I am one of those 6, now all ex-trustees. I had my accreditation as a breastfeeding counsellor taken from me for 'disparaging LLL' and talking to the press ^. I would be delighted to talk to @BBCWomansHour about the different ways supporting male lactation is a problem.

Surreal moment at Amy Hamm’s hearing today:
Amy’s lawyer, Lisa Bildy, was referring to the legal judgement (which uses ideological language and does not consider women’s sex-based rights), and she made a statement expressing the expectation that public bodies are supposed to be neutral— to which the judge ASKED FOR CASE LAW —-to back up the concept that public bodies should be neutral.
When did the concept of non-biased organizations need case law to back it up?
Isn’t lady justice supposed to be blind and fairly consider all sides?
Is objectivity no longer a fundamental Canadian value?

Barbara Findlay: I request you use accurate language and not use "trans identified male" when referring to trans women.
Amy Hamm: I am using the most accurate language.
Barbara Findlay: I want the panel to rule that she can't refer to trans women as men. 1/3

These men actually think reclaim the night is a commercial enterprise to be owned instead of a grass roots march, my grandmother marched in the very first one in 77 and she’d be horrified (but sadly not surprised) to see the abuse hurled by men in dresses towards peaceful women!

We rest our case. Drop it @andyburnham - before you are landed with an awful lot of mess to clear up. #BinTheBill

Our event was lawful and peaceful. Women have a right to walk the streets without fear of threats of male abuse or violence.
A mob turned up to abuse us & face off with the police.
Men can call #ReclaimTheNight "far right", that doesn't make it true.

In each photo, one children's writer and one author of a book about teaching. One set were called child abusers and drummed out of publishing. The others were feted and given millions of pounds. Which is which? @RooneyRach
We were not a "female-only" march, we were a female-only march. We were from 18 to 83 in age; straight, bisexual & lesbian; from across the political spectrum; first-time marchers & veterans; survivors of sexual assault & domestic abuse.
What we had in common: we were all women.
We've asked police for a response on this but they've not got back to us yet. Did anyone take part in either of these events? nottinghampost.com/news/nott…

To the women who came before us, who built the women's refuges and women's centres from dirt that we take for granted today we salute you.
Thank you XX
And to the women destroying them today by letting men in #ShameOnYou

Yes is yes, no is no!
Consent is given. It is not transferable.
A message worth singing, a message worth repeating.

Pornography in every man's hand. Our speaker talks about the impact on women and girls.
This is part of the conversation about violence against women and girls that we cannot afford to ignore.

And then came the singing!
A spontaneous moment as women relaxed and found their voices after the men and their female supporters who had been harassing and intimidating us had moved on.
This is what Reclaiming the Night looks & sounds like.

Cynthia, a domestic abuse survivor and women's aid campaigner, speaks from experience.
She also raises serious questions about Nottingham Women's Centre and its decision to include men in activities despite its stated women-only charitable objectives.
Women deserve answers.

Most violence against women is not by strangers but a male we know.
But that doesn't mean women should have to live in fear in public.
Our streets must be safe.
For every woman. Every girl. Every night.

All human beings are born from women.
A simple biological reality, and one worth celebrating.
We are women. We stand together.

Excellent speeches. These warrior women show that after the violence, intimidation and harassment from the protest organised by the Revolutionary Communist Group they kept calm and carried on!!!

Nottingham 7/11/26 women made history.
The first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the city for over a decade.
We are local women & this was our grassroots effort.
These are our voices.

Reclaim the Night began in Leeds in 1977.
We must never forget the women who came before us.
Listen to The Forgotten Victims by @LauraRichards99 and @thecrimeanalyst
We must remember.

The deadline for telling the parliamentary committee what you think of the draft Conversion Practices Bill is NEXT MONDAY. You can put in a useful response in under half an hour. Don't let the government decide to criminalise ordinary family conversations without having your say! nitter.gq/SexMattersOrg/status/2…
⏰ Only 7 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee.
The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting.
Tell it to think again ⬇️
