I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.
@podsavetheuk As a women I vehemently refute the "If they come for one of us they come for all of us" line regarding my sex-based rights.
Women's rights are not wedded to male rights, especially 'rights' of males that perform female sex stereotypes and equate that with "womanhood".
Dads, are you considering selling off your primary school aged daughters into a lifetime of sexual slavery? If so get in touch with the BBC News now, who are looking to a sympathetic piece on the difficulties of being a man.
A stump - all that’s left of a 300 year old mulberry tree once the centrepiece of the garden at Ladywell House. The Ladywell Society has written to planners criticising the failure to protect the tree which was heavily “pruned” by developers. https://t.co/GKgXaB2MSl
I wrote this four years ago about the TickleVGiggle case⬇️. If you are new to this politics, this is the reality we now live in. Please don’t pretend nobody knew or that these are unintended consequences, you’ll just make us feminists grumpy.
“Three judges today said a man can be a woman and fined a real woman $20,000 for hurting the feelings of a man who thinks he’s a woman.”

Yep, that about sums it up.
We (lawyers) have been saying this repeatedly. Once you replace “sex” with “gender,” and/or allow men to identify as women, women lose ALL protections in law.
Everything we have fought for, gone in an instant. The clock is wound back a century.
We have to fight this. Worldwide. We’ve seen what happens to women in countries where women have, once again, become chattel - no schooling, no leaving the house without a male guardian, and ultimately, no speaking.
If you think it is impossible, remember: those same women had rights 20 years ago. Now they have none.
"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."
I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:
@Serena_Partrick Being a woman is not an opt-in exercise.
Being a woman is not a surgical outcome.
Being a woman is not a role you can turn down.
Being a woman is real, immutable and glorious.

Today, as Australia has removed any & all sex discrimination laws from women, remember this! Do not vote for anyone who puts fashionable ideology above truth. It will be the most disadvantaged women in society who will pay the biggest price too & certainly not men.
As we approach the Giggle v Tickle decision, I’m remembering that
• I received an Australian Human Rights Commission complain citing “gender identity discrimination” when I was 14/15 weeks pregnant.
• The AHRC was, imo, never neutral. It was gender ideology capture from the very beginning. While they were talking about “assigned sex at birth” and “lived experience”, I was 20 weeks pregnant & found out I was having a girl.
• To settle the complaint in the AHRC - and not have it escalate to federal court - I had to • agree to let him on the woman only social networking app I created • a
let all men who claim to be women on the app • apologize • attend “sex & gender education classes • pay $20,000 • moderate all content on the woman only platform so men who claim to be women weren’t offended by it.
• The AHRC never meaningfully entertained my argument that woman only spaces were lawful. I always felt that their stance was, “you’re guilty, admit it, accept it.”
• While contemplating the magnitude of what I had to do, I thought about my daughter & that I would eventually be teaching her to stand up for herself & do what is right. How could I do that if I ran away when something seemed too hard?
• I said “NO” to what the AHRC was offering. Tickle filed in federal court 60 days later and “Tickle v Giggle” began.
• A federal court case + full appeal & my daughter is about to turn 4 years old. Giggle v Tickle has been in the background of her whole life. Any time the case has been incredibly stressful - and there have been many times, I was losing my hair at one point - I have just focused on my daughter & it instantly became easier. I want her to have rights & will do everything I can to ensure that she does.
• I want every woman & girl to be able to say “NO” to a man, no matter how he identifies, and not be punished for it.
• At no point in the past 4.5 years have I been even remotely convinced that men can be women. Not once. In fact, I’m more sure than ever that they’re not.
• Thank you everyone for the support. It would be impossible to have this fight without it.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!
About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!
It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?
Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.
'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.
If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.
Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.
Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.
