Yes. It is like deciding to do a trial of lobotomies on children before checking what had happened to children previously lobotomized because the child lobotomy clinics refuse to share the data. It. Is. Not. Ethical.
Key point by @cwestonclark
“The NHS’s refusal to complete the Data Linkage Study (DLS) before proceeding with a new trial is the ONLY argument worth making on this issue. Everything else is a distraction”
It's not black pain, it's pain.
It's not black joy, it's joy.
It's not black love, it's love.
It's not black hair, it's hair.
It's not black trauma, it's trauma.
It's not a black life, it's a life.
I think it's time to abandon separatist language and thought.
@owenjonesjourno Seems highly unlikely she was confronted because someone thought she was a trans-identified man. They don't tend to present without hair or a wig.
Anyway this happens to me all the time (always has), and is not a reason to throw open women's single sex facilities to men.
Please remind us, @SamBarber1910 , how many people were permanently banned from Twitter for pointing out that “trans women” are men. The freedom we have to express our views on X did not exist in 2021.
Even with the #SupremeCourtRuling by @ForWomenScot allowing female only events this happens. That is civil law.
Now imagine the Conversion Practices Bill that will be criminal law and how these people will behave @andyburnham
Women will never be safe again

I met an ex-colleague on the train this week. Retired psychology professor. Hadn't seen him in 15 yrs.
He asked me to explain why I didn't agree with the slogan: 'Sex is a spectrum'.
When I mentioned egg and sperm, he looked shocked and said: 'But that's terribly old-fashioned!'
I know, it’s so frustrating. Us dried up old Karens/ liberal white women (delete as your preferred sexist slur) putting children, our boundaries & human rights above men’s wank material
The idea of a pocket guide to puberty blockers and a DIY HRT programme is horrific enough. The fact that this organisation receives funding from the taxpayer is beyond the pale.
I’ve written to the National Lottery Fund to seek urgent answers. This must be stopped.

Good grief @PeterTatchell will you PLEASE stop making things up. The Bill does NOT say ANYTHING about assumptions that the victim is “damaged, broken, perverted, abnormal, sick or immoral”. You say here that's an actual criterion in the Bill. It is not. You have to stop this.
I will not refer to a person who is clearly male or female as “they” or some silly neologism.
I will not pander to anyone’s illusion that they have changed sex.
I will promote accounts by whistleblowers and stories by detransitioners who warn against medical “transition.”
I will call out someone who is in an inappropriate space — unless I feel in physical danger.
If I am ordered to be quiet, I will politely decline.
If any of this leads to prosecution, I promise to write about it.
If the insane “Conversion Practices” bill passes, everyone who refuses to tell lies is in for a wild ride. So are the criminal justice authorities: better hurry up building those new prisons!
Bloody well said by Labour peer Lord Glasman.
Parents not buying a troubled teenage girl a breast binder isn’t conversion, it’s deep concern about her health.
Good to see Labour Parliamentarians on the pitch on this
I believe that so-called conversion practices bans are among the most dangerous and pernicious pieces of legislation. They enshrine the concept of the "trans child" in law and impose a model of compulsory affirmation that extends the self-ID delusion to all of society.
Preet Gill MP is absolutely right, you cannot have Cass compliant exploratory therapy alongside the draconian threat of prosecution from the conversion bill. She is courageously pointing out the obvious and fellow Labour MPs should listen
"Parents refusing to buy their daughter a breast binder. A therapist asking why a teenage boy is so certain he is a girl that he’s started buying untested hormones over the dark web. A wife expressing astonishment that her husband of 20 years claims to be a woman. These would all be criminalised by the bill..." @HadleyFreeman in @thetimes on @UKLabour's woeful #ConversionPracticesDraftBill.

Here’s the fourth complaint I’ve seen about Matt Rattley, the Oxford biochemistry lecturer who wore massive fake boobs to work. I’m sharing redacted copies of all four complaints to St Hilda’s College.
28 April 2026 - a parent
1 May 2026 - three alumnae writing jointly
18 May 2026 - a member of the public
8 June 2026 - a second member of the public
Four independent complaints in just under six weeks. The alumnae said they had to chase the principal for a reply. The other three complainants received none. St Hilda’s has yet to confirm whether it investigated any of them.
I spoke to several Oxford lecturers and a former student on condition of anonymity for my first report for my [Un]Captured site. Since the story hit the national press, things have gone quiet.
St Hilda’s has around 700 students and 150 staff. Surely a handful must be brave enough to speak up - even anonymously?
Could an ideologically ‘captured’ Junior Common Room committee be holding students back? Its website lists more than 30 members, all of whom give their preferred pronouns in their bios. They include two LGBTQ reps, a trans rep and a ‘wxmen’s’ rep. How comfortable would a student feel raising concerns in such an environment?
For staff, perhaps the memory of what happened to St Hilda’s historian Selina Todd still lingers. In 2020, amid hostility over her views on sex and gender, Oxford provided security to accompany her to lectures - after two students alerted her to threats.
If my daughter worked or studied at St Hilda’s, I sincerely hope she'd find a few courageous individuals in amongst the 850+ at the college. And that women would find each other and stand in solidarity - just as women like the @DarlingtonUnion and @CUSocOfWomen have.
Because women and girls should never be made to feel afraid of sharing their concerns - especially at a university.
If you’re a current or former student or member of staff, my inbox is open.

N.B. The fourth complainant wondered whether ‘non-stipendiary’ meant Rattley was a volunteer. An Oxford insider likened the role to paid freelance teaching, with perks e.g free meals, modest annual retainer.
Trans women should always carry mace spray for saftey. This should be sprayed directly into the eyes everyone you meet before they get close enough to see that you don't pass and misgender you.
