Here’s reminder of the speakers on our four panels at Feminism: What's the Point? 1/6

MEN AND WOMEN PREFER SINGLE SEX PROVISION

A very clear and consistent poll result 👇 that demonstrates what we all know. Men and women overwhelmingly prefer privacy, dignity and safety in the presence of their own sex in changing rooms and toilets. Ask a clear question: they gave a clear answer!

[WRN Devon and Cornwall @WRNDevCornwall]

@podsavetheuk Ah great. Men telling women that our consent doesn’t matter. How progressive

@ThomasWillett9 Lesbians are the original TERFs

[Mia Hughes @_CryMiaRiver]

Can you think of anything more homophobic than telling lesbians they must accept paraphilic heterosexual men into their dating pool?

Actually yes.

Transing away the gay in gender clinics.

This is the message those celebrating Pride Season need to hear.

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

Let's get this petition trending as #MotheringSunday approaches. It is outrageous that the NHS is erasing all words that relate to being female from its healthcare messaging. It's offensive, derogatory and dangerous for the health of women and girls.

We are grateful to Baroness Cash for her proposed amendment for the police to record sex accurately.

@Fox_Claire outlined the case superbly👇, including WRN's own communications with the NPCC @PoliceChiefs, who, like the Government, have their feet set firmly in treacle.

The need for correct sex data has been clearly demonstrated by @ProfAliceS in her excellent report.

Meanwhile, as demonstrated by WRN's own FOIs to police forces, including that of @ASPolice (referenced below by @CforWomenUK), sex is either not being recorded at all, or is being conflated with 'gender', and is entirely based on self ID. Some of the perverse consequences of this wholesale corruption of data are large numbers of 'female rapists' recorded.

As a result, no one can rely on the integrity or credibility of police data with regard to sex. This is unacceptable.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

Thank you @mimsdavies for raising the work done by WRN on the important issue of sexual assaults on women in our hospitals.

Action to tackle this effectively is long overdue. It is totally unacceptable that women are exposed to this, and as you state: "perpetrators are getting away with it".

Clearly not much has changed at all since our report "When we are at our most vulnerable", was published in 2023 👇

Women across the UK are STILL waiting for the Supreme Court ruling to be fully implemented and adhered to. The EHRC Code of Practice is STILL gathering dust in @bphillipsonMP's in-box.

We simply do not agree with the assertion by @SeemaMalhotra1 that suggestions of delay are 'completely wrong'. Feet are being dragged, and this has been kicked into the long grass. Prove us wrong!

Thank you for your question @ClaireCoutinho

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

This is an epidemic of sex based violence being perpetrated by men on women. An epidemic that has been happening in plain sight for many, many years and is not abating.
People have become so used to the murder of women taking place, the scale of it barely registers, and is dangerously close to being accepted as ‘normality’.
Violence on this level does not happen in a vacuum. It happens in a society when girls and women are devalued, disregarded and dismissed.

On this #IWD26 our midwife members take a look at how maternity care has changed over the last few decades. We would have hoped things might have improved for women and babies but unfortunately many things have not. If anything maternity care is worse now than back in the 1980s!

🧵Today we went to watch the #InternationalWomensDay2026 parade in Derby.

Watch? You ask. Why are you not taking part?

Because we've been told that SOME women are not welcome.

By whom? you ask. Surely a public event on IWD is open to all women? - & therin lies a tale ... /1

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

For every verbal commitment we hear from Sir Mark Rowley and other chief officers, we then read of the reality for female officers.

From expecting them to share toilets and showers with male colleagues, to asking them to strip search male detainees, to persecuting them for daring to expose predatory colleagues.
Something is terribly wrong in policing. The current approach will not fix it. Chief officers aren’t listening.

A couple of clips on how farcical and bad proceedings were at Devon County Council Tuesday when Cllrs Hill & Nash attempted to move a child safeguarding Motion. @ProtectTeach @WRNDevCornwall @nickwallis @jo_bartosch @robjessel16 @banger_uk @Glinner https://t.co/u4eaU6ctzj

[Venice Allan @roseveniceallan]

The NHS chemically castrated around 2000 prepubescent children at the disgraced ‘Gender Identity Development Service’ and refuse to release the data on what happened to them. We need a national inquiry, not a clinical trial!

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

Wow. This may be just a pause.
But it’s a significant pause as increasingingly the real concerns cannot be ignored.
Now listen @wesstreeting. Make that pause permanent.
STOP THE PUBERTY BLOCKER TRIAL

Language used for women around pregnancy and childbirth is important for women's dignity and experience within the NHS. It is time to stop messing about with “inclusive” language, and say it as it is: women give birth and women breast feed. Women need maternity leave to care for the baby and to recover from pregnancy. There is no "and".

@justsay_mother @MollieBoss @SEENinHealth The only people they listen to are service users and Maternity Voices groups (certainly not staff), who are unfortunately captured by this ideology. It needs service users to object.
