@j_bettany @bindelj But for a quick overview of why as a socialist feminist I reject POMO gender identity ideology you cant top Amanda MacLean's excellent article "A World Without Gender" weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1330/a-…

It is the biggest medical scandal of our time. The sooner wider society realises the horrors we have been visiting on young people the sooner it will stop. Then there should be prosecutions.

Your walk is physically growing your brain. That’s not a metaphor. Every year after 50, your brain’s memory region shrinks by about 1-2%. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh put 120 older adults into two groups. One walked 40 minutes a day, three days a week, for a full year. The other just stretched. Brain scans showed the walkers’ memory region grew by 2%, undoing one to two years of shrinkage. The stretching group shrank by another 1.4%. It changes how you think too. Stanford tested 176 people on creative tasks while sitting and then while walking. Creative output jumped 60%. Even on a treadmill facing a blank wall. Every single person who walked outside produced at least one strong original idea, while only half the seated group managed it. The boost stuck around even after they sat back down. A 2024 review in the British Medical Journal looked at 218 studies and found that walking and jogging worked about as well as antidepressants for depression. For people already dealing with clinical depression, a separate analysis of 75 studies found the benefit was about 4x what it was for everyone else. You don’t even need 10,000 steps. That number came from a 1960s Japanese marketing campaign for a pedometer, not from any medical study. When researchers tracked over 226,000 people, every extra 1,000 steps per day lowered the risk of early death. Around 9,000 steps a day is enough to cut that risk by 39%. A pair of shoes and a door. No prescription needed.

“Women are forbidden from ­relationships with other women in prison, so why are relationships with men not only tolerated but accommodated? Even worse, we don’t know if women are being coerced or forced into sex with male prisoners.” dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Wood anemones in my local wood. Often known as the windflower, the plant is named after the Greek word for wind, anemos. Some legends suggest that anemone flowers sprung up where Aphrodite’s tears fell as she wept over the death of her lover, Adonis.

A transgender academic will be among those reworking the UK's psychotherapy ethics guidelines, despite having no qualifications in the field. Sophie Grace Chappell once said that it "wouldn't matter" if gender ideology led to more women being murdered. reduxx.info/uk-transgender…

@TaniaAMarshall Yup .. that’s the one I was commenting on re being genuine:) I love these challenges that you set 🥰

@Slipstream60 Facing you, the R one is genuine due to Duchenne marker, curled smile up into cheeks and the sparkle in the eyes

👀 By popular request, here is your next faces test. They both look happy OR do they? Which one is *genuinely* happy? Why? Good luck🤞🏼 👀

This is not how you free a nation

@martinshawx @BBC @Channel4News “The BBC is the most refined propaganda service in the world. Double standards & repression, doctoring information, an extension of establishment control.” John Pilger (1939-2023) Australian journalist, writer, scholar & documentary film maker:

The rebellion against the UK’s role supporting the illegal US destruction of Iran is growing. Time perhaps for @BBC and @Channel4News to cover this and question Starmer’s lie that the UK is not involved?

Wow. This is the research that every single country including the UK should have been doing. 'psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment'

I stand by my assertion that a man who publicly posts that women should be fucked with a rolling pin for disagreeing with him, is urging corrective rape. I will await the BSB decision with interest and defend myself as ever, robustly. These men must learn that this kind of public threat is unacceptable. That they make criticism of it a regulatory matter is bizarre but shows how deeply their expected protection has been embedded. Enough.

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1

TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren. No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!

Laura Bates, over 10 years ago: there’s a misogyny crisis in schools - our young boys are being radicalised. We need to do something or it will get really dark for our girls and female teachers. Society: Stupid feminists making a fuss over boys being boys. Who even cares what hairy legged man haters say 🤷‍♂️ ———- A man makes a documentary barely skimming the surface: 🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️‼️‼️‼️📢📢📢📢 Society: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR BOYS!!! IT’S AN EMERGENCY!

Most people assume that if the NHS needs more specialist doctors, the Government would train more of them. But that’s not actually what’s happening. The Government can decide how many specialist training jobs exist each year. They can increase them, reduce them, or remove them entirely. These numbers are a political decision. So when the Government removes 1,000 future NHS specialist training jobs, that is an active choice to have 1,000 fewer future NHS specialists. That means fewer potential radiologists reading scans. Fewer potential surgeons doing operations. Fewer potential anaesthetists running theatres. Fewer potential psychiatrists and GPs seeing patients. At a time when waiting lists are in the millions and patients are waiting months or years to see specialists, the Government has actively chosen to reduce the number of future specialists. That doesn’t just punish doctors. It punishes patients and the NHS as a whole, because it means fewer potential specialists and longer waits in the future. And the most concerning part is why this happened. These training jobs were discussed in the context of negotiations with doctors. That means specialist training jobs, and therefore future NHS specialists, were being treated as something that could be added or removed depending on whether doctors accepted Government terms. That is not workforce planning. That is using future NHS specialists as leverage. The Government can create more NHS specialists if it wants to. It can reduce waiting lists faster if it wants to. It can train more doctors if it wants to. Yet they’ve chosen not to. This was a political choice that this Labour Government have made. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/04/the-go…

@ZackPolanski says trans people were excluded from the conversation when laws like the Equality Act and Gender Recognition Act were created. That simply isn’t true. The Gender Recognition Act 2004 was introduced specifically because of transgender legal cases and activism, and the Equality Act 2010 was drafted after consultation with equality organisations including LGBT groups and Stonewall, and it explicitly included gender reassignment as a protected characteristic. The recent Supreme Court ruling did not remove trans rights and it did not create new law. It interpreted what Parliament meant by the word sex in the Equality Act. More Green Gaslighting

Terrifying revelation. A retired top US General exposes Pete Hegseth for firing the Army's Chief of Chaplains. He reveals these top generals were purged because they stood up against Hegseth's psychotic claim that US soldiers are fighting for Jesus. A nationalist takeover!

The inhumaity & racism of this statement on Sky is truly astonishing!

A female teacher said a student made AI naked images of her and other girls, which she labelled "horrifying". "Boys have confronted me, shouted at me. Have had boys joke about raping girls in front of me and laughed about it when challenged." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
