I can’t wrap my head around this.
A women can request a female but then might be accused of discrimination if a TiM is sent? Have I misunderstood?
Body autonomy
Boundaries
Consent
Surely it’s ‘reasonable’ to request same sex care without fear in 2023?
What am I missing?
@GoldsmithsSU
This man can (not cheat any more).
Emily is only ‘elite’ when cheating.
Emily can race in the Open category & voluntarily respect women’s sport.
Emily should do this out of respect & should not have to be told ‘no’.
@helresa
You cannot possibly know whether you’ve been treated ‘as a woman’ because you’re male.
No woman would ever need to make this statement.
Live however you choose - but you’ll never have a woman’s perspective. It’s impossible.
@David__Osland
It shows how much disposable income some people have - & how far removed they are from those who have so little. To feel that £50 is reasonable is so revealing about their attitude to the poor. It’s why £20 didn’t matter & it’s why they allow children to be hungry. No concept.
@LydiaTeapots
The only thing I dislike with this is that he put them in the position to have to refuse & assert themselves.
He could recognise their boundaries and avoid asking. He doesn’t need to put girls in the position to have to say no.
@Sal_Robins
@Stormmaker77
I think a lot of people just haven’t really thought about it. They just think they’re being kind & accepting. I certainly did.
Until the rape centres, the intimate care, the big pharma profits, the sports, the school dormitories.

Is it ‘filibustering’ when genuine concernes are succinctly explained by person after person? Or maybe - just maybe - there is something very very wrong with this bill…
@_celia_bedelia_
Really?
I automatically assume they’re a dad, or an uncle, or a husband, or a brother, or a grandad to a girl who they care about.
And that they value & respect her right to be in a space away from men of any identity.
Why is respecting a single sex space so terrible?

why did they say there was no data on the offending rates of trans males?
Untrue. The MoJ's figures show TW are significantly more likely to be sexual predators than other males.
Yet women are meant to let TW into their spaces?

Teachers earn 20% less than a decade ago. The Tories don’t value education or their work.

@thecarolemalone
Ah - so they must be lying about the underfunding, the impossible workload, the children waiting years for the support they need. Good to know - thanks for your contribution. So I guess you’ll be training & joining this well paid & well respected profession then?
@stephenwhittle
Absolutely not.
Single sex spaces = entirely reasonable. Especially when vulnerable in hospital.
Your self identification of your female sex as a man is personal - it is not up to you to decide whether my mum has to sleep next to a male who says he’s a woman in hospital.
@David__Osland
I don’t understand.
We pay tax. We pay NI. We pay council tax.
Why is there no money to pay for the welfare state & the NHS. That is literally what we pay for. You’re not telling me that bins, street lights & roadworks have taken it all!
What have they done with our money?
@legaltweetz
Did you see any of the ‘let women speak’ in Edinburgh yesterday? Signs all over saying that ‘lesbians love girl sick’. Are you really saying this is only on X?
@iris_frs
No one needs to tell you.
You already know.
You’re human.
You’re male.
You call yourself a woman & use spaces designed for women.
Your whole life experience is that of a male who says he’s a woman - it is not the experience of a woman.
@transmetalmum
Helen Joyce perfectly explain the quandary you find yourself in.
You want to support your child obviously - which then means that you end up denying reality.
Trans people are trans - they haven’t changed sex.
@Miss_Sutton_PE
Our education system is in a downward spiral. Vocational teachers are leaving in huge numbers - the machine is breaking the parts that made it wonderful. People come into the profession for children - rarely is it the kids who make us leave.
@SheaChristie3
This is very far from Thatcher & Section 28.
Children need to be free from stereotyping - to be confident & resilient & happy. They need to be taught to be kind to others & themselves & that non conformity is normal & very rarely needs intervention.
And that boundaries are real.
@desolatedoll
@PeterTatchell
The kind of ‘progress’ that makes lifelong medical patients.
Excludes women from women their own competitions.
Excludes women from their own sex based protections from the Equality Act.
That progress?

25 year ago I took a course in counselling - wondering if I might follow this path.
All questions were around allowing the person to explore & reflect. It was never about affirming. It was to support a person to discover their own feelings.
Therapy shouldn’t be affirmation only.

You know that sex is very clear.
You are aware that gender is a social construct.

Please explain what is appallingly transphobic about females selecting single sex spaces & reasonably expecting them to be single sex?
When won’t males who say they’re women respect these spaces & self exclude?

You are in control of your decisions.
You can make your own choices.
You can’t force anyone to play along.

@babybeginner
@WomensRightsNet
I want so very much to ‘be kind’ but I’m finding it so very difficult that the female sex seem to be silenced. Our voices are shouted down as discriminatory & our words are erased in favour of our body parts.

@legaltweetz
Are you for real?
Males who say they’re lesbians, aren’t.
It’s impossible to identify into lesbianism.
It’s homophobic to suggest that males can be lesbians.
@DrSebastianBarr
Brilliant - can you share the valid reliable research that Cass discounted. Trans people deserve the same high standards of evidence based medicine as offered to any patient. Using off label drugs to treat mh might not be the way forward.
@PinkNews
The sample size is 2003 people.
Unless this is replicable across a far larger sample 🤷
There are around 28000 schools in the UK. That 0.07 people in each school that’s been asked.
Not exactly the winning data you are trying to suggest.
@NoCisgender
In one short phrase he shows that he clearly puts his own ‘womanhood’ above women. He can’t even say woman without saying ‘non trans women’.
He’s a man, who says he a women, who have no problem making single sex spaces unisex just because he wants to.

