@UnityNewsNet I really hope you never have to care for someone with cancer. I spent 6 months needing care and support and only had my husband. Three years after diagnosis, he's the one taking me to and from the hospital.

Today, the #TicklevGiggle courtroom was full of @salltweets’ supporters, all of us there in solidarity, as she underwent cross-examination on why she had refused to allow a man (Roxy Tickle) to use her female-only networking app, Giggle.

For more than two hours, Tickle’s lawyer tried her best to portray Sall as someone who is discriminatory and unkind, but every response Sall gave, only served to reaffirm just how reasonable, genuine, and right she is.

During cross, his lawyer tried to get Sall to – among other things – agree that Tickle is a woman.

Lawyer: You have previously said that you would be kind to Ms Tickle if you met her in real life?

Sall: Yes.

Lawyer: Would you call her Ms Tickle?

Sall. No, I would not.

Lawyer: But that’s not kind, is it?

Sall: I don’t think it’s kind to expect a woman to see a man as a woman.

Lawyer: Ms Tickle is a woman, isn’t she?

Sall: Tickle is a biological male.

Lawyer: Even where a person who was assigned male at birth transitions to a woman by having surgery, hormones, gets rid of facial hair, undergoes facial reconstruction, grows their hair long, wears make up, wears female clothes, describes themselves as a woman, introduces themselves as a woman, uses female changing rooms, changes their birth certificate – you don’t accept that is a woman do you?

Sall: No.

Lawyer: I suggest to you that in Australian society, the normal meaning of a woman is someone who has changed their birth certificate to say woman, what would you say to that?

Sall: I don’t agree.

The lawyer, who by then appeared quite agitated, was forced to move on to a new line of questioning, perhaps realising that trying to get Sall to say men can be women, is like trying to get any reasonable person to say that 2 + 2 = 5.

No words can do justice to just how phenomenal Sall was in that witness box. Calm, articulate and sincere, she did every woman and girl, and every single person who has supported her in this nightmare so far, unbelievably proud. I’m just sorry more people couldn’t have seen it.

Men can never be women. And we will not stop fighting until our laws reflect this reality, and women and their sex-based rights and protections – including female-only spaces, services and sports – are restored.

In the late 70's/80's I had an amazing drama teacher, Netta Denville. She formed Jigsaw Youth Theatre & took a bunch of broken kids to the Fringe. Performing was life changing for us. So sad that it's now too elitist for kids like I was. I went from anxious & broken to alive.

@LiamRudden @MaryleboneTHLDN @arabellanr I've been trying to track down an old drama student friend Paul Holness and saw him on one of your blogs as the late Paul Holness at the Fringe. I spent 4 years at the Fringe with him. Gutted.

@GovEvers Shame on you 😕

[Liz Gwilliam Jones @gwilliam_jones]

@jk_rowling Thank you for raising your voice, the voice of reason and honesty x

[Liz Gwilliam Jones @gwilliam_jones]

@ShazzBakes Thank you for sharing this. I lost some beautiful friends, they should be remembered, the inhumanity they suffered should be remembered. I will never forgive or forget.

@BeyondPOfficial Brilliant 👏

Harry repeatedly goes on about how Diana was hounded. This is exactly the same, but this time, he's literally in cahoots with @cbouzy and doing nothing to call it out. He's not happy unless he can play the victim card but he clearly condones what Catherine is having to deal with

[Christopher Bouzy (spoutible.com/cbouzy) @cbouzy]

The palace lied, the British press helped them lie, and then when they got caught lying, they started blaming Americans and trolls for their lies. Now, if you question the palace and the press, they claim you are bullying Kate.

[Liz Gwilliam Jones @gwilliam_jones]

@cbouzy You really have no morals at all. I really hope Karma gives you back what you have dished out.

[Liz Gwilliam Jones @gwilliam_jones]

@scobie You really are the lowest of the low. I hope Karma comes back to bite you.

@SocialistNHS You're talking about the people who pay tax and NI that essentially pay your wages. If you're prepared to talk about people who may be a patient of yours like this, how can you be trusted to care for them based on your opinions?

[Liz Gwilliam Jones @gwilliam_jones]

@ima_taxpayer @IreneSu00844470 @drstephencarver @DontVoteLabour How did an illegal war, financial crash, unemployment, and negative equity make life considerably better? I voted at @UKLabour, but now they don't know what a woman is, so there's no reason to think 52% of the electorate can trust them.

@jk_rowling @wizardingnews Never seen this account, but I am blocked, which I take as a compliment.

@MidwivesRCM why when an increasing number of mothers and babies are dying or harmed during birth due to a lack of proper care are you focusing on this. Your priorities should be on the care and support of women & their birthing process, not politically correct box ticking.
