Hmmm.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

I am suing PCS Union and need help to fund my case. PCS called for a preliminary hearing to stop the indirect discrimination element of my case. They were unsuccessful but this extra step added to my costs. Help me by contributing or sharing thank you. https://t.co/6tWcRAFZK5

Keep prisons single sex - why housing men in women's jails is unlawful and cruel. https://t.co/AYsyFX554M

What does decriminalising sex work mean in practice? New infographics!

‘Decriminalisation of sex work’, also known as ‘decrim’, means the full decriminalisation of the entire prostitution system. In other words, all aspects of the sex trade are decriminalised and selling sex, buying sex, pimping, brothels and advertising prostitution all become legal.

I have good news. I'm delighted to share that Judge Campbell refused PCS Union's strike out application rejecting their argument that my indirect discrimination case had no reasonable chance of success. You can read my update here: https://t.co/6tWcRAFZK5

Not a lawyer, but have a brain. The endless convo on toilets is getting boring. So let’s have a look at what single sex spaces actually are & how they work. There’s basically 3 categories 🧵

Please take time to read about women organizing in PCS Union. They have laid motions on VAWG and spoken out against motions challenging the EHRC code of practice. Support their important efforts by listening to a speech and reading one motion they tabled. https://t.co/FZaAgLoF0j

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I challenge every single person who believes minors should be enabled and even encouraged to transition to read this first person testimony to the end.

🧵 Why is @unisontheunion campaigning against the @EHRC's Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations?

[Billboard Chris 🌎 @BillboardChris]

Marci Bowers, former president of WPATH, admits that all the boys who started puberty blockers at Tanner Stage 2 have never been able to have an orgasm.

They are destroying the future adult sexual function of thousands of children who can’t possibly understand what that means.

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store. @SexMattersOrg

@AttitudeMag Gross and the reason so many won’t vote green. What’s a woman? Hmmm?

‘How long before UK Jobcentres move from encouraging unemployed women into OnlyFans to mandating it?’

This disturbing new post explains how UK job centres are already encouraging OnlyFans as self-employment for unemployed women, while stories emerge of male job coaches seeking free access to their ‘content’.

“… The first time I heard OnlyFans mentioned in my capacity as a Work Coach was when a colleague, who clearly thought he was doing the decent thing, declared on the office floor, which from 9-5pm is a public space, that he could not continue to work with a particular claimant because he knew her from OnlyFans. I believe this is the shape of things to come.

The second time was a few months later, during a three-day online training session on how to deliver self-employment guidance to claimants running their own businesses. Inexplicably, the (middle-aged, female) trainer highlighted training scenarios using OnlyFans, rather than, say, a book-keeping or catering business, and this seemed to unleash a steady stream of puerile comments from participants throughout the training that went entirely unchallenged by the facilitators.

Additionally, colleagues relayed experiences of OnlyFans content creators offering Work Coaches free access to sexualised content and one instance of a Work Coach contacting a claimant on OnlyFans after obtaining their details through an appointment at the Jobcentre. It is a sackable offence for Work Coaches to use information gleaned from confidential databases for personal use, although this Work Coach remains in post.

During this training session, one of the facilitators alluded to the fact she’d been in trouble for encouraging OnlyFans engagement, while her co-facilitator confirmed that the DWP regards OnlyFans as a legitimate source of self-employed income that can and should be taxed…”

Here’s Simone Biles competing against a male gymnast and getting absolutely humiliated.

Is she sure she’s ok with men in women’s sports?

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Under no circumstance should men be able to be considered women in law. It serves absolutely no useful or positive purpose.

@easyJet apparently we should have taken off 20 mins ago … we’re all still waiting to board. Any useful update?
