When I was 9 and a bit of a ‘weird kid’, JK Rowling’s books gave me the escapism, solace and joy I needed to survive school. Now I’m an adult, she sets an example of integrity, strength and dignity. I’m so grateful there are role models like her in the world.

We were backed up against the Academy building and had people - overwhelmingly men - encircling us waving abusive signs and sounding what sounded like police sirens. We kept going, but it was claustrophobic and intimidating.
The Hate Monsters and placards are lovely but, in reality, women have been penned, surrounded on 3 sides by screaming masked thugs.

As a woman, how am I expected to feel when I see such a parody of women’s bodies worn like a costume in a professional setting? Why is Oakville Trafalgar High subjecting pupils, staff and women globally to this mockery of what it is to be born a woman?
BREAKING: Oakville Trafalgar High School has come out in defense of a male teacher who has been wearing a massive prosthetic bust, complete with protruding nipples, to class.
In an email sent to parents, the school says "gender identity" is protected.
