Hockey with a side order of political moaning! Also a lot of feminism and I’m definitely part of the wrong crowd.

This is a cuttlefish. It has made itself look like a shell but it still remains a cuttlefish *even though it looks like a shell*. It wants everyone to think it is a shell. But it’s still a cuttlefish.

A Scottish university has invited a convicted rapists’ supporters group onto campus. For the SECOND time. Yes, Abertay University thought it appropriate to give a platform to people who defend convicted serial rapists and child sex offenders. Let me explain. 🧵

Although the ‘Gay Ban’ on those serving in our armed forces was finally lifted in 2000, it took until 2023 for the Government to formally apologise to those affected. The Financial Recognition Scheme was rolled out in December 2024 and there have now been over 1,500 claims for financial and non-financial reparations. But time is running out. The scheme closes at midnight on the 12th of December. This is a one time offer and any applications received after this date will not be accepted. If you were affected in any way, make your application now: gov.uk/government/publicatio… Wendy is a veteran who served in the army and was dismissed for being a lesbian. She had this to say about the gay ban: “In 1982 at the age of eighteen, I signed up for 22 years’ service in the regular army. It was then the Women’s Royal Army Corps. I had hoped for a long and exciting career, but due to the ‘Gay Ban’ (which naively I did not know about on joining) I was soon being questioned about my sexuality and after just two years’ service I was ‘found out and thrown out.’ A career and a life of adventure ended. Although, luckily I went on to do many exciting things with my life. The nature of my dismissal however, had a profound effect on me. I have been able to achieve a small sense of justice with the non-financial restorative measures (a ceremony with an apology letter, an Etheron Pin and other items.) I was also successful in being awarded a ‘Dismissed and Discharged’ payment and an ‘Impact Award.’ It does not cover the years of lost income and career, but it has helped a little to get me settled in a new home. I would urge anyone who was dismissed/discharged against their will on the basis of their sexuality to make a claim. Also anyone who is Lesbian or Gay can claim for an Impact Award even if you were not dismissed but you were affected by The Ban whilst serving. It is of course re-living the trauma to fill in these forms, but hopefully you too will be successful and feel a little better in time.”

Re-listening to the 2023 reporting on RB I came across this. Under the proposed conversion therapy ban it is not inconceivable that the parent, by removing the phone, could have been reported to the police for "causing the individual not to have a sexual orientation". Thoughts?

So they say not all men but looking at the responses of men to women being drugged and raped (it’s not rape if they don’t know!) or to Brand (well she has sex with him so it isn’t rape) it does seem to be many many many men willing to justify rape.

You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls. You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it. I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin. I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech. Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

Dan Stillitz for the City of London just said in court that if the City has to provide the women and men's ponds as single sex ponds the likely upshot is that it won't provide separate sex ponds at all.
Replying to @tribunaltweets
must change it is likely that the Ponds will become fully mixed, and the LP will cease to exist. The Cs have said they don't have a preference but not true, look at letter before action. It says 'confirm the policy withdrawn', 'statement on line, will comply with FWS and operate

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.

I have seen quite a bit of Kerfuffle about this…however…..on reading the article I do not thinking that they are suggesting that males run in the female category. My reading is that they are proposing that male runners and pacemakers run at the same time as the women’s race in a bid to improve times.

Need help please! An independent bookseller in Bath have agreed to list Pat Carlen's and my book (quite a coup given that they also stock Grave Lavery and Susan Stryker) If 10 people can order it, I might be in with a chance of getting it stocked. The book is about my fight against OU. It is straight up GC and recounts feminist and lesbian lives in UK in 80s onwards. If you know someone near southwest / Bath, please get them to order the book. mrbsemporium.com/

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.

I've created a progress tracking App that let's you know what percentage of Palestine you have freed so far, by calling people C*nts on the internet and pretending to like Knee Cap.

New suicide figures have been published by @ONS: 5,738 suicides were registered for England in 2025. 75% were in men. 1 in 65 men die by suicide. And in the details: a politically sensitive concern, a small encouragement & an important point no media have mentioned. Short 🧵
