Chris Whitty really doesn’t deserve this, and we are 100% behind him.

Please RT if you are too.

Watching an interviewee describe themselves as non-binary, saying “that means I don’t really fit into female or male stereotypes”.

Given that we all have a mix of masculine and feminine traits and nobody fits stereotypes exactly, by that definition, are we not all non-binary?

I've been going to Pride on & off since the mid 80's & I don't recall any of the top speakers there having a history of kidnap, torture & attempted murder while bearing a placard inciting death to a children's author. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

Thanks @dailymaverick & @craigray11 for the back page of this week’s paper, for an article analyzing the fairness-inclusion tension, and biological realities of sport in the #transgender athlete issue.

Sentimental Thread Warning!

Yesterday, I was blocked by @OwenJones84. The crime? Challenging, respectfully, his use of inflammatory language on the topic of sex and gender. Previously, I had reached out to Owen, extending an invite to debate the issues, which went ignored. (1/5)

If you’re so concerned about the Observer backing free speech “in Pride month”, then I dare say this footage of lesbians being physically attacked while actually on a Pride march will horrify you beyond measure.

Because I prepared notes for @LBC this morning. Here they are in a thread. @sainsburys are introducing “gender neutral” I.e. mixed sex toilets and changing rooms across their stores. A whistleblower says this is due to advice from @stonewalluk

To all my fellow Seattleites + Pacific Northwest folks experiencing this #ClimateEmergency caused #heatwave, please stay safe.

The majority of our homes are not air conditioned because we are built to withstand cold, not heat.

Watch out for #heatstroke and #heat exhaustion:

"I demand the right to decide how you perceive me."
"I demand the right to decide how you speak to/about me."
"I demand the right to identify into a demographic I am not part of and force its members to include me."

👆This is not a struggle for "equal" rights.

@ZubyMusic How does a person know what it feels like to be another gender… without stereotyping?

Despite stereotypes and negative statistics, the @BlackSwimAssoc are dedicated to opening up the world of swimming.

As part of our @AdidasLondon partnership, we caught up with Seren Jones about their work

RT if you agree @TwitterSafety must suspend @pastorlocke for hate speech against black politicians like @KamalaHarris and spreading misinformation, i.e., big trump lie, covid & biden administration pedophile conspiracies. Listen to him do so in video.

It’s not a resignation, it’s an execution. Someone has been sitting on that footage for a long time. So why now? To what end?
