📷 BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has found that California’s women’s prisons failed to protect female prisoners from sexual abuse and harassment by staff.
California knew. Women were harmed. The state failed to protect them!
Women should not surrender their right to safety, dignity, or bodily integrity when they enter state custody. Women’s rights are nonnegotiable—and every institution that fails to protect them must be held accountable.

I’ve used a simple test for years to expose the absurdity of pure self-identification on sex.
What if President Trump announced today that he identified as a woman and therefore demanded to be recorded in the history books as America’s first female president?
The progressive left — the same voices that have insisted for a decade that identification alone is enough — would erupt in ridicule and rejection.
That reaction would be the tell.
Hardcore gender activists treat sex as fluid and ever-changing: declare yourself a woman one day, a man the next. Biology and science are dismissed as irrelevant. The predictable result is men in women’s prisons, rape counseling centers, domestic-violence shelters, and female-only sports.
Self-identification is how you get there. Ive reported about this from Scotland to California.
Now two former NBA players are applying the WNBA’s own stated logic and declaring themselves women under the league’s rules. Gender progressives rush to insist the players “aren’t serious.”
Exactly. Neither is gender self-identification serious.
Once activists reject even one high-profile declaration, they concede the entire framework is selective and political. You either accept every claim without exception, or you admit that evidence, consistency, and material reality still matter.
The moment they pick and choose whose “identity” counts, the charade collapses.
It has always been a farce. It is long past time to say so plainly.
Mixed-sex changing rooms are a green light for sex offences like exposure and voyeurism. Some men who commit these offences progress to more violent crimes like rape and murder. These councils are elevating male feelings, demands and desires above female safety.
"Judge says transgender prison guidance will be quashed
The campaign group For Women Scotland has won a legal guarantee that rules that allowed trans inmates into women’s jails cannot be revived.
Women’s rights campaigners have won a legal guarantee that the Scottish government’s transgender prison guidance can never be implemented again"

“It’s a man’s world”, and sometimes the criminal justice system manages to prove the point with brutal clarity.
On LBC, Shelagh Fogarty asks the question that should stop anyone in their tracks: how can a man already facing serious sexual allegations be released on bail and then go on to commit rape and murder, while women guilty of relatively minor, non-violent offences can end up behind bars?
Of course there must be a presumption of innocence, but justice also has a duty to assess risk. Where credible allegations of serious sexual violence already exist, public safety cannot simply be shrugged aside until another woman becomes the evidence.
That isn’t an argument for excusing crime. It is an argument for proportion, priorities and common sense.
Prison should protect the public from dangerous offenders. Yet we have built a system capable of throwing the full weight of the state at women caught at the bottom of society, often dealing with poverty, debt, coercion and family responsibilities, while somehow failing to contain men already accused of serious sexual violence.
That is where this discussion becomes uncomfortable.
A woman stealing because she cannot feed herself, or sinking beneath debts and fines she cannot pay, is not a danger to the public. She becomes an example.
The justice system turns her into the warning poster nailed to the wall: pay what is demanded, comply with the system, or feel the weight of the state.
Because once enough people discover that poverty can make payment impossible, the whole machinery of fines, fees and compulsory subscriptions begins to look rather less like justice and rather more like enforcement.
Of course, we've all had hard times and men are caught in the same machinery of debt, poverty and low-level offending. And there lies the real question about crime and punishment. Why are we prepared to use prison against people who present little danger to anybody, while repeatedly discovering that people who may present a very serious danger are outside the prison gate?
A justice system should be judged first by how well it protects the public, not by how efficiently it punishes the poor.

Under the conversion practices bill "a mother refusing to consent to her daughter taking testosterone injections could face up to five years in prison."
The threat of that is enough to scare parents into submission.

By request, I’ve turned my recent post on sex vs. gender identity into a short essay so it has a permanent home in my essay section on Substack and is easier to find, reference and share.
You Can Test for Sex. You Can’t Test for Transgender.

Met Police saying they are dealing with 10k reg s*x offenders; a number growing by 100 every 3 mnth.
Google says the no. of male SO over 60 yo has grown by 243% in last 20yrs.
P*rn a major driver of both. UK p*rn generates £1bn + The industry needs to pay for it’s harms
7 months prior to torturing and murdering a 7 year old boy, he assaulted a woman by pulling a gun and punching her teeth out. Police only charged him w/ a misdemeanor. If he had gotten a felony, he would have still been in jail and not able to kill the boy https://t.co/9VutxUti2P
Well there was not a single trans black woman when we launched the UK Gay Liberation Front. It was mostly gay men with a few lesbians. Same in the US. Ask @FredSargeant.
The early transsexual rights organizations were explicitly homophobic. They saw us as sexual deviants and didn’t want to be associated with us. Later on, they saw they could do better by joining us. It was a tragic mistake for LGB groups to embrace “gender identity” - which is a sexist, anti-gay concept.
But we are reviving the LGB rights movement!

Amidst the unbelievably offensive chat re brothels and men's 'needs', I just had word that a dear friend and colleague in the sex trade abolitionist movement has died. Had it not been for what men did to her during the time she was prostituted she could have lived to old age. 💔
ALC’s view of what makes a woman is classic misogyny which views women who are not being p*betrayed by men as nothing, something sub-human! So nuns, young v*rgins, & all not in relationships don’t count. Special misogyny for l*sbians who dare to have s*x that doesn’t involve men
The Jason Arday story has been delicious. But the problem goes well beyond race and academia. Would Andrea Long Chu, a vicious, porn-addled misogynist, really have won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism if he hadn’t claimed to be a woman?
Woman-hate is widely regarded as a sign of edgy brilliance, and its totally acceptable so long as the man spouting it has changed his pronouns.
If I were @jk_rowling, I’d have very little patience left for actors becoming rich and famous from the world I created, then publicly virtue-signalling about how dreadful they think my views are.
Rowling created something that has given millions of children enormous joy and turned some pretty mediocre actors into global celebrities.
Yet some still queue up to denounce her while apparently being unable to answer the most basic question at the heart of this debate:
If safeguarding rules aren’t grounded in biological sex, what exactly are they grounded in?
Which serious journalist thinks: “Do you know what this discussion about macroeconomics really needs? The views of a drag queen!”
Imagine Paxman going along with this. No, I can’t either.
Even if only for the optics, the BBC might want to give the drag queens a rest for a while.
If your argument collapses the moment somebody asks you to define a word, answer a hypothetical or explain the unintended consequences of your policy, you don’t have an argument. You have a slogan.
