Of scrabble and pink wigs

I think I’ll change the tone slightly today, having become too ranty and indignant recently, and direct you all here. It seems a transwoman has won the world scrabble championships. Mikki Nicholson, who is 32, says she only started playing the game five years ago, so it’s quite incredible. Maybe you could say it’s another small step forward for transpeople everywhere. Mind you, I think her pink wig might have put her opponent off, giving her an unfair advantage; and since when were ‘duh’ and ‘pee’ real words?
