by the eighth. No wonder I laughed so much. It took about three days to dry out.
