I will be in London next week, July 14 to July 20, with Redbird and Cattitude. Might any of you fine people be interested in getting together there? We are covid-cautious in the sense of masks or outdoors, and of course we'll mask outdoors if anyone else wants. We will have a garden in Finchley and I hear tell there are other pleasant outdoor spaces in London.

I'd also be delighted to hear of interesting places one might look at. Especially ones that don't require too much walking. I'd love to see Kew Gardens, but there are joint limitations to be considered.

I noticed something when I used public toilets in London a couple of months ago. For years, I've been seeing UK TERFs absolutely freak out about the possibility that a transwoman might be in a stall next to a ciswoman. So I somehow thought they were less private than the stalls here. Or at least no more private. The standard I'm accustomed to is that the doors come down to about knee height, maybe a little lower. (Plenty of space to run a mop under them.) The public toilets I used in London had doors that almost touched the tops of my shoes! And the doors closed with proper hinges, without big gaps on the hinge side.

I've always known the TERFs were outrageous bullies, but it was so weird to see this particular wrongness. It's like they've been saying they hate people because it's raining outside, and then it turns out it wasn't even raining?
