Today @ScottishLabour Women's conference in #Stirling voted to join the campaign to Close Strip Clubs. Speakers gave credit to the work of @FiLiA_charity on this issue. Misogyny, violence, sexual abuse - women deserve respect - not commodification. #NoMoreStripClubs
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.
The fact that this keeps happening suggests a systemic failure related to technical equipment, training and/or EU rail liberalisation in Spanish railways.

@mgtruth@Mazclin Women are entitled to refuse care from a man ( however he identifies). What’s so difficult to understand here. It’s about what women want, that’s all.
@PaulaCScot The patient doesn’t want to be treated by a male ( however he identifies ). That’s the point, don’t you accept women have the right to ask for same sex care. That’s not bullying.
@flying_rodent@DhubhMhairi@shhh_agent Do you realise that women ( I am one ) saying they want same sex spaces, and same sex health care is entirely reasonable. It’s not ugly or nasty.
A throwback to the hen party traditions of yesteryear. An excerpt from "Halfway to Paradise", broadcast on Channel 4 in November 1989. Starting in the Partick Tavern, the group make their way around the pubs of Dumbarton Rd, rattling their pots and pans along the way.

This is not a grand statement, as I'm not a fan of when non-Ministers/MPs do those, but just to say that tomorrow I'll be resigning from @NHSEngland's LGBT+ Sounding Board over the NHS's announcement that all trans staff and patients must use facilities of their biological birth.
The Communist Party of Britain stands in full solidarity with the CPI(M) and progressive forces in India facing violent state repression while fighting to protect democratic rights.
We strongly condemn the BJP government's neo-fascist assault on democracy and demand an immediate end to voter suppression and political attacks on the working class.
