@hecheateddotorg It's not that she doesn't know about all the examples and displacements. No-one who knows anything about this can possibly be unaware at this stage.
It's a wilfully driven, lying narrative that it's just "one or two" males in order to wrest empathy from the many females affected
@runthinkwrite@SportandRights The word "safety" not mentioned once. "Safeguarding" gets a look in but I'll bet that isn't related to safety in sport or changing facilities for females.

Every day now is filled with phone calls from finders of out-in-the-day hedgehogs. And they are all saying the same thing: "We brought him in, put him in a box and gave him food, he was starving."
They don't realise, but these sweet kind people have just sealed this hedgehog's fate.
Please NEVER feed a daytime wildlife casualty.
I know, it's so hard not to.
When we see a suffering animal we feel a strong, innate impulse to help, and a desire to provide immediate tangible comfort; equating food with survival and care.
Feeding feels like a direct, immediate and nurturing action to alleviate suffering.
Yet it is the most catastrophically harmful thing you could ever do.
Especially hedgehogs out in the day, who will be hypothermic.
It takes a lot of energy to digest food, energy these compromised animals just don't have spare.
Every last bit of their energy is being used to maintain vital bodily functions - to keep the heart beating, to oxygenate the organs.
Forcing energy away from these critical functions for something as non-critical as digesting food will be a death sentence.
It won't be immediate, it may take hours, or a couple of days, but eventually, no matter what the experienced rescue you later take them to tries, the animal is already on the unstoppable journey into shock, organ failure and death.
It's tragic for the casualty and heartbreaking for the rescues.
So please help in the right way.
An out-in-the-day hedgehog needs *contact* warmth, a safe indoor space away from flies, and cover to reduce their stress (please see advice below).
They are not going to die of starvation in the couple of hours between you finding them, and getting them to a rescue.😊
And please remember - any website that gives you DIY information on caring for or feeding injured or orphaned wildlife is, by default, wrong.
The ONLY right action is to get them to a good rescue (never a vet) where their complex needs can be met.
Even if you have seen this vital information before and understand it, feeding wildlife casualties is a powerful compulsion because it directly activates human instincts of empathy and compassion, often overriding the scientific advice against it.
So please remember this warning and spread it as far as you can.
Helping a wildlife casualty get to the expert treatment they need is an incredibly kind, altruistic act of great humanity.
Just remember to provide them with what they need, not what you need.🥰
@TikTokSupport Why have you removed a video of my speech in the House of Commons on protecting women’s sport? How does telling the truth and standing up for women violate your community guidelines?
@confide25@JeanHatchet@TessW62@latsot I've never heard him "supporting trans people" off his own bat, i.e. without it coming up and him HAVING to answer or in any context other than taking a snip at someone else, and we all know who.
@TonyinNY@Ravious101 The customer shouldn't have to flag down a server but in busy restaurants, customers sometimes get missed. They just need to be adults and speak up politely for themselves.
And 5 minutes is very early to start filming.
Gleeful evidence gathering to get something for nothing??
@Perky_43 Another joke non-deterrent sentence.
And a wasted opportunity to take money off him and give it to the charity.
What is WRONG with the UK "justice" system, ffs??!!!
