To celebrate the end of term but also as a spirit boost after so much awfulness from the adults in charge, I’m going to be posting quotes from my workshops to show that #TheKidsAreAlright
Keep an eye on my insta for daily(ish) boosts of goodness

The @fawcettsociety discuss all of the different ways the @LibDems are proposing policy designed to help all women, looking at policies that will target long standing inequality for lots of different groups of women.
TERFs - BUT WHY ARENT THEY BIGOTS LIKE US???
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
We spoke, they listened. We campaigned with our members and are changing the election debate.
Our full comment on the @LibDems manifesto below⬇️1/8

For authors, re: trigger and content warnings.
My middle kid and I were talking about content and “trigger” warnings in books. She said, from her perspective, if someone includes a trigger warning for something like suicide and self-harm, she can pretty much take for granted--

Every morning after I've had a programme on @BBCTwo my inbox gets delightfully full of messages from men who didn't like my lipstick. It makes me feel like it's 1922 and I'm being castigated by Captain Hastings for being 'fast'.

My favourite activity is watching a movie with a boy and then “ruining it” by pausing it every few mins to explain a sexist film trope 🤪

This is funny cuz a woman won the last & final gold medal in the mixed gender Skeet Shooting event at the 1992 Olympics.
I was often told that she was so good it made them cancel the mixed event. And even as a child I thought it had to be an exaggerated story, till one day: 1/
Childhood innocence is a luxury - RSE is vital for abused kids to understand what has happened and how to seek help. To deny those kids even the language to describe what has happened because it makes you uncomfortable your child will know the word vulva, is unconscionable

All the studies show that young people who don’t receive sex education are less likely to know they have experienced sexual violence, harassment or abuse. So you advocating for this is literally advocating for that.

Adding to all the messages of sadness & worry now that Vault is closed. We shared our first show #TALKPROPA at Vault in 2020 as new graduates, recieved the Cultivate Bursary to afford to do so (also closed...) & met loads of artists & venues who we're still working with now

It is a matter of historical fact that trans people were persecuted by the Nazi regime and saying otherwise is, as a Cologne court ruled in 2022, "a denial of Nazi crimes." cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Happy International Women’s Day. Be as obstinate and ruthless in your commitment to women’s dignity as misogynists are in their commitment to women’s subordination.

I can’t believe I’ve been woken up the for this, but here we go.
1. The historian Strabo (64BCE - 24 ACE) described operations on the clitoris
2. Galen (129-126 ACE) called the clitoris “the nymph” in his “on the usefulness of the parts of the body.”
3. Soranus of Ephesus (1st century ACE) also calls it a “nymph” and describes it as “hidden underneath the labia such as young brides hide under their veil.”
It is well known in ancient literature that the “clitoris” didn’t exist. What the “clitoris” is is an invention of modern feminism, which has been trying to give women their own “penis” and socially engineering them into believing they need to have a “clitoral orgasm”. All a lie.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clitoris does exist, and was described as early as 460 BCE by Greek physician Hippocrates. The clitoris also exists in a host of other animals, not just humans.

The contributors to "Feminism against Cisness" showcase the future of feminist historical, theoretical, & political thought freed from the conceptual strictures of cisness. #Philosophy #LGBTQStudies Read the free intro! ow.ly/YeMb50QIS8E
ALT Cover of Feminism Against Cisness edited Emma Heaney. White stars dot the top of the cover, contrasting the black background. A full, white moon hangs in the sky, and a dotted white line extends down diagonally to a white half-circle in the middle of the cover, which consists of blue waves. Below the waves, the cover depicts ten white spherical shapes connected by blue lines against a black background.

as someone who has actually done sex determination on skeletal remains… she’s absolutely right! Even if we have all aspects of a skeleton, we grade sex characteristics on a scale from Likely Feminine to Likely Masculine. with several points in-between! transphobes are stupid
Congratulations to all LGBT+ people in Greece! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
