Let women speak. Thank you, Edinburgh.

So the King's trust has cancelled a fitness course for disadvantaged girls and young women. Another win for feminism!

Hi @SexMattersOrg, yet another WI branch is closing, thanks to gender critical "lawfare". You say you speak for women, but isn't it more like you speak for the American Evangelical far-right?

The fact that "gender critical" people who claimed to be on the left pivoted so quickly and enthusiastically to the far right explains why they think women only pretend to be trans inclusive to get social approval. Because they were only pretending to be left wing for approval.

Sex Matters keep presenting legal arguments as if they are facts about biology. They aren’t. Law and biology are not the same thing. A court interpreting the word “sex” in a statute is resolving a legal question for a specific purpose. It is not discovering a universal truth about human bodies. It is not rewriting medicine. It is not settling science. This is where their entire argument starts to fall apart. They take narrow legal rulings and inflate them into claims about reality itself. They move from “this is how a law is applied in one context” to “this is what humans are full stop.” That leap is not evidence. It is ideology. Human biology has never been as simple as they pretend. Sex traits include chromosomes, hormones, anatomy, development, and variation. Medicine deals with all of these in practice. Reducing everything to a single fixed category might be rhetorically convenient, but it is not how real bodies or real healthcare work. Gender is not an invention of modern politics either. It is a well-established concept used across psychology, medicine, and social science to describe lived experience and identity. You don’t have to agree with every application of it to recognise that it exists. Sex Matters build their entire position on collapsing these distinctions. They blur law into biology. They flatten complexity into slogans. They present contested views as settled fact. Then they use that framing to influence policy, including lobbying at the Council of Europe around conversion practices that have been widely condemned for causing harm. This is not clarity. It is oversimplification used as a political tool. The reality is simple in a different way. Sex matters. Gender exists. Human biology is complex. Any argument that cannot hold all three at once is not describing reality.

An Irish group set up as "gender critical" has now pivoted to being anti immigration. They're not the only ones. It's not about single sex spaces. It was NEVER about single sex spaces.

Up and down Britain, Women’s Institutes are CLOSING rather than be bullied into banning women who are trans. THIS is solidarity. THIS is women’s rights. THIS is a future Oscar winning film. Can you guess who the baddies will be? Women’s Rights ARE Trans Rights, and vice-versa. But in our world of two news realities, none of this gets reported. @bphillipsonMP .

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. This is what happens when racism is normalised from the top: democratically elected representatives being told that we shouldn't be allowed to make decisions here at all, and even that we should leave the country. It’s a racist attack on our very democracy. Will Nick and his party condemn it?

@PompeySteph @Keir_Starmer We're refusing to let them make our trans sisters and brothers hide in the shadows. They belong alongside us. Everywhere. Same as the girl guides. If my 13 year old understands and supports trans girls. The grown ups should be able to get it FFS

Breaking: Tonight, three more WIs said "No" we will be trans inclusive and are closing. Three more who were supporting women and often the vulnerable. The judgment that @Keir_Starmer said brought "clarity" has bought calamity, missery and heartbreak. Enough.

In Nepal (population 30 million), they have just elected Bhumika Shrestha as their first trans MP. In the UK (population 70 million), they are discussing where we can P

There is no law in England requiring a shop to have single sex changing rooms. And M&S are a megacorp. And they know that..

Trans people are used to being at the bottom of the league. The reality is just 1% of the population considers trans folk a "top issue' - that 1% is us & our families, who see & feel the discrimination we face daily. One day, politicians will see us as people..not an "issue."

Opps! Now 93,595 women (AFAB) have said "No" to transphobia and gender-critical ideology. If you have not signed (and are eligible), please sign the Not In Our Name (NION) declaration and share....share......share. translucent.org.uk/over-93000-wom…

Psst....A further 500 women have signed the NION letter since yesterday. Pass it on.

Up until now "gender criticals" have threatened legal action frequently against small organisations who cave because they can't afford a defence. But you can't do that against every major organisation in the country. This was their mistake.
