Tidying up my pinned tweet. Improved version:
Why is it acceptable for men who choose to ID as women to demand space segregated from men, but not for women to demand space segregated from men?
As smarter women than me have noted: being “kind” & misusing words helps no one.
Ad execs are clearly fools with no female friends in their 70s, 80s or beyond. Alas their lack of contacts and curiosity afflicts us all.
They ignore some of the best & most interesting women alive.

Honesty and accuracy are lacking in the reporting by BBC Wales. They know this is a man yet they obfuscate.
Their readership deserves better.
This is a man.
The person in the photograph looks like a man.
Yet the first sentence of this BBC Wales story says he altered a date on “her” passport.
The next sentence introduces “Katie Wallis, who uses female pronouns and was formerly known as Jamie Wallis”.
Katie is typically a female name. Jamie can be either a male or a female name. Neither tells readers his sex.
“Uses female pronouns” explains the BBC’s choice of language. It doesn’t tell readers that Wallis is male.
Why should readers have to perform mental gymnastics to establish a basic fact about the person being reported on?
Journalism should put accuracy and clarity before ideology.

Having A Guard Dog And Barking Yourself
During my years as a full-time union official, latterly as Head of Local Government for Unison Scotland, I never once heard of a member having to put a complaint into legal language before their case could be taken to tribunal

I'm being mercilessly throttled by @X yet again but would love this image of support for the brilliant @MForstater and the @SexMattersOrg squad be at least seen by a few eyes. Don't like to ask, but if anyone who can actually see it could help its visibility with a repost or quote thingy, that'd be wonderful.
Ta. TT.

Ozanne sought out “well-meaning, well-intentioned” people who were "full of love" to pray for her to not be a lesbian. She paid exorcists & therapists. The #ConversionBill she supports would criminalise them all. Bizarre lack of responsibility for her own autonomous decisions.
Sir Jeremy Wright KC asks Jayne Ozanne what difference the legislation would have made to her.
Jayne says the criminal offence will target large organisations and repeated conduct. "We can step in and warn against" parents being prosecuted".
Says she hopes it puts the fear into untrained, well meaning, well intentioned, people who are full of love.

If your child doesn’t believe a fellow school pupil is a cat, then they may be criminalised. That’s what an utter debacle this Bill is.
The report ‘Not What It Says On The Tin’ by Akua Reindorf KC and Baroness Kishwer Falkner has blown the lid off the Conversion Practices Bill. Line by line, it is taken apart legally.
We agree - it is indeed “ideological, authoritarian, unworkable and wholly unsuitable”.

Prospect Union betrays women for ideology.
Yes, you read that right, a union whose core business is STEM is valuing notions of 'gender' over the reality of sex.
When a scientific union trades empirical evidence for ideological capture, its female members pay the price. Read more in our latest blog.

1/ Akua Reindorf KC and former EHRC chair Baroness Falkner (ARKC & BF) have just, frankly, shredded the draft conversion bill with a particular focus on what a poor quality piece of law it is.
Full report at the link, I'll summarise as best I can here:

Does ‘women only’ actually mean ‘women only’?
Or does it mean ‘anyone who fancies calling themself a woman today?’
The High Court is hearing an application by @SexMattersOrg to test the legality of the signs displayed by the City of London. We await the outcome with interest.
And what a great picture!

Taxpayers foot £6.5m bill as trans breast removal surgeries soar.
NHS performed 1,115 of operations in 2024-25, a 52pc rise on two years earlier
The number of women having their breasts removed on the NHS because they identify as trans men is surging, figures show.

I am absolutely sickened by the horrendous comments directed at this heroic young woman who did her duty to the very end.
She wasn’t even the Pilot in Command (PIC). Her job at that time was handling all the comms. The male pilot at the controls had already realized the graveness of the situation and had started praying as there was nothing either of them could do to save the aircraft.
Do not listen to the cockpit audio of her last minutes, please. It should not even have been made public.
Nathalia Filgueiras did her duty under the absolute worst of circumstances. She relayed factual information right up until impact while shoulder-rolling at 60° bank at 600 MPH. The information will be invaluable in the investigation.
Even as she knew her short but amazing 20 years of life were about to end, she devoted those last seconds to saving future lives by providing critical information to ground control that will inevitably save lives in the future by preventing these types of crashes. The very definition of Heroism. At only 20 years old. 😭💔🕯️
Please keep her, her family and the other crash victims in your prayers. 💔😭😢🙏

Before we can have reconciliation we must have truth, @stonewalluk, not disingenuity

I think this is a genius thing, and especially useful now. @DogsTrust have added a Sound Blanket to their website (link below), developed in collaboration with @SalfordUni. It uses acoustic science to mask the bangs of #fireworks and may calm dogs down. dogstrust.org.uk/dog-advice/…

So, Baroness Hunt, Stonewall did far more wrong than merely "trust the experts". It, and you personally, are deeply implicated in a medical scandal that has destroyed many vulnerable children's lives. You're not going to get away with rewriting history. Not this time 8/8

The government was warned this would happen. It makes a nonsense of its claims about taking MVAWG seriously.

Trans Day of Remembrance is this month.
This is a chance to remember those who have been murdered worldwide due to Transphobia in the last year.
I've looked at all reports on tdor.translivesmatter.info/ from 01/11/25 - 31/10/26
