One hundred years ago in 1925 women finally won the fight to have their own, single sex swimming pond on Hampstead Heath. Please can we have it back now?

The parkrun 'argument': "So a race is a running event?" "Yep" "Pre-scheduled and you have to sign up ahead of time?" "Yep" "With a specified course?" "Yep" "Everyone starts at the same time and runs from point A to point B where there's a finish line?" "Yep" "And they

Why do grown men think it's clever to tell women and girls there's nothing we can do to keep them out of our single sex spaces? Do they not understand they are the men who make those spaces necessary? And why are so many powerful people, institutions and organisations support

Peadar Toibin @Toibin1 spoke in the Dáil on the issue of convicted men being housed in women’s prisons because they “identify as women” “Gender Recognition Amendment Bill” was raised. The Bill was drafted by @laoisedebrun and Aontu raised it in the Dáil. Countess teams

Excellent speech from @Toibin1 Labour came across as naive and ill informed of the reality of “gender affirming care”. As more and more de-transitioners speak of the harms they experienced from these interventions, the lack of any mention of de-transitioners is worrying.
Excellent speech by @Toibin1 in Dáil Éireann this morning. Ireland is the only English speaking country in the world to reject WPATH, we have managed to maintain some sanity in our national services; but we’re now gearing up to throw it all away, 10 years after everyone else

@sappholives83 That's also been the definition since the first dictionary was published in 1755. And it was the only definition up until a bunch of oddballs on Tumblr decided to queer reality in the late 2000s.

@labour @marie_sherlock As an Irish taxpayer I don't want a single cent of my tax spent on irreversibly damaging minors/ adults. No puberty blockers, no wrong-sex sterilising hormones, no elective mastectomies, no penectomies or dreadful surgeries to create genital simulacra paid from my tax. I object!

The oireachtas debates leading to the passing of the Gender Recognition Act were primarily focused on the “medical model” which would have necessitated the involvement of medical experts before issuing a GRC. A small Oireachtas committee, following intense lobbying by trans

So...a Palestinian based in Indonesia is organising a petition to change the name of a Dublin park named after an Irish man born in Belfast and raised in Dublin and replace with the name of a Palestinian child who had no Irish links. Why not? 2025 has been that kind of year.
I am signing this petition to rename the Herzog park to Hind Rajab Park. Please, everyone, sign it. https://t.co/GgWmcIE3eD

Don’t post pics of your kids online. This is important. When I worked sex crimes, we’d find photos of random kids and info from parents’ Facebook accounts on suspects’ hard drives. Not pornographic material, but still being used as fuel for fantasies. 1/
