biological sex is real. I have a personality not a gender.

We all know exactly why you don’t want this video to be shared. Your officers were already on the scene, they stood by and watched the white lad get knocked down, then only moved in to arrest him once he was back on his feet. Have you still not learned anything from Henry’s case? This is disgusting and completely unacceptable. The officers involved must be properly investigated, and the man should be released immediately.

What on earth is going on here?

Parliament voted to abolish blasphemy laws back in 2008 — 18 years ago.

The Government’s decision to introduce a non-statutory official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — has effectively revived blasphemy laws for Islam alone.

In a free society, no religion should be afforded greater protection than another. We are losing our fundamental right to legitimately criticise and debate a single religion in this country.

It is not a criminal offence in this country to criticise or mock the Prophet Muhammad.

I've been sitting on the evidence for this Girlguiding story since March.

Even then, it took months to persuade a mainstream publication to cover this aspect of the investigation.

For an independent journalist, pursuing a story like this without the backing of a national newspaper's legal team carries obvious risks. But I persisted because I believe there is a strong public interest in asking whether organisations entrusted with the care of girls are putting safeguarding first.

This investigation involved months of conversations, verification and painstaking work. Unsurprisingly, some people have suggested that concerns about these issues are exaggerated. That is why I'm sharing some of the publicly available material I found online.

To be absolutely clear, there is no suggestion that this individual has done anything wrong.

Indeed one could argue he has also been failed by a system that affirmed and accepted him as a Girlguiding leader and later appointed him to a 16-person advisory committee - apparently without sufficient scrutiny of his suitability for the role.

The greater failure, however, was towards the girls and women who should never have been expected to accept males in a single-sex organisation.

I hope this story helps explain why many women believe this debate has never simply been about being "kind". It is about safeguarding, boundaries and whose interests are prioritised.

I'm grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to light, including women who spoke to me privately and helped with research. And @Glinner who reminded me how important it was to tell this story.

And I do think we should ask why it was so difficult to secure national coverage of a story that many people would regard as being firmly in the public interest.

Possibly, as Minister for Health, James Murray could compel the adult gender clinics to hand over the data they refused to give to Cass. We might then find out just how much benefit these interventions confer long term, without needing to perform experiments on children too young to give meaningful consent.

Read the testimony of the ever-expanding numbers of detransitioners. Grasp that these young people, many of them extremely vulnerable - autistic, care-experienced, abuse survivors, same-sex attracted in unsupportive families - have been irreparably harmed, left with their fertility destroyed, unending medical complications and profound psychological damage.

This is a medical scandal of epic proportions and people of power and influence are still too frightened of trans activists and trans lobby groups to do the right thing and put an end to the insanity. Kids are being sacrificed to ideology and cowardice.

Scottish taxpayers, against the vast majority’s will, funded an attempt by the government to keep men in women’s prisons. Never have I been so tempted to move to Monaco and give all the money I’ve been paying in tax to groups fighting the rank misogyny of Swinney’s government.

I hate seeing the LGB movement that’s made so many important strides, being taken over by the T&Q (what ever the Q actually stand for?) but one things for sure no way must these men ever ever be allowed in changing rooms with our daughters 👇🏼

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

It is advisable to have a sceptic & not just cheerleaders on board during any "trial", precisely because it is a "trial".
Cheerleaders all look one way.
The sceptic occasionally looks over shoulder to see what may have been missed.
Same applies in law.
Trial teams need a sceptic.

Fascinating day at #PrideinLondon! Which brands are still flying the flag for gender ideology? How many employers have quietly stepped away - and what does this tell us about the fading power of staff networks? Full analysis coming soon - stay tuned!

Ah love this! Everyone is welcome at Pride. Apart from Jews. Love is love. Be kind. No place for hate. ❤️ 🏳️‍⚧️

This is deeply concerning.

Photographer Alastair Hilton was enjoying a pint with a friend when two Metropolitan Police officers tracked him down and warned him about his posts on social media.

Mr Hilton was asked to step outside the pub, where the officers read out the section of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 under which they threatened to arrest him should he cross the line.

This was all because Mr Hilton had shared a post protesting the actions of a local Green councillor, who had successfully campaigned to remove the outdoor seating from three pubs on the Thames riverside near his home.

While we do not approve of intimidating public office holders at their homes, gathering at a pub in the vicinity of a councillor’s house and standing up for your right to sit outside and enjoy a beer is not a crime.

We can already see how this legislation — with this provision having come into force only on 29th June — can be manipulated to silence dissent.

The Met Police again appear more interested in dealing with free speech disputes online rather than tackling real crime.

@London_W4, the FSU will write to you today.

I am very sorry that Stephanie Rebecca Hayden cannot move on with his life.

Since I was cleared of any wrongdoing in 2023, together with his friends, this man has spent his time abusing me and dehumanising me online on a daily basis.

It’s going to take years to root this out. Hey ho. I will give it all the time I have.

“You can’t have women only spaces, but here is a police barrier to protect you from the men who demand access to women only spaces while you women talk about wanting women only spaces”

Like… FFS.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

We’ve all had a few days to sit with @JuliaGillard’s declaration of whoops and as the minutes go by, the angrier I get. Not just at the admission that, basically, it was a “regret” to open up the legal category of women to men, but at the reluctance to admit it was wrong.

And the fact that it’s only now, after amazing UK women & men are putting on pressure by turning up to her events to remind of her of the whooosy, that she dares to say anything.

Not when @jk_rowling was getting countless r*pe & d*ath threat from the very men these kind of laws were changed to include.

Not when a man in his 50s took a pregnant woman (🙋‍♀️) to federal court, using that very specific Australian law change & institutional capture to his advantage.

Not when @ActiveLesbians were told by the Australian Human Rights Commission that heterosexual men who claim to be lesbians must be included in lesbian events.

Not when @martina came under attack for defending women’s sport, years after already battling for LGB rights.

Not when @KirralieS was dragged through courts for bringing attention to MEN who claim to be women in womens sport.

Not when that very league told the women in that sport if they so much as walk off the field because men are on it *they* will be punished.

Not when media started reporting on school girls not drinking WATER at school because boys were in the only unisex bathroom available to them & no adults would help them.

Not when women prisoners finally got word to the outside that they were in cells with MALE SEX OFFENDERS, locked up with them only because the Gillard amendments to the sex discrimination act (arguably) allowed it.

Not when Jasmine Sussex’s life was turned upside down for stating the fact that men cannot breastfeed infants, and because men can be women in law suddenly she’s the bad guy.

Not when the sex discrimination commissioner told senate estimates that men who claim to be women can have pregnancy protections in law but women can’t have single sex spaces, thereby interpreting the Gillard amendments to give men protections they don’t need while taking away women’s protections we do need.

Not when countless women in Australia and around the world were and are being punished for saying NO to this absolute bullsh-t that men can be women in law.

She said nothing until it started to interrupt her day in the mildest of ways. It’s pathetic.
