‘Kindness’ versus the truth. Fantastic speech.

[Maeve Halligan @MaeveHalligan]

"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."

I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:

Reform UK emerges as the largest party with 17 seats (and climbing) as results roll in.

Birmingham rejects radical muslims.

My piece for @spikedonline on what happened when Scope dropped my choir from singing at the London Marathon yesterday .

Along with why - even after the invitation was restored -(with support from the @SpeechUnion ) I chose to sing elsewhere with a hastily assembled group.

There’s been a lot said about this online. This is the more personal - and painful - story behind it.

And why it matters.

The reality of EDI: Keep quiet about trans ideology -accept men in women’s spaces, accept the mistreatment of gender confused kids- or face second class treatment. Charities taking this stance are damaging the sector and the concept of charity itself.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

So instead of taking a beat to consider whether their actions were lawful and proportionate, Scope have chosen to issue a public statement about me on their website.

Which feels as though they are doubling down - and singling me out further.

Suffice to say, I have taken legal advice and am well supported on that front.

It’s worth noting that they appear to be leaning on the “Bananarama argument” - i.e. it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it - implying that the issue is the way I have expressed my lawfully held gender critical views.

Those who follow me online will know that I am generally very measured in the way I express my views.

However, even if I weren’t, reality is reality.

Which means there is no “nice” way to say that a man who claims to be female is a man - and therefore shouldn't be in women's spaces and sports. Other than simply saying it.

So the problem is not how you say it - it’s the fact you’re saying it at all.

Corporate cancel culture still going strong. Solidarity with @jo_bartosch & @robjess

[Jo Bartosch @jo_bartosch]

So having been compared to a holocaust denier by a local cllr (who was once a friend) Stroud Brewery and Taproom have cancelled the event organised by GlosWomen. @robjessel16 & I will be taking advice.

By me: Parents sold the lie that accepting a child’s new identity and helping them through the process of transition was the only way to keep them alive are owed an apology. https://t.co/NfFVExeRjB

Universities are swapping exams, essays and grammar to make assessments more ‘culturally responsive’. https://t.co/NpqAGaz0pc

Busting the disaterous myth peddled by the trans activists.

[Kurt Mahlburg @k_mahlburg]

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years.

Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged.

A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

1/ Dr Natacha Kennedy, a lecturer at Goldsmiths, has been celebrating the death of Jenni Murray, the highly-respected former presenter of BBC Woman's Hour.

Kennedy wishes for Jenni Murray's grave to be treated as a 'gender-neutral bathroom'.

Kennedy is an important figure in academic trans activism in the UK.
