Devastating to see a group of peers in the House of Lords plotting to thwart the law. The Supreme Court has spelled out what the Equality Act means, and that women’s rights depend on recognising that everyone is either male or female, and no one can change sex.
Exclusive from @Geri_E_L_Scott A group of peers is at the centre of a House of Lords plot to derail guidance protecting women’s single-sex spaces, leaked documents have revealed. The group, which includes a former head of Stonewall and one of its founder members, is seeking to

A handful of activist Lords have no business undermining an independent regulator's guidance on the Supreme Court ruling. That judgment didn’t make new law, it clarified it. Overturning it would mean rewriting the 2010 Equality Act. Women’s single-sex spaces are protected and

How fantastic. This was a brilliant experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat @AyrshireHospice
We are delighted to announce that our recent Zipslide the Clyde day raised a phenomenal £16,443.05 in aid of the Hospice! 🥳 Thank to to all of our brave zip sliders as they faced their fears, leaped into the skies of Glasgow and stepped up to the challenge. 😮👏You're all

It is shocking that survivors of domestic abuse are being denied legal aid if they are unable to provide figures for their household income because their abusive partners have complete control of their finances. While the Minister acknowledged that this is an important issue,

We were delighted to welcome back long-standing supporter and volunteer Christine Milne to the Hospice for a look around our transformed facility. Christine was one of our first hospice nurses and appears in the photo of the original Ayrshire Hospice opening back in February

All women with this type of birth injury should be offered pelvic health physiotherapy. All of them.
"The number of mothers sustaining a third- or fourth-degree perineal tear while delivering their baby has risen from 25 in 1,000 in June 2020 to 29 in 1,000 in June this year – a 16% increase." https://t.co/SV9x7pPlh3

Evidence says #DoYourPelvicFloorExercises x3/day for 3 months gets 3/4 of women with stress incontinence dry (that’s the one where you leak a bit if you laugh, cough or sneeze). If it doesn’t work, hurts, or you’re not sure what you’re doing then come to clinic. #DryByChristmas.

“When asked how she had thrived in a man’s world, she laughed, ‘Women are like tea bags - they don’t know how strong they are until they’re in hot water’.” Still very true today.
In 1952, inside a New York City delivery room, a baby was born blue and silent. Doctors hesitated, unsure whether to keep trying. Then a calm voice broke through the panic. “Let’s score the baby,” said Dr. Virginia Apgar. That moment changed medicine forever. Apgar had once

C4 dispatches…. I’m a little lost for words, but I’ll try. As a paramedic, I’m shaken. The trust we build in emergency care between colleagues, patients, and the public feels violated. Covert filming inside the EOC without consent? Tracking down patients from what they’ve

This is incredibly disappointing from @JamesTCobbler who insists on peddling the false narrative that men claiming to be women are the most vulnerable prisoners in the UK prison estate. It is well established that female prisoners are most vulnerable, not trans-identifying men.
The gaslighting continues. Apparently E Wing isn’t part of the general women’s estate (*spoiler alert*- it is!) and the biological males don’t mix with the women without adequate supervision (they do!). @NoMinWPrisons

Women on all sides of any violent conflict are targeted for a multitude of reasons, and strategically so. Killing, kidnapping, raping, mutilating. To disrupt community cohesion anchored to the mother, to prevent more babies being born, to ensure babies being born are the

#OTD in 1915: Nurse Edith Cavell was executed by a German firing squad for aiding over 200 Allied soldiers to escape from German-occupied Belgium. My book 'Women in Intelligence' conclusively proves she was a spy.

While we welcome that men can have their own events, THIS particular event does not appear to be that. Females are allowed to participate as long as they haven’t reached the age of 12. We ask: What is about the age of 12 that makes a female’s involvement in a public event
