It's timely to highlight the life & work of computer scientist Lynn Conway.
In the late 1960s, she transitioned from male to female and was sacked by IBM as a result. For some years, she went underground and, for the rest of her career, worked as a woman - herstory unknown.

director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies @PJTheEconomist tells Times Radio:
"I’m afraid I have absolutely no sympathy with their arguments on inheritance tax and the impact on family farms and agriculture. This is special pleading by some extremely wealthy people. Very few farmers will be affected by this, for example....
there's no other country in Europe or hardly any others that completely exempt business assets and agricultural assets from inheritance tax. We never used to, didn't destroy family farms. I'm disappointed actually to see such special pleading given such prominence"
