I spoke to an incarcerated woman today who told me how a fully intact trans-identified male was put into her cell and proceeded to grope her repeatedly while she was sleeping. She woke up and found him doing this, reported it, and the prison staff did nothing about it./1

Whatever is going on in the world, Thomas Sowell always got there first and summed it up perfectly.

There is no biological basis for gender identity.

Brain studies haven’t found one.
Genetic studies haven’t found one.

Change my mind.

🚨A male student won the Girls Shot Put Class A state title at the New York Outdoor Track & Field Championships today.

Jeff "Julia" Arnold is currently ranked the #1 "female" athlete in Girls Shot Put 4kg in the state of New York.

‘Darren Rigby, who sent hoax death threats to schools is jailed’

All girls’ schools were specifically targeted. Rigby ‘threatened to carry out deadly attacks supposedly in response to the treatment of ‘transwomen’’. None of this features in the coverage across outlets, despite the evidence emerging in email evidence and in court, neither does it feature in the Merseyside Police report.

‘I’m going to kill every girl and woman staff member I come across’

‘I'm going to shoot and stab all your girls’

It’s a crime of extreme misogyny in the cause of ‘fighting trans oppression’ but any mention of ‘trans’ has been erased by the police, PA and all news outlets. In addition the BBC report hides the fact that it was a crime against women and girls.

This sounds very promising.

Hello all. A quick update from me.

My sex screen assay is progressing well.

I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability.

I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising.

I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum.

I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science…

The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling.

If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.

@GyllKing Most of the gender critical people I know are either moderate it left-leaning. Some belong to an organization called DIAG, which stands for Democrats for an informed approach to gender.

More than 100 academics have urged the University of Oxford to reinstate a lecture series that was cancelled after protests from trans activists.

In the letter, published in The Times on Thursday, they wrote: “It appears that the university proctors authorised and facilitated protests inside the lecture theatre and did nothing to remove miscreants."

Hi, it's me again. The lesbian who is annoyed at Pride shit.

I'm back with another example of stupid corporatised activist Pride slop. This time the culprit is Ladybird Books.

Ladybird posted a Pride illustration showing a lesbian couple welcoming a baby into their home with the message: "Everyone should feel free to be themselves, no matter who they are or who they love."

How lovely. Problem is one of the women is wearing a hijab and predictably, the Muslim community aren't pleased.

Now, before the usual suspects start hyperventilating, let me be clear. The angry Muslim response doesn't surprise me and it shouldn't surprise you either. It is not news that Islam reckons homosexuality should be condemned at best and dealt with by creative forms of capital punishment at worst.

What fascinates me is the complete and utter detachment from reality displayed by the people who created this image.

Why did they have to put her in a hijab? Have these people ever met an openly lesbian woman wearing a hijab?

I have met plenty of lesbians. I've met lesbians from conservative religious backgrounds. I've met lesbians who have been disowned by their families. Lesbians who have hidden relationships out of fear and lesbians who moved to live in liberal countries were they could be openly gay safely.

What I haven't encountered is a large population of women who are simultaneously living under oppressive religious rules around female modesty while openly raising children with another woman.

I mean, duh. If a woman is in an environment where she is expected to cover herself from head to toe lest men be tempted by her presence, there is a very good chance that openly living as a lesbian is not going to be allowed either.

But the people who designed this image don't care whether it reflects reality. They care whether it reflects an activist fantasy in which every identity category can be stacked without any tension or contradiction. It's like goddamn woke bingo.

Many of the activists pushing this nonsense are among the most privileged people imaginable. They grew up in liberal Western democracies. Have never faced serious consequences for being gay or had to hide who they are. They have never worried that their family might disown them. And never feared arrest, violence, social exclusion, or being throw off a building or hanged.

They are so dumb and naive that they create cartoons that are 100% going to cause grief for gays and lesbians. This cartoon was only ever going to turn negative attention on us from the community most enthusiastic about killing us worldwide.

Young woke morons need to remember that older gay people remember what actual homophobia looked like. Gay people outside of wealthy Western cities still experience it today. Many gays from Muslim-majority countries can tell you exactly why they would rather avoid the conflict between religious orthodoxy and homosexuality.

But those voices are inconvenient because they get in the way of the progressive fantasy that all minority groups naturally fit together in one big rainbow coalition.

Sorry, babes. We don't. The rainbow is a cute idea, but
sometimes values clash. And pretending otherwise doesn't make those tensions disappear.

