Le confinement, la solitude: on existe à peine dans la pénombre
Philip, duc d’Edimbourg (né Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glückburg), a joué un rôle essentiel dans ma vie de gamin.

Arty Morty: Graham Linehan’s gender blasphemy exposes the fear that stifles the trans debate
It’s like when people see Jesus on a piece of toast. Look at this user profile on the lesbian and “queer” dating app Her. (This one’s actually a mock-up, but there are plenty of real ones that look just like it.) Maybe you see a vulnerable member of a marginalised community, in need of an …
Jo Bartosch: “This ghoulish trend of trans-ing the dead raises some wider and valid ethical questions.”
I can’t help but applaud the gall of trans activists. Like Trump at his most bombastic; they claim whatever fact, historical figure or cultural quirk takes their fancy and reshape it to fit a political agenda.
