🧵Thanks once again to Billy Bragg, we're seeing the dregs of men trotting out the; she liked it really, she didn't fight back, she was asking for it, she shouldn't have put herself in that situation. ALL women have been there in some description and most of us learn early on.

Spot the difference. 2 pyjama shorts. One from the boys side and one from the girls side of the same store. Yes they are the same size.

@KariJaquesson Both these sets of pj's came in a package so I couldn't actually see the length of them. I had no reason to believe the 'girl' ones would be a different length to the 'boy' ones.

@RiggleElaine I shouldn't have to buy bike shorts though. Pj's for kids should cover them comfortably while they sleep.

Apparently #mumsnet is the big social problem in the UK that @metpoliceuk should be dealing with. Forget knife crime, femicide, child sexual abuse. It's all about Mumsnet.
Oh I wondered where these nasty vicious inhumane people were coming from. Time for me to unfollow and report Mumsnet to @metpoliceuk . Thanks for the info Tom.

@DreyfusJames It looks like neither of them are on TwiX and instead use Insta as their primary social media source. Seems like look at the pretty photos of happy trans lives, don't look at the removal of women's rights, the homophobia, the detrans stories, the safeguarding, the abuse. .

@varindeus It's vile. I quit alcohol, caffeine, paté, soft cheese. all the most delicious things, because I cared about what it could do to my milk. That's being a mother.They don't get that hormones and forcing secretions to affirm themselves is the opposite of what it means to be a mum.

Side 1 = Smoke bombs, covered faces .Side 2 = Women having to wear body cameras in case they're attacked . What are the women doing to invite such a violent backlash? . Talking about women's rights. That's it. Our sex based, legal rights.

You definitely failed to control the anger @lloyd_rm . And yet you still don't see that male anger like this is why women don't want to make it easier for ANY male to gain access to female single sex spaces.
Our job as MPs is to channel passion and anger into considered debate to win arguments - in this case for the Trans community and to defend devolution. I failed to control that passion…

Here's an idea for #DQSH have the men read NOT in drag, just as a GNC male. Seeing more men as caregivers would be great for children and inclusive by showing people don't have to conform to stereotypes. No womanface needed #RespectMySex.

@PinkNews A woman asked to speak, she spoke. She was within the crowd for at least 30 minutes, safely, chatting with other women. She spoke, she insulted and then she tried to remove / break the mic so other women couldn't speak. At no point was anyone violent towards her.

@LogikReks Well as a good jump off point we have
6,500 rapes & sexual assaults in hospitals were reported to police between January 2019 & October 2022. In a ‘safe space’ – horrific sexual violence is taking place. Our report highlighted the inexcusable failure in our hospitals – where we are at our most vulnerable. Why is this

@NYRecessionista @JoyceCarolOates If male violence patterns tended towards female violence patterns after transition it would be different. As it stands they don't. Men need to sort out male violence before I'll consider males in female spaces.

@HopefullyArting @FairPhantom1 @NutritionTaylor @2022arrested @marksandspencer We don't differentiate between TW and men because the violent offending stats are the same. While the pressure to accept TW into female spaces is there we will always push back. Again, we will support the creation of a 3rd space. Saying that our spaces are taken isn't transphobic.
