We recently had the very great pleasure of speaking with two of the utterly brilliant and brave Darlington nurses @DarlingtonUnion
Here's Bethany, telling us what we know (but many MPs clearly don't!)
Guidance is just that - guidance.
We have the law. And the law is clear- and must be followed.

“In a free society, people can believe whatever they want. If you want to believe men can be women or you’re a man who wants to call himself a woman, that is your business. What you cannot do in a free society is force anyone else to accept it. What is at stake here is the ability to lawfully acknowledge reality.

If you care so much about “trans rights” you can work out a way to get them without destroying the category of women in law, female spaces, sport, services, the entire reality of lesbianism, and punishing citizens for acknowledging reality. The fact that you haven’t even tried makes it appear that destroying the rights of women is the goal.

Any politician who will look an Australian citizen in the eye and tell them that a man can be a woman is admitting that they will lie about anything and everything because the most obvious lie has already been told.

If no one in this room can acknowledge reality and fix an obvious problem you are either malicious or incompetent. The days of dismissing this issue are over. This is not a culture war. It’s reality.”

- my words, read by Alison Penfold MP, in parliament today.

Contact politicians are tell them to BACK THE BILL - “Sex Discrimination Amendment- sex based rights bill 2026”

Yes! The government has finally sloped into action and stopped sitting on the EHRC guidance.

One thing I really love is women who lift up other women!

The reason that I (and many women) entered into public discourse about trans ideology was to support women and girls in our right to have our voices heard during a cultural climate of suppression.

Although we are all passionate, I have recently noted how fast and easy it is to tear other women down for “doing it wrong.” But I also always note that the exact same energy that it takes to tear a woman down could be spent highlighting the women who are getting it right.

I want to take a moment to share my respect and admiration of Kara Dansky @KDansky specifically for her ongoing substack series FFS. (Female Free Speech) Friday.

In this weekly free article series, Kara “celebrates lesser known women who are just finding their voices.”

I absolutely love this! It is so important to encourage others and highlight new women on the scene for their courageous actions and willingness to make themselves a target by speaking out.

As I mentioned in my morning video today, in Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, while he exposed that most people will conform to the group against the evidence of their own eyes, he also showed that even one dissenting voice breaks the illusion of unanimity. A single voice of dissent shows that disagreeing is socially “allowed.” This provide psychological support, even in cases where the ally is imperfect!

@Flickabet @KnownHeretic Amy is the expert in that field.

When did you start believing??

[Cat-astrophique XX @Labell4Mariette]

@WomensRightsNet @PureGym Good on @PureGym for single- sex charging rooms / toilets. But where are the changing spaces and toilets for the disabled gym users? Are there accessible spaces within the single- sex spaces? Or have they disappeared entirely to make way for wokey «  gender- neutral » spaces ?

Children as young as 11 years old are being directed, by Sport England, to a website which discusses topics such as sending nude photos to a date, sex addiction and black market weed.

Schoolchildren in Years 7 to 11 (age 11 to 16) all over England have been asked via their schools to take part in a survey to assess their sport and physical activity. The final page of the survey directs children struggling with their mental health to The Mix, a mental health charity website aimed at under-25s.

@Sport_England prides itself on its stringent approach to safeguarding and yet this endorsement of The Mix for pre-teens has more red flags than an F1 circuit on a wet day.

🚩 The Mix is a website for under 25s, i.e. adults, and actively encourages users to discuss their problems online in the discussion forums. This puts children at risk of grooming, or worse, as they have contact with adults they do not know.

🚩Topics on the discussion boards include: the pros and cons of sending nude photos to a potential date, sex addiction, black market weed, and discussions of cocaine, speed and MDMA. There are also posts where users discussed their suicidal feelings and eating disorders.

🚩 The site has a rapid Exit button that takes users to the BBC weather page - this is designed to prevent parents seeing what their child is looking at on screen.

WRN founder, Heather Binning, said: ‘We feel this a wholly inappropriate website to signpost on a Sport England survey sent to schoolchildren from the age of 11, and completely at odds with promoting an active lifestyle.’

