Thanks for the good vibes peeps.

Just glad to still be here. I agree that many many female (AFAB - assigned female at birth) people have been let down by the medical establishment; I hope it's getting better but it's slow. Obviously I'm not part of those stats... 

Personally, the really stepped up to bat for me, but also that was before I came out. That being said, Brighton is ultra liberal so I really hope there would be no difference in treatment between male, female, cis and trans.

Rubber side down!

Glad you're still with us and thank you for being the one to straighten out the AFAB point. I was hesitant to go there.

On the original issue, I am the worst rule breaker if the rule is "all the gear all the time." Always the helmet, the rest is weather or event dependent. You can come to your own conclusions about how little coverage that amounts to. If I say it, I will hoisted up the yard arm.

A few years ago I saw that an area in London was going to be stripped of pedestrian crossings and road markings to see if people could deal with having to think for themselves for once. I haven't heard any more about the experiment. Maybe it was a total failure.

I bet they chose an area they thought would be devoid of idiots needing the "Look Right" signage (which has probably save my life more than once).

Exhibition Road in South Kensington where some of the museums are is along those lines, and it actually seems to work well. Cars now go very slowly....

Remember the Swedish experiment... -Where they removed all but the most critical roadsigns and the accident numbers decreased? They realised that all the superfluous signs were just distracting the drivers.

So many tossers in little offices protecting their (and their insurer's) arses. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I don't want my grandkids to have a 'SAFE' life. I want them to do a little living on the edge... take a risk FFS. Push a few boundaries, get a life!
Our civilisation didn't get where it is because we all played it safe!

I think we're only here today because many, or most of our ancestors going back thousands of generations survived something horrible.

Bet the air quality is better on Brighton Promenade as well.

You are not wrong...
