BOOM!
Statement by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, Reem Alsalem.

It is unequivocal in condemning the silencing, harassment and failure to protect women and girls for raising questions about gender identity.
They've done it again. Our film screening is cancelled. They have occupied the venue. Freedom of assembly for women is dead at Edinburgh University. Anyone who is appalled by this please come down to protest.

Deeply amused by those telling me I’ve lost their admiration due to the disrespect I show violent, duplicitous rapists. I shall file your lost admiration carefully in the box where I keep my missing fucks.
Tiffany Scott - formerly Andrew Burns, one of the most dangerous prisoners in Scotland has gained approval to be moved to the women’s prison estate. Scott has attacked female prison officers and stalked a child from prison. No men should be placed in a women’s prison.
"A member of my own party was convicted of threatening to rape me because of my views... trans rights activists threatened to murder me."
SNP's @joannaccherry says convicted rapist Isla Bryson, a trans woman, is a man and should be sent to a male prison on #TimesRadio.
"Starmer’s response that the party must have “respect & tolerance” in the face of differing opinions on trans debate isn’t good enough.
Why not unequivocally condemn the abuse?..
Labour hiding from meaningful debate..
MPs too scared to express their views"

@treesey Thank you @LordBlunkett Yes, decades of championing & securing women’s sex-based rights trumps this all & still doesn’t mean we can’t treat people with respect & compassion. @UKLabour IS all over the place. #LabourLosingWomen
The part I can’t make sense of is that if @Keir_Starmer truly believed that @RosieDuffield1 was transphobic he would throw her out of the party. I think he knows she isn’t, knows she’s just raising the valid concerns that gave him pause & yet he’s silent in defence of her. Why?
For @kaukabstewart and @kirstenoswald to stand in support of this banner is not only disgraceful but vile. I hope @theSNP and @NicolaSturgeon will address this as a matter of urgency.
When will @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour take action about this unacceptable behaviour by a Labour MP? A man who has previously written an article attacking @jk_rowling & had to apologise. There is a pattern of behaviour towards women here that shames the party.
Why aren't Greens & more decent MPs calling out appalling tirade of verbal abuse directed at Miriam Cates MP last night by @lloyd_rm?
Misogyny at heart of our democratic chamber gets institutionalised when these shocking tantrums get free pass. #SolidaritywithCates#GRRBill#S35
As a @UKLabour member I am appalled at the behaviour in the HoC by @lloyd_rm heaping abuse on Miriam Cates MP. It really is an absolute disgrace that he is permitted to throw such tantrums rather than dealing with the substance of the debate. He is bringing the LP into disrepute.
@pollycurtis @Bernard_Collier @tortoise Were you able to press PC on the ‘evidence’ she claims is there? Where is her evidence? If even she thinks culture is ahead of the science, surely that says there is little to no evidence still? Hope you press in with this topic.
@pollycurtis @Bernard_Collier @tortoise Thank you for the series,which I listened to with interest. You were respectful and balanced.Still lots of unanswered and unasked questions. 15 suicides is shocking.But you were still unable to establish that as an accurate figure let alone over what period.Hope you’ll do more 👏🏻
