They told me at the shelter he was twelve years old and “not very adoptable.” His face is lopsided, one ear flops weird, and he’s missing half his teeth so his tongue kind of hangs out permanently. The volunteer said he’d been returned twice already because people thought he…

I wanted to grow up in a Britain where CSE detectives didn’t ask me if I “consented to sexual activity” after I was abused from the age of 5. I wanted to grow up in a Britain where the police didn’t show up at my door to threaten me after I exposed their failings on TV. I…

I want my daughter to grow up in a Britain where she feels safe in school, online, and in relationships. Every young girl deserves that, and every young boy should be protected from harmful misogynistic influences. My government is making that happen, by backing teachers,…

I want my daughter who has a profound learning disability to be guaranteed same-sex care for the sake of her dignity, privacy and safety. You have no idea the worry and pain you cause mothers like me when you say men are women.

I was supposed to be an object lesson to other women. I've seen more than one person say on X, 'd'you want what happened to JK Rowling to happen to you?' This is a movement that relies on intimidation. The only possible response is to refuse to be intimidated. That said, I've…

I’ve published an opinion piece responding to a Journal of Medical Ethics article that suggests reframing female genital mutilation as “female genital practices.” As a survivor of FGM, I reject language that sanitises violence against children or misuses “decolonisation” to…

The BMJ should be ashamed of their article calling for this barbarity to be normalised… I was repulsed and angry in equal measure.

There is something rotten in a system when the obvious becomes a provocation, and the most basic boundary a punishable offence. Sandie Peggie did not storm a barricade, preach revolt, or defy science. She did the simplest, most human thing: she objected to undressing in front of…

Sue now and win some pretty easy money. Club together to make it economically worthwhile (eg 100+ women awarded £5K each) & then go see a lawyer. @WomensInstitute has practically hung up a sign saying "Please sue us between now and April". Who wants some money? Go for it.

"..it remains our firm belief that transgender women are women, and that doesn’t change" 🙄 And WTF are they waiting till April next year?! They are breaking the law NOW! theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/d…

Another Minister who should resign. David Lammy is totally incompetent. When is he going to get a grip? There are tons of criminals being released by ‘accident’, yet he’s doing nothing. People are less safe under Labour.

Frankly, I don’t care whether Reeves did or didn’t lie about a black hole. She should resign over the Budget itself. A Chancellor whose decisions leave working households poorer than benefit-dependent households has failed at the most basic level. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

With a heavy heart, we are going to start doing the right thing by girls, but only because the law says we must. Will no one think of the men?

Incredible letter in @thetimes

SebastianEPayne's tweet image. Incredible letter in @thetimes

This is the most succinct summary yet… with a heavy heart they owe so many apologies!!

“Girl guiding is for girls. Yay girls.” “In April, we were surprised and saddened to learn that girls are female.” “It’s been eight months, but we really can’t find a workaround.” 🙄

Girlguiding decision important yet it all makes me sad. The Guides meant so much to me but the announcement is so grudging, so reluctant, so concerned about the impact on boys, I wonder if it can ever again give girls the brilliant, confidence building space in which I thrived.
