Prof Michael Biggs and Dr Ace North @hedgehognothog Transgender Homicides in Britain, 2000-2025: Victims and Perpetrators "Almost all cases involved natal males identifying as transwomen. The victim-perpetrator ratio among these individuals closely resembles that for males overall and differs markedly from that for females. BBC News published more than four times as many articles on transgender victims as on perpetrators, contributing to perceptions of exceptional vulnerability." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@Mumoftwo1329 @PaulEmbery @HJoyceGender That external provider needs scrutiny. Alert Ofsted: this is not education.

@PaulEmbery @HJoyceGender My children’s school shared resources from an external provider with parents in advance of teaching a PSHE lesson. Freedom of expression = bullying according to them.

Helping no.2 child with GCSE ‘Citizenship’ revision. Get a load of this.

A Canadian LGBTQ+ Pride leader has been found guilty of 7 counts of sex trafficking. Jake Tucker, who also performed as a drag queen under the name "Anita Goodickyn," was said to have drugged and tased the women he forced into prostitution. reduxx.info/canada-innisfi…

Another Pride organiser for you

@Mschatnoir disturbing

A kind and loving trans women enters a forum for support for women's endermetreosis..claiming he of course has it...and proceeds to insult and abuse the women..THATS the real reason he's there...the women who suck up = validation wank, the women who put him straight allows him to hate on women (his true nature) the only solution is to completely avoid them and do no interact sadly..

@dobssi @mara_yamauchi @BBCRadio4 @sharrond62 She's not trying to bring down Parkrun, she's just asking that they uphold fairness. Naturally, it can't be policed, but they don't encourage people to lie or cheat in age categories, so why do it for sex?

@RayAlexWilliams @HassanMamdani Then you're debating with yourself.

@HassanMamdani you're not even smart enough to know the debate isn't about the sex binary

The question, “What is a woman?” admits several layers of analysis: First, collectively, how do we define the English term, “woman,” in various social and legal contexts? Notice this is not strictly a scientific question. Science uses validated constructs like “female/male” to study empirical reality with collective and public operational definitions i.e. scientists for the most part know how to measure femaleness/maleness in validated methods. But notice the first question involves a philosophical choice: we have a choice about whether to define the English term “woman” to refer to the same thing as the scientific construct “female.” Historically, in English, this IS how the word was used implicitly. Because it was a useful way of using language (and still is for the most part.) The pragmatic school of philosophy asks the fundamental question of not whether a definition or concept is “true” but whether the concept is useful: the truth value cashes out in whatever is useful for your given context. And clearly the scientific context is conceptually distinct from social and legal contexts, though they obviously intersect in important ways when thinking about practical social policies like sex segregated spaces. But this is why the TRA vs GC debate is essentially pointless: each side screams at each other about “facts”; but we are not going to conclusively settle the debate about what is a woman by going out into the world with a microscope: it’s fundamentally a philosophical question which necessarily must remain unsettled as empirical facts never truly settle actual philosophical questions. The key question for society going forward is: are there new pragmatic contexts for having an additional (but not replacement) definition operate in society to accommodate passable transsexuals who blend pretty well into certain female social roles?

yep

@BramhamAlex @PeterTatchell @MothinAli Or is he biting his tongue and biding his time?

@PeterTatchell @MothinAli @MothinAli has demonstrated exceptional decency in remaining true to his deeply held religious beliefs without expressing hatred or judgement towards LGB or trans people. He has my respect for that.

What are Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali's policies LGBT+ issues? During his campaign in 2025 for the deputy leadership, Ali declined to express support for LGBT+ rights To clear the air, @MothinAli needs to make a public statement asap thepinknews.com/2026/05/01/gre…

@zarahussain999 @djgibbo71 @PeterTatchell @MothinAli We're not talking about Zak [sic]: we're talking about Ali, who is also elected. Zack Polanski is a con-artist who persuaded women to give him money by telling them he could hypnotise them into bigger breasts. So, yeah, it's the whole party we need to know about.

@djgibbo71 @PeterTatchell @MothinAli Zak is the leader and he’s an openly gay man.

@zarahussain999 @PeterTatchell @MothinAli Absolutely you are: just make your opinions public if you're asking the public to vote for you.

@PeterTatchell @MothinAli Why does he need to make a public statement? Why aren’t we entitled to our own opinions?

@PeterTatchell @MothinAli Wow, Peter Tatchell has posted something I support

@ZackPolanski Careful, here, Zack "BigTits4U" Polanski: you're going for the Muslim block vote, remember: tread that fine line very carefully. All I know about you is that you're happy to con dimwitted people out of their money for your own sordid profit: you're a con-artist, mate.

Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes. Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.

@snarky_mk @nickwallis Is this all you have? Pretty desperate stuff, mate; really, very desperate of you.

@nickwallis Another one for Graham Linehan’s collection, or did he stop collection photos of Sophia Brooks when she turned 18?

Despite leaving late, I have managed to turn up early to Southwark Crown Court to cover day two of the Crown versus Graham Linehan, round two. This is a Stephanie Hayden and a well disguised individual making their way towards court this morning.

@nickwallis Great posting as ever, Nick: thank you.

the top of this thread. Thanks so much to everyone who has supported my reporting on this and other stories in this area over the last few days. I'll get the report up on genderblog.net asap

This is Tweet Thread Three of Day Two of Graham Linehan's appeal against his conviction for criminal damage of a mobile phone at Southwark Crown Court. We are at lunch on something of a cliffhanger, but if you want to start at the beginning, do so here: x.com/nickwallis/sta…

Well, well, well. These vexatious types keep getting it handed to them.

We therefore find Mr Linehan Not Guilty of criminal damage and the appeal against the conviction of Nov 2025 is therefore allowed.

Excellent thread. My only point of disagreement is that I feel rather more confident than Akua that wearing giant prosthetic breasts at work (or indeed anywhere else) is "conduct of a sexual nature." I honestly can't think what on earth it would be.

@ChantAngle64 @KateCommonsense @_bezpilotnik @helenstaniland You're cleverer than me: good for you. What was the very good point made?

@blinksore @KateCommonsense @_bezpilotnik @helenstaniland Oh Christ. You’re dead thick then?

No, by deliberately wearing a massive pair of fake breasts in order to provoke a reaction. Knowing that most undergraduate women will find it very uncomfortable and that some men like you will defend him.
