@JocastaMoney @lascapigliata88 Far right groups are followed by dodgy, misogynist, homophobic, racist blokes who love a bit of recreational violence. And unless we make it very clear they're not welcome and DO SOMETHNG about it instead of all this deflection, they are a risk to us personally and politically.

@BarryRoland19 I'm going to guess you're American?

Your culture is based around cars.

Elsewhere, it's normal to walk at least part of your journey to work / school, local shops (we have LOCAL shops!) to the pub etc. Although we use cars plenty, we're not nearly so tied to them.

@ImWatson91 @_sorrengailll All of the above, plus I'm always running late (ADHD time blindness!) and creating another task I need to do before I can leave the house doesn't feel like a wise move.

@amelissa555 Lots of offices close between Christmas and New year in the UK too. In my office we finish on the 24th and we're not due back till 2nd Jan.

Most staff book leave either side - this year many finished on Fri 19th and don't return till Mon 5th Jan.

@sibletos @wlaotearoa @JeanHatchet @janeclarejones The women's disco is a no-camera space for the safety of the women there. Jean know this.

She came looking for trouble. That's what her whole online presence has become, creating shit, filming it and then presenting herself as the victim.

It's a farce.

After nearly a year of action, I now have a response from police.

Around 2 years ago WYP applied for an SPO against me based on highly false allegations, WYP have explained to me they can do this based on hearsay evidence.

We highly contested this, however while it was being

@sheawilliamsy @LorraineBrooks1 @SexMattersOrg @DerryBanShee @TalkTV That's not a fair vote. Transwomen have been using the ponds for a few years now. Many women who aren't happy with this will have already self-excluded and so wouldn't have been part of the vote.

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace.

'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't bother consulting the 1992 regulations guaranteeing single-sex spaces when she told a trans-identified male, Dr Beth Upton, to use the female changing room at the hospital where he was working. Bumba justified this decision with comments that I assume sounded really clever and convincing, inside her own head.

'I don’t know anything about Beth’s body. I didn’t at the time. I don’t now. I don’t need to know. But it wouldn’t be something that I would ever have the information of exactly what she is made of, biologically.'

Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, backed Bumba up, expressing outrage on the witness stand that anyone would be so insensitive as to ask about Upton's chromosomes.

‘I could only imagine how upsetting and invasive a question that would be for Beth, and also not relevant to a colleague to ask another colleague. Beth identifies as female, and it does not matter what her chromosomes are to her.’

In Bumba and Searle's world, a belief that gender identity trumps biological sex is proof you're intellectually and morally superior to women like Sandie Peggie, so I'd imagine it's come as a shock to discover, in a blaze of public and press scrutiny, just how idiotic and cruel they appear to people outside their dinner party circle.

When Upton, a 6' tall, 28-year-old ex-rugby playing male, claimed that a petite 50-year-old female nurse was making him feel 'unsafe', his word appears to have been taken as gospel. Searle, Bumba and management fell over themselves to coddle the middle-class doctor who shared their voguish post-modern views on gender. What did Sandie matter? She's just one of those ghastly uninformed bigots who still thinks sex is real and important - so embarrassingly gauche and simplistic! Whisper it - she probably drinks red wine with chicken, too.

According to @tribunaltweets, an emotional Searle blurted out on the stand 'I am kind.' This is not something genuinely kind people need to say. Genuinely kind people don't find themselves compelled to explain in court why they helped whip up a witch-hunt against a woman whose only crime was wanting to change her clothes without a man watching.

Well, the nurse who was supposed to shuffle off in disgrace wasn't having it. Sandie Peggie refused to be sacrificed on the altar of elitist ideologues who believe themselves to be higher and better than she is. She fought back, for herself and for every other woman who's currently being silenced, persecuted and punished by a smug management class that preens itself on its virtue while imposing rampantly misogynistic policies on its workforce.

Sandie Peggie is a heroine. The woman NHS Fife thought they could treat abominably without any consequences to themselves has succeeded in shining the brightest spotlight yet upon the brain rot and compassion deficit suffered by supposedly intelligent people when they embrace gender identity ideology. Women everywhere owe her a debt of thanks. Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, Sandie Peggie has already won.

Can we kill this stupid idea that a male on hormones produces breastmilk like a mother’s?
Men’s hormone regime omits prolactin (milk-making hormone which mothers produce post birth); they can’t make colostrum; the amount they can produce is minuscule; the drugs given have risks.

[With Woman @WeAreWithWoman]

No, @wesstreeting …’women & transmen’ is unclear, confusing & unnecessary. Everyone knows what sex they are. Has this clunky ‘additive language’ ever been subject to an impact survey across the whole target group?

@jk_rowling all the "good " people who get their information from The Guardian and the BBC have been misinformed to say the very least.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The misrepresentation in certain sections of the media of what the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling actually means is outrageous.

The ruling clarified that women and girls have sex-based rights under British law, and that those rights haven't changed since women gained them.

Trans activist lobby groups lied about what the law said. They claimed trans-identified men were entitled to everything women were entitled to, under the law. This false interpretation, which removed sex-based rights from women and girls and gave trans-identified men additional rights, may have been imposed upon large sections of society, but it was always illegal, as countless legal experts and grassroots women's groups fought to have recognised.

The Supreme Court restored to women rights they'd lost in practice. Trans-identified men lost nothing in law, because they'd never had the rights they claimed they had. The media types now hyperventilating in print because trans people's rights have been 'reduced' are still lying. Nothing has been taken from trans-identified people except a false belief, and women have simply regained what they should have had all along.
