I have also written personally to @Amnesty. I am directly connected to 4 of their listed groups and have supported at least 3 more. I am already being ‘cancelled’. I don’t need their libellous statements making matters worse.

A masterclass in considering an issue from single point of view. Never mind the women and children impacted daily by the behaviour of fetishistic men in pursuit of their next moment of ‘euphoria’.
Bumped into a trans woman today at the grocery store. She smiled and said hi. I smiled and said hi back. Nothing happened. I didn’t become trans myself, It’s like there were Just two people living their lives normally If that bothers you then, you’re an asshole.

As someone who spent yrs safeguarding chn, I am upset to see feminists on X who seem to not understand that EVERYONE has a duty to report someone they suspect of being a paedophile. As the saying goes ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ I shouldn’t need to say this. I am done

Speaking on the stage of a venue whose director has made it perfectly clear to me they will *never* allow me to hire again, despite my having sold it out several times for both my own shows and others I programmed, our former First Minister dares talks about 'cancel culture'. Which *she* has been part of creating. Fun.

Yesterday my son sat through a class where his teacher told him some people were born in the wrong body so they were the opposite sex or had no sex at all. I wasn’t informed this was part of the school curriculum (although I know it is). In the recent past parents were required to give permission for an adult, often outsourced non teaching staff, to speak to minor children about adult concepts like sexuality and gender identity. This is no longer the case. It is now up to us parents to know what our kids are being taught and by whom. Often kids are scared to tell because they know their parents, or any other reasonable adult, would be horrified and they are afraid of their parent making a scene. We need to reassure those kids that won’t happen so they don’t carry any confusion or anxiety they might be feeling about what they were being taught.

Just in case anyone still thinks speaking out against gender ideology and its violent activists has no consequences.

Forgot to tweet out my (lengthy) report on the final day of Peggie v RCN. Subscribers got this via email last night. There was so much I had to leave out (there was an entire day of submissions from both parties), but hopefully this gives you a flavour: genderblog.net/peggie-v-rcn-…

Speaking as the elderly mother of three youngsters, who hasn’t had a sex change and knows many homosexuals, it is my able-bodied and sexually-preferred opinion that the Greens are turning into total nutters.

The draft Conversion Practices Bill would silence therapists, harm children and divide families. That is the warning of our new report, which is based on 30 in-depth interviews with mental-health professionals. Read it here: sex-matters.org/posts/update…

You invited ten people to this 'roundtable' @oliviabaileymp Seven of the ten are men (three of whom are pretending to be women). That's 70% male. In what way is that balanced? Only three of the group are women. At least 30% of the group identify as "trans". In what universe do people who identify as trans constitute 30% of the population? If you want to tackle issues fairly, make sure you have an equal number of ACTUAL WOMEN in the room.

It is the most despicable betrayal of women's rights this century to support an end to our definition in life and in law.
"(in secure zone)". Unlike where women have spent the last few years.

Sadly, in these weird times, you do learn who are your friends, who are have been hanger-ons and who actually, are real enemies. What a time to be an artist.

Those calling for the Equality Act to be amended to protect the rights, privacy and inclusion of trans people need to set out in full what they are actually seeking to change. (1/2)
EXCL: Union activists will push Andy Burnham to rewrite the Equality Act in order to support trans rights One trade union boss said the “only way to get out of” abiding by new guidelines on single-sex spaces was to ensure that the text of equality laws was changed Nadia Whittome, Labour MP, said she was in talks with “trans-led organisations” on how to campaign for overhauling the Equality Act 2010 She told an event on the fringes of the TUC: “What we need is a change in the law so that the law properly protects the rights, privacy, and inclusion of trans people. “That means amending the Equality Act as well as other pieces of legislation"

If you’re doing the Great North Run tomorrow, do be aware there are no dedicated women’s toilets in the start area. According to guidance emailed to runners yesterday, men’s urinals will be provided in two areas. Women get holes in the ground to squat over - in one area - which can also be used by men. PEEQUAL open-air squat urinals are apparently “designed for women, trans women, AFAB and non-binary runners.” So men get dedicated men’s urinals. The 'women's urinals' can be used by both men and women. As the video shows, these so-called “women’s urinals” involve squatting over an open-air unit, with used sanitary products disposed of in a bag hanging from the side. Apparently PEEQUAL has proved popular at music festivals. But this isn’t Glastonbury. It’s a major running event involving thousands of women, of all ages - some of whom will be menstruating, changing sanitary protection or simply wanting privacy before a half marathon. Were any women consulted about this? Were they asked whether they were comfortable having no dedicated female-only toilet provision, while men were given their own urinals? #GreatNorthRun2026

Only amongst the desperately unhinged. You know: making 'kindness' and 'rights' equatable with denying reality and erasing women's rights, language, and freedoms, really wasn't the only option. People tend to get fed up of being forced to lie - and egregiously punished for refusing to - eventually.
The Proclaimers have sparked backlash after making a series of anti-trans comments

If this is what drag has become, then drag needs to go. This isn’t art. It’s not humor. It is the dehumanization of women and women’s bodies, and it is no better than pornography. #NoMoreDrag

Our entire safeguarding culture has been destroyed by gender ideology.
🚨(1) BREAKING: An NHS Trust is facing legal action after allowing bearded male patients who identify as women to be admitted to female psychiatric wards and use women’s showers and toilets. A senior doctor says vulnerable women continue to be put at risk. The claimant, anonymised as “Dr A”, is a consultant psychiatrist represented by the Christian Legal Centre. She alleges that the Trust dismissed repeated warnings about the privacy, dignity and safety of female psychiatric patients, including survivors of sexual violence.

This POS worked in childcare. So while there is a national discussion of whether men should be allowed to work in childcare, just remember that they have the loophole of claiming to be a woman at their disposal, and if they do that the government & AHRC will validate the claim.

This is a teacher in a UK school He is ignoring legislation & statutory guidance on child safeguarding to feed his need for validation from children If the children, or their parents, don’t validate he can claim alarm & distress & they could face 5 years in prison #BinTheBill

Having read the Equality Impact Assessment on the Conversion Practices Draft Bill it is clear there was no actual assessment Only voices supporting the bill were included The government is basing criminal law on bias & disinformation #BinTheBill #DontCriminaliseConversations
