My mam rang me earlier to tell me she met a cat sat on the doormat inside a morrisons store. She says it was very friendly and let her look at its collar. The disc read "I am loved and have a good home, I just really like Morrisons"
😂🐈 They had to get that engraved 💀
I want single sex toilets and changing facilities, not because I want to 'check' your genitals, but because I want to be sure that I will never have to see them.
Thanks.
I retired from HM Royal Navy in January 2021 after 23 years service. In February 2021, I'm proud to announce that I've joined Dr Em's bot army. I've been "unleashed" on a mediocre stand up 'comedian'. The most unworthy adversary.
2021 Here's to my new career.

It's one of the reasons Perry wasn't caught sooner. His DNA on file, but new identity of 'woman' meant he was checked out. It was when he was picked up for firearms offences and DNA collected in New identity that the made the connection.
@HotGirltm
Anyone remotely concerned with femininity, other than to dismantle it, is not a feminist.
Anyone assessing women based on appearances, eyebrows, femininity, etc...is not a feminist.
Thanks for coming.
@DonovanCleckley
The male person, fully clothed, casual, noted for their achievements...The female person is stripped bare, no achievements mentioned, insecurities are the byline.
Transgenderism is old fashioned sexism, rolled in glitter.

It wasn't just some members of staff, it wasn't an oversight or mistake. It's what the whole org does. They market fetish stuff for children. This was a feature, not a bug.
Their website has had a bit of a tidy up over night, so they know what they were doing was wrong.
I had an awful pang of guilt when I woke up. I remembered that my dad had asked me to cut his hair. My thought was "shit! I need to cut my dad's hair, he's been waiting weeks!"
Then I remembered that he died a week after asking.

We never got a dialogue, mate. Female humans all around the world and throughout history have been subjected to brutal, even murderous sexism. They didn't agree to it in advance.
@charlesthomas
This is a great point. The women you call T*RF are not motivated by fear or hatred of 'transness' but the knowledge that some adult male humans are dangerous. Thank you.
Well, it's been a sad day here at Clarke towers. My dad died this evening. I'm going to lock my account for a bit and may (or may not) be quiet for a few days. Please follow and retweet

I probably wouldn't be trying to override other people's boundaries, for fucking starters.
Nothing like a male insisting on being present where women undress to reassure us all.
If this is happening - and only now - could it be the result of a recently emerged and very vocal political movement to give men the right to use women's facilities?
In today's dog news, Gary the lurcher has licked the scratch on his leg so much, it is going manky. Just as I thought it had healed. I've run out of dressings so have had to use my initiative.

He seems genuinely surprised that these people aren't rational. 🤣🤣
Maybe he believed they were all pretending, like him.
Owen, a lot of them really do believe the crap you pretend to believe. Good luck.
Even if - and it's a big IF - a Transwoman is a woman trapped in a man's body, it's a man's body! So man jail and man sport!
If I could wake up tomorrow in a man's body, there are many things I'd do! Insisting that I compete with female bodies in sports is not one of them.
@volker_turk
Like the right to refuse strip search by a male officer? The right to receive intimate care from only female health professionals? That kind of autonomy and agency?
I shan't angrily deny transwomen's periods. I'll just casually deny transwomen's periods. Because they don't have periods and I'm not the one who's angry about it.
"just CPTSD"
Her book was only published a few weeks ago. In that time, she's had a few unfavourable reviews, developed cPTSD, been diagnosed and recovered enough to talk about it.
That's not how cPTSD or PTSD work.
Suddenly I was: having rolling panic attacks, bone-tired, confused and constantly cold in a way I’ve only experienced before in the immediacy of deep grief. Thought I had COVID. Nope, just CPTSD. I’m truly, honestly much better now- but it was honestly scary for a few days.>

Can't wait for a book on 'Gender' in sport by a bloke who, by his own admission, knows little about it.
It's as though there are no fearless authorities on that topic from all angles already.

