@polblonde I had a similar experience with a Lib Dem canvasser:
Me: What is a woman.
LD: It's very complicated.
Me: Is a trans woman a woman.
LD: Absolutely....
Silence ensued and he sloped off red faced.

Labour canvasser knocked on doors in my street last night. My neighbour asked what is a woman. 'Hard for me to say,' she said. This is why (as I told her) I no longer vote Labour.

@brookseybabe @imalady18 @ThomasWillett9 The issue 1. Legal,you cant call a space/service girls and include males.2. That some girls may be a friends with males isn't relevant.
If girl guides want to include some males they have to change the name to eg: guides. a unisex group.
We already have a unisex group ,scouts.
English
@imalady18 @KateCommonsense @ThomasWillett9 But there was no burnt mouths! Did you check with the other girls if they got hurt? The protests I've seen looks like their said and angry that they are losing their friends!
English
Girls are being banned from Girlguides. Why? Because a small group of wealthy, well-connected transphobes decided to target children and make their lives a misery instead of focusing on real issues.

@NorthForNords @ThomasWillett9 What would "help" is an explanination of why "trans girls" are not male?
What sex are " trans girls" if not male?
English
@KateCommonsense @ThomasWillett9 Trans girls are not "males". Hope this helps.

@GreenPrtyNilton @TheGreenParty Males are not girls.
It absolutely unacceptable that some males have accessed girl guiding ,its for females only.
Thank fully a stop has been put to males accessing girl guides!
English
This is absolutely unacceptable. Trans girls are girls.
@TheGreenParty stands with our trans siblings and against this violent attack on trans people.

@brookseybabe @ThomasWillett9 No to keeping any males in a female group.
Direct them to the scouts.
English
@KateCommonsense @ThomasWillett9 Fine correct it if you must but atleast keep the members there beforehand! Let this be a new rule for new members. Otherwise you're taking the community's that they've made from them!
English
@brookseybabe @ThomasWillett9 All i'm saying is that someone made a grave error here and it has to be corrected immediately. Its wrong and thankfully its been corrected.
English
@KateCommonsense @ThomasWillett9 But THEY DID! All I'm saying is the least they can do is let them remain with a rule that no NEW members can join at a set date!
English
@brookseybabe @ThomasWillett9 Males should never, ever have been accepted into the girl guides because it's a female group.
Imagine being excited about males accessing a female group!
English
@KateCommonsense @ThomasWillett9 Then they shouldn't have excepted them in the first place. Or suggested new members be born female only from September. Imagine being excited by abdanoning trans girls from a setting which is mostly left winged anyway where they feel exceptable in their new self!

@MichaelBaggs Things i would like to know:
1. Why anyone would think some males should be able to join the girl guides when its a female club.
2. What are are you accusing @HJoyceGender of ?
English
@NadiaWhittomeMP It's devastating that some males were allowed to access girl guiding .
The Supreme Court clarified existing law .
No guidance can supercede the law.
English
It’s devastating that Girlguiding has announced plans to exclude existing trans girl guides from September.
The Supreme Court ruling is being weaponised to bully previously inclusive organisations into abandoning members of their own community.
The government must ensure that the statutory guidance enables organisations to be inclusive and protects them from expensive anti-trans lawfare.

@LBC @TomSwarbrick1 What does he think the "extreme circumstances" were that made Huw Edwards do what he did?
English
'Some people commit murder in extreme circumstances, it doesn't make them murderers.'
Huw Edwards' publicist, Barry Tomes, insists the disgraced broadcaster is 'not a bad person'.

@bindelj if womens means female sex (as clarified by the supreme court ) in relation to a single sex space/service in this case a prison. How can a male be housed there?

BREAKING NEWS: IT IS CONFIRMED THAT VIVIENNE TAYLOR IS SERVING HIS SENTENCE IN DOWNVIEW - A WOMEN'S PRISON. Officials are saying no need for ministerial sign-off as he is not in general population. WTF?? (Link in replies)

@EleanoraStats You are mistaken
Androgens may accelerate PC but don't cause it.
Genetic mutations are a major risk for PC.
You will age and the risks of PC increase and you will need PSA test at 50 yrs.(not monthly,recommended every 2-3 yrs)
Your risk is not 0% ,as you have a prostate gland.

@esjesjesj Some tried to silence her and they didn't succeed.
I get it, that really annoys you.

Silence her? She literally never shuts the fuck up

When you consider everything they did to silence Riley, you realize why so many women & girls still fear speaking up. It also deepens your respect for those that bravely do it anyway, regardless of the price. And there’s always price.

@AbbyJohnson Are their any circumstances where abortion is not wrong?
English
The life of a human child is way more important than the desire of a woman to not be pregnant.
Abortion is wrong.

@ThomasWillett9 Im wondering then,why Dr Marci Bowers a trans woman GRS agrees with @Jonathan_Hinder and went further saying pbs at tanner stage 2 caused infertility,anorgasmia and made adult GRS difficult due to insufficient material to work with ?
English
There’s no evidence that supports this.

Jonathan Hinder MP @Jonathan_Hinder in the puberty blocker debate ‘Infertility is not a risk but an expected outcome..let’s be absolutely clear about what this would mean - the British state sterilising healthy little children - in plain sight, not by accident, but consciously and deliberately. How could we do this to children. It would be the most appalling state scandal you could imagine’
English
@JordanUhl She was silenced when competing/many still try to silence her.
Wether you think her mediocre (she was elite) doesnt matter,males should'nt compete against women at any level or access the womens locker room. Whilst some still do she will object .

I have been seeing and hearing from this mediocre swimmer against my will for several years now. In what way was she “silenced”?
