Sparkle The Cat

@theresaverity Have you sought help for your hyperbolic disorder?

So, now that you've murdered the kids with debilitating gender incongruence or forced them to become criminals, all-but destroyed trans healthcare across the UK, banned trans people from public facilities and destroyed the Equality Act, what's next? Torture camps or injections?

@Jebadoo2 Its incredibly easy to be generous with someone else's rights, safety and privacy

1/ Yet again, the BBC frame this issue as an emotive plea for personal liberty and understanding. This is legally illiterate and glosses over the fact that trans activists seek the complete destruction of the category of sex in law with all the implications that has. Such as...

@WillietheFly @indyscotnews As long as she keeps denying and telling stories she's still poisoning.

@SparkleTheCat3 @indyscotnews Past tense. Has poisoned the well, salted the earth too.

SNP, please read this Dear SNP – make no mistake, I am very angry at you. Ten years of smug arrogance, a tin ear and a god complex have done incalculable harm to the cause of independence and you deserve what is happening to you. But while I have to do… ift.tt/fnSI41X

@DrPamGosal @ForWomenScot @WWWheesht Well done Glasgow Caledonia

This is shameful 😡 It's been more than a year since the @ForWomenScot Supreme Court ruling, and only ONE Scottish University seems to be following the law. Well done to @WWWheesht for carrying out this research 💜🤍💚 scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

@ProfPMiddleton Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness.

I suspect the obsession with Nicola Sturgeon will in time to come be diagnosed as a genuine medical disorder.

@KirstieMAllsopp If you are saying we should be accepting of masculine women and feminine men, of course. However, nobody changes sex and it would be kinder for people to understand that.

@RorgViking Daisy you're gorgeous 😍

Oh by the way, Daisy days hi👋 Meant to post earlier, that's why the sun is out.

@GenderReceipts @Dawn_French You go first Dawn....

Not only does that sicko @Dawn_French want perverted men in spaces with vulnerable women & girls, she also wants other vulnerable people killed?

@paulbsinclair His face is like corned beef here, how is John's blood pressure?

Simon Johnson is superb here. John Swinney….not so much.

@Mattisamazing33 Hope you're having the best time. Love the cat

The last couple of days

@trailtreaderxx @hall_ej @itsafrogslife Most parkrunners don't realise that female is a mixed-sex category. Sometimes people ask why we are wearing SWS shirts & are shocked to hear that men can identify into the female category and hold 100s of female 1st places/ records. "Perfect happiness" destroyed by information.

@Gaynotqueer1 Time to find a new church.

A church in England has snarkily told their female parishioners that if they feel unsafe using the women's toilets with men, they should request a volunteer or clergy to wait outside their stall.

@RussellFindlay1 Scots law of reset "Acquisition: You can even be convicted if you acquired an item in good faith but subsequently discover it was stolen and then decide to keep it"

@JocastaMoney Evidently I was too well padded. Had to wriggle out alone as changing room opened onto shop and it was my son, not my daughter with me couldnt ask him in for help

@JocastaMoney Once got stuck in a dress in Phase Eight. Evid

One thing forgotten about the mixed sex changing room discussion is how vulnerable women feel trying on clothes. Even slim women often feel self conscious. It can be quite a traumatic experience, especially with those that don't quite fit. To have it confirmed that yes, actually, you have put weight on, it's not just an unflattering camera angle, the scales weren't lying. Women, have you ever got stuck and needed to call for assitance? The embarassment of having to call through the curtains for help with a garment over your face? I'd ask the same from men. Have you ever suffered the indignity if getting stuck trying on clothes? No, it just does not happen, mens clothes are not built like that. With online retail threatening the high street, the one unique selling point for actuak shops is that you can try before you buy. Why are so many retailers plonking a bunch of random blokes in that space? I can only think it is a result of the male blindspot to women's needs. That men in corporate office made this change without understabding how their cusomers might feel. Shops like @marksandspencer need to realise their core demographic are middle aged women. Women who are often struggling with their weight and that infamous spread. Women who are used to feeling that the changing room is a safe space. Even a female bonding space. As embarassing as it may be to call for help, in a wierd way it's also a bonding ritual. It reminds women that we share a common thread, and that getting trapped in a dress because you eat too much cake is something we have probably all done at one point. This is before we even consider how women with sexual trauma or how those who come from more modest cultures feel. We don't need to buy their clothes. Its time we women learned that they need us more than we need them.

@NoContextBrits Gives me the heebie jeebies

There was a king of Spain whose jaw stuck out so far his teeth couldn't meet. His tongue was so big he could barely talk. He had seizures. He looked like an old man at 30 and died childless at 39. His entire family had been marrying their cousins for nearly 200 years. His name was Charles II, the last of the Habsburgs. And he is the textbook case scientists still point to when explaining why countries ban cousin marriages. The Habsburgs ran most of Europe in that period, and they refused to marry outside the family. Uncles married nieces. First cousins married each other. Royals kept marrying back into the same bloodline, generation after generation, to keep the crown in the family. Spanish scientists eventually pieced together the family tree to see what this did to their DNA. They tracked 3,000 people across 16 generations. They calculated something called an inbreeding score. It measures how much of your DNA ends up in two identical copies because both your parents inherited it from the same ancestor. A normal person scores almost zero. Philip I, the dynasty's founder, scored 0.025. Charles II, born about five generations later, scored 0.254. That is the same score a child would get if their parents were brother and sister. Every person quietly carries a few broken genes. They usually don't cause problems, because the matching copy from your other parent works fine. But when both your parents come from the same closed family tree, you start inheriting the same broken copies from both sides. Nothing cancels them out. They start showing up. About a quarter of Charles's DNA was identical pairs of these broken genes, which is why his body fell apart. He couldn't have children. When he died in 1700 with no heir, every kingdom in Europe started fighting over who would inherit Spain. The war that followed killed an estimated 700,000 people. A UK study followed 11,000 babies and found the same pattern. Children born to first cousins were twice as likely to have a birth defect, 6% versus 3%. Norway banned cousin marriage in 2024. Sweden's ban takes effect July 1, 2026. The Habsburgs ran this experiment over three centuries ago, and the science has been clear ever since.

@Mark1957 They are a spectators frame im sure. I have the same ones

A Long Shot I found this pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses lying in the kerb just off Woodlands Road - they're very strong so must be prescription glasses which can be expensive I suspect the chances of finding the owner via X are very small, but here goes nothing! Photo below
