Why is criminology absent from the discussion on gender identity? What is the evidence about transgender prisoners? Why don't criminologists stand in defense of women? What Do We Stand For?, by @JoPhoenix1

Oh @billybragg you are really rather silly and tied yourself into a bit of a knot. Open carry is not a belief. Brandishing a gun is nothing like expression of a protected belief. Silly Billy.

This is a subtweet - and a bit lengthy. Thank goodness I pay for a subscription (and yes, that's a passive aggressive jibe at the passive aggressive criticism of me). For the ill informed: There was once a sociologist ( I suppose we would call him a criminologist these days)…

#NotaPlaceofSafety The women of @WomensRightsNet made FOI requests of all police forces and the data showed that even decades after Jimmy Savile, hospitals remain places where women and children experience sexual violence. This is a feminist issue.

1 I’m enraged by @Keir_Starmer . Today, Guardian covered a story about the prison officers receiving counselling after failing to answer the calls for help from an 18 yo remand girl who gave birth and then cradled her dead child for 12 hours. She didn’t get counselling.

I don’t even know where to start with this. Both of the *children* who committed this awful act are not simply pawns / dupes of a Tory culture war. They are children with some very serious and pathological issues. To simplify it to make cheap political points is disgusting.

Heartbreaking. Just Heartbreaking. Listening to this Father's love for his trans Daughter Brianna is powerful. This cruel government has created so much hate towards the trans community they should be ashamed.

@sally_hines Sally, they found I was constructively dismissed and unfairly dismissed. Do you understand the law in this area? My resignation was forced by OU breaching its contract to me. That is what constructively dismissed means.

"Gender Critical" = transphobic. That isn't remotely controversial. GC people want to remove trans people's human rights and don't have rational reasons to do so

Rayner saying women's fears re loss of right to single sex space is not real. What you say below is flat wrong @AngelaRayner . The fear is based on realities of male violence & nothing to do w/ trans ppl. Your position is not held up by 5 decades of evidence.
