CHILD TRANSITION will be the medical scandal of our time. 4 major studies have come out in the past year (1 still at pre-print stage). These papers address key issues in the debate on treatment of minors experiencing gender dysphoria (GD). They are undoing decades of misinformation.
Jo’s comment reflects the frustration of many women present yesterday at the manner in which the event was policed. Any woman with a concern should email her MSP as policing is a devolved matter.
What really upsets me is that young men in particular are being encouraged to believe that aggression and intimidation are the best way to win an argument and that women who refuse to shut up are the problem. That this is presented as radical and progressive makes me weep.
@DalgetySusan@PoliceScotland It was extraordinary. Struggling to think of any other situation which would be policed this way. Watching police stand by and allow men to surround and scream abuse at a peaceful gathering of women, even facilitating their actions, felt deeply uncomfortable.
Within the context of the Tickle versus Giggle case before the Federal Court of Australia, the @AusHumanRights recently asked me to give it input on the meaning of the word #woman in the CEDAW. The following statement is based on my reply to the commission while expanding some of the supporting arguments 👉https://t.co/mQB1MTzBwR
Astonishing amount of space given in this updated piece to comments from India Willoughby from last night’s Reporting Scotland.
The BBC has never written up anything from @ForWomenScot or @mbmpolicy in this amount of detail.

Here we are.
Stonewall recognizes that "misgendering" is something like "criticising religion"
Is it criminal to criticise religion ? ❌
Is it harassment to criticize religion? ❌
Would it be lawful for an employer to require staff never to criticize religion? ❌
Women don't require fellow females to serve as flattering mirrors, human shields or surrogate mothers, but a certain kind of man expects such services as a right. Petulant demands for women's coddling and compliance don't prove you're female, they reveal outsize male entitlement.
Why has @guardian used the dehumanising phrase 'ovary owners' in place of 'women' in its headline? Author of the article seems to know which sex goes through menopause, so presumably it's a misogynist editor who wants to erase women. Sick of this sexism.

William Wragg has admitted that he gave the personal phone numbers of fellow MPs to a man he met on Grindr. He is at least the third Tory MP who is a member of trans activist body LGBT+ Conservatives to have become embroiled in a legal and sexual scandal in this parliament alone
'Our daughters stayed quiet because they are afraid. We tried to speak up for them, and we were shut down... name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued.'

She didn't target anyone 'of colour''. That the individuals in question were persons 'of colour' was incidental. JK also highlighted cases involving white people. Maugham knows this. But he has chosen to portray her tweets in a dishonest way to make a cheap political point.
Transgender Day of Visibility:

Remember their names.
Lior Waitzman, 32, was shot by Hamas while he was on an early morning bike ride around his home city of Sderot on October 7th. He was training for a half-Ironman contest that was only a few weeks away.
He managed to call his wife Limor and told her that he was shot, but nobody was able to make it in time. He would never see Limor nor their four-year-old son Kfir again.
A talented sound technician, Lior had worked on many popular Israeli shows, such as “Fauda,” “Tehran,” “Unorthodox” and “The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem."
When his headstone was unveiled, Lior's young son climbed on top of it in order to hug and kiss his father "one last time."
Limor explains that “Kfir asks a lot of questions. I explained to him that bad people killed Dad and he really wanted to come back to Kfir but he couldn’t, and now it’s just Mom and Kfir.”
A young family has been torn apart, for nothing.
May Lior's memory be a blessing.
#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin & moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she witnessed a rapid increase in Hitler's popularity. 1/12
