Nancy Kelly lied on Women’s Hour
An FOI shows #Stonewall in #NorthernIreland got the NI Civil Service to remove the words 'mother' and 'woman' from their maternity policies. @StephenNolan you covered this re Scotland; now it's here too. Doc 5 in FOI reply:
Man crows about women being expelled from party
They expelled Emma Bateman because she spoke for women’s rights at Speaker’s Corner.
Finally, the Green Party taking some action against transphobia!
And yes Emma, what you've been saying is transphobic and against the code of conduct. You can't say "it isn't transphobic to say *really transphobic thing*" to make it not completely bigoted against trans people.

Introducing every Mermaids parent and employee
Holy shit
At the request of Trudeau, @gofundme has just stolen $9,000,000 from the truckers. Rather than automatically refunding it to the donors, they say they’re going to give it to groups of their own choosing. What a windfall for Black Lives Matter, Greenpeace and Planned Parenthood!
The butcher’s bill for this is coming
She had a hysterectomy, now really wants kids. Has no ovaries. Had a double mastectomy. Can’t hold a relationship.
Why did she do this? She was molested by her father as a child, and transitioning was an escape.
Gender doctors just affirmed her, and now she’s harmed for life.
Turns off replies so he can abuse women in peace
The terfs and their allies are really piling into this thread with their usual stuff about “balancing rights” and “legitimate concerns”. It’s pretty sickening that this kind of nonsense has become normalised, and *only* in the UK. Madness.

Would very much like to know the name of this school
If anyone knows please get in touch. Anonymity guaranteed.
A UK school is running a 'pronoun day' later this year, one of its teachers has revealed, in which children will be wearing stickers announcing their pronouns
Get em, JK
Someone at Twitter went out of their way to make this happen by mayking the name JK Rowling trend in books, then present anyone who clicked on the trending name this image. I hope Rowling sues.
Hadley Freeman being brilliant
“Young people want to have a civil rights fight of their own”.
@HadleyFreeman explains that gender ideology is a "great way" for younger women to tell their mums off. Don't miss 👇

Arrr! Be ye solo poly?
A rough life awaits ye on the open seas, arrrr!
Look at the language used here.
To the average person, it makes zero sense.
Queer concepts can only be explained in a language nobody uses but them. And even then, it’s so vague that everyone just nods along without understanding it.
On Stella Creasy’s slimy dishonesty
Enough. I've tried to debate with the differing perspectives, but this is just vile stuff now and proves the point about heat not light. Thank you to those who have tried to have a reasonable discussion but hope you can understand how draining this kind of stuff is to receive. https://t.co/gZaCaxkIn2
Whenever people declare there needs to be "less heat, more light" in debates on sex and gender I think of JK Rowling's very carefully worded essay and the response she got. How much more "light" are women meant to offer? I suspect the only acceptable "light" is total silence.
A pattern is emerging amongst Labour MPs in particular, regarding the debate on women's rights:
1 Ignore ALL the light shed on the issue by women with evidence.
2 Generate heat by bad faith responses.
3 Complain there is 'more heat than light'.
It's beginning to sound scripted.
This whole thread is worth reading
On the recent “women are actually bots” shite from publications that should know better.
Head of Product at @LogicallyAI. This is not how I would have responded.
Logically, you have serious issues in your workplace. Your employees are literally proving to us why we need to #KeepPrisonsSingleSex while simultaneously dehumanising us.
Did you see this @PrivateEyeNews?
Joel Mercer @joeldavidmercer
Trans ideology normalises the behaviour of creeps
As always with ‘respectable’ TRAs, the question is: Evil or just stupid?
Remember this kind of response is an objection to the EHRC 1) listening to leasbians and 2) asking that terms like ‘trans’ and ‘gender identity’ be defined. Adam calls this a ‘volte face’.
Thank you Hadley Freeman for continuing to maintain your integrity and standing up for truth, reason and common sense in this continuing Orwellian nightmare. (Hadley is also one of my favourite wriers as all her articles have such a spark of vitality).
I see that in the new (UK) online safety bill - as per Times report today:
Offences have also been added that social media firms will need to act on more quickly to remove, rather than waiting for them to be reported. These includes selling illegal drugs or weapons, sharing of revenge porn, posts advertising people smuggling, committing hate crimes and fraud.
"Committing hate crimes". So, as already happens, in fact? With Twitter etc deciding what "hate crimes" means?
