There is something *extremely* refreshing in this debate when a woman says- No. That’s a lie. And then refuses, absolutely, to accept *any* element of the sly, baseless inferences which these advocates have relied on for more than ten years.

God. Tracked my daughter’s stolen iPhone. Have an address in London. To the door number. And…still can’t get it recovered. I know it’s not that important but seriously. I had the police round for saying men can’t be lesbians.

There’s something deeply wrong to be driving with your 16yo, after taking her to buy a few bits in Boots, and chatting about boys and what are they like, to hear that she’s aware of this and yet barely pauses to pass comment. I don’t *want* this world for her. I don’t want it.

A lot of upset at Matt Walsh’s blunt tool approach to talking about a sex binary. But also a lot of upset at JKR’s compassionate approach to talking about a sex binary. And equally at evolutionary biologists’ neutral approach to the same. At some point, the penny has to drop.

I found it satisfying that Beth Rigby pulled apart the idea of either being for, or against “trans rights”. Specifically, YouGov showed that most women are in favour of the right to be trans, but not in favour of any intact male coming into confined, sex specific spaces.

I don’t think I’ll ever not be furious about this. Time and time again we are simply told - “you don’t matter”.
Nurses told to change in a tiny room off a corridor with no showers so a male called “Rose” - who liked to ask women “why aren’t you getting undressed yet?” - could use the female facilities.

Yes, she’s in a position of power and yes she is talking about an individual. It needs a powerful woman to push the debate to a point where it is acceptable for other women to *tell the truth* without huge personal loss. And that person has been part of the bullying of women.

It isn’t their space. It does indeed tell them identifying according to individual values is unfair because this is a *group* event. You’re not erased, excluded or targeted. You’re just pissed off. And people say women are hysterical - I’ve never seen such hand wringing.

Oh and nope. Women in polls do not “overwhelmingly” agree to men in their spaces. You’re quoting one column of a YouGov poll that asks a different question- should you be able to declare yourself T. Do better. You’re meant to be curious, data-driven, sceptical and rational.

This perfectly depicts the gaslighting we’re all living through. A highly subjective belief system, described in multiple, often circular ways, which demands total adherence yet can’t be proven, and relies instead on individual conviction is science. Opting out is… creationism.

This stand against bullying and endless gaslighting gives me a visceral thrill deep in my bones. Watching a woman say- NO. I’m not having it, against this much pressure, is everything.
Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India's obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment. 1/5.

@zoesqwilliams He believes women shouldn’t organise to discuss their rights under EA2010 or believe that there is anything of note about their sex, not gender class. He shuts them up. Split hairs all you like on how you describe that, but he has alienated, insulted and hurt many, many women.

When I was 17, in a class at school, I learnt about what snuff movies were. Some boys laughed, and they felt like aliens to me. In my early 20s, at a party, a man very casually told me he’d watched one. People laughed. I ran out, into the street. Now, with Pelicot, it’s the same.

On to music. The kids have to identify voices, “blind” - sopranos, tenors etc and say if they are male or female. The music teacher was upset at the bigotry of 2 sexes and apologised to the class, “it’s 2024 fgs!” .(The teen - “we’re talking about voice boxes, he needs to chill”).
