@jk_rowling Less than half a % of the population she's willing to give additional privileges to while simultaneously doing a massive disservice to and risking the safety of 51% of the population. She is such a disingenuous idiot.

@AjaTheEmpress Note how they never fully zoom out to show the obvious size difference between the presenter and this guy.

@FFS_WhatNow "verbally assaulted" = told to leave. Hyperbole much.

[Barb @Barb_around]

@ABridgen Nope.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

Single-sex provision is simple and lawful.

The EHRC Code of practice, in force from today, includes clear examples to help organisations implement lawful policies that protect staff, service users and everyone’s rights.

Has your organisation updated its policies?

@GoodLawProject Over 100 near identical passages copied from a previous thesis, false statements about visiting professorships and charity endeavours. Are we redefining the definition of plagiarism and fraud as well as sex?!

We did it we won 🙌🏻 they have decided to exempt rapist and child abusers from the early release scheme 🙌🏻🙌🏻

The last month or so our lives have been turned upside down it’s been both overwhelming and tiring but it’s been worth it knowing some of the most dangerous offenders will not walk our streets early ….

We didn’t give up and got the result we deserve although this should have never have happened !

Us survivors are a force to be reckoned with even more so when we stand together ❤️❤️❤️

@AliceKawaVSRG @JamesEsses It is 100% about safeguarding children. Calling me names doesn't change that fact. You are in fact lobbying for children to be experimented on, and medicalised for life when there are known harms and little evidence of benefit. Now that is hateful.

"I had a panic attack and broke down."

That's how Alex West describes the aftermath of witnessing his wife's traumatic labour. The BBC calls it postnatal depression. Earlier this month, The Times used the same term for another father.

To be clear, men can absolutely experience depression after the birth of a child. They deserve recognition and support.

But why call it postnatal depression?

Postnatal depression has traditionally described a condition associated with pregnancy, childbirth and the profound hormonal and physical changes women experience after giving birth.

Yet increasingly, the language is shifting so that even this uniquely female experience is being redefined to include men.

The NHS, NCT and other organisations now routinely refer to paternal postnatal depression. The Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys even argues that it affects similar numbers of fathers and mothers and criticises the NHS for providing "female-oriented mental health support."

It sometimes feels as though women aren't even allowed to have language for the experiences unique to our own bodies.

@Healthy_Control @hugh_jarrett @JamesEsses Wow this is sinister. It's really underplaying potential negative side effects.

[Barb @Barb_around]

@JamesEsses I really hope there aren't that many parents who would want to risk putting their child through this harmful trial but sadly there probably will be...

@HJB_News__ Literally mother nature repeatedly showing you why cousin marriage is a bad idea and still you lobby for it?! Give your head a wobble Iqbal.

A surrogate mother in Alaska is fighting to save the baby boy she is carrying after the intended parents demanded an abortion.

McKenna West, a single mother, agreed to serve as a surrogate through an agency and became pregnant with a baby boy she calls Gabriel. At the 20-week anatomy scan, doctors diagnosed him with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a serious but treatable heart condition.

Shortly after the diagnosis, the intended parents asked McKenna to abort the pregnancy. She scheduled out-of-state appointments but could not go through with it, saying she could not face returning home to her own children after ending the baby’s life.

Her brother stepped in with support, and McKenna cancelled the abortion. She has since connected with medical teams willing to treat Gabriel after birth and has filed for custody to ensure he receives care. The intended parents have refused treatment for the child and are now suing her for not terminating the pregnancy.

The commissioning couple are now also now filing for custody and to control the manner in which McKenna gives birth.

Judges now hold the power to decide whether it is legally acceptable for a couple to buy a woman’s body to fulfill their own desires, threaten her with financial ruin if she does not end the human life inside her simply because he was not the product they wanted, and claim a right to dictate the woman’s birth experience and the baby’s medical care.

Ban surrogacy.

We’re a decade into transgender ideology madness & not once has there been a demand to make men’s sport more “inclusive”. It’s only women’s sport expected to change rules, accept men as women & anyone who dares say NO is branded with every bad thing the activists can think of.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The thing is, neither the men who believe erroneously that they’re women, nor the men who get a sexual thrill from dressing as women, are, in fact, women. They’re all men. Their motives are irrelevant. Men aren’t entitled to women’s hard-earned rights.

@rj_abel He's targeting the youth for future votes.

@daveatherton Get all religion out of school.

[Barb @Barb_around]

@RichardAngwin @jk_rowling Your offensive misogyny and claim that anyone can be a woman because "feels" is the real bigotry.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

These young women are heroines. They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing in women's sport. The only people who are "f*cking insane" here are those making a mockery of fair sport for women and trying to bully girls like this into silence.