At 17 they are still classed as a child.
Why do you think this is the law?
@2genders1truth
Because the wife only sees you as a ‘woman’ until you put your manly child abuse above the needs of the child she just gave birth to. Then the child’s needs come first. She’s made a whole human - you want to use that human for your own affirmation & she’s not having it.
@rizpossnett
So you don’t condone a call to violence - unless is against people who disagree with you. Then it’s fine and dandy - gotcha.
And anything this person did is now irrelevant because they identify as trans is it? A history of violence & then calling for violence - not reformed.

Public interest request: could you detail his qualifications for this post.
What specific experience qualifies him to lead education?
Has he stepped foot inside an education establishment since his own education?
Has he acted as a governor?
Has he worked in schools, ever?
In no other profession can you slide from ‘education’ to ‘health’ to ‘finance’ without real and proper qualifications.
Why are MPs ‘shuffled’ around as if the posts themselves are interchangeable?
I’m so baffled.
@PinkNews
There is a men’s pond & a mixed pond already - why is it such a big thing for men who say they’re women to use the mixed pond?
Why is a female space such an important place to gain access to when there is already a space to use?
@Kat_Says_Stuff
As a lesbian I very much wish more women would stand up for women. Men who say they’re women are still men. Single sex spaces are important & necessary. Gender does not supersede sex when women need single sex spaces.
Men are not lesbians. Ever.
@2genders1truth
Breastfeeding is a privilege not a right.
No loving parent who’s putting the needs of a baby first would do this.
This is entirely about the adult.
What does a man get from doing this?
@Martina
I’ve been blocked again asking why males won’t respect female single sex spaces.
There no reason for them to be accessing those spaces - they don’t care how females feel - it’s power. They want to come in so they do.
If we select a single sex space, males could respect that.
@outsports
All this does is show that some men who say they’re women are not as good as women at running. That doesn’t mean that the better ones should be running with women.

Males overwhelmingly at 98% commit the sexual crimes.
Females do not.
Males- however they identify - are the perpetrators.
Humans do not change sex & cannot identify their way out of male pattern offending.

@JournalistJill
Surely is sex discrimination if a woman is disrespected in this way.
The male knows that he is not qualified due to his sex. He knows that his sex has limits in terms of the consent women can give if they are asking for a female. His disregard for this consent tell us everything.
@Phoebe2403
@jk_rowling
@IndiaWilloughby
thinks that any & all men who adopt stereotypical feminine stereotypes are actually female. This in itself is enough to take not the slightest tiniest bit of notice.
Men - even those who say they’re women - should respect single sex spaces.
@mettlesome_teri
Please explain what is unreasonable about females selecting spaces away from males - all males, even those who say they’re women.
Places where females, sleep, undress, bathe or toilet should be respected by males of all identities.
What do you think is hateful here?
@ripx4nutmeg
@MsPeacheeKeen
Public records should be infallible.
Records of birth, deaths, drivers’ licences, passports & certificates of ID should reflect the sex we are.
As a Labour Party member I find this ridiculous.
There are plenty of settings & roles where sex matters.
Stop creating fictions.
@millihill
Why can’t we celebrate motherhood? Breastfeeding is a monumental effort & all credit should go to the women that try.
It’s so upsetting that the language is being erased. Motherhood is precious.
@HelenSalmon2
Having worked, up until very recently, with the children of this town the answer sadly is not a politically correct one. The sense of disenfranchisement is with life itself & the easy people to blame are anyone who’s different. Race & immigration are quick wins here.
@prideukorg
@jk_rowling
They tried the scolds- bridal, the ducking stool, fire, high tide & plenty of other methods to silence pesky women.
What on earth makes you think that females will ever believe that males are women just because they say so?
Humans don’t change sex.
Sunak asks homeless person ‘do you work in business?’ He literally has no concept of anything outside his privilege. He has never struggled & will never understand what life is like for so many. Breathtaking ignorance of the people.

You do know that lesbians couldn’t care less where the females who say they’re men go.
It’s the males - saying they’re women - identifying as lesbians - they’re the ones who need to respect single sex spaces.
Who cares where a female goes?

First time in 20 years I haven’t wanted to march at Pride.

This father believes we should be living in a society where women are humiliated for existing & for having a POV different to him. He’s 500 years out of date, the scolds bridal & the ducking stool are gone - sadly misogyny is alive & kicking.
What is the point of an apology?
@europeangreens
What rights do men who say they are women need in the UK that they don’t already have?
Do those rights include, undressing, sleeping, toileting, with females who have selected single sex spaces for privacy & dignity?
Which rights do females lose when they acquiesce to males?
@MrMennoTweets
@dhothersall
I’m with Mr M.
I thought ‘be kind’ was kind. It isn’t.
When I thought about it - the conflicts, particularly those with males who say they are women, with women are too many, & are too important to be quiet.
So many reasons that women need their own space in the world.

Cope.
Misogynist.
@iris_frs
Really?
Or is it that males who say they’re women could choose to respect spaces where women undress, bathe or sleep - but they’d rather yell transphobe at females seeking dignity & privacy.
A male knows he is male & could choose to self exclude. Why doesn’t he?
