I just walked out of my church ✝️, causing a big stir, during notices, which is before the final blessing and dismissal, so during the service, they had a member of the interfaith group stand up to thank Father Philip, Turkish refugee, doctor, no problem with that. Then he said he'd like to read some passages from the Quaran... too too much. I walked out. During our Mass. My Mass. My time each week to commune with God. In my way with other people who believe what I do. Others agreed, and 2 others followed. And the interfaith Christian ladies came outside to talk to me and said that they agreed too it was too far.. I was shaking and emotional. Still am. I've been invited to the next interfaith meeting to put my feelings to this guy. I'll go. I've given the ladies my number. I'm still shaking, I'm proud of myself, though. I feel like William Tyndale who stood up in church before the Reformation and read the bible in English, 'In the beginning was the word and the word was with God' he was burned for heresy but changed everything. Just having tea on England's Lane. Still shaking x

Hey ⁦@Walmart⁩. Your driver is all over NJ TurnpikeSouth, mile marker 40 right now, cutting off drivers and swerving like he’s on crystal meth. As one of your stockholders, this is very disappointing.

Attention all men telling me I look like a trans woman: I’m sensing that this isn’t meant as a compliment. In fact, the implication seems to be that trans women look male, or odd, or ugly. This is appallingly transphobic and I’ll thank you to take your bigotry off my timeline.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who bought one of my books even though you never cared about them. It was very kind of you to take pity on me 🙏 #blessed

Offer stands! Applications close at midnight on Monday. A £10 donation means your name will go into the draw. 1/3 wearelumos.org/how-you-can-he…

I mean this, by the way. Donate £10 to @lumos, I'll draw three names out of a hat and we'll have dinner. It could be KFC, but the wonderful @JamesChiavarini has just suggested his restaurant, so it might be there instead (travel and accommodation on me if you're not in London).

@jk_rowling Lady, you are no spokesperson for womankind. No one filled with as much hatred as you should have her books in school libraries. Go away, hack.

I've never attacked any woman for not being 'woman enough.' That's a concept I don't recognise. You either are, or you aren't, a woman. What I've done is say 'you are a man' to men like you, who're angry because you believe you're owed my participation in your fantasy life. 1/

@jk_rowling Shouldn’t you be writing your stupid magic books instead of posting obsessively about lives that have nothing to do with you?

@jk_rowling Why are you so threatened by trans women? She who doth protest…also, you are a terrible representative of the female species.

Do women fail to challenge trans-identified man Robin Moira White (left) when he enters female only spaces because: A) they think he's a fellow woman? B) they know he's a man but consider him harmless? or C) they know what can happen to women who say 'no' to large, entitled men?

The pictures in this thread really do paint a thousand words about the male-centric movement to which large sections of the media continue to pander. ⬇️
Lisa Mackenzie@lnmackenzie1

When the media sought out reactions from those with trans identities to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, how many of those reactions were from trans identified males vs trans identified females? The tally so far (happy to add to this thread if I've missed any).
