Gender-neutral language is a scam
Dr. Ann Olivarius
@AnnOlivarius11h
"One in Ten Adults". "People". "Persons". For the first 27 lines of this article, it's a mystery to the reader who overwhelmingly beats up who. This article is a mess: careful gender-neutral language, no hard data - but only featuring female victims. thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…

Nearly one in ten adults are victims of domestic abuse

Official crime figures show an estimated 4.7m people suffered abuse in England and Wales as charities warn Labour it risks missing its target to halve violence

If I’m on a panel I find out who else is. Not to police them or their views but to be sure that it’s not a ‘manel’ (unless it’s something exclusively about the subjective experience of being a man) In this case, it looks like no one asked anyone anything. Absurd 😞

New #Spycops documentary on former Tory councillor Andy Coles. In early 90s he was a married 32 year old cop infiltrating animal rights campaigns when he exploited ‘Jessica’, then a teenage activist, for sex and cover. His actions were an abuse of power. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Scams & Scandals - Sex, Lies & Spies

For decades, undercover police infiltrated protest groups to gather intelligence.  Some deceived women activists into sexual relationships. One former officer faces explosive allegations he denies.

The police have identified DA as a critical threat, contributing to 65% of VAWG offences. But despite this, it is still not being treated as a national priority. As policing undergoes its biggest reforms in decades, DA must be central to that agenda. ⬇️ mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/vi…

Violence against women and girls soars as boys targeted by harmful social media

You can’t be a good dad and an abusive partner. Dr Emma Katz is clear: the problem is the abuser. Coercive control harms children psychologically even when no one is hit. Impacts continue after separation. “Bad partner, good dad” is an outdated myth. Courts and social workers still force contact while children come home distressed. Research shows the most common outcome when contact stops is children ending up happy and safe. This is the system failure I write about. 🆘️Cases & support: nataliepage.co.uk/cases/ 📕Book: The System Is The Weapon 🇬🇧UK: amazon.co.uk/System-Weapon-A… 🇺🇸US: amazon.com/System-Weapon-Abu… 🇪🇺🇦🇺Europe & Australia: search the title on your local Amazon. 🔗📰 Article: dremmakatz.substack.com/p/yo…

The ratio of male : female teachers*, aggregated across England, Scotland & Wales is approximately: Primary 15% M : 85% F Secondary 35% M : 65% F (teachers* - not support staff) Do u think govt/s should strive for 50/50 M/F in schools or be laissez-faire about the imbalance?
42%Strive for 50/50

This is a woefully bad Bill, dressed up as something good, and pushed by MPs who have no clue. Thankfully, vile gay conversion has been illegal for many years. But attempts to define 'being yourself' to a child who is gender confused?! Experts in the complex psychology of this like @marcuse99903226 and @JamesEsses, legal experts like @akuareindorf and @Jebadoo2 explain over and over why this Bill will cause harm and homophobia. As @AllianceLGB warn, it's about 'transing away the gay' 💔

I think separation by sex (I won't say 'biological sex' as there is no other kind) is desirable & ethical in all medical spaces where vulnerable patients are being treated, including A&E and in-patient wards. It promotes safety, dignity & peace of mind for all What do you think?
97%Agree. Clear, easy, fair
0%Not sure. Need to ponder
3%Disagree. I explain below

Isn’t it lovely to see nice people saying nice things about one’s deceased mother? Being in the correct ward according to one’s biological sex is important for an individuals healthcare. I know I’m not wrong, but STFU about my mum. Cheers you lovely lot x
