So, @BBCNews #r4today, have we understood this?

You didn't want to speak to us when we won or for an end of year review but you have interviewed (twice?) a man whose sole contribution was having a negative opinion on our win?

Is this the impartial journalism we hear so much about?

[Louise Distras @LouiseDistras]

Finally dragged myself out of this Christmas flu pit to tell you that on 9 December, I walked out of Leeds Crown Court NOT GUILTY.

The case collapsed before it even got to trial. The CPS stood up, admitted they had zero evidence, and told the judge there wasn’t a cat in hell’s chance of any jury convicting me.

I’d been facing up to five years in prison for allegedly breaching an expired (and dodgy AF) non-molestation order. My “crime”? Speaking publicly about the abuse and stalking I’d suffered from a male trans activist at the Let Women Speak event in Leeds and in an X Spaces chat back in 2023.

If you want the backstory on what led to this prosecution (the stalking, the dodgy orders, the timeline), I wrote it all out on my blog (link in bio).

After years of stress, cancelled gigs, lost income, and the music industry turning its back on me…something finally went right.

I’m still trying to get my head around the sheer insanity of it all. I’ve got a lot more to say when I’m ready, but right now I just needed you to know the good news.

It’s early days but I’ve already started the wheels turning on suing West Yorkshire Police too - watch this space.

Thankyou for having my back through all the crap. Happy New Year you absolute legends.

J.K Rowling tells UK politicians to take threats made by trans activists seriously; brands them a “totalitarian movement.”

The Harry Potter author has responded to threats made by trans group ‘Bash Back’ to vandalize offices of politicians.

“Who knows, now that trans activists aren't only stalking, harassing, doxxing, threatening and physically assaulting women, our politicians might finally take the violence that's such a key feature of this totalitarian movement seriously.”

"Women of a certain age"

Susan 53, Marion 54, Trina 54. I'm 53.

We are the generation born with the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.

We came into a world where (at least on paper) women had equal rights. We are the first girls who could be everything a boy could be.

The Supreme Court determined that the law protecting women's rights can only be interpreted coherently if it recognised that "woman" means female.

Now the government is wringing its hands that this means "rolling back of trans rights".

It doesn't.

It was never the right of trans-identifying men to have women's spaces, women's awards, women's data records, women's refuges.

"Trans women" are men. Sad men, overconfident men, men who like the idea of themselves as women.

They infringed on our rights while the first generation of women who had them were busy having our babies.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

Mike has given me a public 'telling-off' on LinkedIn for calling a man a man. Apparently this is “disrespectful” to men who say they’re women.

And isn’t it striking how respect is so often framed as something women owe - but rarely something we are owed?

- Where is the respect for women who are told they must agree that the man standing in front of them is a woman - or risk losing their job or livelihood, or being cast out of their friendship group?

- Where is the respect for women who are expected to undress, receive intimate care, or share enclosed spaces with members of the opposite sex - against their will?

- Where is the respect for women who are required to surrender their boundaries, dignity and consent - or be labelled “disrespectful” if they don’t. While being stripped of sexed language and reduced to terms like “egg carrier”, “ovary haver” or “pregnant person”?

And when I read comments like this, I can’t help wondering what has gone so badly wrong that women stating a basic material fact is treated as a moral failure. The level of cognitive dissonance required to get here just is extraordinary.

[Dr Pam Gosal MBE @DrPamGosal]

Sandie Peggie may have won her central case against NHS Fife but the ruling was seriously flawed.

For instance the tribunal ruled that it was ok for biological males to use women-only changing rooms, even though this goes against April's Supreme Court ruling.

That is why I fully support her decision to appeal it.

But one must not forget that all of this stems from SNP's embrace of reckless self-ID and gender ideology.

John Swinney must ensure that all public bodies follow the law adhere to the Supreme Court's ruling.