Not that I need to answer to any of you, but this type of judgement, mistaking quiet for opposition, caution for incuriosity is your problem not mine. FYI I am writing a book about gender in sport. I have no obligation to speak on any subject except of my choosing when I choose.
Feminism is for people who face problems in life that are caused by being female. Feminism is for transmen, whether they like it or not. It is not for transwomen, whether they like it or not.
I've said this before, Stonewall is a protection racket.
If an org or company doesn't pay up for 'training' etc, isn't on the 'champions' list, they are in the crosshairs. If a company fails to deal with an errant employee, then the threats start.
”The complaint included a threat that Stonewall’s relationship with chambers would be damaged unless chambers took action against me.”
This is insidious. Stonewall is no longer a lesbian and gay rights organisation. It is a sexist and homophobic Gender Identity lobby group.
A baby bluetit bounced off my window just now. When I went out it was shaking on the floor on its back. I lifted it to place it safely in the shade but it expired in my hands. Downer.

@joslyoung
The thing is Billy, that huge amounts of money and effort and time is dedicated to tackling drug, gang, knife, gun, and other types of organised crime. That's where the male on male fatalities are mostly found. It isn't addressed as sex-based, because it isn't sex-based.

A mere 100 years ago, in the UK, there were no ladies conveniences. This was in line with the social concept of women being in the home. It was called the 'bladder leash'. Toilets are more significant that you realise. As we argue about this, women are murdered in India >>
@stellacreasy
Do you condemn use of the term 'Birthing person' to refer to anyone else's mother?
Whether that tweet is "unpleasant" or disrespectful hinges on this question.
Do you find 'Birthing person' disrespectful per se? Are you condemning use of it?
If not, you can ride this out.

Why do you think transgender children wouldn't benefit from being told to put others first? Why is it just girls that need to shelve their aspiration for others?
And winning fairly in your own sport is not oppressive to anyone.

I have to ask if Zach thinks female anatomy exists? Because if he thinks it does, how does he square that with no language ever having evolved to describe it? If, as he says, the familiar language for women means only social baggage, why? Seems improbable to me.
@michaelwhite
How do you suppose an employment tribunal would deal with war and starvation?
Should we halt all civil law court activities until there's no more war in the world?
Again, for the cheap seats: If TRAs thought transwomen really needed and wanted refuges, they'd be setting them up with all the funding they have and full feminist support. Women's refuges would advise and assist.
It's not about need.
Just had a pint with a mate who's deafblind. He told me about his recent 'work capability assessment' at the job centre.
He's on a 10 year reassessment.
He asked why as his condition can't improve. The lass told him it's because they might invent a "robot eye" for him. 🤣
@PoliticalNomad1
@tomhfh
It's a weird, genuinely discriminatory position the 'case by case' argument. If you accept some male people into a women's sport, it would then be impossible to 'fairly' exclude others.
Sorry. I just can't care about that Jamil woman's opinions, other people's opinions on her opinions or the opinions people hold of the opinions others hold on her opinions.
I suggest it's not worth falling out over.
@Alancumming
@thetimes
You do realise women have their own experiences to draw upon when deciding if they want men to be present where they take their clothes off? We know when sex matters, we don't need blokes in ivory towers telling us what to think.
They can't operate so my mam is being transfered to end of life care now. We're planning to bring her home on Friday and care for her here.
I may be quite quiet online for a while. Or I might be very whiney and ranty, it's impossible to know. I apologise in advance.
They admitted my mam last week ostensibly to ensure her colonoscopy and polyp removal would go ahead. However they've found every reason conceivable not to and are now talking about "just making you comfortable".
If there's amore chilling euphemism in use, I haven't heard it.
@TwisterFilm
"A place where *everyone* feels welcome"
I don't want everyone to feel welcome to volunteer with children. I want a strict system that assesses adult volunteers' suitability to work with children.
So, not midday yet and here's one UK police force telling women to avoid male violence by restricting their movements and another force implying that women's boundaries to avoid male violence are hateful.

why are you campaigning to undermine or reinterpret UK law? Is this a sort of misogynistic joke? Do you want to be completely unapproachable to women and girls?
