A mixed bag of fiction and non-fiction but enough to entertain and ask questions.

This book is an analytical examination of the trans debate from acritical point of view. This is an intellectual anlaysis rather than a manifesto. As the subtitle alludes the book attempts to take the ideology of trans identity and apply it to what is happening in reality for people who change identity, children and puberty and the societal impact of men identifying as women i.e. sex and biology versus gender and identity.
Leeds played their best football in the first half of the West Ham game, be bringing in youngsters who showed little fear. As long as Bielsa can keep the momentum going that vital first win will come. As Bielsa said…

We went into this match without a win in the premier league this season and a raft of injuries and a suspension. Playing against a West Ham side that made into Europe last season. West Ham are a much improved outfit from the side that beat us last season. Never more have we needed that eleventh man – a sell out at Elland Road. Still it was not enough and again we ran out of steam. The patched up team was injurious in defeat.

Mix of experienced, new, and under 23s playing tonight. Alongside a lack of centre halves with Phillips playing out of position there. Opportunity for Daniel James to shine. Rodrigo needs to show he is worth his sign on fee which had been missing recently. And Joe Gelhardt ready to impress in the first team. But will the mix gel together?

This is a critical moment for the country when it enters a season that infection rates shoot up: schools return, holiday makers return to the office, and rules have been relaxed.

A much improved display but still not yet firing on all cylinders with the lack of firepower on goal. So slightly disappointing to see Leeds not put the game to bed.

The initial promise last season when Leeds United rattled Liverpool FC in their first game of the season was missing today – is this a sign of second season syndrome?
