Twitter I need help - my 14 year old wants to read the best books for and against trans idealogy, I’m thinking Helen Joyce on one side but stuck as to what to recommend on the other?
Oliver Dowden says Gary Lineker should stay out of politics.

I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/
@LozzaFox@rustyrockets YouTube are entitled to decide that they don’t want RB on their platform based on the media reporting. That isn’t the same as a criminal conviction. If he didn’t do what he’s been accused of then he’s got recourse against the media through the courts.
@billybragg@jk_rowling@toddtempleman The lesbian is saying I’m gay and I wish to be treated equally (allowed to marry etc..), we don’t need to interrogate their claim that they are gay because all they are asking for is equal treatment. The trans person says treat me differently, I need special rules
@billybragg@jk_rowling@toddtempleman The something intangible that no one can see is the claim that despite being biologically male, they are somehow (how?) female inside. How can you not see that this is fundamentally different to a person having (and wishing to be left alone to act upon) a sexual preference
@hyperionhostile @KatyMontgomerie Hi Jack, that’s an argument for doing away with single sex toilets (which until quite recently was viewed as entirely normal and sensible from a safeguarding perspective) altogether. Have you entirely thought this through?
@betterme Hi @betterme how do I get your customer services team to respond to me? You have taken a renewal payment that wasn’t authorised and my emails are being ignored. Thanks
@EmsTheKat@TokenBird @DeathgodJoselyn @redlianak She isn’t saying that 🤣 she’s saying no one should be assumed to be innocent just because they are part of a ‘special group’. You’ve got it backwards
@RottenInDenmark Except she isn’t. She’s essentially saying that a man declaring that he is a transwoman doesn’t (and shouldn’t) change the way we approach safeguarding and single sex spaces, i.e they should be treated as the biological males that they are. It’s not that hard to understand.
@MaidOfClava @RugbyKids_@spikedonline No it’s not. If you allow Izzard in because he is harmless (not sure how you can be certain of this) then you’re also letting in all other men who self id, including the weird / dangerous stalkers.
@karenedavies68 @NoireLabete@FrancesW05@FreddyQuinne 😂 Bit of a logic fail there Karen. The argument is that you can’t consent for women who don’t consent. The fact that some other women consent doesn’t change that.
