These Words Belong To Us

The Countess, our feminist sisters in Ireland, are launching a brilliant campaign to defend the language sacred to women.

The Countess @TheCountessIE

We are launching a campaign to defend the words “girl”, “woman”, “female” and “mother” from the march of what they term ‘inclusivity’ but which in fact, alienates and excludes 50% of the population, women. #TheseWordsBelongToUs Watch our video & share

Sajid Javid @sajidjavid

Thank you for this report. I’m deeply concerned about the approach to gender identity services for children. The independent review by Dr Hilary Cass could not be more important. https://t.co/GhH3jN3ep4

Genspect’s New Initiative

Genspect has launched an excellent new initiative, Beyond Transition, “To meet the specific needs of detransitioners, as well as those who are in a more uncertain space”.

Genspect @genspect

When we started a year ago, 18th June 2021, we didn't expect to be asked to provide support for detransitioners & people 'lost in transition'. To answer this call, we are using the money we raised from our Detrans Awareness Day webinar to help

genspect.orgBeyond Transition - Genspect“Beyond Transition” is a project that aims to serve detransitioners, desisters, and trans people who are ambivalent or even regretful about transition.

Among the vital resources it will offer are subsidised therapy sessions, free therapeutic support groups and free professional development services.

The Telegraph reported on a survey by More in Common which demonstrates that ‘gender critical’ views are held by most of the population.

@GinaDavidson @ginadavidsonlbc

@LBC @LBCNews @sharrond62 @mara_yamauchi @ScotParl @SP_EHRCJ @BrianWhittle I asked Sharron Davies why she was speaking in a hotel and not the parliament?

Keep up the amazing work, sisters! It seems to be working…

Stay In Your Lane

Swimming’s world governing body, FINA, has voted to prevent trans-identified males from competing in women’s elite races.

BBC Sport @BBCSport

Fina has voted to prevent transgender athletes competing in women's elite races if they have gone through any part of the process of male puberty.

FINA will prevent anyone who has gone through male puberty from competing in women’s swimming at an elite level. It also plans to establish an 'open' category at for trans-identifying competitors. THAT is how you do inclusivity and fairness.

Another Domino Falls

The Department for Work and Pensions has become the latest government office to leave the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme.
