I've said it before and it needs saying again
I was a school governor in the mid 2000's
getting boys to read was a MASSIVE pedagogical issue
to which there was no solution
and then along came the wonderful
@jk_rowling
It is hard to exaggerate that effect
DON'T LOOK AWAY!
This is Roya Heshmati, a woman in Iran who just received 74 lashes from mullah regime thugs for not wearing an Islamic veil to cover her head.
Where the hell is the outrage from
#MeToo
crowd, U.S. feminists & Hollywood celebrities who cry about Gaza 24/7?!
@jk_rowling
When I was a school governor we had huge problems persuading boys to read books.
Then you came along.
Nowadays its a struggle to make people wake up about the erosion of womens' rights.
Then you came along.
My hero
@fem_mb
Are the gym aware that they are breaching the rights of religious and ethnic minority women
by allowing males into a female changing room
and that they are thus excluding
marginalised communities ?
Could you make them aware of religious and ethnic discrimination ?
@TheLancet
So a rich white middle aged man
magically
becomes "marginalised"
the day he "identifies"
as a Transwoman
Even though he still lives in his beautiful house with his beautiful wife and his beautiful job and beautiful car
REALLY ?
@sharrond62
Every parent of a girl who swims or cycles or runs
can now see that they would be excluded from fair competition
if males can pretend to be females
@nathankw
Remember that
@newscientist
drags 'non binary' into every biology story it can
managed to write a story about Roe v Wade without using the word woman
and has used "assigned at birth" in several articles.
It is utterly shocking how unscientific
many scientists have been.
@NoXYinXXprisons
Why are the Police so unwilling to release an accurate arrest mugshot of that individual ?
Why are the courts so careful to ensure that no pictures of him at the court door emerge ?
Could it be that his real appearance would utterly expose the lies of the Stonewalled police ?

@Mermaids_Gender
Religious cults are notorious
for trying to separate vulnerable youngsters
from their families
and make them reliant on the cult leaders.
Gender is a religion

@wundt_vil
If the person was DBS checked under a female name without a GRC then the DBS check is likely incomplete.
The parent should raise it with Ofsted as a safeguarding fail.
Why in 2022 did DVLA change the
sex marker on 2,445 licences
when only 495 GRCs were issued in that year ?
Are
@DVLAgovuk
secretly operating
#selfid
and thus weakening the database that
@metpoliceuk
plan to use for facial recognition crime prevention ?
@jk_rowling
Not as happy as you made every librarian and teacher and parent around then.
As with all things we forget what was "before"
My kids migrated on to Arthur Ransome
but literacy for children was enhanced for all
and you were key
@lborouniversity
What do you paint on the road for Asian history month ?
How much is your budget for celebrating disabled history month ?
Which flag do you fly to celebrate mature students ?
@WilfredsGang
@jk_rowling
Good.
A BIG part of the problem is that kids have been told about stuff JK (and we) have said / written
that never happened
allowing discussion HAS to be the way.
@ZelenskyyUa
@BorisJohnson
Every Russian soldier you capture ....
feed them a hot meal.
Their families will receive back not
ashes and martyrs
but young men who realise that Ukranians are good people.
@MForstater
I have to say and I've said it before.
I started an ET
I lasted 16 months and buckled and settled
(financially it was right for me)
It absolutely broke me
- I am effing stubborn -
YOU ARE A LEGEND
@lorraine
@hannahw253
Astounding the number of journalists today
NOT
joining the dots between making a
"sacred class with special ID form"
and the
#davidcarrick
case
Our concerns are NOT about "trans people"
they are about
Predatory and abusive men
who take what opportunities arise

