Women and girls are being put at risk of sexual crimes every time they try on clothes in high street retailers that only provide mixed-sex changing rooms.
🚩 Allowing males access to women and girls in a state of undress is a safeguarding failure. The majority of high street stores have now moved to mixed-sex changing rooms. Stores that do have separate women’s and men’s changing rooms often allow males into the women’s facilities. 🚩
Every single one of the sex crimes listed in this thread could have been prevented if high street retailers recognised that they have a duty of care to look after their customers.

This apology from disability charity Scope, for cancelling my choir’s London Marathon performance because of my gender-critical views, is required to stay on its website for seven days.
Today is Day 6.
Women don’t always get the apologies they deserve. So I’d be grateful if you could help make sure this one is seen by sharing it over the next 24 hours (link below). 🙏
Thanks again to @SpeechUnion for supporting my legal case and helping secure this apology.

Brilliant news for free speech - and for women. 🎉
Scope has publicly apologised for cancelling my choir’s London Marathon performance over my gender-critical views, acknowledging its decision was wrong.
Our legal dispute is now resolved. No apology can undo the upset caused, but I hope this gives more women confidence to speak up - and makes others think twice before cancelling people for speaking about biological reality.
I tried to resolve this privately before going public or consulting lawyers. The brilliant @MForstater helped me draft a letter to Scope ahead of the marathon, hoping we could clear things up. Unfortunately, Scope stood by its decision at that stage.
I’m so grateful to the @SpeechUnion, my solicitors Sharpe Pritchard, the fellow singers who stood beside me and members of @womensrightsnet for their support.
Sadly, I fear some singers may feel too nervous to return to the choir. But I hope other women will feel emboldened by this news.
Women should be able to speak about biological sex, their sex-based rights and the language used to describe their bodies - without fear of cancellation or other negative consequences.

➡️So urgent police are to find this dangerous man, they release a grainy image TWO YEARS AFTER the attack.
A 19YO woman was raped in a house on Prince's Road, Teddington, South London on 21/10/24.
Police ask if you've seen him - contact them immediately.
This is the UK 🇬🇧 - where there's entire teams of Police dedicated to hurty words online - but catching horrific rapists just isn't their priority.

EHRC Chair:"Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes the rights of trans people. We must also recognise the distress of women unable to access single-sex facilities.”

One hundred years of Marks & Spencer. Britain’s favourite high street store is showing its designs on the catwalk at London Fashion Week.
The clothes may be popular but the decision to install mixed-sex changing rooms in its stores is not. Women all over the country have told us of their concerns that the women’s fitting rooms are no longer single-sex. Women taking their daughters for their first bra, or for a suitable post-mastectomy bra, or who just don’t want to be in the presence of a male while they’re getting undressed are being failed by M&S.
We wrote to M&S chairman Archie Norman with our concerns and we’re still waiting for a reply… Mr Norman did reply to a letter from @Baroness_Nichol with assurances that women-only changing would be provided in the womenswear department. There’s been no action on that promise.
Our campaign for single-sex changing rooms continues.
The safest changing room is a single-sex changing room.

WRN would of course be pleased to take part and assist in this iniative 👇@bphillipsonMP - if we were asked.
However, if you want to actually tackle misogyny, you need to be clear on your terms. This affects women. And women are adult human females.
The first harmful attitude the Government need to look at is that held by many of their own party. They think that men can be women. And many of them are desperate to ensure men still get into women’s spaces and services.
Tackle that.

This photo of Ashrafi’s wife is harrowing. She has been utterly dehumanised by the niqab. We don't even know her name. The Church apparently didn't think to ask.
In this country it is unacceptable for ANY woman to be pressured or coerced into wearing such oppressive garments - yet too many are robbed of that choice by controlling family members and their own communities. Rather than looking so relaxed and at ease, the Archbishop should have been calling out this symbol of oppression which had been brought into her own home - and it is deeply disappointing that she did not do so.
We all know from our day to day lives that to form any kind of human connection - be it momentary or long lasting - we must be able to see each other's faces. That is a basic requirement of a functioning society. The niqab precludes that.

Letter in @MorningStar asking why no one, not one single person had the guts to speak against motion 17 at the TUC Conference. A motion that commits Unions to campaign against the Equality Act and for gender Self ID. Are you a member of a Trade Union? Do you agree with Motion 17?

I’m not Islamophobic. It’s perfectly rational for any woman to oppose a way of thinking that casts her as inferior by birth. Furthermore, it is the moral duty of every human being to oppose any religion that promotes child marriage, celebrates and perpetrates attacks on members of other faiths, executes apostates, legalizes the domestic abuse of women and girls, allows female genital mutilation as a way of controlling women sexually, and encourages men to see female bodies as their just reward for religious devotion.

Ideological capture in the NHS is a safeguarding disaster for women and girls. Just what are NHS bosses waiting for?
Listen as Heather discusses with @PatrickChristys on @GBNEWS, the men on women's psychiatric wards indecently exposing themselves, and the woman who was raped on a man's ward.

The SNP brought a motion about “fear and division.”
Then @MandyLindsayMSP said the quiet part out loud: this government still will not defend sex-based rights and has the brass neck to lecture the country about prejudice.
You spent years fighting women in court. You still cannot say what a woman is. And now you want applause for “inclusion.”
Fear and division didn’t arrive from women stating biological reality. It arrived from a government that treated that reality as hate.
I relished this opportunity as @ReformUKScot's Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. Today's motion asked us to reject those who create fear & division. It is this SNP Scottish Government that still refuses to defend sex-based rights then lectures the country about prejudice.

Some WRN members were at the Old Bailey in London drawing attention to the fact there are STILL men in women’s prisons. This is totally unacceptable and outrageous.
The risk to women prisoners was not adequately considered when this unsafe policy was introduced. Putting men in with them when they cannot escape and are penalised for questioning is cruel and unusual. It is also not in line with U.K. law. A women’s prison should house only women prisoners.
