I think what this guy fails to understand is that TIMs whether straight or gay, are not subjected to misogyny and are subjected to homophobia, because to homophobes, it doesn’t matter if a guy is attracted to women, if he dresses or acts effeminate, he is in their eyes, a
My uni has gender neutral toilets. Yesterday I had the period from hell (despite them only just starting again). The humiliation of simply unwrapping a pad with a man peeing next to you is something I, as a normally unphased female, was not expecting. 1/2
A few hours later, 'it's her time of the month' coming out the mouth of said man did not help either. I can't imagine how difficult these situations are for other women. Why are we allowing female spaces to be taken away like this? It's not right and I say no.
@TonysaurusRox
@Psychgirl211
Did you carry out anonymous research Tony because I don't know many women who would argue with their boss, even 30 years ago, for fear of losing their job. I also don't know many who would risk angering a TiM - we've learned the hard way to not anger men. So how do you know?
@ashatteredyouth
I'm honestly embarrassed for you. Permanent disfigurement with no option of reversing it. Do you see the irony? Why don't you realise that JKR is pro-female, which includes trans men? How can she be a transphobe for wanting to protect that sex-class from harms?
@AnnMSinnott
It isn't good enough! No man's crime should be recorded as a woman's. ALL crime statistics are based on sex. Include gender as an additional record by all means (helps us see a truer picture), but sex must be recorded.
@ChardineTaylor
I know an Asian girl called Cho Chang... Would you have preferred the character to be called Betty Smith? And make no reference to culture at all? Thereby completely erasing any notion of 'other'?
@angelaeagle
Who's disputing trans rights are human rights?If you're human, you have human rights. Your arguments are beginning to fall on deaf ears and it's all your own doing. Stop demanding vulnerable women kowtow to an ideology that increases their vulnerability. Then we might listen.
@GhawinRiver
All these words and you've misinterpreted what Dawkins said because of your bias towards 'trans'. He was referring to people with these conditions not "identifying" as 'intersex'. These people have a DSD. A medical condition. It is not an 'identity'.
@PositiveLad
Dude. It has never been ‘good’. Homophobia has never left. JKR has nothing to do with it though being that she isn’t actually transphobic. Blame her by all means. That pesky woman standing up for women and girls.
@KierHardlie
I lecture at several Universities, including 2 Russle Group institutes and the teaching quality has been forgotten in favour of research output (thanks mainly to REF it appears) across the board. Until the Teaching Fellow is re-instated, teaching quality will remain low.
@LouiseWluddite
@PartisanGay
This is so true. I study with lots of younger people and those who are gender-agnostic absolutely outnumber those who aren't, but are terrified to openly state their position, even when directly asked. I am obvious and they chat to me, but some do so only online. Telling.

@ITimbrell
@IndiaWilloughby
yeah of course you'd think an incredibly successful woman is "jealous" of a not-even-mediocre man grifting badly as what he thinks 'woman' is. So so jealous.
@JeremysChaos
@theneonrequiem
Pipe down, Jeremy. Women are adult human females and are absolutely a sex class. Our biology is why we are subjugated, exploited and abused the world over. Biology absolutely matters to us, our health and our safety. Do you get it yet?
@VeritySmith19
I mean, based on sex you absolutely 100% can play on the women's team. However, using testosterone would stop that. Therefore you'd need a trans or open team which allows testosterone use. It's really not that hard.
@hagenilda
Thank the science ai no longer am a member of UCU! If these 'women' can't see the truth in the Cass report they have no business in academia.
@billybragg
‘Good Role Models’ would never demonize women for wanting to have safe havens away from the male gaze. Good role models would understand why women and girls need that and help fight to end male violence. You, Mr Bragg, wouldn’t know a good role model if he shat on your rug.
@Chican3ry
You don't know women very well if you think we’ll just roll over and kowtow to trans identified men, or any other man telling us to. We accept you, we just don't want men, however they identify, having access to us when we are vulnerable. Why is that so hard to understand?
@lincynity
I've been raped. Twice. I do not want men anywhere near me when I am sick and vulnerable. Why are means feels more important than mine on a ward designed for me?
@AngelinaBlu35
@helenstaniland
@kathryn42
Even I, a butch perfectly-capable lesbian has lied to a TiMs face just to ensure I don't anger him and risk my safety. Just because some women are happy to give their rights away to men, doesn't mean they can give other woman’s rights away. Stop taking advantage of scared women!
@AyLaInvertida
@procubus

I tell you what else misogynists do... Tell women what a woman is and that we must include men in everything we do, including in our lesbianism.

I think, if you don't recognise that person you are so critical off, you perhaps shouldn't be commenting on whether these women are good enough to fight the good fight.

