@PeaseRoland how sad I was to listen to the last episode of this wonderful program. I only discovered it a few years ago, haven’t missed one since. Thank you Roland for making the latest innovations in science so relevant and exciting. What was the #bbc thinking. Helen

“Acting stuff out” is probably my favourite aspect of stand up. It always seems to elevate the jokes somehow.

Is there going to be a go fund me for #safeline the charity for male survivors of abuse?
It seems mean of the gov to stop funding as the saving is minuscule.

🚨 THIS IS SO F*CKED UP 🚨

Olympics FORCING Female Boxers To Step in the Ring WITH BIOLOGICAL MEN ⚠️

Every single sicko responsible for this should be thrown in prison if any of these girls ever die in a match.

Notice the defeated look on her face while facing Khelif Imane, who is one of multiple transgender athletes cheating in the Olympics. She is likely scared to speak out because they will punish her if she does. LET’S BE HER VOICE AND SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!!

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

Biological men allowed to compete in boxing matches against biological women. So men hitting women as a spectator sport. Nothing to see here. #Paris2024

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

Ah, Mike what a heartbreaker. The man who wrote 'Whole of The Moon' is another idiot complicit in a medical scandal.

‘Seeing as you’re too lazy to enter me for Crufts I’ll have to keep striking a pose until an agent spots me.’

'Software engineer Emma Harris earns £50,000 a year and said the cost of renting and bills takes up about two-thirds of her salary. "I am not likely to ever own a house and it’s just depressing," she said.'
The BBC must take us for absolute fools...

The number of trans-identified men used as contributors on apparently random BBC stories has generated interest.

The BBC has its own contacts database but one resource it uses for stories/contributors is a company called NEON.

🧵There are many questions about the case of Cameron Allan, found guilty this week of a horrendous rape and murder, including whether he is the man holding ‘Decapitate Terfs’ placard beside SNP Equalities Minister Kaukab Stewart while under suspicion of murder

Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed this troubling cautionary tale about the dangers of illegal transphobia, please share!

Can someone at #Bbcnews please stop using the strap line on screen at the PO inquiry. It’s distracting and unnecessary.

My daughter is a student nurse working in Glasgow on placement and she is just an extra pair of hands. Not able to learn anything on the job.#PoliticsLive

9. I finished the conversation with
"Do you actually believe that a man can fully become a woman"

and I got the answer YES. So here is the problem. This is like trying to debate that the earth is round with someone who insists it is flat. They are so wedded to a concept that IS false that the debate cannot progress until they let go of that false beleif.

Then make it clear that sex in The Equality Act means biological sex so we have a way of protecting those spaces like sport ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ https://t.co/VJJQfnmpA4

@jk_rowling Rosie is the shining star in the bleak dark landscape of @UKLabour

I'm so proud to count this woman as a friend.

Unless you’ve followed or paid close attention to what @jk_rowling has been saying, extremely courteously & politely for 10 long years now, & witnessed the decade-long, non-stop onslaught of the worst possible abuse, threats, lies & slander…

UNLESS you’re 100% aware of how civilly & calmly she has conducted herself in the face of such vitriol, hatred & aggression & actively involving family members…

UNLESS you’ve watched, time & time again, men telling her to “sit down & shut up”, “control yourself, woman” or “I don’t think that’s very nice. Why can’t you just be kind & accept what we are telling you?”,
I’m really NOT convinced that it’s your f***ing place to pop up NOW & instruct her to exercise ‘basic common decency’…

SHE’S BEEN DOING THAT FOR 10 YEARS.

So, I’m sure all you bleating, barking men, out there, who’ve suddenly decided she’s “crossed a line”, you, embarrassingly, HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, have you?

She’s done the whole “being kind” schtick. (For many more years than most of us would, to be honest).

Where has that got her?

TRA’s don’t CARE about that. They are going to hate her regardless. They want the hate. They crave it. Nevertheless, she continued to debate with grace & courtesy, whilst others raged at her from basements etc, worldwide.

But, to you, watching from the sidelines, now popping up like f***ing whack-a-moles, you might have failed to notice that she is out of fucks to give & has said so. Clearly.

And believe it or not, she has the unwavering gratitude & support of a HUGE (& ever-growing) number of women, girls, gay people, transsexuals, detransitioners, parents & children.

Why?

Because she took the fall for those who felt they had no voices nor a chance to say “No”.

Well, they do now. And if that bugs the heck out of you, you’ll have to find a better coping strategy. Because our voices, loudly & given strength because of her, will NEVER deny the truth & always speak up for those who are TRULY vulnerable & marginalised.

And shame on all the Q+ organisations for turning your backs on her, after all the help & financial support she gave to those with HIV. Shame on you.

Thank you again @jk_rowling for standing tall & for NOT “staying in your goddamn’d place!” ❤️

Happy #LesbianVisibilityDay. Here’s my full speech from yesterday’s parliamentary debate with subtitles .

Signed. This is long overdue.
