Would you pass the ‘fake breasts’ test?
From our UK edition
I am considering sticking on a pair of prosthetic breasts and applying for a job at Oxford University. The Spectator paying what it does, all of us columnists must have a side-hustle of sorts. Perhaps this could be mine. The thought is inspired by the emergence into the news of Matt Rattley, a lecturer in biochemistry at St Hilda’s College, Oxford. I know it is unkind to attack people for their looks, so allow me to describe Rattley’s appearance in as neutral a manner as possible. People like Rattley try their luck among the most tolerant people in the hope that tolerance will be endless Rattley is clearly a man – or to put it in the language of our time, he is someone who was ‘assigned male at birth’.
