@SaulStaniforth Unless you are a woman in the NHS.. Then your union will abandon you.

The man behind Olly Robbins is Dave Penman, General Secretary of the FDA, the trade union representing senior civil servants. The message here? Join a union and have your union rep with you when you need them!

@ReJennerating @WomenSpeakTas Start with pharmaceutical companies & health practitioners. Then think about who gains from the breaking down of boundaries (AGP) and then our society

@UltraInterested @WomenSpeakTas Whose money?

Today we attended the Australian Human Rights Commission seminar in Hobart. We will do a proper report soon but something definitely hasn't changed and it's the fact that Anna Cody thinks that CEDAW has an inclusive definition of woman which includes Trans-identified males. I guess she is consistent in her misreading of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women

@TLCTeresaL @campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride and then they can fuck off some more!

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride Of course men mansplaining women's rights. Fuck all the way off.

For those in the middle of the @jk_rowling conversation I strongly recommend you listen to @RestIsPolitics LEADING interview with @SarahEMcBride - you could not wish to hear a more compelling, passionate and measured advocate of trans rights and human rights. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UvxQze…

@ActiveLesbians @campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride Hey Grace Campbell says she doesn’t want to listen to Lesbians unless they are pretty enough to demand her respect!

And it’s men like you who have also emboldened the likes of this Autogynephile to publicly state “I’m a lesbian” and demand we accept that nonsense and roll over and allow him access to our spaces and appropriate the unique language there is to describe who we are - lesbians: females exclusively attracted to other females: x.com/preta_6/status… Now, do us all a favour and sod off and stop attention seeking off comments by JKR.

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride What are the 3 chaps recommending we women and girls give up in order to #BeKind

@Ozwimmsrights The law and the hospital have no respect nor care for women and girls. Our boundaries were removed under Labour in 2013

Very disturbing. Will his colleagues be told he is male? Will his patients? We suspect not, given the Equality Act in NSW makes it illegal to "out' someone's previous "gender identity". This is man who has no respect for women's boundaries.

@afneil Can someone explain how Sir Olly is viewed as an oppressed victim now because he worked for a bully and if he had voiced objections then he would have been fired… so he opted to shut up in order to keep his high paying job.

Really. Read me in tomorrow’s Mail.

@RachelK01840150 What screening process?

How on earth did the adoptive parents get through the screening process?

@SaulStaniforth So now Sir Olly is to be viewed as an oppressed employee cos if he did his job he would have been let go by the tyrant… as happens to normal people!

Olly Robbins is asked, do you regret granting security clearance for Mandelson? Robbins says he regrets that the vetting wasn't done before & he regrets that the due diligence process didn't colour the PMs judgement. Pointing the finger clearly at Starmer.

@afneil @georgegalloway The BBC and Legacy Media have trained people to respond to UK corruption with: but Orange Man Bad!

He was formally appointed end-January 2025, which is 15 months ago. Not two years. And, using your words, surely only a stupid Prime Minister would appoint a ‘stupid ambassador’ to our most important embassy? So that makes it a story. A big story. Next.

@HennieInglis You don’t know the half of it! Gender Affirming Care mutilations are basically unregulated in Australia. These same hospitals need to spread the ideology at pace. Dr Upton is part if this strategy..

Imagine hiring such a liability? He invades female spaces, he turns up to treat female patients who ask for a female doctor. He had nurse Sandie Peggie suspended, put through hell. Sandie is currently appealing the ET ruling saying SHE harassed HIM. Australia hires him. Sick.

@SunilSharmaUK I wish people would refer to Sex v. Gender Identity as the word gender is running cover for a multitude of sins

J.K. Rowling couldn't have said it better

@berk_hamstead The BBC is an embarrassment

The BBC Complaints team have concluded that it's not offensive, for this dirty old man to talk about his supposed experiences of misogyny on Woman's Hour, because he cross-dresses full-time. The BBC says the what is a woman question is still "disputed with no settled consensus"

@Glinner Grace is building public awareness of the level of simping some weak women will go to in order to be liked by males.

I love that Grace has taken one for the transmaiden team and shown that women can be virulent misogynists too

@Sorelle_Arduino @Femboweler @MoiraDeemingMP @EJjohnsontweets @vigee_elisabeth A woman or girl patient in the Emergency Dept is in a low power position, reliant on the system to protect her from abuse in that vulnerable situation.

@MoiraDeemingMP @Chrisie_Shaun @EJjohnsontweets @vigee_elisabeth He has already admitted that if a woman asks for female care, he doesn’t see why he has to declare his sex He would only leave if directly challenged He is putting the onus on women who may be traumatised, in pain and/or disoriented I consider this man a danger to women & girls

Let's talk about what professional conduct actually means. Honesty. Integrity. Accuracy. Transparency with patients. A doctor who publicly misrepresents their own biological sex fails every single one of those standards. Dr Upton is male.

