The 'regular bloke' on the street now finds that his opinions are apt to get him cancelled. But the true crisis isn't what happens to the few who dare to speak up: it's the fact that millions have learned to keep silent. https://t.co/pfkaTURC0K

So as well as releasing rapists early and letting women know they don’t matter enough, this Government is now letting cop killers out of prison early, letting police officers know they don’t matter enough.

Men & boys are not women or girls, and it isn’t hate to say it.

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

Really hope 10th Health Secretary in 9 years will prioritise women's health issues that have been woefully sidelined, especially maternity care and birth trauma. She has a huge amount of data, reports, direct testimony and on-going inquiries to draw from. The APPG's 2024 report, the parents, the professionals @BirthTrauma, @masic_uk must be listened to.

You won’t believe what happened on the farm

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Trans-identified men in Edinburgh are fortunate enough to be welcome at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which was headed for a while by a trans-identified man who believed, and said publicly, that women who wanted a female-only service were bigots. That same rape centre admitted a male as a client because he called himself non-binary. The man was subsequently convicted for rape.

Beira’s Place was set up by me to provide women in Edinburgh and the Lothians with the female-only service they were being denied. Internal emails between ERRC staff were revealed during an unrelated court case, which showed them to be angry and dismayed that there was now an alternative service for women. One might have thought, reading those emails, that ERRC staff’s priority was the ideological conversion of rape survivors rather than the provision of a service that traumatised women required to feel safe after rape.

Beira’s Place has been exceptionally busy since it opened. We’ve taken on more staff and are currently looking for larger premises. We’ve helped women who’ve admitted that they didn’t want to use the alternative rape centre because of its very loud and public ‘trans women are women’ stance. We are also open to any and all trans-identified women who need support after rape.

In short, you’ll be relieved to hear that the trans-identified men for whom you feel such empathy and compassion aren’t losing out. It was biological women who were being shamed for their entirely legitimate desire for a male-free space. Apparently you’d have preferred that situation to continue, but I think you’ll find that most people, whether male or female, will see that as evidence of your cruelty, not mine.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I’m often tickled by press articles asserting that I’m furious about things that actually gave me a proper belly laugh. This time, though, knock yourselves out. Amnesty’s attack on Beira’s Place has left me burning with the kind of fury that mounts with every passing hour.

[Nova Exhibition @novaexhibition]

‘Personally I wish I’d come earlier.’

Those are the words of former prime minister @BorisJohnson after visiting the Nova Exhibition.

Reflecting on his visit, he paid tribute to the victims, the brave survivors, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

What is the rationale for a public service broadcaster like the BBC paying a DJ (Scott Mills) £750,000 a year to present the breakfast show on Radio 2 playing soft rock music which commercial radio already provides in abundance?

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

What Muslims did to Yazidis in Iraq was so much worse than what is happening in Gaza.

Elderly women buried alive for being too old to be sex slaves.

Mothers forced to eat their own babies.

Young girls locked in iron cages and burned to death.

Yet not a single protest! Everyone who’s now protesting for Gaza was completely silent. Why is that?

Unlike the people of Gaza, the Yazidis never started a war!

Imagine a group of white people saying that they know what it’s like to “feel black,” and that because of this feeling, and their enjoyment of stereotypically “black behavior,” they are now not just black themselves, but the most marginalized and vulnerable type of black person.

Imagine them insisting that they should be the main focus of all activism meant to help black people. Imagine them having taxpayer-funded operations to darken their skin and mimic stereotypically black features.

Imagine them walking around in blackface, and saying it’s better than being born black.

Imagine them being referred to as black in the press and supported by celebrities, with laws passed to make white people who identify as black a protected class.

Imagine these people demanding membership in black organizations, and demanding they be given awards created specifically to honor black achievement.

Then imagine them getting their way.

Now imagine mobs of them showing up to black events that don’t include them to drown out any speakers with noise, and coming up with slurs for any black person who doesn’t accept that white people are black if they say they are.

Imagine them calling for the rape, torture, and mass murder of any black person who disagrees with them. Imagine them getting black people doxxed, harassed, assaulted, fired from their jobs, and investigated by the police for saying that you have to be born black to be black.

Now imagine the government supporting their demands.

That’s exactly the position that women are in right now, with a few extras, like being locked in cells with dangerous men, the sexual predation of lesbians via coercion, and the increased risk of sexual assault in formerly female-only spaces.

Our greatest oppressors are now claiming not only the right to oppress us in whole new ways, but the right to erase our identities as women and rewrite the meaning of womanhood in ways that not just include, but prioritize them.

If you wouldn’t support this kind of behavior towards black people, you have no business supporting this kind of behavior towards women.

[Tish Reid OLY #SaveWomensSports @OsteopathTish]

Pretty much cast iron evidence that 'trans' rights are *all* about trashing women's rights. Well done @amnesty @amnestyUK for confirming what we've all been shouting about with no one listening.

Tragic news. A great actor and a genuinely good man. RIP Sam Neill.

[suzanne moore @suzanne_moore]

You know what this idiotic Shamnesty report has brought out on X? A wondrous solidarity between all kinds of women and our allies. There is nothing more threatening to the establishment than the grassroots organising of women and yes these fools ARE the establishment.

[Scottish Labour Women's Declaration @LWDScotland]

"The women Amnesty condemns are among the most committed human rights defenders I have ever met. They are part of the most effective feminist movement since the introduction of universal suffrage."

Thank you @euanmccolm - great piece.

If male staff are in any way distracted by children's knees, I don't think they should be allowed anywhere near a school, to be honest.

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

🔊To those asking, “How can we help Afghan women?” — the answer is simple, but powerful:

First, share their voices. In a time when even speaking puts women at risk, being heard means hope, visibility, and survival.

Second, support our online education program. Despite fear and restrictions, Afghan girls are secretly continuing their studies. You can help by sponsoring internet access so students can attend online classes, or by volunteering as a teacher and sharing your knowledge with girls who have been denied education.

This month and next month, our focus is on one of our students who urgently needs surgery. You can read her story on our GoFundMe page and help if you are able.

We have also launched a new initiative called Sister Care, which supports 20 vulnerable women, who live inside Afghanistan. Please read about this new initiative, share your feedback and ideas, and support it if you can.

Third, support food aid or urgent medical assistance for widows and women living alone who have no male provider in the household and are often too afraid to go outside.

These small acts can change lives.
