Such brilliant articulation. A devastating outcome for those girls. A devastating message to all girls and women. Again. https://t.co/LrhVBVxAJs

[Laura Richards BSc MSc MBPsS @thecrimeanalyst]

Former Head of the Sexual Offences Section and Homicide Prevention Unit at New Scotland Yard here. Serial killer Peter Sutcliffe was enabled by the police due to their own misogyny and Levi Bellfield was just like these three teenage r@pists. Neither of them started with murder. Both serial killers were allowed to escalate because the system and those in it failed to stop them. In fact, it protected and enabled them just like these teenage r@pists. NOTHING has been learned in 50 years. Take action now:

[Rachael Wong @RachaelWongAus]

It feels like there’s been a shift today.

💥 This morning, @The_Nationals MP Alison Penfold introduced a bill to amend the Sex Discrimination Act and restore sex-based rights and protections for women and girls.

💥 Her speech was excellent, and unlike similar bills, hers was not stopped in its tracks.

💥 Then, at a press conference, she and Senator @mattjcan stood shoulder to shoulder with @salltweets - THE WOMAN who represents every woman and girl who has been vilified, punished or harmed as a result of the lie that men can be women.

And Sall of course, was her usual brilliant self 👇

Sure what do parents know or care about their kids 🤷‍♀️ They’ve barely even met them!

[Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter]

Dr. Natasha Johnson, a pediatrician at McMaster University, has become president of the Canadian Paediatric Society.

Dr. Johnson said at a 2022 WPATH conference that "parents' feelings" about their child's medicalized gender transition "should not be prioritized over the youth’s experience.” In other words, she argued for discounting parental objections to prescribing their children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria.

Dr. Johnson was instrumental in stirring up the protests against the recent systematic reviews of pediatric gender medicine out of Dr. Gordon Guyatt's lab. These protests ultimately led Dr. Guyatt and some of his colleagues to denounce their funder, the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine @SEGM_EBM, and seek to pull their names off of pending review papers, putting them in limbo.

52 abstentions in a public vote is a lot and strikes me as something of a statement.

[Colin Wight (not Colin Wright) @colwight]

I deleted an early post about this because Grok informed me that Maeve’s side won the debate. My fault for not checking further. Now Maeve’s mum (@lucymirandaward ) has given the actual figures (38 ayes, (Maeve’s side), 70 noes,
52 abstentions).

So I’ll repeat it. That a speech this good - beautifully delivered, eloquent, coherent, full of passion, backed up with facts - lost the debate indicates just how committed (and I mean committed, not captured) universities are to gender ideology.

And in that context it takes real bravery to stand up and tell them just how wrong they are. 70 people listening to this speech (and the other speakers on Maeve’s side) and voting against it is crazy. Hopefully, the abstentions hold out some hope. But because the ideology is so strongly held by university staff turning it around is going to be difficult.

[Sally O'Reilly @psychosal]

Disappointing messaging from @PresidentIRL . But not surprising 🙄😞

[Not All Gays Ireland 🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪 @NotAllGays]

We are extremely disturbed by the news that President Catherine Connolly has been named as a patron of Irish NGO Belong To - an organisation that receives huge tax funding, and has been instrumental in the push for mixed-sex bathrooms in Irish schools, curriculums that teach gender ideology as fact and ask students to sign pledge packs to subscribe to preferred pronoun usage, teaching teachers to hide and lie to parents about their children’s sexuality or gender identity, etc.

This organisation was once set up as a gay youth group, but as many of our members and founders experienced, it was not a place for LGB youth to find friends or find community, but rather an youth group that taught young and vulnerable lesbians or bisexual girls how to hide breast binders from parents, silenced questions, encouraged disparaging speak about “c1s” people and created a culture of secrecy and fear. We met with the Children’s Ombudsman to raise our concerns as lesbians, gays and bisexuals who had direct and indirect experience of Belong To, and these concerns were never investigated.

It is wholly inappropriate for @PresidentIRL to actively endorse such a controversial NGO, that has and continues to actively harm lesbian, gay and bisexual youth, particularly while she is the president.

“Sex and gender are different”

Yeeeesssss, and gender is sexist!!

[Melissa McIntosh MP @MGrahMcIntosh]

Following today's Federal Court ruling which is a blow to women’s rights, it is time for a review of the Sex Discrimination Act. Our laws need to work for Australian women, not against them.
