And Dr Jane Clare Jones in Hansard!

I had tears in my eyes listening to this.

I'm punching the ceiling, saying: "Fantastic!"

I am about to paste this on Twitter (having had no joy with my referral I will have to remove my perfectly correct but rude Tweet)

Interesting that Baroness Emma Nicholson also made the point about the erasure of the word woman in that debate, but because she is a Conservative peer and a woman no one is applauding her. Women’s voices are still ignored. DOI - never voted Conservative in my life.

We are praising her on Twitter

Yes but the comment was “someone has said it on a national stage”. Women’s voices don’t count as much as men’s voices.

sorry I didn't realise that there were some other brilliant speeches by women today. I'll be posting them up soon!

Please! Always good to hear some common sense plain speaking.

It wasn’t a comment re you really, just a response to my left wing friends who don’t think SBR advocates should talk to right wing politicians or supporters. It’s the same when women say that they don’t think men can be feminists so they don’t interact with anyone who isn’t woman.

I wonder if this lovely gentleman would mind having a word with the Democrats here in the U.S.

And his Labor counterparts in Australia too. (The ALP is currently captured by the "be kind, it's the new gay rights" narrative, though when the MPs speak on other issues it's clear they know what women are.)

I wrote to Lord Hunt.

#LordPhilipHunt got himself a new follower in me the day, it was perfect 👌🏼

This has probably already been pointed out, but chest feeders isn't even inclusive. I don't understand it's origin. I couldn't breast feed, so neither apply to me but I promise I did feed my baby. Maybe I was just a Milk Provider.

I assume it's for transman who don't like the word breast? Because natal men can get breast cancer.

It's just so bloody knee jerk and illogical.

Great speech. Absolutely hit the nail on the head. I hope it resonates.

Keep going. The misogynists are not going away. Don't let your guard down and keep pressing particularly MPs who don't know about Stonewall's Diversity Schemes for adults and children, and the general pervasive lobbying by Soros' Open Society Foundation, the US multi-billionaires like James/Jennifer Pritzker and Martin/Martine Rothbladt. Basically the "gas-lighters" IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Would you recommend this way rather than a card in the post or regular email?

Thanks! I like cards because everyone can see them and know they are demonstrations of support.

Done 👍

Great, thank you, have sent him a message of thanks

I messaged him. . . on the 22nd. To say thank you. And he's already emailed me back and thanked me for my kind words of support and said it was a start, but there's was still more to do. What a proper gent! And refreshing to get a reply - and so quickly. He's clearly on a mission. And no doubt wading through an inbox of good and bad. But I hope mostly good.