Respect is earned, not demanded. Willoughby and their ilk demanding women capitulate to their needs is nothing new. Women have been fighting this for centuries and I'm afraid, we will not stop because they demand it. 1ststop telling women what a woman is. 2nd give us our safety.

@ThomasWillett9
I'm a lesbian that gets mistaken for a man daily, especially on here. So what! It doesn't hurt me in any way. It only seems to bother the genderborg. I couldn't care less. A 2 second convo always sorts it out. No hassle. I fail to see your point.
@fawcettsociety
@BenendenHealth
It's not a gender gap. It's a sex gap you utter let downs! Do you think a trans identified female miraculously gets her heart attack symptoms recognised quicker because she's now a man? Really? This is why sex matters! Ignoring it kills women! Do better!
@JohnRowell3
@JayneOzanne
@BBCr4today
Go on Jayne, explain. What did Maya say that was transphobic? You belittle transphobia by labelling all opposing views as this. It does nothing to help trans people live their life.
@JeffMBourne
Poor Jeff doesn't understand the legislation. It doesn't stop anyone playing in sports. What it does do is ensure girls are safe and not disadvantaged by having boys in THEIR sport. Don't you care about girls Jeff? Are you a misogynist Jeff?
@GildaYork67
@claire88424030
I think you've hit the nail on the head. I socialise with quite a lot of TW and they all behave like this. I mean, women are cows but TW are jealous of any sign of female unity. Can't help themselves belittle women in that situation.
@Silenced_Woman_
@drnovocalcords
Thanks for providing this list. We have several near us and will be avoiding. Our world is getting smaller but thank goodness for those companies who value female needs.
There was a time women were equal to men... but let's erase that from history for women too. Must have been a transman hunter. Impossible that women hunted. 🙄 Idiots.
@Harry_Grout_
@sharrond62
Why are others choices more important than mine? Why must women always be expected to capitulate? I say no. I am a woman. I don't 'identify' as one. From personal experience, gender is fallacy.
@UglaStefania
No. It's because children and young people in an extremely vulnerable mental state are easily susceptible to your propaganda. It's called safeguarding and it's the same reason (in the UK) you can't visibly see cigarettes on the shelf. Stop thinking we hate you. We do not.

