80-90% of the young patients at the Tavistock were same sex attracted
The misleadingly named "conversion ban" will make it a crime to say to a teenager "I think you are gay and I want you to grow up accepting your body, I do not think you are the opposite sex"
This is bad law

Does anyone know the reason why successive governments refer to Male Violence Against Women & Girls (#MVAWG) as the mysterious and untethered-from-reality ‘Violence Against Women & Girls’ (#VAWG)?

The parliamentary committee on the draft Conversion Practices Bill has issued its call for evidence.
Read our briefing on who is at risk from criminalisation by this legislation and start thinking about responding.

Anyone making money from the pornification of girls’ school uniform should be subject to serious sanctions
These girls are right. It shouldn’t be up to them to fight this, but I support them in doing so
We’re teenage girls fighting to ban the use of school uniform in porn. Why have you left it up to us?
No one should have to feel nervous about walking to school in clothes designed for children. It’s time for law to end the sexualisation of minors

If I’m on a panel I find out who else is. Not to police them or their views but to be sure that it’s not a ‘manel’ (unless it’s something exclusively about the subjective experience of being a man)
In this case, it looks like no one asked anyone anything. Absurd 😞
I know this pic has been posted by others already, but... what on earth @RCPhysicians ?! 😱

New #Spycops documentary on former Tory councillor Andy Coles. In early 90s he was a married 32 year old cop infiltrating animal rights campaigns when he exploited ‘Jessica’, then a teenage activist, for sex and cover. His actions were an abuse of power.

Great opportunity for any feminist lawyers out there - please share
A landmark new legal advice service for survivors of rape and sexual assault is launching in 2027 — and we’re recruiting civil and criminal lawyers to help build it.

The police have identified DA as a critical threat, contributing to 65% of VAWG offences.
But despite this, it is still not being treated as a national priority.
As policing undergoes its biggest reforms in decades, DA must be central to that agenda. ⬇️

You can’t be a good dad and an abusive partner.
Dr Emma Katz is clear: the problem is the abuser. Coercive control harms children psychologically even when no one is hit. Impacts continue after separation. “Bad partner, good dad” is an outdated myth.
Courts and social workers still force contact while children come home distressed. Research shows the most common outcome when contact stops is children ending up happy and safe.
This is the system failure I write about.

The ratio of male : female teachers*, aggregated across England, Scotland & Wales is approximately:
Primary 15% M : 85% F
Secondary 35% M : 65% F
(teachers* - not support staff)
Do u think govt/s should strive for 50/50 M/F in schools or be laissez-faire about the imbalance?
42%Strive for 50/50
57%Be laissez-faire about it

This is a woefully bad Bill, dressed up as something good, and pushed by MPs who have no clue.
Thankfully, vile gay conversion has been illegal for many years.
But attempts to define 'being yourself' to a child who is gender confused?! Experts in the complex psychology of this like @marcuse99903226 and @JamesEsses, legal experts like @akuareindorf and @Jebadoo2 explain over and over why this Bill will cause harm and homophobia. As @AllianceLGB warn, it's about 'transing away the gay' 💔
“A society which values freedom must protect everyone’s right to live openly and safely as themselves.”

Isn’t it lovely to see nice people saying nice things about one’s deceased mother?
Being in the correct ward according to one’s biological sex is important for an individuals healthcare.
I know I’m not wrong, but STFU about my mum.
Cheers you lovely lot x

I welcome NHS England’s guidance protecting single sex wards and facilities based on biological sex. Women’s privacy and safety matter, alongside dignity and care for every patient. 👇🏽
The NHS has published single-sex guidance for staff and patients.
Read the guidance on NHS staff facilities here ➡️ england.nhs.uk/publication/g…
Read the guidance on hospital accommodation for patients here ➡️ england.nhs.uk/publication/p…
ALT Copy reads: 'Single-sex guidance published for staff and patients'. NHS logo appears in the top right corner.

As an atheist, I’m concerned by ‘blasphemy’ being criminalised
Do you support:
A) a blanket rule that *all and any* religious / metaphysical belief is uncriticisable
B) a blanket rule that *no* religious / metaphysical belief is uncriticisable
C) a pick ‘n mix approach

Screenshot is BBC Radio 4's premier film programme. I love it.
At 7.30pm on Fridays, each week Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode guide us through the expanding universe of the moving image, revealing fascinating links and hidden gems from cinema and TV to streaming and beyond. There is a giant library of the Screenshot archives to feast on.
This week on Friday, Screenshot delves into the ubiquity of young people in care (someone fostered, adopted, or in a children's home) on screen, from Oliver Twist to the X-Men, Harry Potter to James Bond.
I am really looking forward to it. I want to hear your opinions too. Please let me know. I will send out a reminder on the day.

Is it possible that the language / framing we choose contains the seeds of the failure of achieving our stated aims?
Is it possible that we cld approach issues of negative socialisation and cooption of boys/young men without factional jargon?
I think so
