Why should #spycops who abuse people's human rights have a permanent shield preventing scrutiny of their actions

Women want single-sex spaces "because there are situations in which they are vulnerable, or where they need time to heal and to be safe” not because they are bigots.

Mary-Ann Stephenson @ehrc vows to defend single-sex spaces and defy "Orwellian" activists.

Rajiv Menon KC gives interview to @DuncanGardham at The Observer about the contempt proceedings against him - denying that he invoked jury equity, and revealing that the proceedings prevented him from seeing his father before he died.

An undercover unit of the Met Police, together with MI5, for decades monitored and infiltrated the Socialist Workers Party while a “high level policy decision” was taken not to infiltrate the neo-Nazi National Front — documents from Spycops enquiry. https://t.co/An44BxbOVK

Angry men in dresses can be dangerous.

They make death threats.

They must be taken seriously. They already get away with the delusion of being a woman in Australia so why wouldn’t they think they could get away with being violent towards us?

They cause tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars to be spent on riot police and mounted police when women simply want to state publicly that humans can’t change sex and women need sex based services, spaces and sports.

They take women to court to try and gaslight us and intimidate us.

I won’t be silenced!

I won’t live in fear of these angry men in dresses. I am going to the rally on Sunday and I hope you will come too.

I 💯 support @salltweets decision to pull out of the public rally in Sydney. She is a single mum of a 4 year old daughter.

Sall has done most of the HEAVY lifting in this issue. She deserves to feel safe. Sall will continue to expose the dangers in the media, she doesn’t need to risk her life on the streets too.

The media and politicians here mostly ignore me and the very real threat to our freedoms. It is time they did more heavy lifting.

The rest of us need to keep speaking. Keep showing up and keep backing Sall all the way until reality is restored in Australia!

Thank you @rachelbaxendale @australian for exposing this.

We are DELIGHTED to report that Ado has managed to shoehorn Magdalen and her mum into this!

Her mum, BTW, died not long after Magdalen.

Naturally, this means we will be posting a video!

You can see why the Taliban is so fearful of Afghan schoolgirls, whose very words of despair defy their own captivity

Afghan girls don’t just find hope in the darkness surrounding — they ARE that hope

They deserve our every support

Did the Metropolitan Police destroy files that could have explained why #MI5 spied on me in the 1980's - and who authorised it? It is a question that should be answered by the Undercover Policing Inquiry, as Paul Heron, my lawyer, explains:

Patriarchy reloaded.
Men appointed to both the 'male' and 'female' seats.
Men are the best men and men are the best women.
So ludicrous it would be laugh out loud funny, if gender identity ideology hadn't taken such a hold.
Absurd.

A huge story, a huge scandal, is being revealed at the Undercover Police Inquiry

It concerns the extraordinary scale of the operation and the profoundly reprehensible behaviour of undercover police over decades

[COPS @copscampaign]

Many of Special Branch's files have been 'lost' -it's still unclear if that means they're languishing in deep storage, or have been (either accidentally or deliberately) destroyed & now the Home Office is trying to limit the #spycops inquiry.

Take action: https://t.co/VxCgJCnGcX

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

The Iranian regime went to my sister’s home and made her to sit in front of their cameras and disown me. She did that publicly.

Then they went after my mother. My tiny mum prepared a gallon of gasoline and told them: “If you force me to disown my daughter, I will burn myself before I do that.”

So, they arrested my brother Ali, in order to punish her, to punish me, to punish our entire family.

I am the daughter of this beautiful Muslim mother. So listen carefully! I am not against Muslims. How could I be? My beloved mother is Muslim.

I am against Islamists who weaponize religion to silence dissent, punish Muslims, and tear families apart.

Criticizing Islamism is not hatred of Muslims. It is standing up for Muslims who are often its first victims, like my own family.

I miss my mum. Every single day. And my dream is to hug her soon.😔💔

Brilliant deputations this morning to @EdinburghCC from @LesbianPersist & Edinburgh Women Rise.

But how dreadful that women must plead for a space at the table! Who would have thought we would have to reaffirm this basic truths in 2026?

[Jane, Empress of the Known Universe (not GP)🏳️‍🌈 @blablafishcakes]

Yesterday these legends went to an event about their own legal battle: a case they won & wrote about in a book. OTHER people were invited to talk about the case, not the @ForWomenScot women directly involved. I hope they sat in the front row.

And I hope @edbookfest are ashamed.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

Five years ago today, the Taliban took Kabul, then Afghanistan. Today marks five years of women and girls being stripped of their freedom, education, work and futures. Those women who have survived this long are still there, still waiting and struggling. They deserve their freedom. 1/12

[Mara Yamauchi @mara_yamauchi]

At lest 11 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun today.

One got 1st Female. The total number of times males have got 1st Female is now at least 298. This man was nearly 4 minutes ahead of the first actual female. She was just 7 seconds ahead of the next female. Clear..

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

This was me as a little girl, forced into hijab. And this is me after I broke free.

In Iran, I was told: wear the hijab or be kicked out of school. Resist, and you can be arrested, beaten, lashed, or imprisoned, or killed it in the hand of morality Police.

Then I came to the West and was told: be careful telling your story, it might cause “Islamophobia.”

I am a woman from the Middle East. I have lived under Islamist ideology. I have every right to fear it, criticize it, and speak about it.

Don’t silence us in the name of tolerance. Let us talk.

“We felt it was important the guidance was quashed so that fresh policies start from first principles and take into account the full implication of this ruling as well as that of the Supreme Court. We are pleased that there is no chance that the old guidance can sneak back in any guise.”