@bradhoylman
@DeborahJGlick
@tonysimone
Sit down you vile man. What do you know about girls being forced into spaces with boys? Absolutely nothing. Boys and men who play in girls' or women's sports are mediocre CHEATS. Nothing more.
@HoeslySteven
@christineburns
@Nancy_M_K
It's not. No panic and nothing to do with trans. It's about self ID and the concerns women have about their and girls safety in the face of exploitive me violence. Perhaps if more conversation took place with gender-athiests, TRA's would understand they aren't victims.
@Yorkshire_Woman
@bookishbabe11
That will 100% work. We had a lesbian knitting group (cake and coffee really) & when TiMs showed up we brought along other men too.They came twice and never saw them again for months. They did try again & the very next meet we did same and that was it. Gone. I forgot about that.
@WhatIsAWomanBot
Lol. I have a master's in Gender Studies. I'm also a detransitioner. There is no gender without gender stereotypes. That includes gender roles and all the other guff that you talk about above. Whatever I do in or out of society, I'm a woman regardless.
@Westies_Rock
@WorkPsychol
It’s a brave woman who’d dare tell a trans anything other than what they want to hear. The aggression goes off the chart if you don't affirm them. I doubt many ever tell the truth in front of you.
@sthompsonjones
I heard 2 girls a few years ago on the bus discussing their school policy of not letting anyone go to the loo during classes & the same happened to them. The very next day I was up there with a batch of printed out research papers all highlighted. The policy changed.
@LadyGegin
@vrarda1
@MsMelissaMattie
@PatsyeStevenson
Absolutely this. Women are happy to let trans be trans. Stop trying to force us into having male bodies in the spaces we need to feel safe and relaxed away from the male gaze and all will be well. Trans men are always welcome in those spaces, of course. Women are not transphobic.
@JPMasters
@DrDebraSoh
@DrPhil
Excuse me! My family had nothing to do with it. I was ill and convinced by medics that I should transition as I was “obviously” unhappy as a woman. Being sexually abused multiple times will do that I guess. A decade later minus my breasts I now realise this was bull.
@ThomasWillett9
Thomas. I'm seriously starting to question your honesty. Queer has been a slur for as long as I've been alive, and for a long time before that. What is new, and occurred at the same time as 'genderwoo', was the so-called 'taking back' of the term by the younger virtue signalers.
@ThomasWillett9
@AllianceLGB
I, as a gay person, have not. Why would the formation of an LGB charity make any of us unsafe? Is it your idiology forces you to be scared? I can't see any other reason for it.
@MadderQueen123
@itsjillgardner
@DanielJFalconer
I wish the people around me had been more truthful. Perhaps I would have realised that removing my breasts does not stop the very things I was trying to hide and run from. Leave a mother to mother how she sees fit. She knows best.
@AidanCTweets
Guess what Aidan, I'm part of the LGB crowd and I do go to her gigs and will continue to do so. There is nothing 'unsafe' about what she said. Facts are not unsafe. Quite the opposite.
@jess_do_it_x
@JournalistJill
Jess give it up! Your incessant challenging of what a woman says is a PERFECT example of why lesbians have done underground to ensure TiMs are excluded. You always tell women their reasons are wrong. Always. Poor little women simply can't have their own experiences or opinions
@CatchyMelodyNA
@SarahVaci
@DrProudman
How do women tell the nice TiM from the male thats got dressed up to wank in a woman's space? Or the one who's followed a 14 year old girl into the changing rooms? If you can explain that, without throwing women & girls under the bus, there would be zero argument.
@KatyMontgomerie
but because statistically, trans identified men commit more sexual crimes than non-trans men. That's safeguarding. Or haven't you been looking at the MoJ data?
@millihill
@pickedmylane
Oh come on Millie. You know women are terrified of the repercussions if they are found to be challenging the ideology. Not every woman is in a position to take that risk as you are but you would deny them a voice?
@Ashworth101
@FondOfBeetles
@SwipeWright
DSD people have repeatedly asked not to be referred to as "intersex", and have repeatedly stated it is a medical condition and not an "identity". That's pretty much all that needs saying really.
@Malvern_Starter
@RayOfPitchBlack
@Jamesd_1973
@MattWalshBlog
Fyi no they aren't. A woman denotes the maturity of the female in question. Girl = immature/young female, Woman = mature/older female. Ergo, transwomen = mature male wearing womancostume and confirming to self-perceived female stereotypes.
@skrebnits
@ProfDaveAndress
None of this is true. Caster was recorded as female at birth but genetalia was ambiguous. Only when forced to undergo testing due to complaints in athletics was it found Caster was XY. Caster is male but through no fault of their own, observed as female. Still male though.
@BpoolCouncil
So you went ahead despite evidence from other similar crossings showing they are difficult for guidedogs, sight impaired and horses? Doesn't seem very inclusive to me
@BpoolCouncil
@KarenAdamMSP
Do you walk around with your eyes and ears closed all day? I was there. There was no vitriol. Disappointment was clearly articulated at the fact you aren't addressing women's concerns. It's all that's needed to move forward. Why aren't you?
@D0GYUCK
I was older than that. Still managed to be talked into transitioning as a cure for my ails. I still don’t understand how it happened. I’m a well educated woman but in a very vulnerable state. Kids have no chance.
@kathmurray1
I love when they throw the 'I'm not an academic debate' at you. We ALL are an academic debate. That's what academia does. Debates EVERYTHING, especially theories such as gender theory! What are Universities doing if students don't understand what they are there for?
@closeted_egg_56
@lottelydia
You know it's not about 'worth'. It's about ensuring a *choice*. I transitioned at 21. Detransitioned at 35. Biggest regret? Taking away my ability to carry a child. I thought I understood what I was giving away. I did not. How does a 13yo make that decision?
@PinkNews
Nonsense! He was a gay man who did drag. He said it more than once and in the very video you've posted. Why do you continue to obscure reality? Are you ok?
@Baroness_Nichol
Is Kirstie still refusing to engage? If she really believed what she's saying she’d have no problem talking face to face. Tells us everything we need to know. Just another handmaiden in her ivory tower with no clue how this impacts marginalized women.
@SVPhillimore
There's a big difference (for me) between a male professional medic and a male professional medic forcing me to affirm his kink. One presents less risk to me than the other (based on both experience and statistics). You must know this
@JudithWBrighton
@ycove
Except you are told where to sit. You can't choose seats. Could it be that they just aren't funny? I went to their show last week and very few laughed. They are nearly there but too much 'poor me' going on and unfactual info. They're amusing but not lol funny (in my opinion).
@ThomasWillett9
Funnily enough Thomas, women can focus on many things at once. Just because you don't see women supporting other campaigns in your misogynistic feed it doesn't mean they aren't going on. Women have been fighting for abortion rights longer than you've been alive.
@baratheongirl
I was sexually assaulted in a toilet by a male stranger. So just because I didn't die or my rapist wasn't in a position of authority and you've never heard of me, do you think this doesn't happen? Really?
@msmarbles2017
I was gifted it and didn't finish a full chapter without moving on. I really wanted to find the good stuff after Penny's Tweeting this week... I gave up. The lack of research makes it nothing more than an opinion piece in my view.
@ThePrideBridge
This is my idea of hell. I just want to go about my business like everyone else. Why this constant need to parade us in everyone's faces? There are better, more effective and less devicive ways to be 'visible' if that's what you want.
