Unbelievably sickening. I’m writing an article right now, having already warned about the dangerous escalation and direct targeting of railway stations and passenger trains.
Explosions are still continuing now….
Now, 13 people have been killed in my city, civilians 🤬
The wounded are being evacuated from Dnipro railway station to hospitals.
My account on X appears to be throttled, so please share this. People need to see this blatant attack on civilians.
I’m heading down there shortly.
This apology from disability charity Scope, for cancelling my choir’s London Marathon performance because of my gender-critical views, is required to stay on its website for seven days.
Today is Day 6.
Women don’t always get the apologies they deserve. So I’d be grateful if you could help make sure this one is seen by sharing it over the next 24 hours (link below). 🙏
Thanks again to @SpeechUnion for supporting my legal case and helping secure this apology.
@gowildannette Isn’t it the same advice? Stop feeding seed through the spring and summer months when finches visit, because they are vulnerable to trich. The disease can spread even at clean feeders, unfortunately. Summer’s over, clean feeders now ok. Stop again in spring.
🚨 Breaking: After a three year battle, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has finally changed its policy on single-sex spaces for staff to bring it in line with the law.
It is amazing how simple it is! Now all NHS Trusts must urgently follow suit.
Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union and lead claimant in the case, said:
“This short sentence in a policy has taken women three years of fear, humiliation and extraordinary personal sacrifice to secure.
“We were nurses asking for the most basic protection: somewhere private and safe to undress at work, away from members of the opposite sex. Instead of listening, the Trust told us to compromise, broaden our mindset and be more inclusive. We were forced out of our own changing room, placed in inadequate facilities, threatened with disciplinary action and made to fear for our jobs and professional careers.
“Vulnerable colleagues were put under intolerable pressure. International nurses feared losing their visas. Women who had experienced domestic abuse were left distressed and afraid. Four of us were reported to our professional regulator simply for speaking publicly about what was happening.
“Throughout it all, the Trust defended a policy it had been warned was unlawful. Even after the Supreme Court clarified the law, it refused to change course. It took a full tribunal judgment, an apology, damages and an enormous bill before the Trust finally wrote biological reality into its policy.
“We welcome this change because it will protect women across the Trust, but it should never have required a three-year legal battle. No nurse should ever again be treated as we were for asking for dignity, privacy and safety.”

So much wildlife is lost in water troughs each year, and especially owls🦉😢
They go in to have a drink, or have a bath, and then they can't get out.
But it's really simple to make a water trough safe for wildlife. Here's what to do 👇
@Baroness_Nichol@ameliabombelia Is proximity the best guide to appropriate use? In my local store the former “women’s” changing room is also next to the online orders collection point. A man (not trans) was leaving having presumably tried on his purchases. Quite reasonably given the signage.
A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims.
The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones.
Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating.
Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter.
Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?https://t.co/JvfJEtk8LA
Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy.
There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West.
But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: https://t.co/LTTjiO1s7E)
Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault."
And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases?
I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game.

I am sick to death of reading how the Jewish community shouldn’t take support from X, shouldn’t have booed Y and how can we possibly expect the Community of the Good to stand with us if we do Z. How about you park your self righteous egos, be honest about where your support has been for the last two and a half years and either stand with the Jewish community against this unrelenting hate or just leave us alone. No other minority community has ever had to ask repeatedly for support when facing such racism. And it’s time the Jewish community stopped begging because if you can’t support us unconditionally, that’s on you, not us.
🚨When I thought for 12 years (12-24) that I had a boy brain in a girl body and needed to ‘pass’ as a man to be happy, I was not capable of understanding how badly I would get injured by being 🏳️⚧️trans.
Binding large breasts during a decade of one’s development is a really bad idea. And like most bad ideas, if you’re a teenager, you’ll probably think it’s “no big deal.”
This is especially so when everyone on the internet tells you that breast binding is totally safe and reversible. Those people are LIARS.
Not even losing 40 + pounds has taken that lasting pain away. It’s bittersweet to see the fat I was hiding under melt away. Sweet, because I look objectively better now. Bitter, because it makes the damage I’ve done to myself more evident.
Many layers of shapewear can hide the aesthetic damage, which is.. whatever. It’s a lost cause at this point.
But the pain in my back and the tingly, hot/cold sensations that become numbness in my left arm have only gotten progressively worse since I’ve stopped binding. While binding, my left arm would only go numb occasionally. Now, even with dramatic weight loss and the passage of time, the (presumably) nerve pain is more persistent. It has become a daily occurrence. It is inconvenient to have your arm go numb this often and I wish it would stop.
I’d like to regain the ability to stand up straight and to lie down on my side without my ribs hurting or feeling that my rib bones are hooking onto whatever is underneath me or to the side of me. I would like my old lung capacity back. I don’t have sensation in my chest except for pain and irritation. I do hope that goes away. I’m not sure what my next steps are. Anyone have any ideas?
There is nothing safe or reversible about binding your breasts in the long term, especially starting as a teenager.
