Today I resigned from @AmnestyUK after 40years. As a women's rights specialist I could no longer condone their failure to balance women's rights with trans rights @SexMattersOrg @Transgendertrd @FrancesShipsey @amnestynews @chiaracapraro @AllianceLGB @WRNBarnet @ruthdraper17

The NHS policy of including males in female spaces has had devastating results for women's safety, as our ground-breaking NHS Reports revealed. 🚩 Over a four year period more than 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults - some against children under 13 - were committed in hospitals in England and Wales. 🚩 In Scotland 276 sexual assaults and 12 rapes were committed between 2019 and 2024 in just 57 of Scotland’s 198 hospitals. The NHS put women and children in harm’s way with its relentless drive for ‘inclusion’ of males in the female estate. The news that the NHS in England will finally comply with the law is good news and long overdue. Link to WRN's Hospital Safety Reports in the next posts.

Labour will now ensure women and girls do not have fair competitive International sport. Men pretending to be women can continue to lie about themselves and steal places and prizes from women at International level. The incredible chance for women of the UK to lead the way in ensuring fair competition for women Internationally was wasted by Labour.
An amendment to the sporting events bill was defeated by Labour voting against it. @louie_french (and I as I suggested it in The Lords) Conservative shadow sports minister wanted int. events brought to this country to insist the female category is protected as the ioc does, & the uk Supreme Court ruling stipulates .. sadly Labour doesn’t seem to care if our girls get fair sport

🚨Breaking🚨 Last night, I put forward a motion at Barnet Council to introduce layers of safeguarding and a presumption against children in care being referred to the puberty blockers trial. Labour and Green councillors voted unanimously against it. Shameful. My motion 👇

Dear @NadiaWhittomeMP: You do not seem to understand: (1) the relationship between the law and the EHRC Code; (2) the fact that many workers are women; they have rights that are sex based; to the extent that you allow men to appropriate those rights, you promote sexism/misogyny.

Backbench MPs are seeking to roll back a court ruling they say will have "devastating consequences" for victims of crime by preventing them taking legal action against the police, even when there have been grave investigative failings. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6y4…

NHS Sussex and NHS England were formally warned Brighton trans doctor was out of control in 2020, documents show. Whistleblower alleges unknown number of children harmed as eventual investigation (which began in 2025) had limited scope. genderblog.net/nhs-knew-of-c…

Even if she was right about having the discussion, Woman's Hour has resolutely failed to do this. They failed to mention the public consultation on the GRA until the day before the deadline, leaving women uninformed until too late. They have uncritically called men women, whether trans-identified or males with DSDs, including in items about lesbian clubs, women's health and sport. They have either failed to cover 'gender critical' cases at all or they have on odd occasions provided a completely hostile environment for the interview. They have called listeners transphobes on X. They stopped featuring their interviews with 'GC' women on X, even if the subject was nothing to do with 'trans' (your own interviews about VAWG and your latest book being a case in point). Finally a couple of years ago they left X altogether, presumably because that's where most of the pushback was. None of this interview was in good faith - like Woman's Hour itself, it was just more gaslighting.

"Imagine telling your daughter, sister, wife or mother that if she objects to undressing in front of a man at work, she is the one who must leave. That was our reality.” Powerful full speech from President of the Darlington Nursing Union, Bethany Hutchison, at the 'When Reality Meets NHS Policy' Conservative Party conference fringe event

There is a painful irony in being on this panel in Israel on 8 October. On this day three years ago, I began to realise that the global feminist movement I had believed in would fall silent on the sexual violence committed by Hamas. Today, I am here because solidarity that abandons Jewish women is a betrayal of everything feminism claims to stand for.