In addition to putting children at risk, the survey introduces children to contested gender ideology by asking if they are a … boy, girl, other, or prefer not to say. We say children should simply be asked if they are a girl or a boy. Conflating sex and gender leads to poor data collection at best and causes confusion to young children.

‘Sport England should immediately withdraw this survey and rewrite the question to comply with the government-backed Sullivan Report. It should also withdraw its endorsement of The Mix website which exposes children to inappropriate content for their age and puts them at risk,’ says Heather.

Sport England has been contacted for comment but so far it’s 🦗

@susannarose99 His wife is wearing a niqab. What happens if she chooses to not wear it in public? What are the consequences? Who administers the consequences? Who told her to wear it? These are questions the GPEW needs to be asking - and many more!

[Cllr Mandy Clare @MandyClareTERF]

My EGM tonight of Full Council is at 7pm. Three agenda items; all on ‘Trans’.
We’ve got a lovely public speaker team ready with a *surprise guest* amongst them! We also have some TRA opposition to contend with. Tune in and give us a listen 😳😣🙂

🎧 For over 15 years, transactivist organisations have used the Council of Europe as an entry point for institutional and policy capture - largely unnoticed and undisturbed.

This ends now. We’ve set up Athena Forum to expose their behind-closed-doors lobbying and to intervene for sex-based rights, evidence-based policy and political courage.

Listen to Athena Forum co-founder Kurt Krickler, a pioneer of the European lesbian and gay rights movement, on the long-term strategies of ILGA-Europe and Co. to push through institutional capture. ⬇️ 🧵

I don't care about troons and trolls- their insults don't so much as scratch me. But having a woman tell me that women are to blame for pornography, & groups like those used by Dominique Pelicot, was just too much. I find that level of misogyny, of self-hatred, unbearable.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

Lots of sane people - people who understand that telling children they can change sex is cruel - sent a strong message to @wesstreeting from Manchester yesterday.

Stop the Puberty Blockers experiment, Wes!

🎉 Victory for the Darlington Nurses!
Today’s tribunal ruling confirms they were subjected to unlawful discrimination and harassment for defending women‑only spaces.
🚫 Staff should never have been put in this position.
🏥 We expect every NHS employer to take note and ensure policies uphold dignity, safety, and the law.
👏 Courage, persistence, and truth prevailed, thank you Darlington Nurses

[Darlington Nursing Union @DarlingtonUnion]

Bethany said: "For more than a year, my colleagues and I have been fighting for something so simple, so basic, that it should never have required a court case: the right for women to have safe, single‑sex spaces at work.

Today, a tribunal has confirmed what we knew from the start, that what happened to us was unlawful, and that the NHS Trust failed in its duty to protect our dignity and our safety.

This case was never about ideology for us. It was about truth, biology, fairness, and the basic protections the Equality Act was designed to uphold.

We never asked for special treatment. We asked only to be able to undress for work without a man being present.

Instead, we were told to “broaden our mindset,” to “be inclusive,” and to accept that a biological male could use the women’s changing rooms simply because he said he was a woman.

When we raised safeguarding concerns, concerns no reasonable person could dismiss, we were the ones pushed aside, belittled, and forced into a makeshift “temporary” space that was unsafe and dehumanising.

The tribunal’s ruling affirms that women’s rights cannot be overwritten by internal policies or political pressure. It affirms that our concerns were legitimate, and that the trust’s treatment of us was discriminatory and unlawful.

But this judgment must also serve as a warning.

Across the NHS, there are countless women who feel they cannot speak, who fear being labelled or punished simply for wanting the privacy and safety they are entitled to.

The Government has still not published the lawful guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. NHS leadership continues to prioritise ideological policies over the real needs of frontline staff.

Our victory today is a step forward, not just for us, but for every woman in the NHS.

We hope it gives others the courage to speak, and we urge those in authority to finally listen. Women deserve better. And we will keep standing up until they get it."
