Really depressing the number of people who will say Stonehenge is 'just stones' or Sycamore Gap was 'just a tree'. We need places of magic and mystery that embody continuity and a sense of place. And we need art and beauty. It's who we are. Let us have nice things!

Worth adding that prize money is piffling in the women's game so this man took £2,300 from a woman. Katie Sheldon got £1,000 for runner-up. The woman who came third was deprived of winning anything. All the women lose because of one man.

It transpires that many trans-identified males in the news DO NOT have a GRC (Debbie Hayton, India Willoughby, Helen Belcher, Scarlet Blake). So what *was* the point of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and why do we still have it? Especially since same-sex marriage enacted (2014)

We are lying to children, seeming to give them the choice to be a boy or a girl, rather than giving them options to defeat narrow sexist stereotypes. We are also eroding safeguarding basics as single-sex spaces become 'all gender' or welcome males who 'identify' as female.

There is no law allowing self-identification of gender, yet this is what we seem to have arrived at, by the back door. The diplomacy around female pronouns and feminine forensmes and not 'deadnaming' has conditioned people to accept what is a HUGE change. Without consultation.

@xxclusionary I like how the doctor's response to the negative 'review' is to thank the reviewer for telling other transwomen not to go to him 😅

@Transgendertrd @stonewalluk @Prudential @Ofstednews They handpick who can attend a public conference? For shame. You've always published thoughtful well-researched material and presented views in a respectful way. This is heinous.
