@people Surely they will hang him for this.

4 Toddlers Brutally Stabbed to Death at Preschool, 39-Year-Old Man Arrested people.com/4-toddlers-sta…

@TheRealJennCass @people I think in Uganda that is only for military personnel. I am sure they hang citizens found guilty of murder. So he should die.

@people WTF is wrong with people? Stabbing children, let alone babies? I vote for a firing squad. Just light him up like a Christmas Tree.

@GrumpyOW If he attempted suicide in July but something upsets them in August and September, that does not suddenly become the reason they attempted it to begin with. That makes it seem like they are using a suicide attempt as a weapon when it's needed.

Some questions for you: (Given that Molly has confirmed being 'Kate', I'm not sure why you've redacted the name) If Phillimore's 'harassment' was what led to SM attempting su*cide in 2024 (as claimed by Jolyon Maugham), why did SM post publicly about this attempt, citing as a cause: 1. JKR 2. Scottish Greens 3. The Scotsman but never blaming SP for this attempt (despite other posts about her)? And why did SM not mention this attempt in the initial complaint to the BSB? Before asking for more money from your supporters - how confident are you about your defamation defence?

@SVPhillimore What was the explicit image? A description is all that is needed, I don't want anyone to get into trouble for posting it.

My solicitors have now written to the Good Law Project to request disclosure of this proof, as was previously requested, it being central to what I assert is Mr Maugham’s defamation of me. I remain intrigued as to why this attempt was not pleaded in complaints made in 2024. As both Mr Weddell and the GLP chose to make their attempted trashing of my reputation public, my efforts to defend it will also be public and continuing.

@Just_ebube Jessie James too.

They’ve killed him o … just like that 😩😩 My chest 😭😭😭

@gcraven10 They better make sure it says "Conspiracy Theory About Queen Elizabeth 1" in the title then. What a waste of money.

@UrghWeirdWorld Yeah, they're doing Bisley Boy.

The sexism I can take in my stride, but the stupidity makes me understand why angry men like to punch holes in walls. If Anne Boleyn's baby is male and lives, absolutely none of what ensued would have happened. Elizabeth I's entire life story hangs on her being female.

@LucyHunterB @STVNews @courier_dundee I saw the tiktok explanation on another post and it makes no sense. If people send you child abuse images and you reported it, surely the police will have the report and the images. This would come up before you got to court. The excuse makes no sense.

@boswelltoday Hang on, if people have sent you child porn and you have been to the police to report that you have been sent it, they would have reports, they would have the images that you reported. Surely even if it is a different police force, it would take them no time to find out about it

Normally people go to ground after being convicted of such things. Not Brian. No siree. Apparently, the whole conviction is a ‘huge mistake’. ‘Even the Sheriff couldn’t understand it’ No shame whatsoever.

How would tou meet friends, if you don't go out to socialise? I moved from a big city to a small town 4 years ago. It's still not going nearly as well as I'd hoped. businessinsider.com/moved-to-small… via @businessinsider

@SophieM97713317 @helenstaniland Is it communities or is it the trans community.? Does terf now mean anti lgbtqia+, I thought it specifically meant anti trans?

@helenstaniland Terfs dont have a human right to demand people hate communities.

Boys don't have a human right to attend the girl guides.

@CzechMappingIV @Frogthistle @Busanitian @helenstaniland They are talking about the U.K.

@Frogthistle @Busanitian @helenstaniland Then stop commenting on American Organizations, where it does apply

I am telling you Cricket was killed because he saw too much. Kristi Noem silenced him.

@Winifunds Someone failed to bestow you with empathy.

God Never Fails ❤️

@mushycrouton @MaggieCotter5 Wait, does Terf now mean something more than transphobic women because I thought that was a specific title, I mean it's in the name right.? Would it not need an H like HTERF or TERFH?

Getting really fucking tired of terfs trying to dictate to gay people that they aren’t part of the LGBTQIA+ community The gall of these people to tell us that we’re separate from our own community is astounding You have to wonder why @MaggieCotter5 says this when she’s not gay

@fenixamy @speakoutsister So about 25 ish people could be exposed and banned from the next Olympics?

@UrghWeirdWorld @speakoutsister Based on historical averages, 1 in 420

There were NO trans women in the last Olympics. This is about stigmatising intersex women and calling them "men". It's them who will be hurt by this Ruth. You clearly don't care to the extent you call them '"men".

One of the worst things, I have ever heard. They even had a camera in the room and she tortured her own baby and the "father" knew it and removed their eldest daughter from the room. Some people really don't deserve to live. Baby Haedeun. youtu.be/NJo_p-PcGwU?si…

@JFr4ser @prof_curiosity1 Oh wow. I my friends kid was separated but to be fair, there were 4 girls, so it's easier to keep 4 together than 1. So the scouts have not had any issues with people wanting changes like the girl guides.

