I learnt when I was 6 that men will create an entire public personality to cover up their real abusive one. I learned when I was 6 that men will beat a woman until she can’t move, and if you get in the way, you get it too. 1/
A trans activist walked into Stonewall’s offices today and read a letter demanding that Kezia Dugdale and Stonewall publicly condemn @jk_rowling
Stonewall’s response?
They reportedly called the police.
@GarySpedding@helenstaniland The first time I was called a terf was for saying ‘but lesbian sex is real sex, there doesn’t have to be a penis involved for it to be sex’. If you think that is bigoted, YOU ARE THE BIGOT.
As the UK emerges from its long decade of gender induced madness, I think it’s worth remembering that the man who wrote this now works for the government.
Matt Thompson is now employed by @GalopUK, the government funded LGBTQ+ charity that defines “asking a trans person upsetting questions” as a hate crime. Mr. Thompson’s position is listed as “Transphobic Hate Crime Advocate.”
In a country where ordinary people struggle to pay the bills, and housing is all but unaffordable, perhaps it is not in taxpayers’ best interests for their government to be shelling out £4.5 million yearly to keep Galop going (including £33,291/year to compensate Mr. Thompson for his “work”), given they have had to resort to listing “upsetting questions” as a hate crime in order to justify their continued existence.

Pride in Surrey 2026 has been cancelled, citing rising costs and a loss of corporate sponsorship. With Surrey County Council’s review still unpublished, it’s no surprise sponsors are wary of an organisation whose founder is in prison for child s*x offences.
I’m going to unpack some of this.
1. The premise that women are unknowingly carting around a Y (with SRY) is massively over exaggerated. The risk of Surprise SRY is minimal.
2. The risk of Surprise SRY is, however, non-zero. But in reproductively healthy women who have had periods and, more definitively, had kids is as near to zero as one can map in science.
3. That is, if you are a person who got a period before 16yo (ish), who has ever been pregnant or who has had the kind of screens that are offered to women (like cervical screening) without any drama, I’d bet my house you don’t have SRY.
4. If you have proof you have popped eggs and/or seen your ovaries, you would be almost singular (literally in the scientific record, the second case to my knowledge) if you also have SRY, functional or otherwise. If that’s me, with my entirely healthy reproductive system and physiology, I’m writing myself into a paper.
5. If you are born appearing female but actually carting around a Y with an SRY, it will almost always make it’s presence felt during puberty. You won’t menstruate, your GP might then discover unusual anatomy etc. Nobody in the U.K. should be getting Surprise SRY.
6. Ironically, Mums to boys are the most likely confounder (via fetal microchimerism). It should not need to be said that picking up some cells from the baby boy you’ve carried in your belly doesn’t change your sex. The carrying of the baby boy, almost certainly from your own egg, refutes that. 🙄
7. If, despite being an apparently healthy woman, you get a Surprise SRY, that means you’re an interesting woman, not a man. It also means that you won’t be excluded from female sport. Because whatever your genetics, sport is divided on bodies.
8. The lay person’s fascination with genetics and the cultural position that DSDs are “just normal variation” has led a fair amount of even normally-sensible people down a dumb rabbit hole. They are medical conditions that are really rare. 1/20k is a binned frequency that we use in genetics to describe things that are really rare. It’s not a measured number, it’s almost qualitative.
@pet_r1ch0r@IndiaWilloughby I opened this app yesterday, and the first thing I saw with no warning was a woman being thrown to her death because the guys forgot to attach the bungee cord. Kids should be kept away from seeing that.
The constant pushing her shoulders back to look even more skinnier and show off her bones and her family commenting that she looks good? So heartbreaking
