Mastectomy scars are now promoted to girls as something cool to aspire to. A 'look', a statement, a choice.

So insulting to women who have no choice. So dangerous for vulnerable teen girls to sell them major surgery as just a fashionable change of image.

A critically endangered Diademed sifaka hanging on for dear life—but losing grip on existence in this world.

Madagascar is stricken with extreme poverty, so hunting these large sifakas for bushmeat has soared, even in protected areas. Slash-and-burn for timber and sugar cane plantations for illegal rum is destroying their food trees.

Touchingly, they diligently patrol their territory every morning, carefully scent marking their trees to protect it—but they are defenseless against the ravages we inflict on them.

Long-lived and slow-to-reproduce, now also with high infant mortality (50%), wasting in adults and stunting in immatures as we systematically remove their means to exist.
The tiny, isolated groups in the fragmented reserves may already be genetically non-viable long-term.

It will take a miracle—or someone with enormous wealth— to save this spectacular species from extinction within my lifetime.

A man pretending to be a woman, suspected of murdering a little boy, publicly assaulted female journalists.

Naturally Australian media referred to him as "she".

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

“Openly non-binary”, what a load of absolute pish.

Has there EVER been a single person who was “non-binary” who didn’t immediately tell everyone they met about it? Can you even BE “non-binary” if you don’t tell people? Isn’t telling people the only way to manifest it?

“A former Family Court judge says it was “an extraordinary overreach” for the Federal Court to find that the ordinary meaning of “woman” includes a biological male who merely identifies as a woman in a decision now set to be challenged in the High Court.”

[Family Education Trust @FamEdTrust]

The court heard that 22 year old Ilia Belov had said “hello sexy, I'll show you a good time”to a 13 year old girl who was with a group of friends aged 12-14.

He then called his sister to help him assault the girl for ‘disrespecting him’ after she called him a ‘creep’.

The 13 year old was dragged to the ground by her hair and hit her head on a metal railing.

Despite this, many commentators blamed the girls for being ‘racist’ towards migrants and claimed that Belov was the victim.

This case has echos of the grooming gangs in towns such as Rotherham, where young white girls being raped and abused were ignored by police for fears of being called racist.

We outlined the failures of authorities to intervene in our 2017 report ‘Unprotected’.

“My daughter is due a big apology.
“She was classed as a liar, right-wing and racist.
“She went into protective mode that night because she was absolutely terrified. He was making sexual remarks to kids who told him to go away umpteen times." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not precisely a surprise.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Appalling 🧵

I want those who champion men in women’s sport to explain why they’re happy to put girls at risk like this.

[James Dreyfus @DreyfusJames]

“Openly non-binary”

🙄

Might as well say “Openly Aquarius”.

Meaningless.

[Sonya Douglas @SonyaDouglas]

If she didn’t consent to wrestle with a boy, she didn’t consent for him to put hands on her, and she certainly didn’t consent for him to put fingers INSIDE her

Every violation follows from the first

Didn’t we tell you sex deception leads to sexual assault?

Didn’t we tell you?

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

I think if you’re non-binary you should fully commit to the bit and turn down any women’s award you’re offered

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

Remember, every person who says they are disgusted by the Supreme Court judgment is admitting that:

They’re disgusted that female sexual assault survivors might meet in a support group to open up about their trauma, without men being present.

They’re disgusted that lesbians can socialise exclusively with other lesbians, without men being present.

They’re disgusted by new mothers gathering together to discuss breastfeeding or post partum problems, without men being present.

They’re disgusted that girls can play sport with other girls and shower, change and dress, without boys being present.

They’re disgusted that organisations - which realise they are too male dominated - can’t fill any female quotas with other men.

They’re disgusted that vulnerable female prisoners and arrestees can’t be searched by men or kept in a cell with other men.

They’re disgusted that women can have their own things.

They’re disgusted by the Equality Act 2010.

They’re disgusted by the law.

Isn’t that disgusting?

@latsot @Shiv_who_burns Eating people’s blood IN evening dress. Imagine the endless laundry.

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Sienna has arrived in Wales and is out exploring the beaches.

Everything about her has changed. Her whole body language is so relaxed now (1/2)

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Marilyn Monroe is starting her comeback.

She is a much older girl so this will take time but she is in the right place now!

[Benjamin Ash 🏁 @BenjaminAsh11]

@aniobrien Saw it in two UK tv shows back to back this evening. The BBC has a lot to answer for.

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

He shoved his fingers through her spandex, digitally penetrating her.

The victim shouted to her mom that his fingers were inside her "c**chie."

This is so disturbing. She's a 15-year-old girl & this young man assaulted her in public in a wrestling match.

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Do elephants remember who was kind to them?

Yes – and across decades. Our ex-orphans return to the stockades long after they've gone wild, recognise specific Keepers by name, and bring their wild-born calves home to introduce them. They even come back for help.

Last month, Melia walked her new daughter Moon to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit – sixteen years after we rescued her. She came back so the people who raised her could meet her calf.
