Fifteen minutes of repeating the same points about ferrets just to prevent discussion of an important bill aimed at stopping private clinics from prescribing puberty blockers to vulnerable youth, most of whom would otherwise grow up to be LGB.

My embodied reality as a member of the oppressed sex class is experienced in a world where biology has a significant impact. You can believe what you want but I believe that biological sex is a real thing and neither law or some kind of new scientific concensus wld change that
"Self-identification of sex is not the law in the UK and the Welsh Government do not have the power to meddle with that. Equality law is a reserved matter – as the Scottish Government also found out.” Cathy Larkman from

“[M]isgendering” is not merely my right.... it’s my duty. I prefer, all else being equal, not to hurt other people’s feelings. But the solution is that they stop infringing on other people’s rights, not that I roll over and accept it."
In this week's issue of my newsletter, in front of the paywall, I explain why I'll keep "misgendering" - that is, calling trans-identifying men "men" - despite Scotland's new hate crime laws. (Spoiler, because it's essential to protect women's rights)
We are a human rights charity.
Our objectives are to :
- Promote human rights where they relate to biological sex
- Advance education about sex and the law
- Promote the sound administration of the law in relation to sex and equality in the law.
You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.
I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not
Only 4 of the 33 London Boroughs collect sex-based data. Doing so is a requirement of the Public Secor Equality Duty. I will be writing to my council about this. Will you?
Furthermore in section 1 we discuss how the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) is being breached. The PSED specifically states data should be collected based on sex and not gender/gender identity yet many organisations, including councils, do not collect data on sex. (4/5)
It shouldn't be on individual parents to be rooting these materials out school by school. Local and national Government both must act to better safeguard children.
Further update: I am told no more Pop N Olly videos will be used in any PHSE lessons for ANY year at my kids’ school after I queried this bizarre video.
Plan to look further into what WILL be shown in its place and approach the PHSE network mentioned by the school.

The result is a smokescreen that can stop people from recognising that they share our concerns.
Get beyond the dismissive “culture war” label, and the majority of people across the political spectrum support single-sex services.
Pride Month is over, yet here is a London primary school forcing ideology on young children.
One of the children in this photo is even holding up a sign which reads “I can’t even think straight”.

🧵 The nerve of people being vile about me wanting same-sex care. People asking ‘what about lesbians’ is homophobic, they are women. This isn’t about sexuality, it’s about sex. I’ve been told I have an agenda, not wanting men to touch me is not an agenda. Here’s my 24hrs 1/
The new government will come off the blocks knowing that protections for sex-based rights and single-sex services are important to voters, and that well-organised groups will hold them to account and work with them to find solutions which respect everyone’s human rights.

Some unis are unlawfully suppressing free speech & academic freedom. The HE free speech act enables academics to access their existing ECHR rights. Labour needs to implement it, not use free speech as a political football to attack the Tories.
