@MichaelRosenYes Much love to you and your family. These days are hard

There are still people who get excited to show you a cool rock they found, a strangely shaped cloud, a tiny frog, a pretty leaf, or a sky full of stars. That’s the kind of energy I want around me for the rest of my life.

@LissaKEvans 'who cleans the tub?' would make that a fine quartet

@anon_opin Ours is fine toasted

@LissaKEvans @TheVikingDane I was the same with kids I taught. When Facebook came along, after I'd stopped teaching, loads of kids friended me. Turned out they were all naughty girls and gay boys. I'd had no idea any of them were gay because I never thought about them tho none of it was a surprise, lol

@ewangibbs We used to hang out at Gatwick after the pubs shut in the early 1970s. There wasn't much to do or see but we'd take photos in the photo booth and lark about till we got thrown out or sobered up, whichever came first

@gregsouthby @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove I'm not a transphobe, I'm a trans ally. I know they're not men, some of them probably wish they were as their lives would be so much simpler. What facilities must trans women use? And trans men? I don't welcome trans men into my spaces - they are not women.

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@gregsouthby @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove It's definitely tricky but at least any claim to be trans that follows being charged with a violent offense can be chucked right out. If it's rape then it's always men's prison, if it's rape inside a women's prison, out to men's prison, end of. If trans women rape, men's prison

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@gregsouthby @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove There IS a difference between men pretending to be women and people whose bodies have some combination of factors that mean they are 'wrong'. This is not a new 'fad' Trans people have always been with us. They deserve better than assuming they're predators. It's not easy to solve

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@gregsouthby @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove I am VERY concerned about a system that allows men to commit these crimes then declare themselves women and go to womens' prisons. Criminal stupidity to allow this - these are men. No arguing with you on that

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@gregsouthby @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove I know predatory men abuse the system, of course they do, that's who they are, but there's a difference between trans women and predatory men. Also, it's noted that many men only care about women's safety in relation to this issue, rather all than violence against women and girls

@naomicfisher When I started my PGCE in 1992, GCSEs were marked by criterion which were published - to get a C in English you had to write more or less correctly. The number of good grades increased so back to the old system - top few get As no matter what, bottom few fail no matter how good

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@SunnivaGunn @LissaKEvans @DaomiLove I'm not arguing that, not at all. Just that there *are* people who are neither 100% M or F who are having a tough time and the current polarised positions aren't helping anyone

@LissaKEvans @DaomiLove Do you really not accept that a small minority of people are born with mixed up gender markers?

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@LissaKEvans @DaomiLove Me too - shame.

[Anna Mills @AnnaM46]

@LissaKEvans @DaomiLove Oh come on Lissa - do you actually know any trans women? They are not men.

[Lissa Evans @LissaKEvans]

I have the last 2 proofs of 'My Name is MacKenzie Bly', which I wrote because I have always loved and cherished books that make me laugh, and I wanted to write something purely funny. I *think* it's for everyone over 11.
It's out in August. RT by end of tomorrow to win a copy.

@LissaKEvans @HackneySwp @EHRC Really? Am I missing what's just been announced? This may be the case as I'm struggling with post-viral fatigue, but my understanding is that everyone is only allowed in single sex spaces according to their gender assignment at birth so trans men must use women's spaces
