@_NatashaDevon If we shouldn’t be forced to be how we described ourselves 23 years ago, it’s probably best not to give puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and doubt mastectomy’s to young women whose brains are still developing & haven’t possibly had time to “know who they really are”… right?

@Sgt__Detritus 😢 ❤️

Only a man would think womanhood is a costume you can shed like a pair of high heels. My @thetimes column on "girl mode", "boy mode" & Eddie Izzard. https://t.co/FVrn99kmOh

"Come and join us in the 21st century." Women, eh? So behind the times, clinging on to that brief spell in the late 20th century where we could wear flat shoes and have our own inner lives.

@redlianak When a charity like Mermaids appoints a paedophile sympathiser as a trustee; when Jordan Gray, a patron of Educate& Celebrate exposes himself live on tv while singing an obscene diatribe against women; when ppl like you denigrate safeguarding, we see you loud & clear. Thanks 👌🏻

@Lachlan_Edi I think it's the very misogynistic lyrics coupled with the exposure that is the issue. It felt like a deliberate display of sexual dominance - that the performer was saying "I can insult you & expose myself to you & make clear I'm loving doing it and there's nothing you can do".

Please retweet @DreyfusJames @drlouisejmoody @EvadneDr @WorkPsychol @vrarda1 @Doctor_Az_ if you have time - this hospital is apparently following US regs and ignoring UK laws,customs and patient dignity.

@StealthMagpie @Bolshie_Woman @CHIMPSINSOCKS I know! It’s amazing. And it blows their minds to hear they are co-owners of so many wonderful artworks!

[Elle Kay @ElleKayLondon]

@Bolshie_Woman @CHIMPSINSOCKS I tell primary pupils we all own the artworks in the National Gallery- it is amazing to have a stake in such a place. Van Gogh is such a useful figure to engage children in art and ideas about the world, this act felt cruel and ill-conceived, on so many levels.

@roblee4 Many of us are NOT struggling with @jk_rowling so please stop projecting your own misogyny.

[Amina Lone @Amina_Lone]

So @UKLabour #EddieIzzard is running as a female candidate? How will you protect Labour members, religious minorities, women etc who legally believe in #sexmatters rights to openly and without intimidation, challenge self-identification policies? #Labourlosingwomen

[LesbianLabour @LesbianLabour]

One day later & this tweet is still up. Questions asked about Mermaids today in Parliament & Labour does not flinch. Either they think they can ride the storm or no one is monitoring Twitter for @UKLabour @AnnelieseDodds or @Keir_Starmer we remain concerned for children & Labour

[LesbianLabour @LesbianLabour]

@LGBTLabour @Mermaids_Gender We can hardly believe you have posted support for Mermaids with an endorsement from Munro Bergdorf, who was sacked by the NSPCC. Have you no sense? @UKLabour will now be seen as supporting a Charity under investigation for serious safeguarding failures. Suggest delete now!

@russellcrowe May I respectfully suggest that the voters of Sheffield Central may prefer an even brighter woman, who lives in the city and has dedicated her life to improving the lives of her fellow citizens. https://t.co/brTyPLd18S

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Men sitting around pontificating “what is a woman” and coming up with any answer other than “adult human female” is, without a doubt, the most sexist act imaginable.

[Annette Mckay @AnnetteMckay15]

Jonathan Ashworth talking about trans women as the most marginalised group. Surely it’s the thousands of women who are victims of male violence. The appallingly low rape convictions, the three women a week murdered by a partner. #labourlosingwomen

If I had to choose between JK Rowling, who has poured massive amounts of time and money into helping women and children,

Or

Nicola Sturgeon, who thinks men can be women and therefore should have access to our spaces,

As a woman, I know who I'd choose.
