@j_bettany @bindelj But for a quick overview of why as a socialist feminist I reject POMO gender identity ideology you cant top Amanda MacLean's excellent article "A World Without Gender" weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1330/a-…

This cannot be allowed. It’s deliberately removing opportunities from girls in ‘girls sport’, that positively changes their lives, & giving them to boys, who already have vastly more opportunities available to them compared to females.

‘Same pattern of lies repeated decades later.’ Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Dr Dionne Joseph, believes that gender transitions for young adults are one of the biggest medical scandals of our time, as a Finnish study reveals transitioning impacted mental health symptoms.

@Sorelle_Arduino @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @SarahEMcBride Why is McBride’s discomfort at using (or unwillingness to use) male facilities more important than the discomfort of the women whose space is being encroached upon? The great gaslighting continues aided & abetted by men who think undermining women’s rights is kind & reasonable.

@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

The survey has 41 questions but Q35 is the key one for sport If you only have a couple of minutes, you can press return for each question till you reach Q35 The issues with the KCSIE guidance for sport for Q35 are listed in bullet points in the following post 2/ Link to the SEEN in Sport guidance for responding to the consultation ➡️ seeninsport.org/consultation-o…

Urgent! @GOVUK is proposing to allow boys into all under 18s girls’ school sport - unless it is deemed unsafe… … ignoring both unfairness & the evidence that it puts girls off sport Use SEEN in Sport’s guidance in the next post to respond to the KCSIE consultation 1/ consult.education.gov.uk/independent-ed…

It is the biggest medical scandal of our time. The sooner wider society realises the horrors we have been visiting on young people the sooner it will stop. Then there should be prosecutions.

Your walk is physically growing your brain. That’s not a metaphor. Every year after 50, your brain’s memory region shrinks by about 1-2%. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh put 120 older adults into two groups. One walked 40 minutes a day, three days a week, for a full year. The other just stretched. Brain scans showed the walkers’ memory region grew by 2%, undoing one to two years of shrinkage. The stretching group shrank by another 1.4%. It changes how you think too. Stanford tested 176 people on creative tasks while sitting and then while walking. Creative output jumped 60%. Even on a treadmill facing a blank wall. Every single person who walked outside produced at least one strong original idea, while only half the seated group managed it. The boost stuck around even after they sat back down. A 2024 review in the British Medical Journal looked at 218 studies and found that walking and jogging worked about as well as antidepressants for depression. For people already dealing with clinical depression, a separate analysis of 75 studies found the benefit was about 4x what it was for everyone else. You don’t even need 10,000 steps. That number came from a 1960s Japanese marketing campaign for a pedometer, not from any medical study. When researchers tracked over 226,000 people, every extra 1,000 steps per day lowered the risk of early death. Around 9,000 steps a day is enough to cut that risk by 39%. A pair of shoes and a door. No prescription needed.

“Women are forbidden from ­relationships with other women in prison, so why are relationships with men not only tolerated but accommodated? Even worse, we don’t know if women are being coerced or forced into sex with male prisoners.” dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Wood anemones in my local wood. Often known as the windflower, the plant is named after the Greek word for wind, anemos. Some legends suggest that anemone flowers sprung up where Aphrodite’s tears fell as she wept over the death of her lover, Adonis.

A transgender academic will be among those reworking the UK's psychotherapy ethics guidelines, despite having no qualifications in the field. Sophie Grace Chappell once said that it "wouldn't matter" if gender ideology led to more women being murdered. reduxx.info/uk-transgender…

@TaniaAMarshall Yup .. that’s the one I was commenting on re being genuine:) I love these challenges that you set 🥰

@Slipstream60 Facing you, the R one is genuine due to Duchenne marker, curled smile up into cheeks and the sparkle in the eyes

👀 By popular request, here is your next faces test. They both look happy OR do they? Which one is *genuinely* happy? Why? Good luck🤞🏼 👀

This is not how you free a nation

@martinshawx @BBC @Channel4News “The BBC is the most refined propaganda service in the world. Double standards & repression, doctoring information, an extension of establishment control.” John Pilger (1939-2023) Australian journalist, writer, scholar & documentary film maker:

The rebellion against the UK’s role supporting the illegal US destruction of Iran is growing. Time perhaps for @BBC and @Channel4News to cover this and question Starmer’s lie that the UK is not involved?

Wow. This is the research that every single country including the UK should have been doing. 'psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment'

I stand by my assertion that a man who publicly posts that women should be fucked with a rolling pin for disagreeing with him, is urging corrective rape. I will await the BSB decision with interest and defend myself as ever, robustly. These men must learn that this kind of public threat is unacceptable. That they make criticism of it a regulatory matter is bizarre but shows how deeply their expected protection has been embedded. Enough.

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1

TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren. No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!
