Myth: "I only wear vegan fabrics. Better for the animals, better for the planet."
Let's check in on Doris's annual contribution.
Once a year, in late spring, Doris is sheared. The procedure takes approximately three minutes. Doris does not enjoy it. Doris does not, by any visible measure, suffer from it. Doris is, immediately afterwards, a noticeably more comfortable animal in the British summer.
The fleece weighs approximately 3 kilograms. It is sold to the British Wool Marketing Board for, depending on the year, between £0.40 and £2.50 per kilogram. The shearing costs more than the wool fetches. Brian is shearing Doris at a loss.
The wool is then:
- Naturally flame-retardant
- Naturally antibacterial
- Moisture-wicking
- Biodegradable
- Renewable, annually
- Carbon-storing while in use
The replacement, in performance fabrics:
- Polyester
- Polyamide
- Acrylic
- Polypropylene
- All petroleum-derived
- All shedding microplastics on every wash
- All requiring fossil fuel inputs to produce
- All non-biodegradable, with a typical landfill lifespan of 200-500 years
A single wash of a polyester fleece can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into the water system. These fibres are now in: every tested water source on earth, every tested human placenta, every tested rainfall sample, the deep ocean, the Arctic ice, and the lungs of marine mammals.
A single wash of a wool jumper releases: nothing. The wool, when eventually disposed of, returns to soil within a few years.
The fabric being marketed as the "ethical" alternative to wool is plastic.
The plastic is "ethical" because nobody has been asked to slaughter the polymer.
The polymer also has not been asked.
Doris, by being a sheep on a fell, is producing the most thoroughly sustainable performance fabric humans have ever made.
Brian is selling it at a loss.
The fashion industry, meanwhile, is selling petroleum at a profit and calling it ethical.
Reject plastic. Wear wool.
Doris is, this morning, growing next year's batch.

What utter hogwash. I hope this is just a poor attempt at parody.
Upton is not ‘transfemale’. He’s not any sort of female. He’s not any sort of woman. He’s a man with a fetish, or a delusion, or more likely both.
He didn’t say some ‘silly things’ while ‘under pressure’ in the witness box. He spoke ‘his truth’, which is that he would deliberately deceive female patients about his sex and treat them even if he knew they did not want a male doctor.
He doesn’t even use a proper definition of sex. He considers himself to actually be female.
The tribunal evidence shows Upton stated there was no obligation to disclose biological sex to a female patient who specifically requested a female doctor for intimate care. That is deliberate non-disclosure, not a “silly thing under pressure.”
Also, he explicitly stated that “biologically female” is “completely nebulous” with “no defined or agreed meaning in science” and declared “I’m biologically female”.
So you cannot possibly have actually read the transcript of his evidence to come up with your conclusions. If you have read it, you should perhaps reconsider your professional calling. My guess is you’re just hedging for points. For all your lengthy experience, I suspect you have rarely, if ever, argued a case in court or cross-examined a witness, and it shows in this comment.
And let’s face it, if he truly ‘crumbled under the pressure’ in a witness box (he didn’t), he surely isn’t competent to handle the pressure of being a doctor, especially one engaged in emergency medicine where split-second life or death decisions sometimes have to be made.
He also conducted a deliberate campaign to get a nurse sacked.
The man is a toxic narcissist who should be nowhere near medical practice. He’s not fit to be in charge of a box of plasters.
And it isn’t your place to be lecturing women on how they should respond to a colonising, misogynistic and dangerous bully. ‘Be kind’ is what got us into this mess in the first place.

@AgentP22 Sure, the prison system ideally needs reform but it’s a highly complex topic. She’s a middle class idiot who has never even met a murderer or rapist or had to live in circumstances where criminal behaviour is likely to endanger her or her family. Another mindless green fool.

@FitWithDrSam I hate couples who share an email address.It may be fine for them but not for their friends or colleagues who wish/need to discuss matters with one of them that are inappropriate to share with the other. It’s not about secrecy but normal reasonable privacy boundaries

@dobetterrrr @Amelia558rs Don’t be ridiculous! He has already shown her what he is and she needs to get out NOW. He is a selfish, coercive misogynist creep, abd things would only get worse if she stayed.

@Amelia558rs Amelia, 27 year old guys are so dumb…you need to figure out if he is a kind person that will treat you right, respect you while seeing if you can respect him. I disagree with people that say “dump him” without seeing if you can figure it out.

My boyfriend (27M) and I (23F) have been together for three years. I thought everything was fine, but about a month ago, he said he was a little bored and that we needed new stimulation. He said we should both think about this. I thought he meant, like, "let's go camping" and started making plans for something fun to do. But a week ago we talk again, and he says that he's found this girl (19?F) and she's perfect for us. That being with this girl will help him see how much he really loves me, and may even convince him to marry me (I was married for 18 months before and I'm embarrassed about being an ex-wife already).
I really didn't want to do it, but he said, "Oh that figures. It's kind of disturbing how you reject anything new." And that kind of made me feel bad?
Anyway, we finally tried to see the girl on Wednesday. She was okay, but the whole thing was too weird for me. We were sitting there awkwardly, and then out of the blue, he turns to me and commands "take your top off." I couldn't do it. I was way too nervous and everything spiralled from there. The girl left maybe 20 mins later.
Now, it's been a few days, and he won't talk to me. I'm not sure how to make him see I'm sorry.

@JeremyVineOn5 Of course it’s right. Men have
been banned from women’s sport, it’s scientifically and morally right - and it’s basic common sense. Men should never had been allowed to compete, it was always unfair and unsafe
English

@NadiaWhittomeMP Oh, don’t be ridiculous. Guides is for girls and girls are entitled by law to have single sex spaces. Boys should never have been admitted in the first place.
English

It’s devastating that Girlguiding has announced plans to exclude existing trans girl guides from September.
The Supreme Court ruling is being weaponised to bully previously inclusive organisations into abandoning members of their own community.
The government must ensure that the statutory guidance enables organisations to be inclusive and protects them from expensive anti-trans lawfare.

Remember this article from Jenni Murray in 2017. Totally reasonable, nothing extreme, just saying men can’t be women.
Then there was all the protests, calls to cancel talks, The BBC warned her, restricted her on air, and by 2020 she left Woman’s Hour.
But she never backed down, even as the pushback continued for years. This is how speaking honestly costs you in public life. But she was forever right.
Rest in peace, brave and courageous Jenni Murray.
