I can’t get over how @lisanandy is warning today against male power exploiting women (in the media) but seems quite sanguine about males who identify as women using their power to dominate & deny women sex-based rights. How does she make it all add up?

Nottingham: where they let mothers and babies die in the hospitals, don't protect young women from madmen like Calocane, female police officers have to live in an atmosphere of rape jokes and threats, and men protest women's equal access to public spaces at night. I live here 😩
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026 The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment But we stayed strong and finished our march Power to the women ♀️💜💚🤍

More revelations about the trans activist Chair of the Pre Legislative Scrutiny Committee on the draft Conversion Therapy Bill. @ABarrosCurtis doesn't approve of women who believe in biological reality. How on earth can he fulfill his role impartially?
BTW @ABarrosCurtis was director of legal when this whole row happened telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01…

I may have accidentally met Russell Brand once or seventeen times where I inadvertently referred to Brand as a political colossus & mankind's preeminent thinker as he guest edited my magazine, but this sycophantic praise was my way of expressing how much I utterly detested him .

Replying to @GoodLawProject
When I met Jolyon Maugham a few years ago I asked him what he had against LGB Alliance. He told me that it was because we could not possibly have held conferences at the QEII centre without men organising and funding us. When I tried to discuss this with him further he physically turned his back to me and told me that he refused to engage any further. He silenced me. Then he took a case to the Charity Commission to have LGB Alliance struck off the register. He wanted to silence us. Now he is saying he wishes to support women who have been "abused into silence". Are you planning to reimburse our supporters with the £250k your vexatious court case cost us Jolyon? Let's flip the fear Jolyon - and get you in the dock for terrorising so many women over the years and abusing the law so to do.

This is the man who hounded @RosieDuffield1 for a couple of years over liking a tweet He is a full on TRA who thinks women’s rights are secondary to men’s fantasies and fetish He was a crony of Sir Keir and gifted a safe seat for services to misogyny

Imagine being in your first week of social work training and being told that some of your fellow students might be there to gain access to vulnerable children. Shocking, right? But this social worker’s point applies anywhere adults work with children. Some people will seek out those roles for the wrong reasons. And the person whose behaviour you need to question might be the nicest person you know. She also makes an important point about why safeguarding starts with having a clear sense of what’s normal and what isn’t. Once that boundary starts to blur, it’s easier for someone to cross it without being challenged. I wish I’d seen this video years ago. I can think of times when something felt off and I kept quiet because I worried I might be wrong or cause offence. Thanks @JournalistJill for highlighting it.

I was in the group of women on this street stall today. Honestly I wanted to weep for the teenage girls who no longer have their own toilets at school because some idiot in charge has forgotten that safeguarding matters. Although these resourceful girls have come up with a solution: girls use the cubicles on one side of the room and boys on the other. We asked what happens if a boy uses the wrong cubicle? ‘We tell them to get back to their side.’ Well done girls. 👏🏼 But it shouldn’t have to be like this.
WRN Wales members took to the streets of Carmarthen today to spread the word about the dangers of mixed-sex changing rooms in clothing stores, as part of our Red Flag Campaign. Lots of interesting conversations, including: 🚩 The teenage girls who told us they liked it when it was just girls in shop changing rooms (more fun) and they didn’t like boys in their toilets at school either. 🚩 The dads of daughters who fear for their safety in mixed-sex spaces. 🚩 The women who won’t try clothes on in store because ‘I don’t want to be in a cubicle next to a man’. Our message to retailers… customers don’t like mixed-sex changing rooms. The safest changing room is a single-sex changing room.

Furthermore, please stop describing CHILDREN as "lesbian, gay or bisexual". Children do not have sexual orientations. They are children. If you mean young people whose sexuality is emerging, make that clear. You of all people should have learnt to be extremely careful about this.

