Sex-realist ex-lawyer. Gender identity is bollocks. There are 2 sexes, and infinite personalities. Stop compelling other people’s speech. Mother. Pro-LGB.

@guardian @sarah_owl3 So is @guardian now going to apologise to Roisin Murphy for vilifying her over her perfectly sensible comments about puberty blockers posted on a private Facebook page ?

[Sarah Phillimore @SVPhillimore]

I went to Chippenham Pride today. It was almost exclusively about gender identities and a speaker claimed that the EHRC guidance seeks to actively remove trans people from society and will cost them their lives. So I have written to the Mayor.

@BBCNews @JournalistJill Good to see the BBC reporting on this. Now look at your own programming which promoted the lie that children could be ‘born in the wrong body’.

Any journalists @guardian ?

Recently elected male MSP argues that he and any other men who fancy denying women safety, privacy and dignity should break the law.

[Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS]

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."

“New rules” @EmilyThornberry?

It’s statutory guidance. Surely you know the status of statutory guidance? Surely you understand it’s not law? And that if it’s blocked the law will simply remain the law? Incredible if not.

Our entire point is that bad men don’t stop being bad men the moment they put on a dress & call themselves a woman, and “Ms Starshine” here (seriously) is proving us right.

“Throwing women under the camper van” exquisite

[Jane Waring @CreeAnt]

A Labour voter all my life (71 now) but I have never felt as ashamed of @UKLabour as I do now, watching MPs queue up to explain why they’re abandoning women, proving that they’re happy for my granddaughters to have fewer rights in future than I have had. Wretched cowards all.

[Rebecca Paul MP @Rebecca_SPaul]

Housing male prisoners in women’s prisons is a clear breach of the Equality Act 2010.

Yesterday I asked the EHRC what they are going to do about it given they have responsibility for enforcing the Equality Act.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

MP Emily Thornberry joins 120 colleagues in support of men like this to have unfettered access to female-only spaces with your daughters, nieces, mothers, female friends.
And she turns off replies because she’s doesn’t want to hear dissent.

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

Now that Michael Foran’s lectures are to be rescheduled, we can make up the balance. What did the activists achieve?

— They have ensured that far more people will attend the final lectures and watch those available on video than before their antics;

— They have cemented the impression that “trans rights activists” are intolerant and unwilling to engage in debates;

— Their behaviour will now lead to a well-overdue reassessment of Oxford’s policy on protests.

Well done, chaps!

When I talk about fear culture at our universities, this is what I mean. A few young minds that have closed themselves off to anything they disagree with are ruining it for the majority of us students who know that such exposure is the most important of all.

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

I will honestly never understand why so many people seem desperate for men to be able to undress etc in front of women and little girls…. In a female single-sex space.

It blows my mind & alarms me in equal measure.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

‘Hardly any complaints’ say trans activists, about men in women’s spaces.
This is just one example of what happens when a woman is brave enough to say no…

@labourlewis Allowing men to beat women is not "inclusive".

Anyone can participate in Parkrun but it is not fair for men to be awarded the "first female".

[Bythepowerofpronouns @Ifoughtthelawn]

@ripx4nutmeg @Jonathan_Hinder is a rare MP, understanding that Labour are the party for people who work. These are people who have no time for CONSTANT ideological claptrap. Labour need to get on with real business - that means growth. Not slogans and branding, growth.

[ripx4nutmeg @ripx4nutmeg]

Labour MP Jonathan Hinder says his party could "die" if his parliamentary colleagues continue to ignore important issues facing voters and instead keep making statements supporting cross-dressing men

[Sonya Douglas @SonyaDouglas]

Boom! Truth bomb just exploded on @BBCNewsnight 💥

‘Dozens of @UKLabour MPs stood up today to say how they don’t agree with UK law stopping men going into the women’s toilets … and if they carry on, the Labour Party is finished’

[paraphrased]

@Jonathan_Hinder I think 👏👏👏
