I love this guy. He's everything an academic should be: "Let's define bigoted opinions...", "Let's learn how to critically think..."

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.

He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.

Watch until the end.
You see the epiphany in real-time.

📣"In 7th grade I went to change for gym class and I was shocked to see a male changing in front of me. This isn't something any 13-year old girl should have to walk into. I needed a safe space and I didn't feel safe." -Cassidy, Mainer, elite H.S. athlete

We cannot force females to undress next to - or compete against - males, without their consent. We should believe girls. Respect their personal boundaries. Protect their sex-based rights. Honor their dignity.

📣"It's discriminating against me to place a male in my locker room. Where do I get to have a safe space?"

If a female wants a female-only private space of sport, she is owed that legally and morally. Same with males. Anything else is regressive, sexist, and illegal.

Anyone continuing to say this "isn't happening", or is "manufactured" or "invented" is a GASLIGHTER of young girls.

Maine is far too progressive to continue allowing our schools to violate the sex-based rights of our state's most vulnerable population: its children.

Mainers will eventually end this, and enact sex-designated private spaces & competitive sports in our schools via our referendum. The question isn't "if", it's simply "when".

[Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS]

This is the organisation the gender-identity activists took down. In 1977 Amnesty International was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their defence of human dignity against torture.

They went from that to hounding women for talking about women's rights.

What a surprise… not!

@DublinAirport @jet2tweets Nothing? You're not bothered about your customer service reputation at @DublinAirport? Don't fancy going the extra mile even if you don't have to?

[Philippa L @PhilippaL_]

@DublinAirport scores again! My suitcase is lost there again and again they're ignoring requests from Jet2 to send it home to me! It's been at T2 since Sunday guys - I can see it's AirTag. Please give it back - 29 degrees here & I need my summer clothes! 🔥🥵☀️

[Philippa L @PhilippaL_]

@DublinAirport @jet2tweets I've done that. And just brushing me off like this isn't impressing me. How about at least offering me some assistance with contact numbers at T2 for example? I'm happy to chase them. I just want my case out of your airport and back with me!

[stephen o'rahilly (its pronounced O-RA-hill-EEE) @StephenORahilly]

@DublinAirport As a proud Dubliner I’m begging you to hold up my city airport’s reputation and respond to @jet2tweets so that my wife can get her suitcase back!! We know it’s with you as we can see the AirTag! Please!!

[Philippa L @PhilippaL_]

@DublinAirport @DublinAirport - you really can't duck responsibility for this. It's your team at Dublin Airport that's not doing its job. The very helpful @jet2tweets Lost Baggage team at Stansted can't get a response from them!

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

Remember, every person who says they are disgusted by the Supreme Court judgment is admitting that:

They’re disgusted that female sexual assault survivors might meet in a support group to open up about their trauma, without men being present.

They’re disgusted that lesbians can socialise exclusively with other lesbians, without men being present.

They’re disgusted by new mothers gathering together to discuss breastfeeding or post partum problems, without men being present.

They’re disgusted that girls can play sport with other girls and shower, change and dress, without boys being present.

They’re disgusted that organisations - which realise they are too male dominated - can’t fill any female quotas with other men.

They’re disgusted that vulnerable female prisoners and arrestees can’t be searched by men or kept in a cell with other men.

They’re disgusted that women can have their own things.

They’re disgusted by the Equality Act 2010.

They’re disgusted by the law.

Isn’t that disgusting?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Appalling 🧵

I want those who champion men in women’s sport to explain why they’re happy to put girls at risk like this.

[Philippa L @PhilippaL_]

I don't want this guy in my communal women's gym changing room. Nor do the preteen Girls' junior swim team. We get naked in there because we know we're safe. @EmilyThornberry doesn't give a damn about our privacy & safety. But I bet she wouldn't strip in front of him.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

MP Emily Thornberry joins 120 colleagues in support of men like this to have unfettered access to female-only spaces with your daughters, nieces, mothers, female friends.
And she turns off replies because she’s doesn’t want to hear dissent.

