@with_rhymes Based on your public posts mentioning blocks, the most famous person to have blocked you on X is Val McDermid.

@RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @SarahEMcBride , three men discuss the fact women don’t get to exclude cross dressing men from spaces we undress just because we feel ‘uncomfortable’ The patriarchy is alive and kicking 🙄 Transactivism is a male supremacy movement

Banned from socialisation, banned from sports, even banned from privacy of toilets & changing rooms Where else do we go? What else do we do? What do we have other than our rage? When is "enough" enough? No more taking it on the chin Take action. Join us linktr.ee/BASH.BACK

@amuse_girl @61harpy @Transgendertrd @blablafishcakes None of that is necessarily a safeguarding issue. So much of what is wrong in society comes down to safetyism. It has created an obfuscatory culture where "safeguarding" is thrown around as if it's a magic word. And moralists untethered from reality lap it up and repeat it.

"Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender re-assignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment." Ruuska 2026 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ap…

Queen Elizabeth I stayed here in the Chilterns, at @CheniesManor in 1570. She became one of our most successful and popular monarchs. “Though the sex to which I belong is considered weak you will nevertheless find me a rock that bends to no wind” #WitChes #WomenInTheChilterns

💔🚨😑What should we Afghan women do when all the doors are closed to us? Please watch all the videos. In the first video, the Taliban say girls’ schools are closed until further notice — and even asking questions is forbidden. In the second , the Taliban say girls going to school is not allowed in Islam — claiming women should not speak with men or study, and even that one eye is enough for a woman to see. In the 3th, they swear that as long as they are in power, schools will remain closed — saying it is because of Islam. But their own daughters go to schools and universities. Is Islam only for the people, and not for them? Afghan girls are being denied education, silenced, and erased. Please do not ignore this. Speak up for Afghan women. #LetHerLearn #AfghanGirls #OpenSchoolsNow

TransLucent Resignation Statement: Seeking to take the Labour Party to court. Some 6+ years ago, I started a personal blog, which led to a group of campaigners, which in turn led to an organisation we now know as TransLucent. It’s been an amazing journey for me as a founder and CEO. Still, in life, things change, and chapters end. In December 2025, the Labour Party discriminated against me by barring me from a space where I was once welcome - the National Women’s Conference. The Party claims that this is due to the Supreme Court judgment (FWS v SGM). I believe the Labour Party has been badly misinformed by their lawyers and could have chosen to remain trans inclusive. A court, perhaps ultimately in Strasbourg, will need to decide. I know this may be a marathon journey, but it is inconceivable that when the Gender Recognition Act was drafted, exemptions, which included single-sex spaces and female sport, would also mean a trans woman could not attend a conference. For nearly a year, the Labour government has witnessed the chaos the Supreme Court judgment has caused: likely suicides, certainly suicide attempts, trans people outed at work, trans women and girls expelled from Girlguiding, and volunteers quitting in protest. The Women’s Institute has excluded trans women who had been members for decades, resulting in multiple branches closing, leaving many elderly s!s women without the companionship they cherished. This is madness, and the Labour government could and should have intervened - neither Girlguiding nor the WI wanted to exclude - this gender-critical “lawfare” has to be stopped. I never imagined that I would be the one embarking on this epic journey to help overturn the FWS judgment, and I know the right-wing media will target me relentlessly with lies and misinformation - something I have faced several times before. As I begin my legal case, it is clear that I can no longer remain the public face of TransLucent, which is not involved in my personal dispute. I have served the Labour Party loyally in various Women’s positions in the past. As a post op trans woman with a Gender Recognition Certificate and as an award-winning feminist, I am truly disgusted, but while I feel desperately let down, it is my intention to remain an active member of my CLP. I am pleased to confirm that Prof. Stephen Whittle OBE (who co-founded Press for Change) and Dr Debora Diamond, both eminently qualified, will take my place at TransLucent. I know they will do a superb job. My immediate resignation will not affect the tireless advocacy work the organisation has undertaken -TransLucent will continue to fight for the dignity, respect, human rights and healthcare that trans people so richly deserve. I have had months to prepare for this, as my dispute with the Labour Party has been ongoing since December. Although I am leaving my position at TransLucent, I will continue being involved in the cause of human rights and intersectional feminism. Finally, please support my Crowdjustice Campaign to help fund my legal case against the Labour Party. Initially, I need £25k, followed by a further £45k as soon as possible. All donations go directly to my solicitor - should you prefer by using the slider, you dont need to leave a tip to Crowdjustice. Please donate and share this post.
