They always produce the photos of trans men. This isn't about trans men, others can organise themselves how they want. This is about women having a female only space and being assured that that will be the case.
@nottswomenscent
You can apply the exemptions of the EA for a female only member of staff and still be operating within the law, the question is why don't you think that might be important for traumatised women using your service?
@Serena_Partrick
I don't know what Elon is on about because there was a whole discussion about beetroot, which put me in a huge dilemma, because I hate the stuff boiled but love it pickled.
@stephenwhittle
We don't need to consider the sufferings of trans people, I centre women in my feminism. Women are the only group who are expected to think of others when discussing our rights. The burden of being the "caring sex" is one I refuse to carry.
@SophieMolly_SG
We are losing our right to define ourselves as a sex class distinct from natal males. This has huge implications for women. Natal men can never literally be women. You're comment about Joanna Cherry is insulting to every woman everywhere.
@miffythegamer
Because safeguarding means that we exclude 100% males and unfortunately that includes trans women. Also, straight men are not saying they have a right to our single sex spaces, sports etc.
@AshReganALBA
Even if you ignore the massive lie that got him the job he just comes across as extremely unprofessional with his derogatory remarks and swearing about people who hold different views and disregard/disrespect for the law?
@legaltweetz
@jk_rowling
So you had a female reproductive system which doesn't exist now? how does that make you any different to any woman who has had a hysterectomy, are they men now?
@salltweets
The other point that I think is not raised nearly enough is that it only takes 1 man to ruin many women's chances in sports or harass and abuse many women in a single sex space.
@HazelAppleyard_
Ray Williams latest video with another AGP discusses their dating pool, this is an actual thing because they want straight women but quite often end up with TW because obviously straight women don't want them.
@theErinPaige
@She_Ra_UK
If this is a convoluted way of saying that trans women aren't men then you can stop gas lighting us, some of us are too long in the tooth for that sh*t.
@HazelAppleyard_
I wonder about children raised in these families every day. I wonder how it affects them, these are such devastating lies, you can't think but what it doesn't impact their own identity.

We are not the same. Women have certain life experiences because of our biology. And sometimes those differences matter in life and need to be acknowledged.
@TransKidsRule
I would be very concerned with your child answering "Don't know", this is troubling and should trouble you too. It seems to me that they don't feel in control of their own life or have a fear of saying something that might upset someone, why do you think that might be?

Yes because women are being redefined in policy & law and society in general, to include natal males and that has implications for women. It's a fundamental shift in how us as human beings define ourselves.
@patrickharvie
@scottishgreens
I wouldn't call fighting for the word 'woman' not to be redefined in society, policy & law to include natal males a 'culture war'. We're a sex class, distinct from males and sometimes in life that has to be acknowledged.
@SophieMolly_SG
You are of course entitled to services but not at the same time as women because you are a transwoman and that is a subset of male and not female. Respect women's boundaries.

@SVPhillimore
I wonder why the Russel Group which listed gender critical speech as unlawful apologised and changed it then? Could it be that it was pointed out that it is actually lawful?
@bellacaledonia
This is a terrible review considering the issue revolves around women's rights & single sex spaces etc, not once is that mentioned. Only gender and how terrible it is that we use the term gender ideology.
@ivehaditpodcast
@mattxiv
Two middle class women so removed from the needs of vulnerable girls & women and presumably not into sports wonders what the fuss is about redefining the word 'woman' to include natal males in policy & law and society in general.

I understand you supporting your friend but you're giving false information about who needs cervical screen and why and you appear confused about the politics surrounding this issue and why it's important for girls and women.
@amayadeakins
@PixiesForest
We're not the same. You were born male, raised & socialised as a boy, you've had body modifications. Your worldview will always be through a male lens. Women see you.
@HazelAppleyard_
And men still talk entirely like men. Like the man in the skin tight white dress asking people their opinions on him using women's toilets etc, there's always one man like him on every committee I've ever been on.

Women are a sex class, we are a material reality and have unique life experiences and sometimes in life that really matters. Believing you are the opposite sex and adopting the behaviours & presentation associated with that doesn't literally mean you change your sex class.

@RachelSJohnson
It might surprise you but redefining the word 'woman' to include natal males is something we take very seriously because it means we are no longer a sex class in our own right. Being recognised as a sex class underpins everything.
@ZackPolanski
Since when was Wes Streeting right wing? Women & children's issues have cross party support. I've never voted Tory in my life but even I can see that there are legitimate concerns about changes in language, policy & law regarding women's rights.
@salltweets
Yes, looked how they've portrayed the woman too, a 'buttoned up' larger, older woman in a shapeless grey cardigan compared to a man wearing a stylish green dress. This is how they see us.

Legally is a legal fiction,it is on paper only. Body modification does not mean you literally change sex, a man who loses his peen in an accident is not a woman, a woman who has her breasts removed because of cancer is not a man, as is a women who no longer produces estrogen.
@redheadranting
I'm not a new terf, was peaked by JK Rowling's essay & what's happening in Scotland (live here) but I'm new to twitter, I'm a bit of a technophobe and a middle aged menopausal women who is mad as hell when people say 'trans women ARE women'.
@sunnysandeel
@salltweets
Your missing the point she's making, women have different experiences, you don't know what any woman has gone through in the past, she made the choice to leave and shouldn't be made to feel ashamed about that.
@legaltweetz
@jk_rowling
@JolyonMaugham
She's in a position to raise awareness about women & children's rights and thank god she did. Her essay brought to my attention what was happening here in Scotland, much of it by stealth as implications of self ID were not being reported in mainstream media.
@salltweets
It never ceases to amaze me how many men will define us and have an opinion on our rights & needs in life. I would never do that about men.
@roseveniceallan
It's never just about needing to pee, it's never just about treatment in hospital, it's about external validation, being treated as literally women, without that they can't live out the fantasy in their own head.
@RayAlexWilliams
I think it's a story that they have to tell themselves for self preservation. It's very hard to admit that they thought it was going to solve all their issues to only find that it doesn't.
@DreyfusJames
@Martina
I grew up in the 80's and Martina on court, I was speaking with my sister about transwomen in sport and the whole issue and she says "Well, Martina was practically a man so what's the problem with calling transwomen women?" Never been so disappointed in all my life.
@OakTreeLaneN

@ThePublicaNow
I could cry for those girls. What kind of message are we sending them? that they don't matter? I still can't believe this is being allowed to happen.
@MrMcEnaney
No, it's not. Redefining the word 'woman' to include natal men has consequences for women. And it's not just the word woman, they've also taken 'female'. The Care Inspectorate Scotland recommends trans women are recorded as female.
A once healthy woman now needs lifelong medical, with all the risks of infection (which could in theory reach kidneys and become life threatening), all because she thinks she's a man.
@ActualCorn
@GarakHimself
There's a whole backstory here which if I remember correctly didn't start with JK but someone else who was being patronised by a man who kept using her name in a tweet. It's a joke among women, men do this, it's little wonder you didn't get it.
@ThomasWillett9
And oh look, the police were able to respond and remove him, something that will be more difficult to do if societal norm is that anyone who self identifies as a woman can be in women's spaces.
@SophieMolly_SG

Listen to the transwomen who are accepting of themselves and not trying to claim to be literally women. I'm a woman and we're not the same, no matter how much you might wish it.

I've not listened again but I think what he says is he's not equipped to be in a room with OTHER men, therefore he knows he is a man.

I think it's for the same sort of reason that young girls were abused by grooming gangs, they viewed them as morally inferior because of their western culture, so it was okay to abuse them.
