I don't want to be referred to as "a cervix haver".
I am a woman.
I am a mother.
I am an adult human female.
Only women can be women and our language is important.
Women and girls have to stay visible in the language used in public life.
This shouldn't even be a debate, but sadly, it now is.
This parliamentary petition has been created to call upon government departments, the NHS, education and other publicly funded bodies to treat the words women, girls, mothers and pregnant women as the default in policy, guidance and public messaging.
Not as merely a footnote in our own sex category.
Plain, sex-specific language is not a nicety. It matters in healthcare, safeguarding, schools, data and public policy.
Women do not deserve to be erased, we are 51% of the population and not just an afterthought.
Please sign and share the below petition ๐
10,000 signatures earns a response from government.
100,000 earns a debate in Parliament.
Thank you ๐

Happy #Caturday everyone!
Bob has appointed himself head of doomsday prep. So far his contributions are: eating his third bowl of kibble and then staring at me like this until the milk appears. He's already threatened to file for emancipation if I don't open the fridge on time.
Oh, the drama! ๐น
This. This is what really pisses me off.
A 63 yr old man lumbering around in womanface is in a women's changing room. He's asking on another platform whether he should "transition," and of course the comments are already flooding in with enthusiastic yesses.
No consideration for the women already there. No thought given to why women have single-sex spaces in the first place.
This man isn't part of some tiny, oppressed minority. He's a grown man doing exactly what he wants, when he wants. Just another fucking pervert getting free rein.
This is "trans" at its finest.
Brandi Kruse literally got thrown from the building for wearing a shirt that delineates between the sexes and standing up for women.
Meanwhile some crazed broad wearing one of those โprotect trans kidsโ knife shirts stood there holding up her middle finger while nobody said a word to her.
How is this even America?
I hated Starmer, but at least he treated the office of PM with some dignity.
This fucking melt is like the supply teacher who thinks he can get a hostile class onside by being down-wit-da-yoof.
Epic level cringe.
@DjangoBartolli@picklescat72@joshuasdad22 No, it isn't. I can send you the data that demonstrates this, if you're actually interested in listening to women rather than arguing a long disproven point.
It's not just toilets. It's hospital wards, changing rooms and other single-sex spaces. In the last year alone there have been thousands of rapes in hospitals and hundreds in changing rooms linked to mixed-sex access, because men are the main danger to women, and this proves it. The answer is no: they should use the men's facilities, the same as the law has always required. Disabled people have rights too and they shouldn't be forced to step aside for perverts.
If Andy Burnham could do one thing for this country, it would be banning TikTok recipes that look straightforward, take fucking hours to make and are contractually obligated to end with a cheese pull so dramatic it needs its own social media account.
#BanCheesePullsNow
@katmeaker88@joshuasdad22 Yes. But I wasn't going to get into all that here..if they'd spent as much time advocating for these spaces as they have on decimating women's rights, then they'd have them by now and more.
