@BBCNews When you say transgender girls what you mean is boys in dresses

A retrospective of Henri Matisse’s late work opened at the Grand Palais, called 'Matisse 1941-1954,' and showcases more than 300 pieces from his prolific final years

If you previously followed them and even if you didn't, here they are back up and running. Thoughtful Therapists.

The hospital in Zaporizhia, Ukraine. Because of the russian terrorism.

In February 1918, when the Zeppelin raids on London began, air raids were still something of a novelty and people had to find refuge where they could. William Nicholson's painting is of the ballroom at the Piccadilly Hotel, one of the first steel-framed buildings in London.

It's taken 105 years but the Football Association has at last apologised for barring women’s teams from all FA grounds from 1921 to 1971. Last week a film about the Manchester Corinthians - a women’s team that achieved huge success, despite the ban, premiered at the Manchester Film Festival, and a campaign by the Manchester Evening News led to the @FA apology. The FA said: ”We are sorry that a ban on women’s football was introduced in 1921 and not revoked until 1971. We recognise the courage of the teams and individuals who continued to play the game during this period.” We hope it won’t take as long for the FA and other sport’s governing bodies to apologise for allowing males to self-identify into women’s teams…

I’m not just being snarky, there is a real and timely opportunity for the Cubs and Scouts to reach out to the boys being kicked out of the Brownies and Guides to welcome them.

@Mr_Husky1 You know the answer. You don’t need strangers on X to tell you. It’s horrible to cancel a wedding. But it’s 100 times worse to have to extricate yourself from a marriage - and to lose much of your inheritance as well.

Sick and tired of these cretins who say they don’t believe the M&S changing room images are recent. Here is a vid taken today at Shoreham M&S that proves they have a dedicated Men’s fitting room but no dedicated Women’s one (proof of date at end of vid). @MForstater @SexMattersOrg

If you have to deny it…….. The point is rather the question is asked in the first place given this was the occasion for the first ever use of the Scotland Act section 35 stop at the instigation of Kemi Badenoch

A fair question:

A misunderstanding. Girls in Scouts are there as girls, not pretend boys. Different case, different argument.

“Jacob is an ethical man and a highly experienced clinician-scientist with an admirable career record… It is a matter of deep regret that any dedicated scientist should have their actions politicised in the way that has happened recently in the media,” Tallon said.

The MHRA has published an email sent to all staff by its CEO, concerning the Pathways puberty blocker trial. Lawrence Tallon states his support for Prof Jacob George, who recused himself from any involvement in the trial over social media posts made before he joined the agency.

Wandering around Blackwell’s in Oxford & spotted the best seller ‘The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht.’💜 @LucyHunterB @DalgetySusan

“‘Pregnant women’ is not a fringe or controversial term. TfL should end its insulting pandering to gender activists and return to accurate, everyday, sex-based language.” @HJoyceGender on Transport for London refusing to mention “women” in its “babies on board” badge update.

“It’s devastating that Girlguiding has decided to comply with the law” I think it’s devastating that an MP is describing compliance (albeit a bit slow) as weaponisation. Worse yet is an MP suggesting that the government produce guidance which contradicts the law