[Julie Bindel @bindelj]

So the Greens want to ban circumcision for babies, but massively support and promote chopping off schlongs in the name of 'authenticity'? Bonkers as per usual:

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s 2026 and there are MPs who think human beings can’t detect the difference between male and female members of our species with almost-perfect accuracy 🫠

[Dr Pam Gosal MBE @DrPamGosal]

For some crazy reason, NHS Lanarkshire has decided to label mothers of stillborn babies as ‘mothers/birthing people.' 

This is gender ideology imposed on grieving families at the worst moment of their lives. 

But yet again,  this is the direct result of the SNP spending years pushing  this dangerous ideology into every corner of Scottish public life.

[The Heartlands Tribune @HeartlandsTrib]

Pride, the old proverb warns, comes before a fall. And so it has proved.

You can measure the fall precisely. Among Britain's largest corporations, social media posts mentioning Pride have collapsed by ninety-two per cent in two years. Manchester Pride, forty years old, went into liquidation owing creditors three million pounds. Reform councils in Durham, Gateshead and Staffordshire have cut the grants and hauled down the flags. The sponsors who once queued to wear the rainbow are walking away, and the names on the departure list read like a stock index.

The easy story is that Britain is turning against gay people. The polling says otherwise. Only seven per cent of Britons hold a negative view of gay and lesbian people. The right to love your own sex, to marry, to live openly, has never been more widely accepted. That war is over. It was won.

What the public has turned against is what Pride became while nobody was watching. Capital rented the flag and turned a riot into a retail opportunity. And behind the corporate floats came something worse: an ideology that brands same-sex attraction itself a heresy, that saw lesbians removed from a gay rights parade by police "for their own safety," and that watched eight Darlington nurses dragged through a tribunal for wanting a female changing room while their own union posted clenched fists against them.

In 1984, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners stood on street corners with collecting buckets for the coalfields, and the miners repaid the debt by carrying gay rights into the heart of the labour movement. That was solidarity of the old kind: it cost something, and it came with no sponsorship deal attached. Compare it with the unions of 2026, who found twenty-five thousand pounds for a Pride float and called women bigots for wanting to change in private. That is not solidarity. That is capture.

So let us be clear about what is dying and what is not. Rainbow capitalism is dying, good riddance. The ideology that recast same-sex attraction as a heresy and women's rights as an obstacle deserves to die with it. What cannot die, because it was never for sale, is the thing underneath: people standing with people, the right to your own body and your own desire, and the solidarity that makes the demand stick.

They built a movement so a man could love a man and a woman could love a woman. Then they called that love a heresy and rented the flag to any corporate taker. Pride comes before a fall. But the cause beneath it, love without shame, truth without fear, solidarity without sale, remains.

WHAT was Craoibhin Childcare in Letterkenny thinking? We entrust our children to these facilities & they recruit a man in a dress who calls himself Aleena Starshine?? The crèche should be prosecuted for endangering children. It only took Mister Starshine 4 days to proposition an 11 year old child.

[Rebecca Paul MP @Rebecca_SPaul]

Housing male prisoners in women’s prisons is a clear breach of the Equality Act 2010.

Yesterday I asked the EHRC what they are going to do about it given they have responsibility for enforcing the Equality Act.

[Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS]

More than 100 academics have urged the University of Oxford to reinstate a lecture series that was cancelled after protests from trans activists.

In the letter, published in The Times on Thursday, they wrote: “It appears that the university proctors authorised and facilitated protests inside the lecture theatre and did nothing to remove miscreants."

“If you’re asking biological related questions about how safe it is for a biological male to take drugs in order to lactate to feed a baby - & I cannot believe we’re having this conversation - then that person says, you’re vilifying me…”

Gender ideology gets even more insane 👇

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

🎊 It’s five years since @MForstater’s tribunal win established that gender-critical beliefs are #WorthyOfRespect. It’s the most important free-speech win of the past decade. It’s been cited in many legal cases, and protected many people from unlawful belief discrimination.