Eight-Year-Olds as Test Subjects: The NHS Has Crossed a Line No Civilised Nation Should Ever Cross

There's a sickness deep in Britain's institutions – a refusal to learn, a refusal to stop, a refusal to put children before ideology. We were told Tavistock was the great scandal. We were told the Cass Review would draw a line under it. We were told the ban on puberty blockers was the moment the country came to its senses. Yet here we are again: the NHS preparing to put eight-year-olds on the same drugs it once called unsafe, all in the name of "research." Call it what it is – the return of a discredited experiment, dressed up as science, carried out on children too young to understand the harm and too trusting to resist.

This isn't a medical trial. It's a moral collapse. The Health Secretary bans puberty blockers for "unacceptable safety risks" and then signs off on a study that will inject them into more than 200 children. You can't square that circle. Either the drugs are unsafe – in which case using them on children is grotesque – or the ban was political theatre and the trial is the truth. In both cases, the child pays the price. Officials can hide behind clipboards and committees, but the contradiction is fatal: no civilised country calls a drug too dangerous for routine care and then gives it to primary school children.

We've seen this story before. Tavistock lived off the same delusion – that you can override biology with ideology, that you can halt puberty without consequence, that children in distress can be steered into a medical conveyor belt and come out whole. The tragedy is that we already know the results. We know the bone loss. We know the cognitive decline. We know the infertility warnings. We know that once a child is put on blockers, 98 per cent go on to cross-sex hormones. We know the detransitioners, with their broken bodies and their unanswered questions. We know the whistleblowers who were ignored. And we know the evidence Cass uncovered – "remarkably weak" to the point of farce.

And yet the NHS has learned nothing. The same worldview has crept back in through the side door. Troubled children are once again treated as experiments, not as patients. Autism, trauma, sexuality, social confusion – all pushed aside to make room for the one idea the activists will never surrender: that a child's body is raw clay, ready for remoulding. They even admit the risk to brain development, but say the greater danger is upsetting a child who wants the drugs. It is the logic of a cult: feelings first, evidence last, consequences ignored.

Then comes the darker underbelly – the smugglers, the fixers, the private clinics showing parents how to dodge UK law by flying to Dublin or Madrid. A banned drug, rebranded as "lifesaving care," administered abroad so the activists can claim clean hands at home. In 2022, Susie Green and her network turned desperation into a business model. Families pay thousands. Children get injections. The loophole gets exploited. And the state, once again, is caught flat-footed while ideology races ahead.

The truth is stark: Britain is not safeguarding children. It is feeding them back into the same machine that failed the last generation. The NHS had its reckoning – Cass exposed the rot, the courts blew the whistle, former patients lifted the lid. But instead of rebuilding trust, the system has doubled down. A new trial. New paperwork. New language. Same harm.

Puberty is not a disease. Childhood is not an illness. Troubled teenagers do not need their natural development shut down like a factory line. They need time, care, honesty, boundaries, and adults willing to tell the truth – not activists in lab coats playing God with their futures.

This trial marks a line. Not between one government and the next, but between a society that protects its young and a society that experiments on them.

"We were told Tavistock was the great scandal. We were told the Cass Review would draw a line under it."

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

We are horrified by the announcement of the PATHWAYS trial. As a charity representing lesbians, gays and bisexuals we are outraged that the lives of mostly LGB teenagers are held in such contempt that blocking their development has been given ethical approval.

We are supporting increasing numbers of detransitioned LGB people who are appalled that more children will be subjected to a trial of drugs we already know to be harmful. They now know they had difficulty accepting their homosexuality. They can attest to the effects of these drugs but have not been asked. All the evidence shows that lesbians, gay and bisexual young people make up the majority of those who will suffer.

Every detail of this planned trial is a disgrace. Recruiting children for a trial of drugs now known to be harmful, while more countries are banning them, is indefensible. The follow-up time is laughably short, the self-evaluation by the children is ridiculous and the expectation of “reasonable prospect of benefit” flies in the face of everything we now know about puberty blockers. Puberty is an essential stage in human development. Recruiting children who have been led to fear it, in the current online and social climate, verges on a criminal enterprise.

It is profoundly shocking that 9,000 children passed through the Tavistock GIDS - again, most of them lesbian, gay or bisexual - and their data have been lost or suppressed. This ill-fated trial must be cancelled. It is unworthy of a civilized society.
