@JustinOnWeb I am a single mum. If my sons help to hold the line for women to be able to meet, teach, campaign, and be themselves in the way that you do, then I will be very proud indeed. Thank you @JustinOnWeb. We see you and hear you.

@ThomasWillett9 You had me at "engaging intellectually in good faith"😂 Not sure anyone in the glass-house of TRA ideology should use the phrase 'un-evidenced claims'. You're the side saying a man in a dress is magically a woman. Because of...the dress? Priceless. Keep going! #letthemspeak

@simonjedge One of the lucky few!

@stephenwhittle @AlessandraAster Wow. How are we meant to distinguish the 'men pretending to be women' from the *other* 'men pretending to be women'? Loving the fact that trans women are women....until they're criminals. Lols.

@oliverburkeman @lizrenzetti I'm really shcoked! I'm number 1 - even more so in my dreams. But my waking means of processing the world are almost entirely visual and yes - if I close my eyes, what I 'see' in my mind is the same as when they are open! I can't believe that this is not the case for everyone!

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@AyoCaesar 'How am I meant to identify a responsible dog owner on sight'. Quite. It's almost like...oh nevermind.

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@Docstockk @MartinConcagh Seriously thought @MartinConcagh was a spoof account! Hilarious! Martin, you are such good value. Yours might be the worst (mis)take on this whole debate I think I've heard to date. And I used to follow Owen Jones! (for lolz obvs)...

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

Yes, @Fairfields. Why not make the men's unisex? I'm sure they won't mind men in skirts going in to wee. But women will. Cos the skirt maketh *not* the woman. But the penis sure as hell maketh the man. This really isn't progressive.

@sheela_na @JohnWhitgiftFdn @FairfieldHalls @FairfieldHalls a reply would be great, why the Ladies?

@helenstaniland Helen, I think 'rotten Karen nose' is the phrase that is going to get me through a rather stressful day today. I cannot stop smiling. The accidental humour of these goons is a life source. Got to dash. Need to cast my rotten Karen eyes over a few journal articles. x

There was a court case address the exact question of whether sufficient medical intervention in the form of surgery or hormones means that someone has changed biological sex: Corbett v Corbett (1970). The court held that this does not change sex.

@HumzaYousaf @patrickharvie So relieved to hear you say that! You'll *die* when you hear about the 'disgraceful, disgusting and completely unacceptable' treatment of @joannaccherry! 'At' me into your tweet expressing concern for her and showing your solidarity , and I'll share it with my followers.

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@FeministRoar @robinince Maaaaaaate, surely?

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@robinince @_clishmaclaver_ @Jsoosty @suzanne_moore Erm, Robin? You think men can be women 'cos they say so'. How is *that* any less bonkers thank thinking God created the world in seven days? Both are variously insane denials of basic science. Do better x

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@robinince You had me at "cis female feminists". Can you hear yourself?! A female feminist pal xx

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@Chopperholic1 @Garethwjacob18 @GoodwinMJ "Only in the twittersphere". Sigh. Many of us have lost work or had to leave jobs because of this stuff. Not sure where your 'little corner' is, but it seems well-insulated from the rest of the world!

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@MaggieChapman "All those who support equality must stand up for what is right". Totally agree. Glad you've come round to your senses finally. You are welcome to the GC sisterhood. Sorry it took you so long to get here. x

[BKLong @BeeKayLong]

@AnneICoombes @Alex_FeisBryce It's not that we don't like you. You seem like a nice guy. But you're a man getting indignant at not being able to access women's spaces. Stop doing it, then you can stop getting upset? I'm sure the other men r open-minded enough to accept a man in a skirt. It's 2023 after all.

So "No Debate" meant "Can't debate". Who knew? A huge number of us actually.

Stonewall spent a decade lobbying universities, political parties, state bodies etc., to condemn as transphobic those who recognise the conflict between women’s rights & men’s demands, yet here is its chair saying exactly that.

Women who said the same lost their livelihoods.

@BenPBradshaw @soniasodha @DAaronovitch "Most radical left wing feminists are trans-inclusive" is simply not true. It only works as an argument if you don't listen to "most radical left wing feminists". We include trans-identifying females in our concept of womanhood of course, if that's what you mean by inclusive?
