As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

A child has been sentenced to execution by hanging in Occupied Iran. Diana Taherabadi is only 16. The Islamic Regime dragged her out bed, confiscated her family's phones, and kidnapped her. It takes a second for you to speak up. DO IT.

There appears to be increasing evidence that “trans” is a particularly dangerous minority.

In the past few hours, this is the only message I’ve received from Iran. The sender wrote: “Our connection to the outside world has been completely cut off. Everyone has been warned that anyone who connects to the open internet will be arrested. When the internet is cut, people start losing hope because we have no idea what’s happening outside. Please be our voice and tell the world that we’ve been taken hostage by them.” Right now the Islamic Republic has imposed one of the most severe internet shutdowns on 90 million people in Iran. Their lives are at risk. If you truly care about the people of Iran, amplify their call. Be their voice, not someone speaking in their place #DigitalBlackOutIran

"It was really demoralizing knowing that when I stepped to the starting line, I already knew what place I was going to get." Listen to Alanna Smith describe what it was like having to compete against males in women's track and field. All she is asking for is a fair shot.

The wonderful @Ausiran_org have started this Gofundme to support the 5 Iranian footballers who have been granted asylum here in Australia. These brave women thought they were just leaving home for a few weeks to play a tournament, but now will have to start their lives again entirely from scratch in a foreign country. Please consider donating, even the smallest amount will make a difference gofund.me/1b0d0bdae

Up until about 5 minutes ago, we all knew what a woman was. That's why there is a Women's History Month. @xx_xyathletics & @ADFLegal made this video asking why the ACLU legal team can't define "woman" now for the purpose of protecting women's rights.

"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” - Audre Lorde One of our favorite things about the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights is that it’s a global document. 160 countries are represented in its nearly 40k signatures. The Declaration was founded to “build #international #sisterhood and to urge nations to maintain language protecting women and girls on the basis of sex rather than "gender" or "gender identity.”” This #WomensHistoryMonth, add your name! @DeclarationOn @WDIBrasil @WDICanada @WDI_UK @wdi_fr @WDIAfghanistan1 @WDI_Quebec @WDIswitzerland @WdiColombia @WDI_Es @INDIAWDI @WDIFinland @WDIBahamas @WDI_China @WDI_Scotland @WDIMexico @WDIArgentina

Something which has become super apparent to me in the past couple of days: Here on X and on Instagram as well since this war started so many of the trolls have gone. With the bombing campaign it seems that Iran's famed network of bots and trolls, much of it disguised as Iranian opposition or far left/ pro-Pal accounts, have fallen silent. Of course some of this noise comes from genuine, organic accounts too, often amplifying Islamic Republic propaganda without realising. It might be just my own algorithmic bubble, but for the first time in a long time, being active on X does not feel like wading through a muddy morass of bile and hate.
