ann prosser #RejoinEU

Some good questions in this letter for the government. Including why they *still* haven't laid before Parliament the EHRC draft code on single-sex service provision, despite a year having passed since the FWS judgment from the Supreme Court.

What part of 'NO MALE Personal Care workers for 84 year old Females does Glasgow City Council & HSCP not fucking understand! Folks pls Note if you have Elderly Female relatives/neighbours etc. Recieving PCare that GCC & co are sending lone Male workers to lone elderly Women.

This is outrageous from Stroud Brewery and Taproom - cancelling an event on Jo and Rob’s book about the dangers of porn

It sure does ⭐

Thirteen-year-old Emma Johnson underwent a mandatory school health examination on April 15, 1914, at Boston Public School No. 12. The school nurse, Mrs. Helen Morrison, aged fifty-five, conducted routine physical check-ups for all students, assessing general health and measuring height and weight. While examining Emma, she noticed that her abdomen appeared enlarged for her slender frame. She asked, “Emma, do you feel okay? Any stomach problems?” Emma replied, “I feel fine, just a bit tired lately.” The nurse performed a careful examination and determined that Emma was approximately three months pregnant. She gently asked, “Emma, when was your last menstrual period?” Emma responded, “I don’t remember, maybe in January.” The nurse then asked, “Are you married, dear?” Emma said, “Yes, I married Mr. Robert Johnson in December. He’s thirty-nine. My father arranged it.” The nurse recorded in the school health record: "Student Emma Johnson, 13 years old, found to be approximately 3 months pregnant during a routine examination. Reports having married in December 1913, at age 12, to a 39-year-old man." The case was immediately reported to the school principal and the Boston Child Welfare Department. Emma was placed under protective care the same day, and the school health record became evidence. Robert Johnson was arrested on April 16. Nurse Morrison had been conducting school examinations for fifteen years, evaluating hundreds of students annually for tuberculosis, malnutrition, and infectious diseases. During the April 15, 1914, examination, she identified physical signs inconsistent with normal development, making the pregnancy apparent to a trained medical eye. After the examination, she met with the principal, noting: "Medical examination reveals a 13-year-old student approximately 3 months pregnant, married at 12, husband aged 39, marriage arranged by father. IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION REQUIRED." The principal contacted police and child protection services, while the nurse stayed with Emma. Within two hours of the examination, Emma was removed from school and placed in a safe location. Emma was taken to a maternity home, gave birth at age thirteen, and the baby was adopted. She later returned to school, completed elementary education, married at age twenty-two, had three children, and lived until 1978, passing away at seventy-seven. Before her death, she reflected: "I was thirteen and three months pregnant when the school nurse examined me during a routine check-up. She asked questions, examined me, and discovered I was expecting a baby. She asked if I was married, and I said yes, since December, when I was twelve. She recorded everything in my school health record and reported it immediately. That examination saved me. I was saved the same day." This episode illustrates how a simple school health examination revealed a case of child marriage, prompted immediate intervention, and how medical records served as evidence to ensure the protection of a child at risk.

Melania pushed her husband’s fake racist birtherism claims that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. Melania lied to obtain her Einstein visa & her pathway to U.S. citizenship. She never graduated from college & does not have “extraordinary abilities.” 😡 teenvogue.com/story/melania-…

Outrageous sexism again. So weird how British gymnastics wouldn’t let girls wear short until they lets boys pretend to be girls! Then that too changed!

@TheAdvocateMag “I’ve worked so damn hard for years just to get here." Funny how when a man wants to compete against women, we're supposed to respect the years of hard work he's put in, but when women want fair competition, darts is just a silly game people play at the pub after 9 pints.

“It has subsumed our lives for a decade. We've faced down threats and abuse, some from politicians or funded lobbyists who preach about tolerance and ‘detoxifying’ public life from one side of their mouths and smear us with the other.”

It really is absolutely no surprise that basing your entire perception of yourself on a lie, demanding other people see the lie, taking medication to mimic the lie and undergoing barbaric experimental surgery to adhere to the lie, isn’t the answer to positive mental wellbeing.

Please, please, PLEASE report me to the police, please, please PLEASE persuade them to come to my house and arrest me. This will take my crowdfunder to stratospheric heights. I am out today to protest against the failure of the Government to obey the law but will be back on Sunday!

I almost feel sorry for Stroud Brewery. They know they could be forced out of business by the vindictive irresponsible righteous twats who demanded this. It’s not on Stroud Brewery to make a stand and go bust. We need political leadership to explain social responsibility.

An absolute masterclass on R4 right now, unpicking whether and why women and girl-only spaces are necessary and important. Wonderful woman (Millie) and reporter (Simon) explaining the struggles women and girls have in mixed sex spaces due to males dominating, interrupting, taking up more physical space, have more confidence and the plethora of evidence and research showing this is the case. Infuriating gay bloke who is a parent of girls, recounting telling his teenage girl that he would be appalled at the thought of her attending an all-girl’s school as girls are basically mean and toxic. Shockingly out of touch. He thinks acknowledging the differences between males and females entrenches them and demonises maleness. Absolute idiot. No one is demonising boys by pointing out the differences. Women and girls can have their own spaces and reasons to want them without demonising boys. The bloke demonstrated the problem by speaking over and patronising Millie throughout the conversation. Oliver - you ran out of steam. Please rethink your mindset, for the sake of your daughters. Consider that you have a male-centric view of the world.

BBC gaslighting is so predicable, zero empathy for the women who have lost nearly 60k in prize money to a male who was unable to win that money in the men’s event so stole it from women in women’s darts. He has not been asked to retire but compete with other males & in the open event

Zelensky just reminded JD Vance that calling Ukrainian territory a "scrap of land" isn't a negotiating position. It's an insult. With full diplomatic courtesy and zero diplomatic softness, Zelensky explained what Vance apparently doesn't know: the territory in question has 200,000 residents, strong fortifications, and sits exactly where Russia wants to build a bridgehead for its next offensive. Giving it up doesn't end the war. It stages the next one. Then the closing line: "Every square meter of our land is Ukrainian land and, with all due respect to any of our partners, it is definitely not theirs." There's no misreading that sentence.

63% of Brits already want to rejoin the EU. Now the president of Ukraine - who knows more about Russian military power than almost anyone alive - is calling for the UK to come back in. Is this the moment the rejoining argument becomes impossible to ignore?

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Life has its own timing. What’s meant for you will come when you’re ready for it. Keep trusting your journey, even when the progress feels unseen.

This is what kills maga. The charm, the charisma, the jokes and tye style.

Went on a date and he told me “you’re pretty for a dark girl.” And i smiled and said “and you’re confident for a man with that hairline.” The silence was loud. He started stuttering. I said “see how crazy backhanded compliments sound?” Then I left him there to reflect on his generational trauma.
