To clarify: my legal case against Bristol Uni is not about "listening to views I disagree with made me feel unsafe/offended." My case is: I was personally hounded (in & out of campus), around the UK by students who felt entitled to control what I said about my area of expertise.

To anyone still claiming "there are two sides behaving badly", I would suggest looking at these images, from this week: one is calling for women to be burned (as in, burned) while the other is calling for women to be consulted when it comes to changes in the law. @SpeakUp4WomenNZ

from the inside out. It was difficult & I felt alone, much of the time. But it was one of the best decisions I've made because it challenged my thinking, forced me to develop better arguments & overall made me a lot sharper. The above is not for everyone but it made me stronger.

Thank you all for the offers of support. I have made a decision to not set up a crowdfunder. The abuse I was forced to endure had perpetrators: Nic Shall/Aaron and @BristolUni . The women's rights movement shouldnt have to pay for the abuse of a bully and a heartless institution.

Thank you to journalist Peter Stanford and everyone at @Telegraph . I said: " @BristolUni washed their hands of what had happened. It sent out the message that the bullying and harassment of me is OK. It came across like they were scared of trans activists."

Anxiety almost kept me from #FiLiA2021 . Having had a proper night's sleep & a lovely @FiLiA_charity team meeting, I'm so glad I pushed through and went. It is such a magical experience to be surrounded by so many wonderful women from all over the world. Can't wait for #FiLiA2022 !

Thank you @talkRADIO for asking @FiLiA_charity for comment regarding @StonewallUK lobbying to erase word "mother". Tonight at 10:20pm. Our position is clear: Words around motherhood are not dirty words. As a matter of fact, "maternity" is protected characteristic in the EA 2010.

Look at these numbers. Within two days, Spain and Germany, both countries that should have been in the pocket ages ago decided to let reason reign & rejected anti-democratic pseudoscience. Who's next? Obviously thank you to all the women & men fighting and pushing back. Cheers!

I have heard a lot of views I disagreed with in the four universities I've been in. For my MA in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, I deliberately chose a programme theoratically located at the opposite end of my own views, precisely because I wanted to understand their views..

A @Womans_Place_UK is @WeAreWithWoman : "Speakers explore birth, motherhood, obstetric violence as violence against women, mothers' experience of domestic violence & importance of sex-based language & feminist analysis." The transactivist gathering evidence on those evil witches.

All the women in this picture (myself included) are supposed to be "serious and sensible women's rights campaigners", but I swear that if that bus had subtitles, it would simply read: **LOUD AND INCOHERENT SHRIEKING**

No child is born in the wrong body. Teaching this to children was, is, and will always be nothing but undiluted bullshit. Now that this is all falling down like dominoes, I would like to thank everyone who put children's right to stereotype-free lives first. Well done!

Wrote for @UnHerd : "Feminists in senior positions within academia are suffering at the hands of trans activist students. But nobody is more vulnerable within academia than students and early career researchers." My first piece for @UnHerd . I am SO HAPPY!!

On my way to Bristol. Tired, soo sleepy and my feet are killing me. Proper tweeting will resume tomorrow, but I can't go to bed without: 1. Saying thank you to @FiLiA_charity for making #FiLiA2021 happen and for welcoming me to the team. 2. Sharing my epic dinasour picture!♀️💜

Dear everyone, My case will be from Feb-Apr 2022. While this is not the date I wanted, I can see now it's a prudent one. My legal team got a lot more than we expected, while @BristolUni got nothing. Thank you all for your kindness on this difficult matter.

On May 28th, Student B had to be removed by Campus Security after they were found wearing a balaclava & pacing down the halls where I was due to speak. If @BristolUni pretends this isn't a safety issue and decided to designate me "the abusable student" on campus, they are wrong.

Dear everyone, Please support my legal case. This is a very important case about sex discrimination & negligence. It's not fully funded yet. If you could please donate £20 and/or share this page with people who can, it would help put this concern behind me.

Dear everyone, On a personal level, thank you all for the kindness and solidarity on this matter. It's been difficult to go through this silently over the past year, on top of everything else. But we remain undaunted: women have the right to say "no." And that's a full sentence.

Our Statement on the Bristol SU. We are considering our options, mindful that treatment we received is unacceptable and this is about protecting women’s right to freedom of speech, freedom of association and single sex exemptions in the Equality Act 2010.

Extra points if the woman making the analysis belongs to a community The Gender Police think they own, because it always brings out their racist & colonialist tendencies. Respect to Chimamanda, OG Queen of Unlikable Witches everywhere. Here's my article:

Thank you @Womans_Place_UK for publishing my translation of the PSOE statement. It reads: "Women are neither an identity nor an essence. The sex with which females are born determines their position in the world. The political subject of feminism is women."

In this women's liberation movement, I meet fellow sisters who see the threats, censoring, neutralising, bullying & harassment, violence & abuse and respond: "What else have you got? I'm gonna win either way" Every time, its the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. #INeverLose
