@Flick I met Nimco in Bristol, way back, when she was involved with Bristol Integrate, an anti-FGM charity run by teenagers of all races, in a Bristol Academy school. (It's now a national charity). She was then ostracized by the lefties in the Labour party/city council, who thought the Somali community was their own personal fiefdom. They couldn't stand it when she became an adviser to the Tory government on FGM. They hated her even more when she was awarded an OBE in 2019.
Her book "What we're told not to talk about" is a collection of stories from fgm survivors. Well worth adding to your Christmas List.

@FeartnTired@EatKnitSleep2@mk I joined in April 2020 (on my other account which is now defunct)! I tell women in LWS to join spinster and get away from the Transhumanist swill of Twatter.
She directed me to the "female" razors - all decked out in pink wrappings and massively expensive. She also directed me to the "male" razors- all in blue, and - strangely - in the "babies toiletries" aisle!
But the funniest part was that 2 young women, (one a TIF with scrubby stubble, they looked identical, must have been sisters) were also bemused by the female razors! I had a short jokey conversation with them about where the men's razors were, we all went over to them, and compared the dirt-cheap prices to the lady razors!
With them and me (wearing my Suffragette gloves & poppy and with my Love Darlington Nurses badge) in the shop at the same time, it was funny how it was ME who the assistant couldn't figure out what I was, male or female. And it was the TIF and her friend who were browsing the 'female' razors!
@LadyMont We live in the age of The Great Dumbing. Who needs a brain when we have external brains ("Smartphones")? But it suits our governments. Dumb slaves are happy slaves.
@KeepTakingTheSoma@HebrideanHecate@Flick Having said all that, Maths and Stats is one area where you really can't indulge in too many delusions. Otherwise you'd get all the answers wrong. (ONS cough cough "trans" in the census cough cough)!
It was sent in the post. It wasn't anonymous, it was addressed to me. So the first time they sent it I threw it in the bin, because I didn't trust myself to be polite, and I worried how it might affect the way they deal with us in future (this is how officialdom keeps you under the thumb).
Most of the survey was just bland questions. But I took huge delight in writing "DON'T BE SILLY" next to "Man, Woman or Other"!
If as a result they discriminate against me and refuse to do my Carer's Assessment next year, so be it. I will put the FSU onto them! It's time to stop kowtowing to this absolute bs.
@KeepTakingTheSoma Yeh I love all Sir Terry's books, especially his "children's" books. Mrs Tachyon, the homeless woman with her shopping bags of Time, is a genius invention!
