@thameswater water defying gravity & gushing horizontally over the brow of Montbelle Road SE9 & gushing out of hole in tarmac which was laid by Thames Water around November 2025. Can’t find a helpline so flagging for TW’s attention here.

@berk_hamstead The grey haired lady with her head in her hands says it all.

Pretend you don’t know what sex you are. This is the SNPs Kirsty Blackman pretending that the sex on her birth certificate might be wrong. 3/11

Absolutely not wtf

@ejrosetta Doing what in every bathroom in Disney?? Oh, my bad, it says ranking.

Why is Disney allowing this man to do this? Yes, man. I’m done being polite. 🚨WARNING: WOMENS STUFF‼️ This pic has given me a flashback: So I’m barely 11 years old when I started my period at a theme park. I was horrified. My mother quickly whisked me in to one of the huge bathrooms to help me sort myself out. I was terrified! I thought I’d ruined everyones day. My parents had saved & saved so we could go to this Theme Park for my little sister’s birthday & I was in tears, panicking that I was dying & had spoiled the whole trip. The crowd around me was scary, but vibe instantly changed once in the bathroom. When my mum whispered to the lady in front of her that her 11 year old daughter had just “started her… you know what”, the lady gasped & congratulated me in a whisper. Next, she asked if she could help us by getting us to the front of the very long queue: at least a 15 minute wait. I sniffled & my mother said that was very kind but we didn’t want to make a fuss. I had full on frozen as I was, after all, literally dying (so I thought). The lady nipped up & down the queue & quietly asked the other ladies, many with kids, if they would give up their place so my mum could take me in to the big end stall? I watched her communicate why without ever saying the word “period”. Everyone just got it! One by one, the women & those older girls I thought all looked like princesses, gave me a smile or a wave of encouragement, ushering me to the front. We were next. I was still scared but I didn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore. It felt like I’d joined a club, as why else would these women, all of them, be so kind & keen for me to go ahead of them? I was only 11! Mum led the way, thanking everyone profusely. They replied in knowing nods & whispers, saying to her but also to me: “Not at all!” “Please go ahead of us!” “How exciting! You poor thing, what a shock here of all places, but you’ve got your mum!” “The end stall is biggest, we’ll make sure you’re next!” “Do you need anything?” One girl of about 14 who looked like Belle from Beauty & The Beast crouched down as I trembled next to her, now at the front of the queue, & said: “We’re the same, I got mine first time at a swimming pool! It doesn’t hurt much really, & only for a bit. You ok?” It was overwhelming to see a room full of women, in the biggest bathroom I’d ever seen, seamlessly mobilise as a group & help a young mother & her 11 year old daughter, as if I was their own. If anyone asks me when I first learned what the word “Sisterhood” means, I remember this day. My Mum took me in to the end stall & all was well. When we came out I was worried everyone would stare, but it was all back to normal. Privacy, dignity & “a woman’s secret” were in the air. The Belle-a-like girl had taken her time washing her hands with her own mum to wait for me, to say: “You OK? My family will be at the food place bit at 12 for lunch. Maybe we can meet there & say a quick hi? There are smaller bathrooms there, we can go together?” Her mum & my mum exchanged mum words above our heads. I felt so grateful & special, said thank you, asked my mum, & it was settled. I was settled. And apparently not dying! Then I looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I’d look different, suddenly older, but I was exactly the same (albeit a bit flushed) & ready to go on the teacups. Mum & “Belle” assured me no one could tell & we went back out to the busy park as if nothing had changed. It was the best day! That would have been a totally different experience if this selfish, hulking man had been stood pointedly in the middle of the bathroom, leering at everyone while filming himself (& the rest of us) in the mirror. Scary. Some things are sacred. Girls deserve truly female only bathrooms in theme parks for many reasons. They are not sets for your content, sir. Privacy & dignity for girls is more important than whatever this does for you. Esp as you’re targeting children’s spaces. Get out & stay out.

@GBNEWS @MartinDaubney Move along, nothing to see here: just a man defending a man’s right to be violent to women (& take their medal for doing so)

'We’re looking at a person beating another person.' Joanne Lockwood defends Imane Khelif’s Olympic bout, saying it’s unfair to judge on size, mass or leaked test results — and denies that male-on-female violence took place. @MartinDaubney pushes back: 'Why take the risk?'

@PaulEmbery @fbunational I hope you are right & the majority of firefighters think as you do. (Only two men could write this sort of statement trampling over the rights of women.)

This is an appalling statement from my trade union, @fbunational. Patronising, in part nonsensical, and utterly dismissive of the concerns of many women firefighters. I doubt very strongly that more than a handful of members would agree with it.

@HJoyceGender @BBCWomansHour Excellent clarification on what to many is blatantly obvious. Moreover it was done with clear, calm, non- aggressive reason & logic. Thank you, Helen

Just listened back to the recording of myself on @BBCWomansHour - happy enough with it (though blackshirts not brownshirts 🤦‍♀️). I wasn't well-prepared to be asked about Robin's most stupid point - that because people sometimes bring a child of the opposite sex...1/5

@TheNorfolkLion @NHSEngland Yeah what does a woman know about mammograms. What were you going there anyway?

Why was this man allowed a mammogram @NHSEngland—the UK is a laughing stock 😡

@Lachlan_Edi Wow imagine that: a man not being worried about a woman being in a men’s locker room.

Earlier todsy, whilst getting myself sorted after showering post competition, I was joined in the men's locker room by Ash, who had finished her match and came in to change and freshen up. Ash is a popular post-op transsexual. We exchanged pleasantries. No-one died.

@HJoyceGender More women have been injured by men in dresses demanding access to women’s loos than men in dresses have been beaten up in men’s toilets but Rory seems to think that ‘just a few women’ attacked is acceptable & presents women having to cede rights first these men as compromise.

They only want compromise now that they've lost

@paullewismoney Is this more paperwork than say a visa for US travel?

What did the EU ever do for us? Visa needed to visit Europe from next summer bit.ly/4cCjh2K surprised? I wasn’t ‘from summer 2025 you will need to pay for a visa waiver to visit an EU country’ was definitely on my June 2016 ballot paper. Just below ‘take back control’.

@fairplaywomen Gaslighting indeed: More scientific than a chromosome test? More credible than women saying what a woman is?

IOC is gaslighting the world. Bach says there’s no solid scientific way to tell who is a woman! He is taking us all for fools.

@richardpbacon Listen to the man telling women what a woman is

She is not a trans woman. She just don’t fit your idea of what a woman is. But she is a woman. She was born a woman. As one of the biggest authors in the world, you’ve metaphorically punched her around the head. And possibly shattered the achievement of her life’s ambition

@UnmaskedAntifa Question time nigel farage

ANOTHER BBC QUESTION TIME PLANT, Saskia Lynne features on STAGING DEBATING MATTERS 🥴

Thought #elizabethline was fantastic for se London. At first. @tfl clearly don’t value people living & working along this route. It has reduced the number of Abbey Wood - Heathrow trains. Now requiring a change at whitechapel or Farringdon. Why?