@Docstockk
@ALLIANCELGB
Mermaids do not seem to realise that if they win against LGBA
then lots of other (faith) charities that hate what Mermaids and Stonewall do
will have an open goal.
I cannot see it being allowed because each charity stands on its own merits
not the perception of another.
@SVPhillimore
But he has already been charged, convicted and sentenced.
He is in breach of the terms of his sentence
so should serve the rest of it back under lock and key.
July is Disability Awareness Month
but
NONE of the big listed companies
NONE of the Government departments
NONE of the media companies
Shout loud to fight for the truly marginalised
I will though
🧵 Nightmare continues. I wasn’t sure about sharing what went on y’day as it was horrific but people should know what I’m about to say. Wednesday evening I decided, with realistic & honest chats with my team that I wanted to leave. 1/5
The Passport Office and the DBS have been allowing self ID.
I have used
@WhatDoTheyKnow
to ask
- how many 'trans' people are getting DBS
- what checks are done on them
- how many people have changed the sex marker on their passport.
Its revealing
@TZieve
The world press did not ask for video evidence of the interior of the Bataclan
The world press did not ask for video evidence of the 7/7 Underground trains
The world press did not ask for video evidence of Beslan
The world press did not ask for video evidence of Sandy Hook
@sarahvibert82
Can you not see why it would have destroyed the whole charity sector
had the vexatious claims of Mermaids
been allowed to stand ?
Can you not?
Really ?
@HannahAlOthman
Years ago I helped a girl who was passed out drunk and called an ambulance.
Months later a stranger ran up and hugged me.
Even in her stupor she remembered my face.
She was worth it.
@MujerGuerrera78
Any performer / presenter / teacher / helper
who objects to being asked to have an enhanced DBS
(which costs the same as a basic one)
should be automatically barred from working with
- children
- the elderly
- those with disabilities

Hopefully the NYT will retain a shred of journalistic integrity
and keep reporting facts
and not pander to feelings
"Gender Affirming Care" will be a medical scandal greater that Lobotomies and Thalidomide
@Baroness_Nichol
If medical records do not accurately describe a patient and their history, they are worthless for treatment in an urgent care situation.
@JournalistJill
THIS.
I saw him perform live many years ago.
He was brilliant.
A non compromising non conforming bloke.
Whoever told him to pretend he was a women
destroyed his career
AND our trust in politics
@STILLTish
@JohnCleese
It is not a "trans rights" debate
It is a "rights of women" debate
and women are 52% of the electorate
Its all about which question you ask
"Do women and the elderly and the disabled have the right to single / same sex spaces and care ?"
@WomensRightsNet
@metpoliceuk
@CanSG_org
The police failed at the first hurdle.
The protestors trying to interfere with a legal event
should have NEVER been allowed within 20 feet of the building.

If balaclava clad men charged "the queue"
they would be arrested
If balaclava clad men shouted at the groups in Leicester
they would be arrested
If balaclava clad men interrupted the proms
they would be arrested
but women speaking up
nah
@obsolete__units
Two other children were stabbed to death that same weekend.
Why were no vigils held across the land for them ?
Because a very mainstream, very powerful
lobby group
does not care about
Age
Race
Religion
Sex
Disability

Put a review on Google maps
and if you were festival goers, let those organisers know as well.
Festivals HAVE to be welcoming to as many people as possible.
That involves NOT pandering to a narrow minority.
White middle aged folks who got their PhD with a male name at UK Universities
are NOT in short supply in Physics.
This picture tells
women, girls, the disabled and ethnic minorities
that new ways to exclude them have been found

No, it would bar MEN from female spaces and sports.
Do women and girls have the right to single sex washrooms while having their period ?
Yes or no ?

For the record, Baker is on film here, randomly screaming threats at a passer by
who asked the police to arrest the beret wearer
and they refused to act
@EHRC
There are nine protected Characteristics.
@EHRCChair
should be rightfully proud that she has brought in an ethos that protects
- age
- religion
- disability
- sexuality
- sex
- maternity status
- race
- marital status
as well as progression towards a GRC
Stay strong
@Craig_Simpson_
Any libraries that are council run are covered by the
Public Sector Equality Duty
Censoring what books are displayed
is contrary to that
@WitchyMcWitch
How many women will they jail for telling the truth when we see a man ?
How many women will be charged for telling the truth under oath ?
An unworkable law ignored by all those who know about it
can be stopped.

Who do you "partner with" for the disabled ?
Who do you "partner with" for the elderly ?
Who do you "partner with" for South Asians ?
Or are you very discriminatory
in breach of

in your choice of causes ?
I had to say goodbye to my desk helper today.
She stuck her nose into zoom calls.
She walked across the keyboard.
She put paw prints on working papers.
She will be missed

As a Mum, your words make me very, sad. I suspect your mum is the same.
BUT
You and she can be proud that you are trying to help others.
Well done that boy.

@MForstater
I had to give up my ET because of the costs.
If crowdfunding is allowed to count against employees
while employers can still tax deduct their legal costs
there is NO legal redress for any but the super rich.
@OwenJHurcum
You are the Buggins turn mayor for a third Tier council
whose Transparency Code compliance is deficient
so how about you get your council to comply with the law and stop posing
I'm watching. I will report you to
@walesaudit
@Leftie_laura
Why?
Women are 50% of the electorate.
The specific needs and wishes of those of the female sex
should be a priority for a party that wants to win elections.
