1) Dear @Primark I was teaching my 11yrold Granddaughter to become independent at shopping by herself today, but was horrified as she walked into the UNISEX changing rooms and a man came out. How are you going to keep her safe from any possible sex offenders who could easily peep

@WillietheFly @MujerGuerrera78 @DJBMCMXCIII They've never *had* to - it's not necessary - but nevertheless they sometimes do.

“Rugby is for all shapes and sizes, so we must let males play in the female category.”

I had a brief look at the IRFU squads, specifically their heights and weights. By position.

Attorney General @SuellaBraverman has made a ground-breaking speech on schools policy & the legal responsibilities relating to transgender issues.
She talked of the conflict of rights to single-sex spaces & the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. 1/12

Three facts:

1. There are only two sexes.

2. Nobody can change sex.

3. I am not a bot.

If you agree with these facts and you are also not a bot - please retweet. Let's see how many of us are #notabot

@janeclarejones Poor lad, It would have so much simpler to just tell his counsellor that he was always picked last for football. #YourProblems #IStandWithKathleenStock

I don't spend much time dwelling on hashtags (out of touch, apparently), but I gather #IStandWithLesbians has been upsetting a lot of people. If that's you, you're wrong.

@SussexUni ‘We enabled an eminent female academic to be Hounded out of her job by extremist bullies’: fixed your headline for you. You should be ashamed for not standing up for freedom of thought/debate. #misogyny

[Christopher Browning @despairingchris]

This is a travesty. UK Universities are on a tipping point: one side is academic freedom, diversity, and all that enables an open society; the other cowardice, totalitarianism, and the atrophy of HE. All respect to @Docstockk #IStandWithKathleenStock #AcademicFreedom

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

Do you agree it’s totally fine to point out that it’s women who have a cervix?

Do you agree it’s totally fine to point out that many gay people hate being called “queer”?

Do you agree we need open discussions on sex & gender?
Then please add your voice:

1/ Thread: One of the more pervasive and sinister strands in gender identity type videos and discourse these days is to tut tut at any concern for the genitals of a sexual partner as “creepy”. Young people are being told in terms sexual attraction based theron is shameful.

The restraint and clarity of this woman is a wonder to behold it really is

Some thoughts on the notion of 'non-binary':

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

1/ Thread. @stephenfry - Let us be clear about what is actually happening here. Stonewall want to make it unlawful to suggest to a child presenting to a gender clinic normally in great distress that they might not be trans. This is known as the "affirmation only" approach.

Ignorance, arrogance, and the wielding of credentials to shut down discourse: a triple threat.

When these three characteristics show up in one place, I feel a responsibility to at least slow the spread of misinformation. Here we go. [thread 1/26]
