Woman,mother and grandmother. Don't 'cis' me. Its an insult.

[Sam Morgan @CrunchAlias]

It takes a real misogynist to describe women's rights, sports, medicine, dignity, education, identity, prisons, language, children, safety, schooling, opportunities, jobs, agency, free association, mental health, support, history, freedom and advocacy as "the trans debate".

[Chocolatey - Purple-haired c*nt @WitchyMcWitch]

I am very grumpy today at all of the dishonesty.

No one is banning "trans kids" from sport.

No one is dehumanising you by acknowledging your sex.

Don't pretend to cry because you thought you were Billy Big Baws & you got called out.

It's not a genocide because you're told to take a shit in the men's loos if you're male.

It's not big & it's not clever to pretend you don't know what sex you are (I'm looking at you Swinney)

And while we're here, if we could all stop being our whole selves to work, that'd be super.

On the same day a male police officer is sacked for touching a female police officers buttock @naomi_long launched revised PACE guidance that coerces female police officers to intimately search male suspects on the word of the suspected criminal that he is a woman. /1

[Jane Keeps Receipts @JanesReceipts]

@JackMerched @naomi_long has fought to keep trans identifying men in women’s prisons and now wants to coerce female police officers to strip search men.Where an employer makes a request to have you touch the opposite sexes genitalia this is sexual harassment at work. Shame on you Naomi.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

The NHS has a definite woman problem...this is outrageous.

This is the real conversion therapy.

Watch if this comes in, the same people in Northern Ireland who are now desperate to block the @ForWomenScot Supreme Court outcome will demand for it to be implemented without delay.

Lukewarm take: we need to stop using mental health/therapy buzzwords in day to day life. Not everyone you dislike is a narcissist. Being sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. There’s a resounding difference between being nervous and having anxiety. You’re not ADHD because you don’t like to sit still. You’re not autistic because you’re quirky. OCD doesn’t mean you’re organized. And for the love of all that is holy, not every situation that made you uncomfortable is “trauma”.

[Emma Hilton @FondOfBeetles]

“It feels like you’ve died.”
“Where is the man I married?”
“This is just wrong.”
“You’re tearing our family apart.”
“You’re not a woman.”
“You’re not my Mum.”
“Never wear those clothes around me or the kids.”

In a country where the police knock on your door for tweets, be sure that Trans Widows and Children are very vulnerable under this proposed conversion therapy bill.

The men already argue they are coercively-controlled. This is yet another mechanism for abusing their wives, partners and children.

Please engage with @transwidows and @ChildrenOfTrans I can’t speak for them, I can only try to flag harms that might slip by unconsidered.

[Caroline Farrow @CF_Farrow]

They published the conversion therapy bill this morning. I’ve read all 20 pages so you don’t have to. It’s worse than the press release admits.

Doctors are protected; the bill carves them out.

Mums aren’t. There’s no equivalent line anywhere in it for a parent.

And “emotional pressure” is written in as something that can make your conduct “abusive.”

So a mum who urges her daughter to wait, to be at peace with her body, is left to a prosecutor’s view of whether that was abuse. She could get up to 5 years in prison.

It goes further. The police or your local council can ask a court to order you to stop, before any charge, before any offence, and even without you in the room to defend yourself. Breaking that order is itself a crime.

Hilary Cass was reassured doctors could keep working. Fine. Now show me the line that protects a mother.

There isn’t one.

It needs stopping.

@sharrond62 @EtienneTheWolf A constituent who works for the NHS has recently had to participate in online training which included *offering cervical smears to biological men*. If anyone born male believes they have ever had, or will ever grow, a cervix, they need serious help.

[WRN NI @ni_wrn]

@liambo_ @naomi_long @BeattieDoug This is a huge issue. At least two dangerous trans identified men we suspect were held in hydebank with some of the most vulnerable women in our society. One is particularly and repetitively violent. Is that ok for those women who may have been abused most of their lives?

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

9000 GIDS patients 2000 given puberty blockers yet when these clinics were asked for the data & follow up info they refused to supply it. This is a scandal of epic malpractice proportions. It’s why the Tavistock was closed down after whistleblowers spoke out. Don’t do new experiments, find that data

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

@SilentSkyZero @jamesmurray_ldn Give it a rest for pity's sake. Every single time, transactivists resort to this incredibly weird & narcissistic idea that GC people "hate" trans people. Why on earth would we? I don't want men in women's spaces or taking women's stuff & I don't want children harmed. That's it.

1. 🚨BREAKING: County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has paid £187,000 in damages, apologised, and committed to separate changing facilities for male and female staff following the Darlington nurses’ legal case.

In January, the Employment Tribunal had found the nurses suffered harassment and indirect sex discrimination over workplace changing-room arrangement.

The case, brought by seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller, was supported by the Christian Legal Centre, which has provided the nurses with legal, media and pastoral support from the beginning of their ordeal.

The case has become one of the most significant legal challenges in recent years concerning the freedom of female staff to access single-sex spaces in the workplace, with the nurses being compared to the Ford Dagenham workers and being dubbed ‘The Angels of the North.’

In January, Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney, ruled that the policy, which had been in place at the Trust for years allowing men who identify as women to access the female staff changing room, had amounted to unlawful discrimination.

Following extensive and at times deeply protracted negotiations, the Trust has now paid out £187,000 in damages to the nurses, which does not include legal costs, which are still to be decided at a further hearing.

This figure also does not include the Trust’s own legal costs of £603,000, and counting, spent on defending its position of allowing men into female changing rooms.

@miroirdufou You have beautifully exposed the misogyny that lies at the heart of the trans activist movement. Women aren’t real and they deserve no specific rights. Thank you for playing. 👏👏👏

Amazing news for vulnerable female prisoners in Scotland. Some of the most vulnerable women in our society should never have had to deal with this barbarism.
