I feel it's time for this wonderful theme tune to get another airing. I will be singing it on the way to work in the morning. youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0?si=3ksS…

🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me. The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated. Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.

WHAT A SHOCKER! Beth, now Lis, causing trouble in a hospital in NSW. Well said @salltweets ‘‘A doctor who refuses to acknowledge the reality of biological sex is putting themselves and their patients in a precarious position. If it is being done to validate the doctor’s own identity, it just makes the situation even more sinister.’ A hospital staff member said: ‘It should now be very clear why Dr Upton wanted to come to work in Australia. Our laws, as they stand, mean he is regarded as a woman here. mol.im/a/16235793

Please watch. While the Conversion Practices Bill is not initially going to cover Scotland, @Scotgov have indicated they wish to adopt this Bill. Excellent debate. Get informed and speak to your MPs & MSPs to tell them the faults in this Bill & Scotland does not want it

It was always a matter of time before the male Dr that Sandie Peggie had to confront in the female changing rooms repeated his behaviour. He's now in Aus ('Lis Upton'), a country that embraces self ID. A dangerous place for female patients. @Ahpra archive.is/MeiPI

Lord Forst is absolutely correct. Any articulation of the fact biological sex exists and “gender identity” is a faith concept would become a risky thing to say if the Conversion Practices bill becomes law.

Can any train nerds explain to me why trains arriving at Queen St that will turn round & go back Edinburgh, don't know which platform they are arriving at until 2 mins before they are due to leave? Is it just a way to keep everyone on edge & stop us getting complacent?

jkrowling.com/opinions/an-up… This is every bit as powerful and crystal clear as we would expect. Thank you, @jk_rowling , for everything you do for us. The women that favour gender ID over feminism will soon realise that you do it for them too, regardless. I could not love you more:

🚨 BREAKING: A male NHS nurse says he’s received four nominations for awards that celebrate women working in healthcare - including ‘Women’s Champion of the Year’. Jia Palis Amada said being “embraced as a woman” was already an award in itself. The awards are organised by emap - in association with Nursing Times. Helen Joyce of Sex Matters called the nominations “deeply insulting” to women. My latest for [Un]Captured. Link below 👇

Miller v Chief Constable @LincsPolice & @ukhomeoffice Nov 2026. High Court. Leeds I have a criminal record. For stalking. With hate markers. The victim is a former police officer, dismissed for Gross Misconduct. To clarify. This is an actual criminal record. I have a criminal record. And I was given it without being interviewed, informed, questioned, or charged; the CPS were not involved, and there was no magistrate, judge or jury. The Chief Constable just gave it to me because it is in his gift to do so. Because the Home Secretary says he can.

This is a really good example of how clear & understandable the EHRC Guidance is. Following it in a respectful, polite kind of way is exactly how it should be done. The only people complaining that the guidance is confusing are the ones outraged they have to follow the rules.
Not sure which part of the civil service but it looks like a manager somewhere is doing their job properly. Finally!

Many will remember the fiasco of screengate at my hearing. Why have activist complainants suddenly got the right to be treated as the most vulnerable victims? This makes a mockery of open justice.
Latest update. Hayden is about to give evidence. He’s allowed screens so we’ve all had to leave the public gallery while he comes in.

The #ConversionPracticesDraftBill has the potential to destroy any relationship between parents and school. Many schools have activist teachers pushing the ‘you may be born in the wrong body’ ‘it is possible to change sex’ mantra on children. #BinTheBill 1/4

Andrea Egan won her position after only 7% (SEVEN PER CENT) of eligible members voted. The position becomes vacant in 2031. If women want sensible, sane general secretaries leading their unions in future, we must start encouraging much greater voter participation