“There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language”. Women’s and girls’ sex-based legal rights are ‘fascism’ apparently. 🤦‍♀️
Politicians in the Senedd sometimes seem to be far removed from the general public, but their irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric can spill out of the Cardiff bubble and into the real world where women standing up for their lawful rights are threatened and abused. We call on them to have more responsibility for their language, and higher standards of behaviour. 1/

I fully support an app exclusively for “trans, non-binary and gender diverse adults”. Create as many things exclusively for yourselves as you want. Stay in them for all I care. All I ask is the same courtesy is given to any app, space & event that is specifically “woman only”…

Like Elaine, I didn’t get what Germaine Greer was on about when I first heard this quote of hers as a young woman. I get it now. Transactivism showed me exactly how many men were only pretending to go along with the idea that women were their equals, and positively besides themselves with glee at the opportunity that transactivism gave them to openly abuse and hate women. There’s no coming back from it once you see it. Not all men, but far more of them than we’d like to believe.
When I first read this in The Female Eunuch I thought “steady on, Germaine, that’s a bit much”. I soon realised she was right. Twitter can be a hard read.

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

it's wild to hear the same people say: - sports aren't important - there aren't that many trans girls so the impact is small - but trans girls will kill themselves if they can't play on the girls team like, it just isn't a coherent set of beliefs

Remember these girls were forced to change twice a day with an intact man who made it known he was attracted to females; they were told to adjust their thinking or leave!
Thank you Josh Hawley!👏👏🔥🔥

MtF: “This is probably like the 4th lesbian event in a row that I’ve been to that this has essentially been my experience. These events that we’re going to are advertising themselves as ‘trans-inclusive’ [but] at what point does ‘trans-inclusive’ [actually] mean ‘trans-accepting’? “Last night I was with a group of 3 ‘cis’ girls [at a lesbian event]. We would be in our group, and then we would merge with another group, and the other group would be very interested in talking to the three of [them] and were not including me in any way, shape or form … that doesn’t feel like a ‘trans-inclusive’ event.” This MtF “transwoman” stubbornly refuses to accept that most gay female people simply AREN’T COMFORTABLE with heterosexual males like him entering our “lesbian” spaces! We just want men like him to GO AWAY! But instead of picking up on that and keeping a respectful distance from lesbians moving forward, this “transwoman” is getting on podcasts to try to strong-arm lesbians into being more “inclusive” of males like him —STRAIGHT MALES who literally wish they could BE us —in our sexuality-based spaces and events. Enough is enough!
A male that’s larping as a woman is complaining about his experience in a lesbian bar that says it’s inclusive to males aka trans women. The bar has decided to be inclusive, that doesn’t mean the lesbians in that bar have to pretend they don’t know you’re a male. How narcissistic are these males ? First they wanted in on women’s spaces now they want all the women in these spaces to fawn over these men and pretend they are a woman and treat them as such.

Thanks @suzanne_moore for speaking up for girls: "The Labour fools who like to present themselves as trans allies are no friends to teenage girls. If they were, they would say that we ARE our bodies & our inner feelings can never simply override biology, however much we want them to. We would accept too that girls can be as gender non-conforming as they like without being trans. "Anyone who thinks that we need legislation about this is deluded. This bill is a waste of time & money. Hasn’t the Government got better things to do?" With share token ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/gift/b03a3be… telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…

Why do women’s rights hold no value for Plaid Cymru? Natasha Asghar, Chair of the Cross-Party Group on Women’s and Girls’ Rights in Wales, asked the Deputy First Minister some very clear questions yesterday. The questions related to the withdrawal of a Plaid MS from this important Group amid serious reports of bullying from male party staff. Once again, @Sioned_W failed to answer a single question, seemingly excusing the outrageous behaviour by providing a muddled word salad about other areas of Welsh Government work. Notably, she also failed to address or deny the bullying allegations.
🤯 Plaid Cymru is openly admitting that protecting women's & girls' rights doesn't align the party's values 🚨 A Plaid MS was allegedly bullied by party staffers into quitting a group focusing on this important topic! 👇 They don't care about protecting women and girls
