"An appeal found the tribunal had erred in law and another should take place."
"...today’s judgement establishing that a belief in biological sex is protected under the Equality Act."
These two quotes seem to be at odds with one another - one saying "go back and look at it properly this time," the other "it was wrong, end of story."...

An appeal found the tribunal had erred in law
Maya Forstater has won her appeal. Excellent news: A woman who lost her job after saying that people cannot change their biological sex has won an appeal against an employment tribunal. Maya Forstater, 47, did not have her contract renewed after posting tweets on gender recognition. She lost her...

But.. which buttons have genitalia - how can you tell? Or do you just have to mindread which ones have identified as having them?

I’m confused as to what The Guardian means by “the P-word.” Pussy? Police? Pom?

And what are we to make of unmistakably White mob violence that also includes non-White participants?
I did a quick search of the article, and failed to notice any use by Ms. Beltrán of the word "coconut."
Is this an unfortunate omission by Ms. Beltrán, or just a case of excessive wordiness to avoid being accused of implying any unfortunate connotations such a word would otherwise have?

The “Uneven” Nonmonogamous Marriage
I agreed to open our marriage for my husband. He’s loving it. I am not.
Aunty's answer:
It’s absolutely possible to have a consensual nonmonogamous relationship where only one half of the partnership has sex with others.

Don't these people have jobs? I mean normal jobs, not ones which involve publicly dildoing oneself.
The ones that do that as an actual job, tend to be paid fairly well.

Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and vowed to clean the bathrooms himself.
Perhaps he may put in more effort when it comes to hiring a divorce attorney.
The only surprise, given the tone of the article, is why he hasn't already availed himself of such a service already.
