This is Tweet Thread Three of Day Two of Graham Linehan's appeal against his conviction for criminal damage of a mobile phone at Southwark Crown Court. We are at lunch on something of a cliffhanger, but if you want to start at the beginning, do so here:

@CharlesSwanton @cpeedell It’s quite remarkable isn’t it. Just shows what can be achieved by gradually chipping away at what seems like an intractable problem. I hope brain tumours get this type of progress.

@JacquiDeevoy1 It’s pretty depressing to see a journalist unable to do basic fact checking to this degree, or being so untrusting of so many sources. How did we get here?

Meningitis is NOT contagious, so what’s with all the nonsense?
As my friend Kat Watkins says on FB today: “Meningitis is an infection in the brain caused by toxins passing the blood brain barrier.
You cannot 'catch' it, it's not contagious 🙄🙄
So all this closing of schools is just theatre.
It's to scare you into making sure you jab yourselves and your kids up.
How many of those who have presented with meningitis, had the covid vax? Since its a side effect? As well as a side effect of many other jabs 🤷🤷”

@segm_ebm What’s the difference between the 10 reviews? Why publish them as 10 separate reviews instead of just 1 big review?

@baroness_9 @sappholives83 @Glinner I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. But it’s worth asking why did we ever have single sex spaces? And has any reason to have them truly changed?
English

it is accurate to say that many who ‘self identify’ do so to be able to get their kicks in places they were previously arrested for being in, it is unfair however to always state ‘all’ are like this, those who went through the years of psychotherapy and counselling to be then DIAGNOSED with a troubling, for them, condition and do not ‘invade’ spaces simply wish to be allowed to exist as happily as they can without pissing people off and being accused of being predatory perverts. it is like saying all police officers are crooked because a few got caught doing illegal things. i agree completely that the laws have been abused but i also know that due to these abuses they are constantly being looked at for amendment.

Yeah, Dylan, I am. I work homicide, and I’ve also worked sex crimes. Want to know how many sex offenses I’ve seen committed by men who like to crossdress?
It startled with so-called nuisance crimes when I was working patrol, like trespassing in women’s spaces to jerk off, or breaking into women’s homes to steal underwear, and goes all the way on up through possession of child sexual abuse material to multiple rape/homicides.
And people like you have given these predators not only access to women spaces, but camouflage, in the persons of the trans-identifying men whose fetishistic desires to crossdress _don’t_ include the sexual exploitation of women’s spaces and the violation of women’s bodies.
A woman has no way of knowing whether or not the transvestite in the bathroom with her is a predator or not, the same as with any other man, which is why we _had_ women’s spaces in the first place — so that we could use the fvcking bathroom without having to worry about the fact that we’re trapped in a flimsy box with one exit and our pants down.
Ah, the good old days — when women had rights, and a way to refer to ourselves that doesn’t also include men. Stealing a minority group’s ability to name themselves is an old colonizer’s trick, by the way — and that’s what your movement is - the colonization of womanhood by invading men, men who think they have the right to decide what it means to be a woman, simply because they want to be one. That’s not how it works — and deep down, you know that.

@Aella_Girl @Martina What’s the source of these data? How was the sample collected?
English

Huh decided to check - trans women actually do report significantly higher rates of sex work than any other gender identity group who took my survey

Paleo Life@PaleoGina
@profstonge Are we allowed to ask how many are sex workers?

@flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk His disorder makes him say the most inappropriate thing he can for the situation. He doesn’t say “I HAVE DRUGS” to people that aren’t cops, because he least wants to say that to cops. He doesn’t say SLUT to men because his brain knows that he least wants to say that to women

@LRSerling Being in a single sex bay was In the top 3 responses to what matters most to patients in hospital in the NHS CQC in patient survey in 2009.

This is fucking insane??? Why???? I have literally never heard anyone in my life complain about having a bed next to someone of a different gender in a hospital??
Jackie Baillie@jackiebmsp
All hospital wards must be single sex. It’s a matter of dignity and respecting equality law.

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational It would be more accurate to capture a variable that cannot change, such as sex at birth (ie sex at a particular point in time) and then have a another variable that captures gender transition later in life. This would make data analyses easier.
English

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational that would seem to me to be confusing in a health database. It would give a variable where the same value could mean two different things.

EXCLUSIVE: Anti-trans activists are negatively impacting scientific research by pushing for 'the existence of trans people to be an impossibility' in data gathering, according to a new study #Echobox=1769007147-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25785108.…
English

@Rojtus1 @Naeluckmate @ScotNational On the point of data collection, you would need to collect information on both natal sex and trans identification to be accurate. Anything else risks trans people disappearing completely and could mean that research doesn’t address their needs.
English

@Naeluckmate @ScotNational So you agree that it's important that these subjects be studied free from biases and mistakes, in either direction. Good. 👍
