The GRA is not & has never been fit for purpose It's impossible to have effective safeguarding that protects children & women whilst men can hide their sex & previous names Passports, DBS & birth certificates + NHS records must record sex #RepealTheGRA petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7054…

“I can hardly bear to contain my fury that vulnerable women, who have already lost agency over their lives, can be almost offered up as sacrificial lambs in the dogged pursuit of a policy that is so obviously misguided.” Me on the trans prisoner row. holyrood.com/editors-column…

Bonkers. It’s imperative we know biological sex for medical treatment.

People often ask me why I speak publicly about grooming gangs and child sexual exploitation, and why I hold MPs to account regardless of party. This is why. In 1998, my teenage sister was abducted and subjected to hours of rapes and sodomy, he left her for dead. What was done to her changed the course of her life. She lives with severe mental illness and addiction, which are recognised consequences of prolonged childhood sexual trauma. She has received no meaningful, consistent support since the offence occurred. Because of that trauma, her children were removed from her care. I know this intimately, because I fostered two of them. They are my niece and nephews. Our family has lived with the impact of this crime for more than 27 years. The man responsible was convicted of multiple offences involving underage girls. At the time of sentencing, in open court, he shouted that he would come back and sexually assault every woman and child in our family. That threat was made while judgment was being passed. He was given a lengthy prison sentence. Since then, I have been repeatedly drawn back into the justice system through parole reviews. During the pandemic, Humberside Police’s serious crime unit contacted me to inform me he was again being considered for release. I provided a victim impact statement on my sister’s behalf, because she is not well enough to do so herself. What is less often understood is that the harm did not end with my sister. Because of the threats made in court, and further conduct over time, I required legal protection. A non-molestation order and an exclusion zone were put in place to protect me, my children, and other women in our family. I am now also formally recognised as a victim of his actions. After serving over two decades in custody, he was released and then recalled to prison within months for breaching his licence conditions. He is currently back in custody. I am never told the full details. I am simply summoned again, year after year, to repeat the same process. This is not a political position I have adopted. This is not something I have joined late. This is my family’s lived reality. This is why I speak. This is why I refuse silence. This is why safeguarding and accountability matter to me. When I talk about child sexual exploitation, I am not speculating. I am describing a life my family has lived for more than two decades. My position is clear. Life should mean life, I will continue to fight for life without parole for child rapists.

A violent man claims to be a woman and is moved to a women’s prison He is now on trial for raping two women in prison I hold everyone that parrots ‘transwomen are women’ responsible for this You have all enabled this

Shocking.

The implications of this latest code for women and girls is simply terrifying. The Taliban however have understood, and understood correctly, that no one will stop them. Will the international community prove them wrong? And if so when?

The group gathering signatures for an open letter to call on orgs, MPs, etc. to not use the term, "Biological Sex," has a glossary of transphobic terms with explainers as to why they are "harmful." If you need cheering up, it's well worth a read. tacc.org.uk/expanded-gloss…

And given most of the people opposing strongly to surrogacy are women (because you know they might just have more insight into pregnancy and mother-baby things than men 🙄) to characterise opposition to surrogacy as “emotional”, smells a great deal like dismissive misogyny.

Wherever there is a loophole in legislation protecting women you can be sure a man will find it. If single-sex policies are not enforced the opportunities will be exploited. That's as sure as death and taxes. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Just your Sunday morning reminder that covert cameras in toilets, connected to the internet for the viewing of all, are not a myth. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Oh this is wonderful isn't it. He is now pretending that allowing female players to have their own category, for females only is "misogyny" Why are so many so prepared to beclown themselves so readily for tra**vestites? x.com/IanKennedyCK/s…

How can someone as politically astute as John Swinney allow the row over trans women in the female prison estate to become an election issue, asks @holyroodmandy bit.ly/4afl0fx

" I can hardly bear to contain my fury that vulnerable women, who have already lost agency over their lives, can be almost offered up as sacrificial lambs in the dogged pursuit of a policy that is so obviously misguided." Spot on @holyroodmandy !

oting intention by **sex**

@Jonnywsbell There are no trans children- just confused and misled children. As a paediatrician you have a duty not to lie to them. You know a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy

“As we have increasingly come to expect, women and girls are being treated as secondary subsets of our own sex. Only women menstruate and experience systems of menopause. It is not only wildly inaccurate to suggest that men go through some sort of ‘pseudo menopause’ but deeply insulting to the hundreds of thousands of women, in Scotland, who experience debilitating menopause symptoms annually.” thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

@ShrewsburyWomen @fairplaywomen Prps it was the cleaner who put it there?

@fairplaywomen @leakylike This is a man's crime but you have to wonder about the restaurant's cleaning routine. Anyone cleaning the toilet would spot this.

Secret camera found in restaurant loos in Leicester. This type of thing can ruin a good business. Another reason why companies need clear and robust policies to keep all men out of the women’s toilets. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@IanKennedyCK @sualbu No-one has a 'gender identity'. Being asked to prove one is as ludicrous as being asked to prove one's 'aura'. Neither exist. But sex is real, and easily proved. It's observed & recorded at birth. And like sports doping tests, it also can be confirmed, if required.
