I achieved my 'white-collar' vocational qualifications (I have 3 A-Level equivalents): one through work training, one via a grant-funded women's group, (women's small business federation) and one only in the last year, which I paid for (£400), and these qualifications are recognised by all UK employers.
Apart from that, I have 2 trade-specific qualifications, also studied for through the workplace/Union involved.
I never needed a degree, and nor did my contemporaries. Out of 2000 kids In my last year at school, I doubt if more than 3 went to University.
@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain@KeepTakingTheSoma It costs £29,000 for a full 3 year degree through a University. And that's just the degree, never mind additional costs like accommodation. Most people can't afford that.
It's no wonder people go to A&Es with non urgent conditions, because who trusts the internet for advice? We all prefer to see a real health professional. The A&E has taken over from the doctor's waiting room. I've just started having Ocular Migraine Aura (without headache, just a sort of numb head feeling afterwards). No idea why, (never had Migraine before) so I am taking the internet doctor's advice to keep a diary.
Maybe the next time we will get to see our GPS in rl is when they visit us in the Nursing Home, who knows? 🙄

RadicalCartoonsJean is 100% right. This is the new version of the male mid-life crisis, it gives these vile men the excuses they need to: bully and abuse their wives, abandon their children or use them in divorce court mind games; and leave her for a younger model. Men have ALWAYS done this, just nowadays throwing on a frock makes it easy. I have been saying this ever since I first took notice of this shit, (when I was cancelled, February 2020) my 'peak trans' moment.
@AnungIkwe Pretty much what I said in my latest substack.
The brutal murder of Ann Widdecombe reminds us again of men's hatred of women who have the temerity to enter public life. https://share.google/Oe6r6bkD1U4I1OYCH
(And in present day Iran and Afghanistan, where it is also used predominantly to get women arrested).
Troons and their TRAs & handmaidens provide a ready pool of neighbourhood spies, for the next time we have a mass civil defence exercise like the Covid lockdowns.
