This woman is dangerous

Anyone dumb enough to cite the American invention of the ‘trans child’ needs to be kept away from all levers of power. Really frightening how gung-ho some people are about sterilising children.

Kieran Aldred @thekieranaldred

2/7 Shad Equalities Minister @charlotte2153 says fears #BanConversionTherapy won't be comprehensive, and Labour will scrutinise Bill closely. @angelaeagle, who moved the debate, says there must be no exemptions for religion or trans children. @UKLabour @BanCTorg @stonewalluk

In-fucking-deed

Allison Bailey thought she had been paid a visit by trans rights acticvists. She now believes it was just her neighbours’ kids messing around, but look who waded in on the subject, the man who called the police because he saw a ribbon.

(Thanks for the spot, Phoebe!)

Gender ideology: a gold rush for shysters

Teaching nonsense to suckers sure buys a nice straw hat.

Margaret Middleton @magmidd

As a designer who consults with museums on gender inclusive practice, I am often asked about signage and icons. Here are some of my top recs for easy swaps you can make for a more gender inclusive visitor experience:

His best yet

He’s the best at what he does. The one and only @FrancisAaronUK has released a new video about the child abuse of ‘gender affirmation.’

This has been the tactic for years now

It’s incredible to see it play out on such a big stage. Surely people will start to notice now.

Clown world

These people are so dumb and people are paying them to advise on signage.

This is on you, Laurie Penny

…and all the other cheerleaders of this shitty fad.

Lorelei 🌕🧙‍♀️🕸🍄 @hatpinwoman

An incredibly strong young woman posting about detransitioning You can feel her pain about losing her singing voice. She’s going to help a lot of other people by explaining how the idea of woman as femininity, &misogyny,impacted her transition I hope she gets so much support

GLAAD. A story in screengrabs

Doh!

Doh! GLAAD can’t be sending heart emojis to detransitioners! They don’t exist! Or something!

More bravery

If you’re Canada’s arsehole blackface-wearing PM, you don’t even have to answer a woman asking why male sex offenders are being placed in women’s prisons.

Ben Murphy @VOCMBen

One woman, who is not a member of the media, took it into her own hands to ask the PM about sexual assaults in prisons. Didn’t catch the first part of her questioning but she stormed to the front by a reporter. She was escorted out after. @VOCMNEWS #cdnpoli #nlpoli

Heartbreaking thread

This is one of the women Colm O’Gorman tried to silence.

Femme Loves💚🤍💜 @FemmeLoves

This is a thread about why telling girls to “avert your eyes” when they see people with penises in the changing room is so wrong. It is a thread about red flags, and seeing no evil and why most people fail child safeguarding at the very first hurdle.

Underrated tweet

We should have stopped at Metrosexual.

This is wonderful news

You may remember my interview with James, Stella and, er, James a few months back. I think we spoke about this very important petition which hit its target and has had a fantastic response from the government.

James Esses @JamesEsses

The Government have responded to our petition! Key quotes: “Protect free speech” ✅ “Protect under 18s from irreversible decisions” ✅ “Uphold the independence of clinicians” ✅ A major step towards safeguarding vulnerable children with gender dysphoria.

petition.parliament.ukPetition: Safeguard evidence-based therapy for children struggling with gender dysphoriaWe are deeply concerned by the possibility of normal therapeutic practices being banned alongside conversion therapy. We ask the government not to criminalise essential, explorative therapy. Such well-meaning legislation might ironically deny vulnerable children the help they need.
