Suzy Eddie Izzard, 64, reveals she would like to have kids one day as she opens up about her mother's tragic death when she was a child trib.al/0sYjRtN

@benbloomsport Why are you pretending to be stupid? Sex exists separate from gender ID. No trans person is hurt by sex recognition. All male people regardless of ID are not female people.
English

Two distinct things can be true:
1. Women's sport must be protected.
2. Parkrun allows people to run with dogs/buggies. It's for everyone. It's not a competition. The suggestion that a trans runner is a threat to anyone's morning fun run is ludicrous.

The "Riley Gaines Women's Safety and Protection Act," has passed on the senate floor. bit.ly/48RCPRJ

@salltweets @DailyMailCeleb The average death of a man is 79.5 in the UK. Let's add 5.5 years, he makes it to 85. If he had a baby in two years (since he's just considering) he'd die when they hit 18.
In reality it's unlikely that he actually has time left to properly parent a child into adult life.

@DailyMailCeleb As a woman, he should know that by 64 menopause has already happened.

@jwhitey98 Why do you support the abject dehumanization & subjugation of women?
English

And now they come for Parkrun. PARKRUN.
Threatening community run events with legal action cannot possibly be part of protecting women’s sport.
For these campaigners, the only thing that seems to matter is the erasure of the trans community from public life.

A 14-year-old girl won a national math competition, solving a problem that stumped everyone else.
The second-place boy, who finished 45 minutes behind her, told a reporter that she was "probably just lucky" and that she "didn't seem that smart in person." The math community, predominantly male, chuckled at the "awkward genius" trope.
At the awards ceremony. the host a famous male mathematician, spent more time interviewing the boy about his "process" than acknowledging her victory.

🚨 SEC. RFK JR JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL:
"[They] charged us $6,000 a month for that hospice patient. How did we detect them all? Because the patients NEVER DIED."
"Hospices in Los Angeles — we've shut down 500 of them. We have not gotten *ONE CALL* from a congressperson or one call from a patient."
"Why? Because those hospices did not exist."
Gavin Newsom allowed this

@LoinDuTribu @soulseamstress2 They're excluded from female spaces because they're male not because of a "caricature of being fetishists."
Wanting access to female spaces & performance of stereotypes is the evidence of fetishization. Trans people are not a monolith some don't & won't violate female spaces.
English

@soulseamstress2 That's not much of rebuttal.
You are just denying trans people exist on their own terms, reducing them to male fetishists, and then using that caricature to justify exclusion.
Try harder.
English

She always does this. She recasts minority rights as a debate for everyone except the minority in question, then pretends that excluding them is what makes society “pluralistic” and “democratic.”

@james_xond Unheated leftovers obviously... though I'm guessing that's not an option. Eggs w/ toast.
If 5min fancy, put nuts & dried fruit on pre-mxed greens add oil/vinger, microwave a small sweet potato while assembling salad top as desired. serve with salami & cheese slices on the side.

The requirement that women– not men–have their sex monitored, tested & proven legitimizes the distorted fantasy that men are trying to pass as women to win women’s sports competitions(why would they when female athletes are paid so much less?)@MoiraDonegan

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.
'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.
If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.
Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.
Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.

A man who claims to be a woman attempted to explain what women think about men who claim to be women. He completely failed.
*ahem*
• “They reject the distinction between gender identity and sex and that these two things can be in conflict”
No. We know that gender identity & sex are very different. In fact that is basically our entire argument.
Gender identity = a manmade concept.
Sex = Naturally observable over the entire natural world, including humans. Binary & immutable.
• “They are concerned with the safety & integrity of spaces that are typically reserved for women”
No. Not “typically”. *Are*. ARE reserved for women. “Typically” is an admission that you know the group trying to gain access to the women’s spaces aren’t women. Which is our entire point to begin with, sir. They’re men.
• “Trans people are concerned with safety & privacy in private spaces.”
Great. Then leave women’s spaces alone, respecting the women who want them, and focus on creating your own spaces catering to your “man claiming to be woman” needs, whatever they may be. We won’t stop you.
• “Trans people are seeking to go about their business & mind their business”
Cool story, but the problem is the process of that appears to be changing the definition of “woman” in law & gaining access to women’s spaces, services & sport. So we fight back because we are not willing to give up our rights & needs so men in dresses can “go about their business”.
• “We have had inclusive policies… and there was not a spate of people pretending to be trans, going into spaces & abusing anyone.”
Either a) you’re ignoring all of the cases of men invading women’s spaces & sexually assaulting women - we can name 10 examples just in prisons off the top of our head - because it doesn’t suit your argument; b) you’re completely aware & just lying; c) you argument is they weren’t “trans” which means they must have been making it up; d) even if there were no cases, it still doesn’t make men women!
• “Discomfort alone is not grounds to exclude people.”
No, it isn’t. Sex is. Men are excluded from women’s spaces on the basis of sex. We exclude all men, including men with a gender identity and men we are comfortable with.
It’s frankly unforgivable to speak this untruthfully about this issue in 2026, and it’s utterly shameful that two men just nodded along to blatantly obvious untruths. This is the intellectual equivalent of junk food.

@ThrillaRilla369 There's no such thing as a "women's" room if men are in it, by logic it defacto becomes a unisex restroom. Restrooms should be accurately labeled.
English

@ProfPParkinson No we do not "forgive" sexual abuse, sexual dehumanization, sexual oppression & sexual perversion.
He is male pervert who thought he could get away with the above, & has moved to Australia because female people aren't protected there. He is going to do it all over again.
English

This post has clearly generated some strong reactions! I understand that; but look at it another way. A young doctor, just starting out, has been so strongly and publicly criticised- for good reasons - that they choose to move to the other side of the world. What place is there in our society for grace, forgiveness and tolerance? If a professional, who has had this bad a start to their career, doesn't learn from what has happened when given a new start in another country, that is on them; but I don't think any of us really want to live in a society that doesn't offer any opportunity for fresh starts.
The other point is that I expect there are a number of other transgender medics in Australia - born here. So we have to work out accommodations and compromises that, so far as possible, respect all rights and allow people their dignity. For the most part, we can choose our doctors. The trashing of women's rights has been a shocking aspect of the recent 'trans rights' movement; but we mustn't trash others' rights or trample upon people's dignity, in the process of correcting those errors.
English

Australians should welcome Dr Beth Upton as we welcome so many other migrants who join our caring professions. Australia is the land of the fresh start. Dr Upton needs this after the adverse publicity of the case in Scotland. Dr Upton clearly said some silly things in the witness box under pressure. We all make mistakes. All doctors understand that there are some conditions that only women have and some that only men have. Dr Upton, I am sure, does not believe that one can self-identify into female medical conditions!
However, the warm Australian welcome has to be conditioned on Dr Upton allowing women, including nurses, their private spaces and respecting the fact that some female patients will not be comfortable being examined by a transfemale doctor. These are small concessions to ask, so that all rights are equally respected.@AusHumanRights; @RachaelWongAus;@rachelbaxendale.
