I can't believe that we have to stand on the street outside the Australian High Commission to tell the Australian government that men are not women, but that's exactly what we'll be doing this Friday in Ottawa to show our support for the fabulous @salltweets.
Join us if you can!
A Virginia judge has thrown out a "loitering" case against a transgender sex offender accused of exposing his penis to women and girls in schools and recreation centers across the state.
Richard Cox was found with child pornography when he was arrested.

MEDICAL SCANDAL:
In a groundbreaking lawsuit, detransitioner Cristina Hineman is taking on Planned Parenthood for its role in handing out "opposite-sex hormone prescriptions like candy." Watch her story:
Watch the CEO of @Ahpra Justin Untersteiner cast aspersions that there is 'more to the story than has been reported' of why Dr Andrew Amos has had his medical registration restricted for three social media posts about gender. This is outrageous. Then he hides behind, "I can't discuss individual cases". He owes Dr Amos a public apology.
Thank you to @SenSHenderson for questioning Ahpra about our cases.

Too close for comfort
Australia's health professions regulator AHPRA and the Ombudsman watchdog supposed to supervise it both show the unhealthy influence of the trans lobby

I will support every politician working towards fixing Australia’s sex discrimination act to ensure that sex-based rights are clear & protected.
Alison Penfold’s bill is the first bill put to parliament in 2026. Soon, Pauline Hanson will submit hers (she already tried in 2024). To be honest, I support both of them. I’m not a politician, so I can. I’m just a woman who wants this issue fixed. Frankly, I don’t care if a unicorn does it, so long as it is fixed. Not just for me, but for all women in Australia & for every girl who is waiting for the adults to do something.
But the problem is not the bills. The issue is the Albanese government is dismissing women’s rights as a culture war. It is important to note, this dismissal is only said to women who want sex based rights. It’s never said to the men who claim to be us. Which means, even if it was just a culture war, the government has chosen a side. Whoops.
In the mean time, stay tuned for a Giggle v Tickle High Court update 🩷
“Cody is right that we must urgently address male violence against women. But it is extraordinary to invoke male violence, while simultaneously ignoring such violence when it is perpetrated by men who identify as women, and refusing to recognise why women object to males accessing female-only spaces in the first place.”

Otago has responded to us in the Herald.
The university says the Vice-Chancellor's email "clearly states the view is a personal one" and was separate from the institution.
A label isn't a firewall. Grant Robertson didn't post on a personal account. He sent it from the Vice-Chancellor's chair, signed with his title, to a community list he can reach only because he holds the office.
Writing "at a personal level" doesn't change who is speaking, their role, the capacity they are speaking in, or how it lands for the people who open it.
'Institutional neutrality' isn't "state your personal opinion, then add a disclaimer."
It's not putting the VC hat on in official communications to take a side on a Bill before Parliament at all.
The office stays quiet so its members are free to disagree - including with the Vice-Chancellor.

The BMA was captured by TRAs in 2020 (link) and ever since they're beclowining the medical profession by promoting misogynistic and pseudoscientific gender ideology. The latest - ill-advised, when the trust in the medical profession is at an all-time low.

@BernieSanders@donoharm@wpath@ChloeCole First questions to Chloe- can children make a decision like this- she says it’s an adult decision. And references that she didn’t know what was at stake. She mentions her own fertility again (contrast- Shannon mentioned she’s a parent and grandparent).
He is now reading off the #s of kids who have had surgeries.
He is now claiming that the AMA and APA supports these interventions.
Says the usual line: Gender affirming care for youth should be between their doctor and their family.
I am ashamed of @BernieSanders
The senate hearing has begun and @BernieSanders his tried the argument that the number of kids harmed by gender ideology is tiny, “a powerless minority” https://t.co/EWIKG4bf7g
Rivera is now pursuing legal action with the Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center, which has filed complaints and is seeking an investigation into the district's handling of the situation. Read the full story: https://t.co/xqbJONQ4Nc
A 9-year-old girl says a boy entered the girls' bathroom at her Massachusetts elementary school, looked through her stall, & then pushed open the door while she was partially undressed.
Her parents are now fighting for her privacy.

We are pleased to see this statement from @SlandMinster
It seems Canon Clare MacLaren overstepped & put Sunderland Minster in a legally untenable position.
Hopefully she will take some time to educate herself to ensure she doesn't become a liability again.
We hope that by stating they will "respect the rule of law" that they now provide women's lavatories free of men.
I asked in the HoL today… if a female rugby team comes up against a team they suspect are fielding a male why isn’t it ok to ask? It can be done politely. A males feelings I’m afraid come way behind a women’s serious risk to a broken neck! The same with a mother dressing her 8yr old little girl in an open womens changing She should have every right to ask a male to leave.
"The essential thesis that attempts to justify a child transitioning is: 'Transition your daughter or bury her.' That's the lie my parents were told."
Powerful testimony from @ChloeCole before @GOPHELP telling her story to protect children from irreversible gender procedures.
@sharrond62@UKHouseofLords “Is he going to wait until there is another judicial review to get transparency on this matter?”
And @KishwerFalkner for asking about the government’s role in making changes to the code.
We have called for the legally flawed section on special-category data to be removed.
