“A gender neutral toilet is available on every floor”, literally nailed to the door of the ladies. But no. This isn’t about needing somewhere to pee. This is about deliberately & purposefully antagonising, intimidating & shaming women & girls. No. Other. Reason.

Two men in the women's toilets at the Hippodrome after the (fantastic!) NAG Awards. Picked the wrong evening to break the law, that's for sure.

It’s weird isn’t it… 1. Man dresses up to pretend he’s an admiral when he isn’t: court, fine, criminal record. 2. Men dress up as women, demand access to their private sex orientated spaces… they are lauded, protected and women are told to shut up and be kind… som of those…

BBC Verify call the uprising in Iran “cost of living protests”. I swear a circle of Hell is reserved for those “journalists”. Over 50 Iranian women have been hanged by the mullahs in the past year. Women. Hanged. Verify that.

It’s quite surreal to note the last appearance of Prof Lord Robert Winston on the BBC was on the 14 Oct 2021. A long-running BBC presenter of science programmes and regular contributor to several shows, yet no where to be seen on the state broadcaster after stating this fact:

"Women of a certain age" Susan 53, Marion 54, Trina 54. I'm 53. We are the generation born with the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. We came into a world where (at least on paper) women had equal rights. We are the first girls who could be everything a boy could be. The Supreme…

Nine centuries as property, one century as actual people, two decades as a feeling in some blokes’ heads. I could weep if I wasn’t so angry.

As you’re fighting to remove our daughters’ rights to the privacy and safety of single-sex bathrooms and changing rooms, while poised to allow the unethical puberty blockers trial, perhaps children should be protected from @UKLabour.

Every parent should be able to trust that their daughter is safe at school, online and in her relationships. With Labour, they will be.

I want my daughters to live in a country where their right to single-sex spaces isn’t under attack from their own government.

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,…

This government tells us in one breath that it wants to stamp out misogyny, and in the next that it will be fighting in the Supreme Court to remove women’s and girls’ rights to single-sex spaces.

Autistic girl here! I thought I was both "genderfluid" and "non-binary" at different stages in life. I wanted a binder, bought boy clothes, cut my hair short, etc. But then I grew into myself and am a happily married woman who realizes how predatory the gender idealogy can be.

I was a "transgender" teen. Autistic girls are not boys. We are misfits until we grow up and find our people. Repost if you believe autistic girls deserve to grow up whole.

The reasons why women want single-sex spaces should make men ashamed. Instead, women are shamed for wanting single-sex spaces.

Diversity isn’t just who’s in the room, it’s who’s allowed to disagree. Real equality protects difference of thought as much as identity.


“even the media coverage about women being sidelined still manages to sideline women”

What’s frustrating about the BBC resignations is how much of the coverage has focused on Trump. Yes - the editing of his Capitol Hill speech was a serious lapse, but it was also a single incident. The Prescott Report, on the other hand, highlights years of bias across multiple…
