Cardiff ReSisters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #WomenStandUp

"No funding, no big names, no staff, just dozens of ordinary women up & down the country standing up for their rights. And we're not going away." Thanks ReSisters for this fab poster. We're pink with pride (so to speak).

Until I started writing about gender-identity ideology, I had no idea how many men do not even see women as human. We're just scenery to them, background to male people's full and meaningful lives

Barbara Hillary (1931-2019) US. Nurse. Polar adventurer. On retiring from a 55 year career in nursing, she decided to become the first black woman to reach the Poles. After rigorous training she reached the North Pole, age 75, and the South Pole at age 79.

Currently watching the House of Lords debate with respect to Amendment 97ZA. Never in my life did I think there had to be a debate about whether to put male prisoners in with female prisoners. Never. #KeepPrisonsSingleSex

If men's prisons are dangerous for transwomen, then deal with the violence, abuse and degradation in men's prisons. Women are not sponges to mop up the mess caused by men.

This is *such* a shocking difference that I'm struggling to take it at face value. What might be missing here - surely this much of a gap can't be just down to the sex of the surgeon but also other factors around that (seniority, numbers etc)? theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

“families should not have to request single-sex care for vulnerable women — it should be standard.” Dr Em in @M_Star_Online highlights the appalling scandal of disabled women’s abuse at the hands of predator men

One thing that struck me tonight. Look how seriously the IOC has taken the issue of dietary supplements. A three day meeting with all the leading experts in the field. The final consensus published in the BJSM. Science driven. 1/2 olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-t…

Campaigner against violence towards women made MBE standard.co.uk/news/uk/sarah-…

Right in the middle he says “Am I not allowed a word”. If only he understood the irony of that when Ulrike has so plainly explained that this is what’s happening to women.

@ripx4nutmeg Ironically I hope they still accept ‘trans’ pupils providing that means those girls attempting to identify their way out of society’s expectations. Schools could really help young women to navigate their way through the stereotypes if they develop & support feminist analysis.

A group of 25 leading girls' schools has updated its policy guidance so that they will not accept boys who say they identify as girls as pupils mol.im/a/10361677

“It is a cruel and unusual punishment when failing to pay your TV licence can result in being forced to share a shower with a male sex offender. Single-sex prisons need to be reinstated immediately” thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-…

Research of four Scottish prisons has found that 'several' males who were transferred to women's prisons after saying they identified as women stopped saying they were women after they were released thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-…

Happy New Year you magnificent women!

The question at the heart of this debate is whether sex or gender identity should form the basis of decisions on safeguarding, provision of services, sporting categories and other areas where women and girls currently have legal rights and protections. 2/3

"Teachers and parents often underestimate girls' mathematical abilities. These lower expectations cause bias. The reverberating effects of these biases are estimated to contribute to around half of the gender achievement gap in maths." thefemalelead.com/post/tackling-…

@SigrunMoon @leakylike @Ronagig @talkRADIO @thejamesmax @DebbieHayton Surgery has never been a requirement for a GRC. Qualification for this legal fiction is purely based on psychological assessment.

James Max: "What did I get wrong?" Journalist Debbie Hayton: "There are two sexes. Male and female. What you got wrong was forgetting that and concentrating on gender identity." @thejamesmax | @DebbieHayton

If the poll isn’t published on New Year’s Day then this will probably be the only possible explanation. How about it, @guardian? Will you salvage your reputation with a full bells-and-whistles celebration of the winner this Saturday (with a tidy vote breakdown for clarity)? #JKR

Words mean nothing when men can say they are women. Women’s rights mean nothing when men can say they are women.

@James_Treadwell @Jgicriminolg @metpoliceuk For men to be given women's officers positions by @UKLabour , positions that exist explicitly so women CAN have a voice. & It's all agreed & celebrated without consulting with or listening to & respecting the voices of women. Its exhausting!
