Reading David Walliams’ book “The Boy in the Dress” made me realise that, against the odds, I still have it in me to be naive on matters of gender identity. I imagined the book (aimed at 8-12-year-olds) to be a clumsy celebration of so-called gender non-conformity. I imagined a

To me, artist Allen Seaby is best known as the illustrator of the first Ladybird bird books. But I also love his Japanese influenced woodcuts. ‘Snow and Hare’ (c.1923)

I went to see this out of, ahem, curiosity, and I can report it really was as tediously terrible as this clip implies 😆
It’s been three years now since @The_Globe tried to delete every trace of “I, Joan” from the internet.. so here it is again…hilariously awful Still makes me laugh 😂

I am reposting out of anger! Never in my wildest dream, I thought such betrayal of girls from academia. To compare mutilation like FGM with cosmetic surgery is a not just a bad call; it is indication that cultural misogyny has infiltrated the academic elite Girls are now

The physical and mental scars of female genital mutilation last a lifetime, say experts, after a medical journal accused the West of ‘stigmatising’ migrants

Six years ago today, J.K. Rowling tweeted this. She had everything to lose, yet she chose to defend women’s rights because she knew it was a worthy cause. She was branded a “bigot” long before that label was worn as a badge of honor. She's got bigger balls than most men.
Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

Thank you to all these brave women, including @leng_cath, this is a result 😃👍
Have now had time properly to absorb the new sex and gender guidance at the BBC. I want to pay tribute to the women, some men, but mainly women, who worked so hard, for so long, to reach this point. They put their careers on the line to do it. /

Women know why mothers don't let their little boys into men's toilets on their own. Women have negotiated actual nuances for decades.
@Lachlan_Edi @WingsScotland @AtticumFloreat I’ve been using ladies loos all my life and I have never seen anyone ever object to a little boy who is obviously too young to go to the loo on his own in there with his mum. There is a social web women collectively weave around children. We’re breaking a butterfly on a wheel.

The nonsensical idea of a mystical midwife-fairy who designates a sex to every baby is finally facing a linguistic death (sex is observed in utero)
‘The BBC’s response also disclosed that staff have been banned from using the phrase “assigned at birth” when referring to someone’s sex, following warnings that its coverage of transgender issues had been captured by gender ideologists within the corporation’ @Telegraph /

@Keir_Starmer I want my daughter who has a profound learning disability to be guaranteed same-sex care for the sake of her dignity, privacy and safety. You have no idea the worry and pain you cause mothers like me when you say men are women.

Sandie Peggie: "This needs to end with me." A poignant image. A woman who'd dreamed as a girl of being a nurse & went on to give 30 yrs unblemished service to nursing, bullied & gaslit for not complying with a man's lies. To become a woman you need to have been born a girl.
Fantastic exclusive for the @dailymail 'This needs to end with me' https://t.co/npTfq7kLro

Bridget Phillipson is flat-out lying to the court. The EHRC’s interim draft EXPRESSLY said little kids should still be allowed.

'Ms Phillipson says...banning transgender women – biological males – from women’s lavatories would also mean women could not take their “infant sons” into changing rooms at swimming pools.' Equating male babies with men? Disgraceful if true @bphillipsonMP. https://t.co/xEZ0cPYnqa

If we are at the point where a government minister can't get her head round the complete lack of analogy between a mother taking her *young* son *with her* into the Ladies, and an adult man - any adult man - going in, no wonder the world seems terribly complicated to her.

This government tells us in one breath that it wants to stamp out misogyny, and in the next that it will be fighting in the Supreme Court to remove women’s and girls’ rights to single-sex spaces.

Just one @UKLabour MP, @Jonathan_Hinder is prepared to oppose state sanctioned child abuse. What an absolute disgrace. Child protection shouldn’t be a party political issue - but apparently Labour have made it their political position to endorse unethical medical experiments on
@LabWomenDec @Lostlain1 It's just a shame that only one Labour MP has been courageous enough to sign my cross-party letter - where are all my 'gender critical' colleagues now, and why are they choosing to be completely silent about this?

I knew with every fibre of my body that I was on the right side of history at the puberty blocker protest. Take your pick @WesStreeting: “GAY TEENS AREN’T SICK” Or “ARM TRANS KIDS” #StopTheTrial #StopthePBTrial
