Mostly ghostly. Non male™️. And left footed. So that makes me queer, I guess.

I hate hiding behind this anonymous account. Hate it. If I posted how I feel on my main Twitter account I would lose a lot of my livelihood and lay myself open to attack.

I’m fed up of hiding in the shadows, too scared to say what I feel & allowing genderwoofers to silence me!

Can't say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier.

And we see the entitled, bratty, tantruming little Veruca Salts who believe that only they, and those who share their luxury beliefs, should be permitted to publish books.

Ten years ago today I was proud to be one of the 56 SNP MPs elected to Westminster. Now I could not bear to wear the rosette. The full story of what happened in the decade that followed needs to be told & I look forward to making my contribution in due course.

Our conversations with the dead must be held in our own heads and in our own hearts because that is the only place where they can happen.

NOW I'm convinced they should be given access to women’s spaces!

It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh look, another of those things that never happen has happened again.

2 years and 3 months after my gynaecologist said “I’ll see you again in 4 months” I now have an appointment.

Those who are today gloating about the ruling in Giggle v Tickle have no idea of the tsunami of rage that is building among women around the world, and which will end with self-ID laws being struck down in every country that has so thoughtlessly adopted them.

Shame on Australia.

Watch @NadiaWhittomeMP , a woman with no medical experience, shaking her head as @Keir_Starmer reiterates that Dr Hillary Cass, one of the most senior paediatricians in the country, found there is not enough evidence on the long term impact of puberty blockers

The arrogance…

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

A salutary reminder that those who threaten violence to women who dare to disagree with them are perfectly capable of carrying out those threats. This man should never have been allowed the influence he had. It’s time for change. https://t.co/nGNZAynZjw

@ValhallaPump @metpoliceuk Here it is on video! Recorded by @dazed and reposted by London Trans Pride on Instagram.

Convicted kidnapper and torturer, Sarah Jane Baker, on the Trans Pride stage, saying “If you see a TERF, punch them in the fucking face!” to a cheering crowd :)

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Your regular reminder that men who announce publicly they want to beat up women tend not to be very nice people.

I see the story has been covered by Sky News, the Telegraph, the Independent, the Times, the Mail and numerous Scottish papers. Why has the BBC not covered it? Is it because he said "I f***ing hate TERFs"? and "beat the f*** out of some TERFs"?
Surely not.

[WWBD @whtwldbabsdo]

This seems newsworthy, @BBCNews @BBCScotlandNews. It involves a former SNP official. Yet it doesn't appear to be on your website. Is there a reason for this? I see other stories about sexual assault cases on the Scotland page. Surely this has more public interest?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

You might think you’re progressive, but have you ever unironically compared women to chairs?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

This man is talking about rape survivors who want female-only care, the nurses currently suing their health trust for making them change in front of a man, girls and women losing sporting opportunities to males and female prisoners incarcerated with convicted sex offenders.

“For me it’s just common sense, that there should be any suggestion that people aren’t allowed to live the life they want to live & to be with who they want to be with & to express themselves whole heartedly, I mean as long as you’re not hurting anyone else & everyone else just needs to butt out.”

David Tennant seemingly has no clue what critics of gender ideology are saying & actually opposing. So let’s make it clear:

• First of all, common sense is knowing that there are only two sexes, sex is immutable & plays many vital roles in society, from sexuality to safeguarding to rights to procreation.

• Next, no one is suggesting that people can’t live how they want to live. This is a nothing statement. There are, basically, 8 billion ways to live life. As many possibilities are there are humans. The issue is that one group of people has fallen for a lie and wants everyone else to live that lie to some extent as gender ideology is a direct attack on how everyone else lives, from speech to education to how society is structured to rights.

• Consenting adults can choose who they want to be in intimate relationships with, that fight has long been won. But gender ideology actually wants to undo that, telling lesbians that they must accept men who claim to be women as lesbians & gay men must accept women who claim to be men as gay men. Now, if being with a person who is lying about their sex is your type, fine. But for everyone else, they also need their rights. Rights to lesbian only spaces & events & rights to gay man only spaces & events, all based in reality. Heterosexual people claiming to be homosexual and then enforcing heterosexuality upon a homosexual group is not progress.

• Who is saying people can’t express themselves? Men can wear dresses & makeup if they want. Women can cut their hair short & do whatever they think men do. We’ve all got one life, live it in a way that makes sense to you. But understand: your expression does not change material reality, and is not a free pass to take away other people’s rights. Rights, rights, rights.

• Many people are hurt by the ideology David Tennant & the like are pushing. Women’s rights are abolished, LGB people’s rights are dismantled (while simultaneously getting the blame for this nonsense), children’s right to grow up with their body in tact is demolished, and then there is freedom of belief, speech & association which impacts everyone. Don’t believe me? Try not believing in gender ideology & see how much freedom of belief you have in the workplace. Try creating a female only space and see how many men demand access to it, with institutions like human rights commissions backing them. Try being a female athlete missing out on competition because a man decided he is a woman and used his biological physical advantage to destroy your dreams. Just try to imagine that there are more issues in life than how one “identifies”.

• Telling people to “butt out” is a clear indication that someone has never once considered how gender ideology plays out in society on a macro scale & why people would be against it, and that he doesn’t actually have empathy for people who are different to him while identifying as someone who does.

If you don’t understand what your critics are saying, don’t criticize them until you do. The end.
