Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

@QcWynter @poz_woods The term 'cisgender' was used throughout documents prepared for us on HoC Women and Equalities Select Committee yesterday, despite it's dictionary definition being 'not trans'. So a contested term that many women (51% of UK pop) find offensive, just slipped in to official docs...

[Maeve Halligan @MaeveHalligan]

Me speaking at Let Women Speak in Hyde Park yesterday. Rejecting harmful gender ideology can be hard for young people for so many reasons. But that is why we must do just that. Thank you to those who listened (once I 'got my mop out the way!')

This fantastic video was made by @andysayshi1, and he would love to see it shared as widely as possible.

(he doesn’t even care about the credit, but i think he deserves a massive thank you)

In the UK, 11 trans people have been murdered since 2000.

In the same country, from 2009 - 2021, 16 women were murdered by serving or retired police officers. Not killed by officers in the line of duty — flat out murdered.

In 2022 alone, 11 British women were killed by male strangers. 12 were murdered by their own sons; 150 British women have been murdered by their own sons since 2012.

On average, a woman is murdered by a man in the UK once every 72 hours.

Where is the Day of Remembrance for the women murdered by their own sons? By their husbands, their fathers, their brothers? By serving police officers?

In the last 25 years, there have been nearly twice as many trans-identifying murderers than there have been murder victims - 20 murderers, versus 11 victims — and yet we’re told to believe that this is a genocide, while our own dead go ignored and unnamed.

These people are, per capita, the safest demographic in the UK, with a homicide rate of 0.38 per 100k (for women, it’s 0.50 per 100k, and for normal men, it’s 1.23.) but we’re supposed to believe that they’re being physically exterminated? Or is genocide another one of those words that has deliberately been stripped of its meaning, like “woman” and “female”?

Who gains when people are conditioned to roll their eyes at the word “genocide”? When “woman” has no meaning in law or policy? What is the end game here?

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

Honestly, if you're a Labour MP who's a long-term but totally secret Terf, and you're still making foolish ignorant statements about the EHRC code to save yourself, do you really think women who've you've watched being bullied by the LP over the years will keep yr secret forever?

Here’s Peter Tatchell, pursuing his lifelong dream of being able to have sex with 14 year old boys.

And here is an essay Tatchell wrote about a child rape victim.

[Biology in Medicine @biologyinmed]

It really is beyond belief that girls don’t have access to single sex toilets in all schools. It’s a significant health and wellbeing concern, particularly around menstrual periods and urinary infections. Some of these girls won’t go to school for lack of appropriate toilets, so they miss out on their education.
Sex is real, it matters, and girls need respect and dignity.

Reminder that this brilliant video exists. If you know who made this, I’d love to give them credit.

Incredible stuff @MrNishKumar. I was on the EHRC Board working group that supervised the production of the Code. I’ve been an equality law specialist for 26 years. We scrutinised every line exhaustively, following detailed, highly specialist legal advice and a huge consultation.>

Female cyclist Hannah Arensman retired from the sport she loves, after a man in a women’s race was very physical & aggressive towards her

Austin Killips got off his bike and waited for Hannah 3 different times, pushing her against the wall. This video is just one of them

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

An investigation into the persistent failure of UK police to protect women exercising their lawful right to hold a female-only event, alongside the failure to hold men like 'Sarah Savage' accountable for repeated acts of intimidation and public disorder, is long overdue.

[Le_Sorelle_Arduino KPSS @Sorelle_Arduino]

France, where Gisèle Pelicot’s husband arranged for at least 83 men to rape her, where we learned of a chat group of 70k men interested in doing the same, is prosecuting a woman for saying we should be wary of people with penises

The prosecutor wants her fined & reeducated 🤬

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Ellie, I founded @lumos, which exists to combat child institutionalisation. When children are placed in so-called orphanages, usually due to conflict, poverty or disability, their risk of being trafficked skyrockets. I've been engaged in this issue for over twenty years and have contributed significant time and resources to it. My charitable trust, Volant, focuses on issues pertaining to disadvantaged women and children, which includes sexual exploitation.

I'm not sure how many children you think you're saving by yelling at me on X, but if child trafficking is such an important issue to you, you could always devote time, effort and resources to organisations and charities working to stop it.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms.

Let that land.

The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces.

This is not opinion.
This is not politics.
This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act.

And Ed Davey wants it gone.

His stated reason?

The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.”

British values.

He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces.

The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward.

This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems.

Their leader wrote the letter.

The party has chosen its side.

It is not the side of women.

Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.

[Caroline Farrow @CF_Farrow]

I want to recap what actually happened at M&S, because some people seem determined to turn this into something it was not.

I went early evening because I thought the shop would be quieter. I was shopping with my teenage daughter, who is autistic and has sensory issues around clothing.

Anyone who parents a child with sensory difficulties will understand how hard clothes shopping can be. Fabric, fit, seams, tightness, waistbands, labels, texture, all of it matters. Something can look perfectly fine on the hanger and be completely unbearable once worn.

Ordering several sizes online and returning them is neither logistically nor economically feasible for us, and in any case my daughter likes to touch and see things before deciding whether she is comfortable with them. That approach simply doesn’t work for her.

So, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing would have suited me better than for my daughter to be able to try the clothes on and ensure she has enough things to see her through Summer.

That was the whole point of going to the changing rooms.

I was not looking for confrontation. I was not trying to make a political point. I was trying to make an ordinary shopping trip work for an autistic teenage girl who finds clothes difficult.

I walked into the changing area calmly and practically. My intention was to find a suitable cubicle, ideally the larger disabled one, check that it felt safe and manageable, and then encourage my daughter to follow me in.

That was the plan.

Had she been able to try the clothes on, it would have saved time, stress, uncertainty, returns, and the familiar nightmare of buying something that later turns out to be impossible for her to wear.

So the idea that I somehow wanted there to be a problem is absurd.

The changing room was supposed to be the solution.

The problem arose when my daughter became distressed by the presence of a male member of staff supervising the changing area. I had not anticipated her reaction. It was not scripted by me. I did not wind her up. I did not march in looking for a row.

She reacted. I saw her distress. I took it seriously.

And yes, I think a teenage girl, particularly an autistic teenage girl, is entitled to feel safe and comfortable in a changing-room environment.

This is not complicated. It is not about hating anyone. It is not about being difficult. It is not about “vibes” or emotional projection or whatever patronising theory people wish to attach to it online.

It is about a vulnerable young woman trying to buy clothes, and finding that the space provided did not feel safe or appropriate to her.

Parents of autistic children spend a lot of time trying to prepare, adapt, reassure, smooth things over, and make ordinary life manageable. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

On this occasion, it didn’t.

But I will not apologise for taking my daughter’s distress seriously. Or believing that M&S should change their policy.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

The @LibDems. Demonstrating that they are neither liberal, nor democratic.

➡️ Actively urging the destruction of women’s and girls’ rights in the UK.
➡️ Pretending they respect the ‘rule of law’ - while wanting to change that law because it doesn’t fit their ideological derangement.

[Mara Yamauchi @mara_yamauchi]

At least 14 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun today.

One got 1st Female. He’s now amassed 101 1st Female finishes - 100 more than the 1st Male he got once in nearly 5 years running in the Male category.

Another was Labour councillor Kaz Self who famously tried…

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

Yes. One was raped in a male hospital ward because staff said gender is more important than sex.
If the GC movement had been listened to, she would have been placed away from men.
You won’t see this post. You blocked me because I point out things like this to people like you…
