@janeclarejones You could argue that all actors are 'gender non-conforming' because they wear makeup, but then men sometimes did at various periods of history. It all goes to show that 'gender identity' is ephemeral and shifts over cultures and time. It means nothing, in fact, but sex does!
NYC 1973, Women's protest at the American Museum of Natural History. Women rolled a lavender dinosaur up to the steps of the museum, advocating for the inclusion of women in the exhibitions which, at the time, focussed entirely on men and mankind throughout history. I was there.
A very clear statement from @trussliz on single sex spaces in @thetimes !
Time for @EHRC to issue clear guidance

The horrifying BBL stories I’ve received in my dms that people have seen their love ones go through is truly tragic. I can’t believe BBLs have become a trend in this life, let’s stop normalizing it, it is egregious
Our inboxes are flooded this morning with the same heartbreaking question: "What do I advise women to do if they're approached by a lone, male @metpoliceuk officer?" Our answer, in memory of #SarahEverard is:
Sadly, #sport administrators in #Canada 🇨🇦 do NOT seem to get it!!
So narrowly focused upon the (presumed!) “oppression” of a male person that they are willing to compromise ALL of women’s #sports.
For the #GenderTaliban the #female#athlete is the human shield.

In other news:
The Taliban have erased the name of the Women's Ministry in Kabul.
The new name is:
'The Department for promotion of virtue and prevention of vice’ 🇦🇫
#WarOnWomen
The University of Pennsylvania has erased the name of a suffragette from their Women's Studies hub.
The new name of the Alice Paul Center is the
“Center for Research in Feminist, Queer & Transgender Studies.” 🇺🇸

@karen_actually @StoatlyL So ridiculous to change SEX on a form. Like did they change chromosomes? LOL
Its funny how its not even a “gender” box where it wouldnt matter, but changing the sex of someone for healthcare is counterintuitive to say the least
I really dislike that this intrusive rhetoric towards lesbians is becoming so widespread. Male people just thinking they are lesbians because they fancy lesbians. And that lesbians must accept this. No.
This isn’t a trans thing. It’s an entitlement thing.
Shouts of “shame!” and boos as a Labour delegate tells the conference hall she stands with Rosie Duffield and she will defend her right to hold her views on biological sex.
@LabelFreeBrands What bother's me the most is the fact that they're always nb girls binding their chest, never nb boys binding their testicles or whatever.
The misogynystic message is very clear.
