#Twitter, for me, acts as a sort of human fish tank. It contains some of the most racist, bigoted, immature, and hateful fish I have come across. I don't feed them often, I just find them interesting to watch. Abhorrent at times, but interesting all the same. #myfishtankofhate
@daraobriain Just seen you in Norwich ('Royal Theatre') was sat in front row. I had rib surgery just 3wks ago & had to hold my ribs all show. When drugs wear off, I'm really gonna feel that laughter! Had high expectations, but you exceeded by miles, incredible show! Thanks!
Following the UK Supreme Court's ruling on April 15th that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex, the FA says only those born biologically female will be permitted to play in women’s football.
So here’s a clip of me reading an extract from @jk_rowling new book - “Harry Potter & The Sellotaped Willy”
For 1,318 days, Afghan girls have been locked out of their classrooms. For 858 days, Afghan women have been banned from universities. An entire generation is being erased from education under Taliban rule. This injustice must end.

@m_v811@BBCSport@BarbraBanda11 Because of male biological advantages we have protected categories for women in sport. Do you believe these are unnecessary?
@m_v811@BBCSport@BarbraBanda11 Maybe the difference here is our ages. I was never taught to conform to stereotypes and I don't believe dressing or acting a certain way affects your biological make up. Eg. If my big brother decides to identify as a woman tomorrow, he should not be able to eg. fight women.
@m_v811@BBCSport@BarbraBanda11 Gender is how you present yourself, the stereotype you play out in the world. Sex is the body you use to play sport. If there is no advantage gained after eg. male puberty why are there far fewer women identifying as men in contact sports? Because physical disadvantage..
@m_v811@BBCSport@BarbraBanda11 Also, sorry, but I don't consider myself part of a 'group' that includes intersex and those that refer to themselves as 'queers'. I am simply same sex attracted. We don't need to agree on this, I have friends who don't, I have friends who do, and that's fine.
@m_v811@BBCSport@BarbraBanda11 This is not a knee jerk reaction/opinion, and it's been formed using information from educated and qualified people. I would share sources but I feel you have a solid opinion already. I have taken part in sport my whole life and am therefore protective of women's sports.
@David_Challen They should be very proud to have her name, Giséle Pelicot is an incredible woman ��️ I wish none of us ever had to hear her name but I will never forget it or her.
