Article for anyone wondering with @thecassreview is so desperately needed.

I’ve met desperate parents because they tried to protect their children from transgender ideology and puberty blockers.

I’ve met families in tears because their adult child regrets their decision and wants to reverse the mastectomy and effects of testosterone on their voice.

A conversion therapy ban will criminalise those who love their children. Just for loving their children.

I know Starmer is desperate for a legacy but this is shameful.

A reminder that the majority of people do NOT support the puberty blocker trial.

63% agree the trial should be stopped.

Only 18% agree the trial should proceed.

Polling from December 2025. The Government is out of step with public opinion.

The Scottish government has finally been dragged, kicking and screaming, into compliance with the law.

Darlington nurses’ legal victory: Trust pays out £187,000 in damages, apologises, and commits to separate changing facilities between male and female staff. Legal costs are awaiting settlement.

@EKaht I read this article and thought: how can no-one see - the parents especially - that this boy’s motivations are purely borne out of sibling rivalry and to usurp his talented sister’s life, achievements, and identity? he needs psychiatric treatment not affirming. His poor sister.

People who cheat in sports do, in fact, deserve to be called out for it.

This boy is an unsufferable crybully. 🧵

135 British MPs are fighting guidance that would deny ‘Paula’ the right to enter women’s and girls’ changing rooms.

@MichelleDewbs I remember this last year: was there with my AuDHD gender dysphoric daughter. She was really distressed. When I commented on Mumsnet/TheTimes/etc, I was piled on for being a prude. Culturally, public nakedness is not the norm for Brits. And we’re not repressed if we say so.

[Someone’s Mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ @JustBusyWriting]

@jk_rowling They are great shoes, though? Although I’m not sure from all the pictures that they were quite the right fit for her (big gap at the heel in many snaps).

Perhaps he liked to share?

[Someone’s Mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ @JustBusyWriting]

@Alexandr4Denman And we wonder why British graduates are struggling to get work experience and, subsequently, full time graduate training places? Equitable access to opportunities should not involve positive discrimination.

@Macarena_Olona @BillboardChris Ie, they may have used a technicality to stop ‘conversations’ but the effect was the same? Either way, they released him without charge, so am not sure why you are wedded to undermining him on this point?

[Someone’s Mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ @JustBusyWriting]

@Macarena_Olona @BillboardChris I understood they arrested him, removed his tech, took him to a police station in a van etc for using a tripod in a public space. Rather, than, say, gently explaining to a tourist that a tripod may be deemed an obstruction in a pubic walkway and allow him to put it away?

[Someone’s Mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ @JustBusyWriting]

@Strobe_Lightly So sorry for your loss. Relationships with a parent are complex whoever you are. Grief inevitably mixes with regret for things said, unsaid, of actions past that left scars - whether intended or not - of the shared expectations we have of each other. Time does help, if not heal😢

@gulagthiswaayy @BasilianThought @SaraWahedi I’m not the retarded one - this woman is raising awareness outside Afghanistan of women’s plight in her way. I am from a family of Iranian exiles to the UK from when the Shah fell. I fully understand the horror of extreme Islam - so eff off with your white male patronage.

[Aaron Terrell @elegationvain]

A common theme in FtM spaces is it’s their responsibility to fix manhood by being female levels of conscious, empathetic, emotionally expressive, etc. Meanwhile in MtF spaces they’re simply concerned with being as hot as possible.

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

Mastectomy scars are now promoted to girls as something cool to aspire to. A 'look', a statement, a choice.

So insulting to women who have no choice. So dangerous for vulnerable teen girls to sell them major surgery as just a fashionable change of image.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council),

As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display.

I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal.

Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated.

They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive.

Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure.

Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation.

If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice.

I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason.

What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated.

I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this:

Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering.

Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating.

For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media.

Yours sincerely,

Janet Murray

@QcWynter Is that the love child of RTD2 and a Henry Hoover?

[Someone’s Mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ @JustBusyWriting]

@francesbarber13 That was how I remember uni in the 90’s too. Had friends who were socialist workers, raving marxists, died in the wool Tories and we all hotly debated our views before heading to the JCR for the latest Merrydown promo. Dissent didn’t destroy friendships.

Responding to the question why don’t trans women just get their own sports league or create their own pageants?