@UrghWeirdWorld @prof_curiosity1 Separation of the sexes should be consistent for both. My girl was frequently the only girl in her troop for periods of time and across different levels of scouting. In very early Scouts (aged 10) she shared a tent with boys for a February camp because either that or miss out

Girl Guides and the Single Sex Question: What Child Development and Safeguarding Tell Us (longish post) Girl Guides exists as a single sex organisation for a reason grounded not in prejudice but in developmental science. The research on adolescent girls consistently shows that dedicated single sex environments support confidence, risk taking, and identity formation in ways that mixed environments do not, particularly during the years when girls are navigating the social pressures of puberty and early adolescence. Removing the single sex character of those spaces does not leave them neutral. It changes them in ways that the developmental evidence suggests are meaningful. The safeguarding concern is straightforward and does not require any claim about the intentions of individual children. Safeguarding frameworks are designed to manage risk at a population level, not to make judgements about individuals. Single sex overnight environments, changing facilities, and residential trips carry specific safeguarding protocols that depend on the single sex character of the group. When a child who is biologically male is included in those environments on the basis of a self reported gender identity, those protocols are compromised in ways that any competent safeguarding review would flag. The 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling, which confirmed that woman and sex in the Equality Act refer to biological sex, reinforces the legal basis for maintaining those boundaries. The developmental harm to girls at this stage of their lives is not incidental. It goes to the heart of what single sex provision is for. Adolescence is the period in which girls are forming their understanding of themselves as female, navigating the physical changes of puberty, developing the capacity for intimacy and trust with peers of the same sex, and beginning to construct the adult identity that Erikson describes as the central developmental task of this life stage. The research on single sex environments consistently finds that girls in those settings show greater willingness to take intellectual and social risks, report higher levels of comfort with their own developing bodies, and demonstrate stronger peer relationships built on the specific solidarity of shared female experience. Those benefits depend on the space actually being what it presents itself as being. When a biologically male child is present in that space, the girls in it are placed in a position that the developmental literature does not support and that safeguarding guidance does not anticipate. They are asked to manage the presence of a biological male in changing rooms, on overnight trips, and in the intimate social environment of a group that exists precisely to give them respite from mixed sex social pressure. They are asked to do this at the developmental moment when bodily privacy, peer trust, and the consolidation of a female identity are most significant. And they are asked to do it without their consent having been sought, and frequently without their parents having been informed. The schema formation argument drawn from Bem's work is relevant here: girls at this stage are actively constructing their understanding of what it means to be female, and an environment that systematically blurs the boundary between female and male does not loosen those schemas in a liberating way. It introduces confusion into a developmental process that requires clarity and safety to proceed well. There is also a relational dimension that deserves attention. Bowlby and Fonagy establish that the capacity for secure peer attachment depends on environments that are predictable, boundaried, and safe. An environment in which the boundaries of membership are uncertain, in which girls may not know whether a peer is biologically male or female, and in which raising a concern is socially costly, is not an environment that supports secure attachment or genuine peer intimacy. The harm is not dramatic or visible. It is the quieter harm of a developmental environment that has been subtly but significantly altered at a moment when its character matters most. The developmental concern for the boys themselves is less often discussed and deserves equal attention. Erikson and Marcia show that identity formation is a developmental achievement of adolescence requiring a genuine period of exploration and moratorium. A boy who is socially affirmed in a cross sex identity from an early age, placed in environments that reinforce that identity, and supported by institutional structures that treat the identity as settled, is a child whose developmental moratorium has been foreclosed before it properly began. The desistance literature, reporting resolution rates of sixty to ninety percent in pre-affirmation era cohorts depending on cohort and methodology, suggests that the majority of children expressing cross sex identification would, given time and space, arrive at a different understanding of themselves. Institutional social affirmation in single sex spaces of the other sex is not a neutral accommodation. It is an active intervention in a developmental process that the evidence suggests should not be foreclosed. There is also the Winnicottian dimension, and it deserves more than a passing reference. Winnicott's account of the False Self describes a developmental pattern in which a child, faced with an environment that makes belonging conditional on performing a particular identity, learns to present that identity fluently and consistently. The performance does not feel like performance. It feels entirely authentic, because the child has no access to the True Self that the compliance dynamic has suppressed. The False Self is not a mask the child knowingly wears. It is a structure the child has built in order to survive an environment that could not tolerate what lay beneath. The boy who joins Girl Guides as a girl is in precisely that environment. His belonging is conditional. It depends on the sustained presentation of a "female identity", affirmed by the institution, reinforced by every interaction within it, and socially costly to question or relinquish. The longer that environment persists, and the more significant the attachments formed within it, the more firmly the False Self structure is consolidated. The child is not being helped to discover who he is. He is being helped to become more fluent in a presentation that the institution requires. What makes this particularly serious from a developmental perspective is that the harm is invisible from the outside and unfelt from the inside, at least while the compliance dynamic holds. The boy will report that he is comfortable, that he belongs, that the identity is real. That is exactly what Winnicott's model predicts. The False Self is a successful adaptation. It works. The cost is paid later, when the True Self, having been suppressed through the years in which identity formation should have been occurring, eventually reasserts itself, often in the form of the acute distress that characterises detransition accounts. Those accounts, which describe not simply a change of mind but a profound sense of having been absent from one's own development, map with considerable precision onto the clinical picture Winnicott describes. None of this requires hostility toward any individual child. The appropriate response to a boy experiencing gender related distress is compassionate, thorough clinical assessment, careful attention to the possibility of underlying anxiety, attachment difficulties, or social factors, and the kind of watchful, patient support that allows development to proceed at its own pace. Placing that child in a single sex environment organised around an affirmed female identity does not provide that support. It provides the conditions in which a False Self consolidates, development forecloses, and the reckoning is deferred to a point when it will be considerably harder to bear.

@JonesSianad @nativistconcern @Kornstalx @jk_rowling I have never heard anyone say what he did, I mean, wtf?

@UrghWeirdWorld @nativistconcern @Kornstalx @jk_rowling He is a racist bigot. Dont give him any time.

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@KateBMwriting I know I said this in another post, but if this is the first time that the kid has been told "girls only" they must use the girls toilets at school or changing room for P.E. If they didn't do that then surely the kid would have heard someone say "no girls only"

If you are telling your six year old son that cutting off his penis will turn him into a girl, you are a danger to children. Unbelievable that the Observer presents the parents’ bizarre complaints uncritically.
