[Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls @UNSRVAW]

Why does the safety of incarcerated women not matter? Housing males in women prisons, particularly predators, perpetrators of femicide and violence against women goes against all common sense, the principles of dignity, safety and equality of women. Women i prison are entilef to those rights too! It has gone on for too long and must stop immediately!

Here’s what all the organisations have said about the Bill :

[Jeannie McCrimmon @IndyLassie]

Sturgeon demanded
women's groups had an inclusive trans policy to qualify for govt funding.

The women refused, and Sturgeon withdrew every penny.

A massive transfer of essential government funding for rape crisis and breastfeeding centres went from women to men.

[Schrödinger's Lesbian ⚢ @IsleLesbos]

Another one to remember. Jean O’Leary calling out the misogyny of drag, addressing Rivera directly at NYC Gay Pride 1973. Have a listen. Lesbians were already fighting against the misogyny inherent in drag culture back then. Same old misogyny today. Even worse as men skin walk us

@CountDeadWomen @AWeeWumman Every story is awful. Each one finds its mark in a different way. What a terrible way for Jenny’s life to end. We must always remember her name. Thank you for ensuring that the fact of these terrible crimes of violence are being committed by men against women is not forgotten.

MONSTER! Am having that xxx

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

Before we took -ess from French, -ster was the native English way to make a word refer to females. An actress was a “playster” (plegestre), a female baker was a “baxter” (bæcestre), a female weaver was a “webster” (webbestre), and a female dancer was a “hopster” (hoppestre).

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

@QcWynter @poz_woods The term 'cisgender' was used throughout documents prepared for us on HoC Women and Equalities Select Committee yesterday, despite it's dictionary definition being 'not trans'. So a contested term that many women (51% of UK pop) find offensive, just slipped in to official docs...

Disability Rights UK opposes the law of the land, specifically the Equality Act 2010.

It also opposes the disabled people it purports to represent.

It places a far, far greater priority on the wishes and feelings of men who say they are women than on the needs of disabled people.

In all its talk of healthcare and the lamenting of gender-addled people being placed on wards relating to their sex, it does not *once* mention the necessity of single-sex intimate care for disabled women.

It does not say that disabled women should be allowed to choose the sex of the person carrying out their intimate care, which most often takes place in the woman's own home, far from supervision.

It sees this as a far lesser priority than men being allowed to invade female wards, where they are known to be a danger.

Could there possibly be more of an indication that Disability Rights UK has *entirely* lost its way and is no longer a disability rights charity at all?

The charity's statement does say one thing that initially seems to support disabled people:

"We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead."

I fully agree. However, it goes on to explain that its concern is not about disabled people who will lose our accessible facilities altogether if anyone and everyone is permitted to use them, but for the men who will be sad if they can't invade women's spaces.

Not "accessible spaces are under threat of colonisation by the able-bodied", but "we will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights."

That is exactly the wrong way around.

Disabled people have known for a decade that the major disability charities are hopelessly captured. They're pulling a Stonewall by going after easy money and cheap non-solutions to the problems disabled people face every day. They're throwing us under the same bus Stonewall threw same-sex attracted people under.

We've known this and we've tried to fight it but we haven't been heard.

The gender war against disabled people is about to intensify and we don't have many allies.

Can I ask you to share this, to demand answers from the major disability charities if you can and to remember that gender ideology is not just a war on women, children and same-sex attracted people, it's a war on disabled people too.

And we often feel as though we're fighting it on our own.

This EDM therefore sheds useful light on where the strongest opposition lies in the UK Parliament to women being able to (say) enter a changing room, a DV shelter or a counselling session, confident that only other women are allowed in. https://t.co/RoFGECGX61

[Lucy Hunter Blackburn @LucyHunterB]

Some signs therefore of a push to get more Labour names added (and maybe stop the list looking so blokey, once past the headline half dozen sponsors?).

A parliamentary process doesn't just give MPs a chance to make their views known, it brings transparency for those outside too/

[Lucy Hunter Blackburn @LucyHunterB]

Prize available for anyone who can find a 2024 GE household election leaflet from a Lib Dem which sets out their opposition to the sort of policies reflected in the revised code./

[Genevieve Gluck @WomenReadWomen]

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has been forced to move office after attacks by trans activists.

The EHRC recently told businesses and public bodies to bar trans-identified males from using women’s toilets and changing facilities.

Trans terrorism is terrorism.

@Variety Dirty Dancing showed the dangers of making abortion illegal. Women die from backstreet abortions not safe legal procedures.

@WombsNotForRent Thanks. Good to know I didn’t get it (annoying but funny really!) will delete in a mo.

Alcohol did not cause his behaviour. Misogyny & entitlement did.

If alcohol caused his behaviour he would have done this to a man. Name the problem.

Thank you to @BTP for arresting this man- already a known stalker -for his inexcusable behaviour.

[Shambo of Luxembourg @BradfemlyWalsh]

Why has the BBC got incels writing its headlines? This huge man, already a known stalker, grabbed this young woman by the hair, tried to sit on her, said gross things and tried to force her to kiss him, for 15 minutes until stopped. He absolutely does deserve this sentence.

[Eleanor Hill @artefactoid]

@DaibloRoja @Sorelle_Arduino @belladonna_bel Yeah you will find different things troublesome to me. It’s allowed. You may not be best placed to judge misogyny though.

[Eleanor Hill @artefactoid]

One benefit of @BBCRadio4 s A Good Read is the sideways look you get at the contributors. Terry Deary describing Sue Townsend’s characterisation as predictable was an eye opener. Horrible in a non-historic way.
