Tidying up my pinned tweet. Improved version: Why is it acceptable for men who choose to ID as women to demand space segregated from men, but not for women to demand space segregated from men? As smarter women than me have noted: being “kind” & misusing words helps no one.

@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.

진짜 화나는 건, 이 “오리입 질경” 디자인이 거의 180년 전 만들어진 거라는 점임. 그리고 더 빡치는 건 그 탄생 배경. 1845년 미국 의사 제임스 매리언 심스가 흑인 여성 노예들을 마취도 없이 반복적으로 생체실험하면서 만든 도구가 지금까지 표준처럼 쓰이고 있다는 거. 당시엔 이미 마취제가 존재했는데도 “흑인은 고통을 덜 느낀다”는 인종차별 논리로 여성들 몸을 실험대처럼 사용했고, 그 과정에서 나온 게 지금의 금속 질경 디자인임. 근데 문제는 2020년대가 된 지금도 본질이 별로 안 바뀌었다는 거. 환자가 얼마나 차갑고 아픈지, 얼마나 수치스럽고 긴장되는지는 뒷전이고, “의사가 보기 편하다” “병원이 비용 적게 든다” 이 이유로 그대로 유지돼온 거잖아. 실제로 여성 디자이너들이 통증 줄인 실리콘 질경, 꽃잎처럼 부드럽게 펼쳐지는 디자인 같은 대안을 계속 내놓고 있는데도, 의료계는 “기존 것도 되는데 굳이?” 하면서 변화 속도 엄청 느림. 결국 여성들이 수십 년 동안 말해온 “아프다” “무섭다” “검사 자체가 트라우마다” 이 목소리가 의료 시스템 안에서는 너무 쉽게 사소한 불편 정도로 취급돼왔다는 게 제일 답답함.

Acho que deveríamos começar a enfiar isso em todos os médicos homens uma vez por ano, até que mudem o design.

@treesey @antoniafrances So they shut down the meeting rather than answer a good and currently newsworthy question. Cowards.

“It’s not ‘inclusive’ to use language that erases the term ‘mother’ … Referring to mothers who have experienced stillbirth as simply ‘employees’ is particularly offensive.” @DerryBanShee on Scottish Prison Service removing ‘women’ from its maternity policy @thetimes thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

@owenjonesjourno The risk to women will go up significantly if men are allowed in. We are not human shields for men who fancy themselves as vulnerable or women.

The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high. The risk of a woman being abused or assaulted in the women’s toilet per visit = extremely low.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Follow the logic. Women are deluded and naive for thinking predatory and violent men can be kept out of women-only spaces. ‘They can rape you anywhere.’ However, trans-identified men can only be safe in women-only spaces, because no abuser would ever follow them in there.

🐝 This beekeeper just dropped the ULTIMATE winter survival hack — and it actually WORKED! 🍯 Watch as she uncovers her hive in spring after following advice from a seasoned local beekeeper: topping the hive with newspaper and a 2-inch layer of sugar. The bees ate right through the paper, feasted on the sugar all winter, stayed warm, and the sugar even absorbed damaging moisture. Survival rates boosted. Hive thriving. Mind officially blown! 🐝 🐝 🐝 Who else is trying this next season? 😮

Some sporting bodies need reminding that women are entitled to fair and safe sport. Is yours one of them? womensrights.network/sporting-body-…
SEENinSport@SportSEENuk

. @joshxhowie explains the madness of sports organisations, like @KickboxingGB, that prioritised inclusion of males in the female category above safety and fairness for women & girls There are more than 30 UK sports that need to urgently update their unlawful policies

Next time you are in a meeting or out & about in the high street, look around you and see if you can tell who is male and who is female. We all can. Pretending sex is a secret just because some people take hormones & have surgery to disguise it is ridiculous.

YOUR SEX IS NOT A SECRET A welcome intervention by @SexMattersOrg on a clear case of overreach by @bphillipsonMP. This erroneous section MUST be addressed.

The male athletes competing at The Enhanced Games this week have missed a trick! No need to dope up lads, you already have hefty doses of the ultimate performance-enhancing drug coursing around your veins - testosterone. Just enter the female category in the sports that still allow it and you’ll soon be filling your trophy cabinet with gold medals. For some reason The Enhanced Games rules don’t allow males to enter the female category… because that would be cheating…
Daily Mail@DailyMail

The Enhanced Games are an Olympic-style competition where athletes are not just permitted but actively encouraged to take performance-enhancing drugs trib.al/bv8NOmb 🔗

This will not be pretty, but it is necessary. It’s very good news for Australian women and girls that Alison Penfold MP has introduced the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Sex-Based Rights) Bill. The debate this will generate will bring the disinfectant of sunlight on the wholescale degradation of female rights there. Time for Australian women to really start the fight to take back their language, their spaces, their services and their rights. #IStandWithSallGrover

“In a free society, people can believe whatever they want. If you want to believe men can be women or you’re a man who wants to call himself a woman, that is your business. What you cannot do in a free society is force anyone else to accept it. What is at stake here is the ability to lawfully acknowledge reality. If you care so much about “trans rights” you can work out a way to get them without destroying the category of women in law, female spaces, sport, services, the entire reality of lesbianism, and punishing citizens for acknowledging reality. The fact that you haven’t even tried makes it appear that destroying the rights of women is the goal. Any politician who will look an Australian citizen in the eye and tell them that a man can be a woman is admitting that they will lie about anything and everything because the most obvious lie has already been told. If no one in this room can acknowledge reality and fix an obvious problem you are either malicious or incompetent. The days of dismissing this issue are over. This is not a culture war. It’s reality.” - my words, read by Alison Penfold MP, in parliament today. Contact politicians are tell them to BACK THE BILL - “Sex Discrimination Amendment- sex based rights bill 2026”

We are quoted in this ⬇️ "Mary Howden, the co-director of the Women's Rights Network Scotland, described the policy as dehumanising. Ms Howden blasted: Most despicably, even in the harrowing section on stillbirth - where an employee loses their child after the end of the 24th week of pregnancy' - the policy strips mothers of the recognition of their unique, sexed grief. A woman enduring the profound trauma of stillbirth is denied the basic dignity of being acknowledged as a mother who has lost her baby. This is institutional cruelty masquerading as inclusion. This robs women of their language at the precise moment they need it most. This is not progress - it is the dehumanising triumph of ideology over biology."

Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
Need a fence? What you really need is a deadhedge. It's a barrier made of dead branches stacked between two rows of posts. You feed it with branches, fallen limbs, and woody yard debris. Over a season it becomes denser than most commercial fencing. Over years, the bottom layers compost down and the top gets refilled with whatever you trim that week. Wrens, robins, and ground-foraging birds nest in the structure. Hedgehogs, field mice, frogs, and toads shelter in the base. Solitary bees, ladybirds, and beetles overwinter in the cavities. Germany has been planting deadhedges as wildlife corridors since the 1990s. The UK uses them for riverbank restoration. A wood fence costs thousands of dollars and supports no wildlife. A deadhedge costs nothing, gets denser every year, and provides habitat for dozens of species you want in your yard anyway.

In fact, the Code hardly changed during @bphillipsonmp’s 6 months of “working with the @EHRC to get it right” The key section - on “justification for separate and single-sex services” - is identical save for tiny tweaks to the examples That’s because it was always correct.../2
