@dettybo @GrumpygrumpsT @Nipper_BT So cute 🥰

Er boys that is MY spot! @GrumpygrumpsT @Nipper_BT #BTPosse #BorderTerrier #PuppyTails

@dettybo I think the Republic of Ireland would be quite cross at being considered British, but your point perfect, and all of those have regional accents within that would definitely blow the minds of these morons 🙄. It grinds my gears every fucking time I hear it.

It's a fucking ENGLISH accent you fuckwits, or Northern Irish or Southern Irish or Scottish or Welsh

Thus proving the misogyny problem. “The women don’t like a man speaking for them? Pffft, ignore ‘em.”

Because the bbc chose a male out of all the millions of women in the uk to talk about misogyny on women’s hour ! Sometimes I really think we’re through the looking glass! It’s hard not to think they now do it deliberately.. it’s as if they hate women

'Trans rapist who 'robbed' girls of innocence jailed for nine years' BBC Scotland are well practised at neutral language but we should be at the point of not bothering with neutrality at all now. He doesn't deserve it, and he doesn't deserve to be hidden from the 'transgender people' page. The page used to be just called 'transgender' but it was changed about six years ago (when transactivism at the BBC was immensely powerful) to 'transgender people' - because of the push towards 'human story, lived experience, we're not a debate, we are people' schtick. Calling it 'transgender people' also reaffirmed that there is such a thing, when really there are just males and females with various habits and behaviours. However that nominal change is even more of a reason why these grim cases should be on that page. The story's about a 'transgender' man, and his lived experience of sexually assaulting and raping children, and only getting nine years in prison. Stories about transgender sexual criminals are routinely hidden under a local tag. This is not just hidden from the trans page, it's hidden from the 'sexual violence' page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c1…, from the violence against women page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c3…, from the child abuse page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c4… from the crime page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cl… and from the child protection page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cz… and the LGBT page bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cp… They have to report it, but they'd rather as few people as possible see it bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Yet another example of the phase out of ‘Women/girls’. Yes, M&S are trying to side step the Equality Act and it stinks. Why has being a woman had to become a ‘compromise’? Why do we have to share our spaces with men, in whatever state they are in? When has that ever been ok? Why are men’s feelings more important and protected than mine?

@WomensRightsNet @Kent_cc @NorfolkCC @medway_council = we will do absolutely nothing unless we’re forced to, followed by lots of proud to be inclusive. Shame they can’t be proud of complying with the law, or protecting and supporting women and girls.

The Waiting Shame. Not only are @Kent_cc and @NorfolkCC dragging their feet on complying with the law since the Supreme Court judgment, they are telling women that if they dare challenge a man in their spaces, this will not be tolerated. Is it as any wonder that so many women are afraid to speak out? They are telling us very clearly who matters - and who doesn’t. …6-400d-9bf4-401a61daaa40.usrfiles.com/ugd/a86851_f6a…

Women do not expect these unions to come into battle for you. So stop paying their salery. Find unions that value women’s rights

‘When Bethany Hutchison first emailed her union, she didn’t get a reply. A month later, legal case underway, she discovered the truth: the union was representing the man they had complained about. ‘She was abandoned the moment she needed Unison’s support’ spiked-online.com/2026/01/20/how…

In the Darlington nurses case, @unisontheunion had a duty to stand by and represent women. This statement tells you all you need to know: not a single mention of women or their right to single-sex spaces, despite women making up 75% of its membership. unison.org.uk/news/article/2…

@jan_murray @Unisonsouthwark @unisontheunion @unisontheunion treats women as if we’re the support humans for pathetic men. And for that they can go fuck themselves.

I am a committed trade unionist of 35 years standing. I am proud of everything the trade union movement has achieved throughout history. But its abandonment of women fighting to defend their sex-based rights makes me ashamed. Whenever there is a successful tribunal or court result for women - such as today, with the Darlington nurses - mainstream unions are nowhere to be seen. And invariably they lament the outcome. Women are being forced to rely on the Free Speech Union and Christian groups to fight their corner. It’s an utter disgrace.

@jk_rowling I’ve never seen governments fight for anything as hard as they fight for men to use women’s bathrooms.

This government tells us in one breath that it wants to stamp out misogyny, and in the next that it will be fighting in the Supreme Court to remove women’s and girls’ rights to single-sex spaces.

As you’re fighting to remove our daughters’ rights to the privacy and safety of single-sex bathrooms and changing rooms, while poised to allow the unethical puberty blockers trial, perhaps children should be protected from @UKLabour.

If you call yourself a “trans woman,” here’s what I know about you: You’re a man. I don’t know what your motivations are, I don’t know if you’re harmless, I don’t know if you “sincerely feel like a woman.” I just know you are a man. And I know that, as a man, you possess things like larger arm length, grip strength, muscle mass, lung capacity and airway size than I do. I know all of those things mean that you are faster, stronger, and physiologically more powerful than me. I know those things mean that if we competed in just about any sport, you’d win. I also know those things mean 95% of men (even on cross sex hormones) are physiologically capable of killing 90% of women USING ONLY THEIR BARE HANDS. I don’t know if you are the type of man who would do something like that. But I do know that AS A MAN, you have a statistically higher risk of harming me or my daughter than a woman does. And that we have a lower chance of being able to defend ourselves, if you decide to. I know that trans identifying men have the same—or higher—statistical crime rates and patterns as other men. I know that there is NO EMPIRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST beyond “trust me bro” that can clinically demonstrate that you’re different or safer than any other man. You might be a lovely person. You might never hurt a fly. You might be a totally awesome human being. Lots of men are. But I can’t know those things any more than I can know if you’re a predator, unless we know each other for a while. And, as A WOMAN, I have had to grow up mentally gauging the threat level of EVERY MAN in my vicinity. Being aware. Being careful. Being tuned into my instincts. Not because I’m paranoid. Not because I’m a “bigot” or “sexist.” But because there’s a 1 in 4 chance that I’ve been raped. There’s a 1 in 3 chance I’ve been physically assaulted by an intimate partner. There’s a 1 in 2 chance that I’ve been physically assaulted by ANY MAN over my lifetime. You know what those statistics (and the fact that you, as a “trans woman,” hold exactly the same statistical criminality patterns as other men) mean? I don’t have the LUXURY of assuming you’re different. And you haven’t done ANYTHING to prove that you are. You want to live in a world where women don’t treat you as a possible threat? Where you don’t feel that wariness from us? Then maybe you should care about all that, respect the boundaries set up for our physical safety and fairness, and take action to make this world safer for women and girls—instead of dismantling every safeguard that's keeping those statistics from being even higher. In other words, you should try to PROTECT women. Because you want to know the easiest way to tell good men from bad ones? Good men do EXACTLY that.

@dettybo I couldn’t sleep through it, we lost several tiles and a large tree in the garden blew down across the neighbour’s garden 🫢

Boy now I feel old, I remember this. We only lost one roof tile & most of the household slept through it. School was shut for weeks though!
