This vile politician is an absolute disgrace. I hope you can all see why we at The Rape Gang Inquiry refused to work with her. Her only interest was money, and she has spent the last year doing everything in her power to undermine the inquiry.

Despicable.

I’ve studied these conditions since 2017 and published a handbook featuring 25 of them.

Each condition features a sex development chart and accessible commentary, along with 200 in-text citations to scientific research.

‘There should be a full inquiry into this.’

@AvaLovelaceX The chemical castration of troubled children isn't healthcare. Kind of cringe how many fetishists are still trying to use kids as a born-in-the-wrong-body fig leaf.

How can anyone in their right mind spend more than 10 seconds deciding if a man who’s pretending to be a woman, who has a history of sexual assault against women, should be put in a woman’s prison! This contempt for women is extraordinary

[Women o' Scotland @WomenOScotland]

Another devastating failure to protect a vulnerable child.
Baby Preston Davey just 13 months old, premature and already fighting for life -was murdered by his adoptive “father” Jamie Varley after months of sexual and physical abuse. His partner John McGowan-Fazakerley was convicted of allowing the death.
Why was this placement approved in a same-sex male household? Were authorities paralysed by fear of being labelled homophobic, putting ideology over evidence-based safeguarding?

Ladies wishing to buy clothes for their children and themselves might wish to print a copy of this letter from M&S Chairman Archie Norman and take it with them.

Holy shit. The EU Commission gave €2.4 million to a researcher for a project intended to "free science and society from the unfounded dogma of sex categories" and "to challenge the ancient categorization of humans into men and women and the unjust gendered social order this categorization helps maintain."

The grant has resulted in just three research papers, all concerning sexual attraction, based on internet surveys and an existing dataset (from what I can tell, there is nothing more).

What the hell?? Two and a half million? It's like that UK project that got €750k and produced a couple of internet surveys on "fragile heterosexuality".

“If I were to say even half of what you say here at my school, I would be fired.” - One of the many reactions Marianne Driessen of Athena Forum received after speaking at the 20th anniversary symposium of @BestuurBon on 'Sex and gender in the classroom'.

The response from the education professionals in the audience was overwhelming. They told of how much they now censor themselves, because critical scrutiny of gender identity in education in the Netherlands is not tolerated.

The concept of gender, together with the accompanying and often confusing language, has found its way into teaching materials and even into the core curriculum objectives. In the elaboration of these objectives by the Dutch National Curriculum Institute (SLO), it states: “By the term sex, we mean gender.” In this way, the biological concept of sex is simply replaced by “gender,” a term that is not further defined. The words “woman” and “man” have even been replaced by “bodies.”

It's past time to have these discussions, for the sake of both children and teachers.

[HeCheated.org @hecheateddotorg]

Not a single man on earth has ever "lived as a woman."

Tucking your penis between your legs, having it removed or inverted, hiding your past history as a man, demanding people call you a woman, fighting for access to women's spaces, getting facial feminization surgery, doing voice training and having your vocal chords shaved, and discovering you're a "woman" through reddit is not how women live.

On this day in 1944, George Stinney, 14, became the youngest person executed in the US in the 20th century. He was so small they had to stack books on the electric chair.

Due to no evidence, his conviction was posthumously vacated 70 years after his execution!

A THREAD!

@LevenePaul49134 @JournalistJill So, “Paula” is a “cis” man then?

(Given that “cis” is used to mean “actual,” I’m going to agreed with you here. ALL so-called “trans women” are actual men.)

[Slarty Bartfast @Poppy_yyyyyyyy]

Yes, I’m 41 and a huge Harry Potter fan. If anyone is wondering, here is why. When I was 13 I was a massive bellend trying to better myself by reading Kafka and Dostoyevsky and lots of other things that were far too grown up for me. One day my younger sister told me she’d read a book called Harry Potter and that she thought I’d like it.

I reluctantly started reading it and immediately fell in love with it. The child that I still was came alive again. It was funny. It was exciting. It was really bloody good.

Fast forward to the summer of 2007 and my dad was dying from brain cancer. He was an incredible man and he was reduced to lying in a bed in the sitting room, half paralysed, unable to speak or feed himself and terrified. It was humiliating and awful and it got to the point where I think all of us were actually wanting an end to it.

The Deathly Hallows was released and I started reading it when I was sat with my dad. One day my mum told my sister and I to get out of the house as we needed a break and we went to Mansands, near where we lived in Brixham. We were sat on the beach and I was reading the part where Dobby dies. He dies on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town. I was on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town attempting to cope with the imminent death of my dad. It was as though I was in the book. The stories that I’d loved for years were speaking directly to me.

And then I spotted JKR’s ‘absent-minded’ like on a tweet about men in dresses and it cemented her as an absolute legend for me.

Yes, I know this sounds like I’m a total kiss arse and you shouldn’t have heroes but I do and she’s JK Rowling.
