what children do not deserve is to be force fed a noxious brew of hormones and forced to suck the nipples of men who have not an iota of care or concern about the infants' welfare. All paid for by @scotgov and @NHSScotland. I have today formally reported a child protection concern about this to Edinburgh Council asking them to initiate a full investigation of the group, and to identify the children and any parent, and the men involved in order to put a stop to this, and to safeguard any children involved

Our letter to Angela Constance. Taxpayers’ money funding ‘chest feeding’ ie by men, is a major safeguarding concern @WRNScotland @ForWomenScot @MForstater @ScotUnionEd @bjportraits @Psychgirl211

A new peer-reviewed publication argues that "gender identity" lacks definitional clarity and that medical and surgical interventions to "realign" teenagers' sexed bodies with "gender identity" are misguided and should not be part of standard medical care. SEGM's new Spotlight⬇️/1

This is blatantly inaccurate @MetroUK.

Steph Richards is excluded from the formal proceedings of Labour’s women’s conference because he is a man - not because he is trans.

While we’re discussing inaccuracies:

“Biological sex assigned at birth” is both inaccurate and ideologically loaded. Sex is observed and recorded, not assigned.

Richards having a GRC and undergoing surgery is irrelevant to eligibility because neither changes his sex under the Equality Act.

It is regrettable that Labour previously misled Richards about his eligibility for women’s opportunities. But last year’s Supreme Court judgment clarified the meaning of “woman” and “female” in law.

Isn’t it time Metro caught up - and stopped misleading its readers?

With less than 2 hours notice and with caring responsibilities and work we cant just drop everything. Alas women are expected to do everything on demand, something other women should be empathetic of...

Just three men in suits claiming “victory” over a women’s rights group whose apparent offence was wanting to host a discussion about women’s sex-based rights.

Wonder whether anyone on the picture desk stopped to consider the message this image sends. 🤔

We are pleased that @daview96 @scotexpress has reported on our letter to @AConstance23
Encouraging men to "chestfeed" is child abuse and we hope highlighting this issue will cause Angela Constance to reconsider funding a charity that promotes such unscientific and harmful practices

Susan Smith, a director of @ForWomenScot said the fact the group was “actively and openly encouraging the sinister idea that men can breastfeed, using public money, will rightly sicken taxpayers”

It is astonishing that public money is funding “Queer Milk” while the needs of the child are treated as an afterthought.

Biological males cannot produce the milk a baby needs to develop healthily. Infants are not props for adult identity.

When organisations put ideology first and the child second, they have failed in their most basic duty. What ever happened to safeguarding and do no harm?

[WRN Scotland @WRNScotland]

We are so enraged by the lack of concern for babies by this government we have today written to Angela Constance @AConstance23 outlining our concerns We ask her to provide evidence of the assessments undertaken that demonstrate they have followed their statutory duties and put the needs of the child first ⬇️

In light of newly discovered information showing that Amnesty International UK had already defamed Beira's Place before its recent hastily withdrawn report, lawyers for Beira's Place have written to Amnesty again.

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

Alan Cumming should focus on selling tickets to his half-empty productions & not taking everything his pal Sturgeon tells him as gospel.

1. GRR was not passed "unanimously"

2. Women were opposed to it before Covid. Our rights matter.

Caution didn't win women the vote, or equal pay, or fair sport, or the right to single-sex spaces. Sophie Cunningham is standing up for women and girls everywhere and it's glorious. Fuck caution.

This is racism. Black women are not men. No demographic will be tested first. Black women in fact stand to benefit the most as it’s been predominantly black male DSD athletes stealing places on national teams from black women in their countries. Facts matter.

[Sam Morgan @CrunchAlias]

Once again: when a so-called "trans man" gets pregnant, it is not proof that men can get pregnant. It's proof that "trans men" are women.
