Have Poundland shops been closing in your parts? We've had 3 close in recent times near me. Liverpool's Queen's Square shop, St Helens' Church Street Shopping Centre, and the one in Huyton.

Since no one has commented on it, the Government has urged Train Operators to scrap plans to close Ticket Offices. Which is interesting, because it was the Government's plans to close them in the first place. There was little interest from the operators in mass closures until they were instructed t...

I also think another issue that non gender normative people suffer is that some people do use confusing pronouns that are not mainstream, and are hard to grasp for people. I am not saying one size fits...

I think calling it 'This gender stuff' is a bit generalised. But, from my point of view: 1. Biological sex is just that. Biological.
