Earlier this month, the Women’s Rights Network, who obtained police data, published a report revealing that women and girls in unisex changing rooms are being targeted by sexual predators across England and Wales. 80 sexual assaults, 16 rapes and 65 incidents of voyeurism took

80 sexual assaults, 16 rapes and 65 incidents of voyeurism took place in leisure centres in 2023 – many of them in mixed-gender changing areas.
Because there is no evidence to suggest that trans women using women’s spaces increases abuse against cís women. Ban trans women and nothing changes. The problem is and always has been abusive cís men, who you conveniently shield in your transphobic campaign.

No one outside of Wales seems to have picked up on the ridiculous situation we currently have here regarding waiting lists. The Welsh Government are now three weeks late in publishing the latest waiting list data. This is because Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board has problems with

Hello British media I think you now see your job as causing as much division as possible! Stop lying in your headlines, trans identifying individuals are not & have never been banned from sport. They just can’t compete in a category (for women) they do not qualify for. The same

Brilliant interview. Thank you @oliverbrown_tel & @laura_woodsy - two superb journalists.🙏 The vicious misogyny of those supporting males in women’s sports laid bare. “I blame brands for dropping people who have the courage to come out and say what they believe.” 🎯
Some interviews stay with you. This is one of them. With searing honesty, Laura Woods speaks for the first time about her four-year stalker ordeal, her miscarriage, and the monstrous abuse she has received simply for asserting women’s right to fair sport

A lot of newspapers are showing photos of Dr Upton and Nurse Peggie side by side. It is worth remembering that Upton is 6ft tall and Peggie is 5 ft 6. This is what that looks like to scale.

We have long said that no major, actively competing, celebrity female athlete has spoken up about males in women’s sports. Well, the women’s world #1 just did. Thank you, @SabalenkaA

“New police data show at least 16 rapes, 80 sexual assaults and 65 acts of voyeurism were committed in sports centres in 2023, equating to three offences a week. Many of the offences were in mixed-sex changing areas recommended by @Sport_England Shocking statistics from
The evidence is clear: when we remove single-sex spaces, women and girls pay the price. Mixed changing rooms are a magnet for predators. @Sport_England should act now to ensure Governing Bodies protect women and girls spaces. https://t.co/szV1XQDXii

This is vital work. This is how our democracy has been eroded and our rights denied: hoping that no one would notice. We are all looking now.

From January... Kemp is the Judge in Sandie Peggie v NHS Fife and Beth Upton.
Judge Kemp? He did not consider my account of my emotional breakdown (following recent widowhood and my sacking) to be fully genuine, and was inclined to disbelieve the psychiatrist who diagnosed me. Good luck to the nurse.

Wear 'feminine' clothes, have 'feminine' make-up, have long hair, present in a 'feminine' style and have a 'female' tone of voice. The social conservatism is off the scale.

It has been made abundantly clear to women, over and over, that the trans movement is entirely predicated on prioritising men’s feelings over women’s physical safety

Good god. A long but illuminating read. I want the politicians who let this stuff happen on their watch held to account.

Parkrun now owns the 5k app. Records are published on the app. To my knowledge, currently 17 female records (1 outright, 16 age category) are held by MALES. This is erasure of female achievements and appalling sex discrimination. 🤬👎
The unfair @parkrun stats are back The official @parkrunUK ‘5k’ app shows that males can choose to be in the female category and are once again celebrated as the female course record holders, fastest female athlete or female age category record holders Unfair and unlawful 1/
