This really is an excellent charity, reuniting servicemen and women with their animals from Iraq and Afghanistan and looking after animals brutally mistreated in ways you can’t imagine.

A beautiful sight. Like a rhino escaping captivity

And why do we Brits understand Tourettes and have compassion for it, as a nation? Because of the tireless work John Davidson has been doing since he was only a teen.

I am making “tea” 😅

@CateFox @FFS_WhatNow @jk_rowling The *british* cycling arsehole. Not to be confused with the unparalleled lunatic American cycling arsehole who keeps changing names, telling women to die in a “grease fire” and claiming lesbians are transphobic.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Tedestrela @WendyPuerto @TalkTV It’s basic lack of integrity. He was chanting the trans women are women mantra before because he was told it was a vote winner.

@BlackIslePMD And we’ve not been short of candidates these past few years either.

@GamerHijabi @v_j_freeman Stonewall is going to be a case study in how not to do advocacy in about 5 years- telling your core clients lies about their legal rights, pissing off your most likely allies, relying on thought-terminating mantras and ‘no debate’. Couldnt have made things worse if they tried.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@ScaryHighlander @EmmaRoddickSNP I get where you’re coming from but the solution shouldn’t have been opening single sex soaces to the ones who thought they were women. It should have been social support groups, honesty and specialised care.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@RhonddaBryant @janeclarejones @soniasodha So what part *were* you agreeeing was appalling?

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@lecanardnoir And I think some orgs went along with it because they were frightened and caved, and others because they were “true believers”. The chances of getting the latter group back to single sex are pretty slim.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@lecanardnoir They’ll push organisations like Girl Guides to change their legal set up (or registration or however it works) to become openly mixed sex for the children and the Owls. Theyre less likely to challenge any new organisations that deliberately set themselves up as single sex.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling Why would he be scared of other men? His fear is NOT enough to justify putting him in with women, because women are people too.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling Now try to see it from women’s instead.

No-one is assigned a gender at any time. Their sex is observed and it doesn’t change.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling Suggest you try walking even a few metres in women’s then.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling Because I’m looking at it from the women’s perspective and your only seeing the man’s. Male on male violence isn’t women’s problem to fix, it’s ours. That one man’s horrible experience doesn’t justify terrorising a whole centre of women.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling For the same reason all adults who work with kids go through a dbs check- basic safeguarding. All men are a potential threat to women so none of us should be allowed near something advertised as female only.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling How can anyone “feel” like a man? Men who don’t conform to rigid male stereotypes are still men.

[James Forsyth @James_Forsyth1]

@Monaghan1945 @garylfrancione @jk_rowling No-one deserves sexual assault and it’s a laugh hearing you talk about human rights when you’d inflict men on women who’ve sought out a single sex crisis centre. These men can go to men’s refuges until they do what women had to do- organise to set up their own shelters.
