@Miss_Snuffy@Quietdespairing I was extremely uncomfortable having to sit through a cute pastel pink and blue cartoon about how you can change sex if you feel uncomfortable in your body, with a group of nine year olds. To see their vulnerable, innocent, trusting faces made me really angry. 😡
A brilliant 16-year-old South African girl named Bohlale Mphahlele has invented a groundbreaking safety device disguised as an earring.
The “Alerting Earpiece” looks like normal jewelry but hides a tiny camera, GPS tracker, and emergency alert system. With one discreet press, it can secretly photograph an attacker, send distress alerts with the wearer’s live location to trusted contacts and police — all without needing a phone or obvious movement.
She created it to help protect women and girls in dangerous situations, especially in response to high rates of gender-based violence in South Africa.
An inspiring story of innovation and courage from a young inventor.
On the train to join the @pinkladies_uk protest in Dover for secure borders, public safety and the rule of law.
More than 2,000 men have arrived in Dover on small boats in just two weeks!
This is our country, our communities and our future. We will not be silenced. We should stand together, speak out and keep fighting for the safety and freedoms of women and children.

I wrote, for @compactmag, about the unholy, shameful display of Pride:
"According to some queer advocates, we should allow such practices as bestiality, sex with children, sex in public, and sexualized behavior and imagery in the vicinity of children."
Heterosexual man thinks it’s ’rude and wrong’ that he’s not allowed in a lesbian FB group. There are loads of groups he could join, he’s angry because he doesn’t think any woman should be allowed to say no to him. Ever.
The most chilling line in the Shabir Ahmed case isn’t that he raped children.
It’s that, 14 years later, parole judges say he still refuses to accept guilt, still believes it’s “acceptable to sexually abuse children”, STILL poses a high risk of reoffending – and the state’s response is: “sorry, automatic release, nothing we can do”.
This isn’t justice.
This is a bureaucracy so obsessed with sentence formulas and legal autopilot that it will knowingly release a self‑declared danger to children rather than admit the system it designed is broken.
When a man is too unsafe for parole but “safe enough” for compulsory release, that isn’t law – that’s moral bankruptcy dressed up as procedure.
To all those advocates for delaying the school start on Monday is it ok if we don’t have any trains, nurses, flights, deliveries, shops open until 10.30 etc so everyone has time to drop their children to school?
If kids are up to 3am for a football match, then they should also be getting shown how important it is to a) show up even when you’re tired b) especially when you’ve chosen to stay up c) learn that things you want sometimes require sacrifice d) education matters. That’s a beautiful lesson.
There exists a "magical machine" that pulls CO₂ out of the air, improves air quality, significantly reduces street temperatures and is a haven for wildlife & biodiversity
It also costs almost nothing, and builds itself.
We need to fall in love with trees
Another workplace where people can’t work, another school where learning can’t happen, because of rampant defiance, abuse and violence. Heartbreaking to read, and almost impossible to endure. My sympathies with the staff and students who have to cope.
Unless we get serious about responding to these levels of disruption- including sanctions, suspensions and exclusions, then no amount of ‘positive behaviour training’ will be enough. The Scottish government has to wake up to the behaviour crisis that is harrowing the opportunities of generations of children. Until it is acknowledged, and the current behaviour model for schools is rebuilt, nothing will change.
“out of 152 incidents of restraint applied to the 16 children held…127 of those incidents were applied to the only two girls in the facility.
One member of staff was also suspended & reported to police following reports of sexually abusing a child at the secure accommodation.”
Justice isn't just about the verdict. It's about getting the process right. When serious mistakes are only recognised after the fact, survivors are left carrying the consequences.

It all comes down to the absolute refusal to study the female body, test products and medications on females, and give women medical care instead of diagnosing everything as "anxiety" and throwing chemical castration at it.
Isn’t it curious how - despite there being thousands of charities, groups and organisations to volunteer for - these men are so often drawn towards those involving little girls. 🤔
Kirralie is under a two-year Apprehended Violence Order for referring to trans-identified males as men.
For raising concerns about men who claim to be women playing in women's sports, Kirralie was ordered to pay a total of $95,000 AUD to the two men she had "vilified".

"How about 3rd spaces?"
"No! We want to pee with women!"
"We just want to compete!"
"How about your own category?"
"No! We want to beat women!"
"We just want to be left alone!"
"Ok, we'll stay away from you."
