Imagine living like this for FIVE YEARS. Your entire life. This is what mother pigs endure in factory farms across the globe.
My wife @rose__patterson and her org @AnimalRising released this footage at a supposedly high welfare farm today. This has to stop.
Men who want to lactate into babies' mouths for "fun", let alone for "sexual gratification", should be nowhere near children. Shame in everyone who facilitated this planned talk.
1 / Thank you @Glinner 🙏
This was Feb 2020, 4 years before Tavistock GIDS was closed, the NHS stopped the routine prescription of 'blockers' and banned private prescription, and Cass and other systemic reviews revealed the seriously weak evidence for them
Graham called 'puberty blockers' out for being an experiment, and he was right
While he used this interview to draw attention to women being harassed / abused / cancelled and #TransingAwayTheGay, the interviewer accused him of using "Ridiculous exaggerations" and only wanted to focus on Graham "Fanning the flames"
Right at the start he said "I’ll admit, I’m not a great person to be in this conversation… I’m a comedy writer and I am very blunt”
Thanks for stepping up Graham and raising much-needed awareness when so many others looked away / denied there were issues, even when doing so cost you so dearly

"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence. It is an occupational hazard of living in society. If you really can't take it, become a hermit" - Ann Widdecombe.
The thing about free speech is it really only kicks in when the worst possible things are said. The moment you detest what someone has said - and what he said is detestable - is when you have to take a deep breath & accept that he can say it.
Free speech can be a really hard principle to live by, but it’s necessary as it’s the beginning of every other right.
No one should ever be arrested for something they say as one day it’s someone you disagree with but the next day it can be someone you do agree with. The solution for horrible speech is, simply, more speech.
It appears that (as many of us have suspected for years) Amnesty believes certain kinds of humans don’t deserve rights: women, girls and those who are proudly same-sex attracted. I hope donors from those groups are taking note.
@owenjonesjourno So you don't want trans-identifying males to feel threatened by the presence of other men when using communal toilets, but you're perfectly happy for women to be subjected to that same uncomfortable experience. Do you not see how illogical your argument is?
Incredibly disappointing to see this. It is galactically inappropriate for the President of Ireland to act as a patron to Belong To, a very well funded lobby group for the medicalisation of children’s identities.
We know these procedures cause harm. Children can’t consent to the loss of sexual functioning and infertility because they don’t understand the consequences of this. This is an unfolding medical scandal.

Whereas I find it insane that people with medical training could perform brutal, irreversible procedures on healthy kids to align their bodies with mystical gender spirits
NB! parkrun has 4 categories, Male, Female, Another Gender Identity & Prefer not to say.
Males are currently welcome in all 4 of them. What women are asking for is that JUST ONE of these be reserved for females.
For this, we are called bigots, c***s, transphobes, Nazis etc.
@Slate ‘Intersex’ isn’t a thing. Every single person who has ever lived is/was either male or female. Some are DSD, but they are still either male or female. And everyone can still compete in the Olympics if they meet the qualifying standards for their sex. This is 100% equality.
Let's try to get this straight:
No one is 'banned'
No one is 'prevented from competing'
No one is 'excluded'
There is a sex category for everyone.
Everyone can compete, where eligible.
You need to be good, and to qualify.
So, as they sometimes say;

Journalism is dying and one of the reasons is crap like this. Nobody will thank @Independent_ie for how they framed it. But a lot will simply turn away. You can insult a reader's opinions but never their intelligence. The sprint to irrelevance just sped up - #commercialsuicide
@KemiBadenoch@ClaireCoutinho What a brilliant idea to start calling this the Streeting Trial. He won't want to have his name forever associated with such a homophobic, unethical medical scandal.