@datadriven_tdoc Why "dark money"? I am a small donor to Genspect because I believe in its mission. They actually care about the well-being of gender non-conforming children and young people. By the way, that "life-saving care" myth has been shown to be false. See: https://t.co/fXe4czVAXP

@AshHallN @LeorSapir I'm sorry to read that heartbreaking news about your nephew. I would not be surprised if he or his parents were told that he needed HRT in order to not commit suicide, but it may have actually ended up leading him to make that tragic decision.

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.

There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.

After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.

During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.

Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

Are there any NYC-based criminal justice lawyers out there who would be willing to help a woman incarcerated for petty theft who is being sexually abused by a trans-identifying man in a NYC jail?

She needs a lawyer who will volunteer his/her time to move her case forward. She can't speak up about the abuse until she is out of jail, for fear of retribution.

In the UK, 11 trans people have been murdered since 2000.

In the same country, from 2009 - 2021, 16 women were murdered by serving or retired police officers. Not killed by officers in the line of duty — flat out murdered.

In 2022 alone, 11 British women were killed by male strangers. 12 were murdered by their own sons; 150 British women have been murdered by their own sons since 2012.

On average, a woman is murdered by a man in the UK once every 72 hours.

Where is the Day of Remembrance for the women murdered by their own sons? By their husbands, their fathers, their brothers? By serving police officers?

In the last 25 years, there have been nearly twice as many trans-identifying murderers than there have been murder victims - 20 murderers, versus 11 victims — and yet we’re told to believe that this is a genocide, while our own dead go ignored and unnamed.

These people are, per capita, the safest demographic in the UK, with a homicide rate of 0.38 per 100k (for women, it’s 0.50 per 100k, and for normal men, it’s 1.23.) but we’re supposed to believe that they’re being physically exterminated? Or is genocide another one of those words that has deliberately been stripped of its meaning, like “woman” and “female”?

Who gains when people are conditioned to roll their eyes at the word “genocide”? When “woman” has no meaning in law or policy? What is the end game here?

[♀️Jennifer Gingrich ✡️ @fem_mb]

Tough day. First I spoke to a female inmate who's being pressured by officials to change her story and say she wasn't abused by a trans-identifying male inmate.

Then another inmate called and told me that the same abuse is happening in Maine's JUVENILE prison. She was in juvenile hall from age 11 and it turns out that they're housing teenage boys who identify as girls with the girls.

One 17 yr old boy was so sexually abusive to the girls that parents had to threaten to sue to finally get him transferred to the boys' unit after two years.

Due to confidentiality for minor inmates, it's a lot harder for us to find out who is in the juvenile prison or get contact with them. Frankly, it hadn't even occurred to me that this would be a problem there, too, but of course it is.

And none of the organizations that should be helping will even acknowledge the problem, because most of them testified in favor of the law to put male inmates in female prisons in 2021. That includes the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the Maine Women's Lobby.

This is deeply troubling.

I hope New York will step away from this move!

I wrote about the push to eliminate the word “mother” and mother-related terminology in law and policies; how it is linked to the devaluation of motherhood and women overall.

I will be presenting this report on “violence against mothers” to the UN Human Rights Council in a few weeks.

They killed my 2 year old great aunt at Auschwitz, along with every single person in her entire extended family - 79 people - except for her mother and my grandfather, the latter of whom the family had been able to hide in 1939 after one of his school friends died unexpectedly.

My great grandmother weighed 72 pounds when she was liberated, and she carried the scars of the medical torture she endured for the rest of her life. She was also left sterile, and deeply traumatized.

When she tried to go back to the house her family had owned for a hundred years, a neighbor family had moved in, and threatened her life if she didn’t leave town and never come back. When she tried to collect her parents’ life insurance, with the numbers her father had made everyone memorize, the insurance company said that without proof of death, they wouldn’t pay.

The only thing on that list that’s happening to trans people is the sterilization —- but y’all are doing that to yourselves. It is unbelievably offensive to victims of actual genocide for you to pretend that men being told to use men’s spaces is even in the same ballpark.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

I’m sick to death of Lib Dem’s in particular saying trans identifying men are no risk to women. Official MOJ statistics show over 60% of trans identifying men in prison are there for sex offences against women or children. In mens prisons is 18%. Yet we understand why we keep men out of private spaces for women. Safeguarding. That’s over 3x times a higher risk. Stats are stats. Even if you don’t like them. Check out this figure yourself. Next time someone spout this nonsense I will endeavour to give the actual official stats. It’s time we work with truths & not fluffy fantasy.
