I'm hopeful that the appeal will overturn the ludicrous earlier decision by the captured fool of a judge, Robert Bromwich.. but not confident. The Australian judiciary is almost wholly captured.
If the worst outcome does happen, Sall will have to register her company and app in the UK where sanity on this issue prevails, and geoblock Australia.... If that happens, she could try to get a company such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN or Surfshark to sponsor her.
 
Try set aside the fact that this is GB News, and focus on what Fiona McAnena - Director of Campaigns at Sex Matters - is saying in this interview about the way the BBC promoted puberty blockers as safe and reversible (when ALL the evidence shows they are not), how they promoted, in school education programs, the idea that there are over 100 genders (which there are not) and how they used an LGBTQ network within the BBC to suppress stories not favorable to the transgender issue, by criticizing their own colleagues.

Demands that we should accept the serial killer Paul Denyer's claim to be trans, again soured me on the intellectual activist left - Wikipedia editor on the talk page was basically "Denyer is a piece of ◊◊◊◊ but if we allow exceptions..." = so apparently Denyer being a *murderous* piece of ◊◊◊◊ meant that he couldn't also be a *lying* murderous piece of ◊◊◊◊ who was playing games to torment the families of his victims (as it ultimately turned out to be).

The BBC would refer to him as a woman. Thankfully, he is still incarcertated a men's prison
 
I knew it was bad but I'm not sure I realised it was this bad.

The Pros and Cons of Double Vanity Sinks

What’s a double sink vanity? It’s two sinks installed in your bathroom, usually into the cabinets. The vanity countertop accommodates the two sinks, and they’re typically all connected together in the same slab of counter. It’s two sinks, two faucets, and double the convenience.

Lol, we're fancy. Whoever built this house originally actually put the sinks in completely separate cabinets, on opposite sides of the bathroom. Granted, it's an absurdly big bathroom... I think you could fit a twin bed in the open floor space alone. Definitely overkill for us, but it came with the house.
 
Weird. A single bed is three feet wide (typically). Twin beds is when you put two identical single beds in one room. Why would you call a single bed a "twin bed" all on its own?

Because they kept the name even after they stopped being sold in pairs.

And twin mattress in the US is not 3 feet wide, so it isn't the same as a single. It is 3' 2" wide, or half the size of a standard king.
 
I don't think they were ever sold in pairs. You just bought one single bed, or two if you wanted to kit out a twin room. What would be the point of marketing them in pairs? And single beds are always wanted, why wouldn't you be able to buy one of any style you fancied? This makes less and less sense.

Maybe your single beds are 3' 2", I wouldn't know. I've seen them everything from 3' 3" to 2' 6" here, but it's not easy to get fitting bed linen for the non-standard ones.

I honestly don't know why they're called "twin". If I were to speculate, I'd say it's because of 1950s prudery, where married people frequently had separate single-serving beds that they would push together when they wanted to engage in marital relations. I don't know, I didn't come up with the naming.

The standard sizes in the US are Twin, Queen, and King. You can frequently also find "California King" which is the same width as a regular King, but is longer so tall people don't end up with their feet sticking off.

No claims for veracity, but this site indicates that the naming came from hotels placing two single beds in the same room, thus "twin" beds.

FTFY. Full was once also called a "double bed" when a Twin was also called a "single." However, Full is far from double the width of a Twin (that would be a King, in fact, though King is also longer). Full is sixteen inches wider than a Twin, but that's enough for two adults who are reasonably lean and get along well. Most couples who have the living space now opt for Queen or King while Full is a good size for single adults who don't want to feel like they're in summer camp but also don't need to deal with sheets too large to wash, fold, and apply easily.

Well, I think that "twin" this is just weird.

We have single and double. But then again some people do go for king-size. One of the limiting factors is the availability of fitted bedlinen. But you can get a number of non-standard sizes if you're so inclined.

Did anybody actually live like that? I thought that those twin beds you're referring to were mostly a thing for TV, when prudery dictated they couldn't show a double bed. A taboo probably broken by All in the Family, like several others, was my guess.

It was definitely a thing with some adults, old school mostly. I most often remember them being called "twins" because there were almost always two in a bedroom, like two kids sharing a room.

For married couples. And hotels. And keep in mind: marketing them as pairs doesn't mean you can only sell them in pairs.
