@sonicdrivein @edentorres121 Your manager was polite, professional and remained ready to help in the face of provocation intended to get him to say something ‘wrong’. You could use this as training for all your employees, who may face belligerent entitled customers of all sorts, at any time.

@marksandspencer @b_biffa Please please please stop saying ‘gender’. You are subject to the Equality Act 2010. you have made the choice to have mixed-sex changing rooms without, it seems, thinking about the effects on several groups of your customers with protected characteristics. You messed up, own it.

@TillyLovesBooks Was it a ‘single mistake’? You expressed a wish to deny one person freedom of speech and a legal livelihood, to deny other people freedom to choose what to read, and to deprive your employer of property. I hope you find a job soon but also that you will read up on human rights.

@zackbeauchamp In the UK, women have rights. Real rights, not ‘as if they were men’ rights. So maternity leave, abortion. I don’t know what went wrong in Canada.

@DrSarahLiu This whole thread is jaw-droppingly unimpressive. You don’t understand biology (mammalian sex is not a ‘social construct’, it’s how humans evolved); child development; or how to find an MoJ FOI response, for starters. The last, at least, is in your purported field. Wow,.

@AshReganALBA He harassed and discriminated against a humane, experienced woman. He did even worse. He divided raped women into good and bad (‘bigots’) which is the purest misogyny. He denied ‘bad’ raped women support and forbade his organisation signpost to another service.

@JeanHatchet This is so lovely. I once, long ago, lifted 1.5x my weight at the time. No-one around but a woman I had never met before, nor would again (was on holiday). I am not ashamed to say I jumped up and down, pointed at the bar and said ‘personal best!’ And she said ‘well done!’.
