Let Clothes Be Clothes

We are calling on the UK government to require all schools in England to adopt a gender-neutral uniform policy. Our new report - out today. School Uniform: Dressing Girls to Fail (2021) @GavinWilliamson @AngelaRayner @MikeAmesburyMP letclothesbeclothes.co.uk/girls-school-u…

Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

@kevinlaughlin @profoundluck @Telegraph I don't think Kevin really exists.

@profoundluck @Telegraph No.

Dr James Kustow received his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 34. He's spent the last decade and a half unpicking the complex nature of the condition - and contributing to emerging research on its causes and associations, many of which are rarely acknowledged.

This week 1. The BBC ran a story about alleged sexual misconduct at Pink News 2. The Health Secretary announced an indefinite ban on puberty blockers for under 18s 3. The LTA announced males cannot compete against women in British tennis competitions And it's only Wednesday

The #Pinknews news surely comes as no surprise, but also finding out I'm somewhat distantly related to @jk_rowling, what a week! 😊 #winning

@OfficeShoes I am livid. My elderly father ordered shoes @YodelOnline delivered to a BUCKET OF ROAD SALT and you believe he requested this?? This has caused so much stress - please sort it out properly, the onus on you to either redeliver, refund or replace.

Horrific. As the parent of a SEN child, after such treatment she wouldn't (couldn't) go back. These are not rules but petty and punitive power acts risking a child education. BBC News - Parents 'disgusted' by Whittlesey school uniform rules - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@marstrina Same! Daughter loves gaming, Pokemon and Minecraft - girls section doesn't cater to these very very popular titles. No doubt losing them money

@letclothesbe Was thinking about you guys the other day. I went into Next to buy some stuff for my niece, & they have strict 'girls' & 'boys' aisles with a wall of pink on one side & every colour of the rainbow on the other. All the things I ended up buying were from the boys' side.

The white crew-neck shirt featured a #strawberry design with the words "The Perfect Snack" and "Take a bite" printed on it, sparking outrage among #Parents | #Zara indianexpress.com/article/lifest…

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

Scandal. Disgrace. Outrage. Sponsors should pull out from supporting the Olympics. Why would they want their brand associated with this?

Wholy disingenuous to promote #schooluniform as social leveller only to then utilise as a point of discipline. Impossible not to experience as purely punitive by those who simply CANNOT comply! @AndyBurnhamGM uk.news.yahoo.com/greater-manche…

A parent messaged me today with the copy of a letter from their child's school. Any child who doesn't have all the right equipment on any day will get a demerit and an automatic hour long detention after school. How many adults would like that policy in their workplace? Would it help you to organise yourself? Or might it make you highly anxious?

Don't just make this about political point scoring, Dyers comments reflect a cultural problem rooted in control of girls and young women. Girls are taught shame, boys are taught girls bodies are wrong. Please allow me to share my research with you francescacircus@gmail.com

. @ManduReid @MikeAmesburyMP @MENnewsdesk Dwyers comment wrong, BUT reflects a common attitude to girls clothing perpetrated by SCHOOLS who actively punish girls over skirt length in name of morality and concerns about "vulnerability." 1/2 manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

This morning I made a mistake. As a result I was 20 minutes late for a meeting. No one gave me a behaviour point. I apologised and we moved on. I’m not in detention now. That’s because I’m an adult and I live in the real world. Why should our teenagers be treated so differently?
