@babybeginner @thames_pilgrim I hope all the men who repeatedly say “all the girls have to do is refuse to compete” are reading this. I hope they’ll contribute to the girls’ legal fees. Could take years, of course - years while those girls can’t compete and lose their way. Or - men& boys could stop cheating.

@TPExpressTrains I'm confused. Are you saying that prior to this point, LGBT+ youth weren't welcome on your trains, or where discriminated against by your staff? If so, slapping some paint on your trains seems a waste of time. If not, slapping some paint on your trains seems a waste of money.

@BBC100women Terf. Why have you given away 2 spots in your list to men and are lying that they’re women. Gaslighting ⬆️

@ThePosieParker 5 years on and those men are still in an apoplectic rage with women who say NO. And they’ll carry on being in a rage until politicians and the media stop pandering to them.

@K_IngalaSmith @blackbirdpeeja Just as leftist women keep telling the rest of us that Labour isn’t just Keir Starmer, the POW isn’t just KJK. You have just been incredibly unpleasant about ordinary women taking up the baton and getting the conversation out there.

@bindelj Great article. She's still got the female/school socialisation of not wanting the school to get into trouble, when in fact their entire SLT & every teacher involved should be replaced. Her past history is interesting in that it's made her less, not more, susceptible to this cult.

Let’s give this brave woman some support for doing her job, investigating the case and finding it wanting. #IStandWithJKRowling

Right, I’m done. 3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing “20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With” After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay & finding the context of these “quotes”, I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message🧵

@Schapney @rickygervais I have a 13 year old. It’s not hard to explain stuff as you read if and when they ask questions. Sugar-coating everything doesn’t help, long term. But either you believe in freedom of expression or you don’t. I do and I’ve taught that to my child.

@youngwomenscot Has no one told you about producing accessible graphics? And you're not creating safe spaces for girls and young women if you welcome deceitful men into them.

@anunsafespace @TristinHopper “People” didn’t have babies. Women did, and support and solidarity with other mums-to-be is pretty valuable.

@labourlewis Make no mistake, Clive. You are supporting the abuse of a BABY. And this tweet will come back to haunt you as I have no doubt it’s been screenshot hundreds of times already. Clive Lewis MP @UKLabour supports a man abusing a baby @Keir_Starmer

@AnnelieseDodds Then you are proposing to allow no other route for children questioning or distressed by their sexed bodies than affirmation, medicalisation, sterilisation and mutilation. And the GRA is a bad law that should go. Shame on you.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Rubbish. This is misinformation and you need to properly look at the proposal and understand it before tweeting again. But thanks for putting women and girls at the bottom of your list, again.

@thebookseller @MacmillanKidsUK Let's just take a look at the picture celebrating the extreme self harm scars from a young woman, a girl, having her healthy breasts sliced off. I would like @cateaugustin @CharlieofCastle and @LydiaRSilver to explain exactly how this is about being comfortable in your body.

@ThecloverLawn @Royal_Greenwich So, @MrOkereke , as leader of @royalgreenwich you think it’s fine to teacher children that the person who have birth to them can no longer be referred to as a woman or as a mother? And to change what a protected characteristic is in law? 1/2

@ThamesV_Cancer You are evil. That’s what this is. Not immoral. Not unethical. Evil. Refusing to use the clearest language possible to reach the most women possible. You are evil.

@SadiqKhan For goodness sake. Why is the @MayorofLondon retweeting this atrocious rag? You really shouldn’t display your wanton disregard of women in this way, it doesn’t look good.