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling Your arrogance isn’t working for you here

@jk_rowling Thank you for listening

Mmmm. Bit weird 👇🏻 but hey ho … for all those claiming we won’t listen to people who share @jk_rowling views we have in the past asked @jk_rowling who said no. She is a leading voice and therefore we would happily talk to her on LEADING. Previous attempts have been rebuffed.

@ToBeDamnedOrNot @Dis_Critic @LightbulbSarah But legally you can change sex in Australia- so hoe is there an informed consent issue?

@Dis_Critic @LightbulbSarah Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board is ours. Rogers v. Whitaker [1992] is Australian. Laws about informed consent. I have plastered it where I can. I am sure there are other versions in other countries.

There might be more than one reason Theo Upton took himself to Australia.

@errjustsaying @MaldonGirl1966 @Steven_Swinford Didn’t Mandelson say nasty things against Trump over the years? - making him a strange choice on that basis alone!

@MaldonGirl1966 @Steven_Swinford Even worse 🤦‍♀️

****THE OLLY ROBBINS BOMBSHELL EVIDENCE**** * Number 10 applied 'constant pressure' to the foreign office to clear Mandelson's appointment and took no interest in his vetting. The message was 'get this done' * The Cabinet Office argued that there was no need to vet Mandelson at all. The Foreign Office insisted that there needed to be security vetting * No 10 took a 'dismissive approach' to the vetting process. There was 'constant chasing' from Starmer's private office in No 10 over Mandelson * Mandelson was given access to the FCDO building and granted 'higher classification briefings' before he was granted security clearance * Sir Keir Starmer tried to get his then director of communications Matthew Doyle an ambassadorship. Robbins was told not to inform David Lammy, the then foreign sec. Robbins resisted on grounds that Doyle did not have the credentials to become an ambassador. Doyle was subsequently found to have given public support to a sex offender * Robbins directly contradicted Starmer's claim that he would not have appointed Mandelson if he had known he failed his vetting. Robbins says that it would have been 'very difficult' to block him given the pressure from No 10 * He pointed to the fact that the appointment had been announced, the King had been informed, agrement had been secured with the US - all before the vetting had taken place * He says that blocking Mandelson's appointments would have 'damaged US-UK relations' and caused issues with Donald Trump and his administration * Starmer's central charge against Robbins is that he failed to tell him that Mandelson had not cleared his vetting. Robbins says he did not see the vetting report. He was given a verbal briefing by the foreign office's security team that UK Security Vetting considered Mandelson's vetting to be borderline although it was 'leaning against'. The foreign office security team considered that the security risk could be managed. He agreed. Mandelson was granted developed vetting * Robbins's case is two-fold: 1) He couldn't have told Starmer something he didn't know and 2) He was the ultimate arbiter of whether Mandelson should be granted DV status * Robbins says that when Mandelson was sacked he tried to get hold of the Mandelson UKSV vetting document. He was told by the Cabinet Office that he needed a UK national security justification to access it

@mdmama_ Pfizer rep says what?

COVID and Influenza can be deadly even in young healthy patients. I am only 1 physician and I have seen this far too many times. Vaccines are not perfect but they definitely decrease risk of severe disease including death. #getvaccinated cbc.ca/news/health/ho…

@ProfPParkinson You seek no respect not grace for the vulnerable patients and female nurses! Just the repeat offender.

This post has clearly generated some strong reactions! I understand that; but look at it another way. A young doctor, just starting out, has been so strongly and publicly criticised- for good reasons - that they choose to move to the other side of the world. What place is there in our society for grace, forgiveness and tolerance? If a professional, who has had this bad a start to their career, doesn't learn from what has happened when given a new start in another country, that is on them; but I don't think any of us really want to live in a society that doesn't offer any opportunity for fresh starts. The other point is that I expect there are a number of other transgender medics in Australia - born here. So we have to work out accommodations and compromises that, so far as possible, respect all rights and allow people their dignity. For the most part, we can choose our doctors. The trashing of women's rights has been a shocking aspect of the recent 'trans rights' movement; but we mustn't trash others' rights or trample upon people's dignity, in the process of correcting those errors.

Australians should welcome Dr Beth Upton as we welcome so many other migrants who join our caring professions. Australia is the land of the fresh start. Dr Upton needs this after the adverse publicity of the case in Scotland. Dr Upton clearly said some silly things in the witness box under pressure. We all make mistakes. All doctors understand that there are some conditions that only women have and some that only men have. Dr Upton, I am sure, does not believe that one can self-identify into female medical conditions! However, the warm Australian welcome has to be conditioned on Dr Upton allowing women, including nurses, their private spaces and respecting the fact that some female patients will not be comfortable being examined by a transfemale doctor. These are small concessions to ask, so that all rights are equally respected.@AusHumanRights; @RachaelWongAus;@rachelbaxendale.
