"Women say no"
is actually "women say yes"
based on support for trans people of the 200 most famous women (from a UK perspective).
Pink ... transgender friendly/accepting
Salmon ... trans friendly/accepting with caveats
Grey ... unsure
Pistachio ... hostile
Today,
@JK_Rowling
's mask slipped fully off. She has revealed to the world that she is transphobic. The star of the show, the cause of the mask slipping, the revealer of the horrible, nasty, inhumane sight behind Rowling's mask, is none other than the wonderful

Bolton married Karin (Danish) in 1985, 1 child.
Divorced
Married Lidia (Russian), 2002
Divorced 2007
Married Tatiana (Russian), 2 children
Divorced, 2018
He was having a fling with Jo Marney (from 2017)
Don't talk to us about what is 'conscientious', Henry Bolton.

@IanWright0
Not only Ian Wright, but all the co-presenters and crew should refuse to appear, and the football community, EPL managers, staff and players, should refuse to speak to the BBC until he is reinstated.

@ChrisGPackham
I don't always agree with Chris Packham, but on this, you are clearly wrong. Wild spaces like this are absolutely crucial. Football and cricket pitches are not.

@jk_rowling
No-one's saying you don't. I think we all know JK Rowling is using detransitioners as a rather weak argument to shield herself against accusations of transphobia. That's what's quite disturbing about it.
@NHPUKOfficial
He fought for our country. He spoke up for people with mental health difficulties. He held our outrageous mainstream press to account. He revealed the lack of compassion in our royal institutions. And he did all of that while struggling with the death of his mother.
Your turn...
๐งต 1. This is Luke Mumford.
Luke worked in a supermarket near where I used to live.
He helped me with my disability. He was inventive, finding new ways to assist which went above and beyond.
I wrote to the supermarket to tell them of the brilliance of this member of staff.
Done. Alex Bramham has been reported to police under the Malicious Communication Act 1988 for publishing grossly offensive mockery of a murdered transgender girl with intent to cause distress to her family, those that know her and the wider public.
Hey
@wesstreeting
. Are you happy about the new proposal to put gay men in a side room so that the other men on the ward don't feel uncomfortable? Would you support it? No. Then don't do it to transgender people.
And I would rather die than be put on a โwomenโsโ NHS ward, or be hidden in a side-room.
It would be demeaning, disrespectful of me & m rights. It would be ethically & morally unfair on the women in that ward. Have you forgotten your humanity?

Hey
@MetPoliceUK
. You have hundreds of cameras around Victoria. You can track where these men came from. You have cameras on public transport. You can track them en route to Victoria. Do your jobs and find them.
4. It became clear, after his death, just what a wonderful young man Luke was. He had an innate kindness, and would help anyone in need.
If you can, please try to be like Luke.
A smile, an offer to help doesn't go unnoticed. It can mean the world to someone in need.
Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull's illegal hate speech of 29th January at Hyde Park, London, in which she compared transgender people and autogynephiles to paedophiles in a public speaking event, has now been reported by a number of people to
@sussex_police
and
@metpoliceuk
@metcc
.
There is NOTHING transphobic in what
@Martina
has said. Not a thing. Physically, a transgender woman does have an advantage against other women in sport. Basic fact. It's not just about testosterone. It's about physical strength.

@LordPeterHendy
Lord Hendy and Network Rail should ignore your bigotry-led organisation and focus on what the majority of their customers and staff think. And I can assure you that what they think does not align with your prejudices.
@Ukraine
@NeilPhillipsFCA
There is no way Putin can win. Even if he took control of Ukraine, the people would not oblige him. He would need to keep a large armed force there permanently while sanctions cripple Russia. He has made a big error.
@piersmorgan
So now you're defending your friend Rebekah Brooks, who was up to her neck in the phone-hacking scandal. Quelle surprise. The public see you for what you are, Morgan.

When I had just left university, I worked in a bar, with an underground car park. Sometimes, there was a bedraggled fox there. After a few weeks he began to recognise me. Two months later, he was sitting in the passenger seat of my car keeping warm. Foxes are beautiful animals.
@LukePollard
@hknormington
The public are queueing like this outside supermarkets. Disabled people included. Why are MPs a special category? I don't think it is ideal when you have a better option, and it is undemocratic, but the system itself seems to be what plenty of other people are having to do.
@Westies_Rock
Phillimore had the gall to declare herself (in reply to my tweet yesterday) as not transphobic, and declared such an accusation as defamatory.
She's literally used the word 'delusion' here.
She's transphobic.
@IndiaWilloughby
The irony is that while she says 'women can't become men' and 'men can't become women', she's effectively turned into her own father, developing the same bullying traits that she so despised in him when she was growing up.
3. On his way to work, driving to one of his first new shifts, Luke crashed in his car and was killed.
It took me a long time to come to terms with this. It still hurts. Not because he was my best friend. He wasn't. But he felt like it because he was someone who helped, cared...
2. Within a month of my letter, Luke had been given a much-deserved promotion.
Luke was obviously pleased with this, moreso because it meant he could afford to buy his first car that he had been talking about...
@LBC
@AndrewCastle63
She is so right. There are plenty of things for women to be worried about other than a Nike advert. This isn't about women or their rights. This is about prejudice and hatred of a minority of women towards trans people.
@BethRigby
@AngelaRayner
You conflated people protesting (including one of them whose family had been killed in Gaza) to potential attackers merely based on the reasons another MP gave for stepping down. Not really acceptable.
@BBCBreakfast
People on PIP are disabled to the degree that they can rarely work at all
@elliereeves
. If you don't understand the systems, what hope can the public have in
@UKLabour
? It is notoriously tough to be granted PIP, even if you are disabled. Don't pretend otherwise.
@AllianceLGB
But the real question is whether or not gay men seeking other gay men on Grindr can exclude members of LGB Alliance...
Oh, wait, most members of LGB Alliance are not LGB, so that was never a problem.
@ChrisGPackham
@JustStop_Oil
No... he's in jail from climbing up a bridge, forcing the road to be closed, costing emergency services a lot of unnecessary expense and putting himself and others in danger.
A woman died because of his actions. He's no hero.

Fair Cop does not have, as it should if it were an official rights or NCVO organisation:

- insurance
- an accessible document listing a board of trustees

75%.
And can you explain why 98% of those who use puberty blockers/cross hormone therapy do not regret doing so, and why just 2% of those who do, regret it? Take that 2% and compare it to the 30% who attempt suicide without that treatment and you'll see why it is vital.
@jk_rowling
You don't get to define 'woman' just because you're a rich woman or an abused woman. You don't get to decide what women should and shouldn't say, either. And you don't get to redefine misogyny so that you can discount the huge number of women that disagree with you.
@hbkeenan
@metpoliceuk
There are nearly 1 million CCTV cameras in London. The density of them around the central transport hubs is immense. For every 1,000 people, there are 73 cameras. A person in London is captured on CCTV camera approximately 70 times every day. These people CAN be tracked.
@Beardandcamera
@itvnews
@NHSEngland
What makes you think that the evidence is not there? The evidence is utterly clear. Using puberty blockers prevents suicides by boosting mental health. Multiple reviews and studies have shown this.
@jk_rowling
@UKLabour
"Rosie Duffield, an ex-assistant teacher, single mother, survivor of domestic abuse, who broke lockdown rules for liaisons with a married man, and called her critics communists, and who then dove head first into the rabbit hole of transphobia."
JK Rowling is attacking this man because he helped advise India Willoughby to get a hate crime incident recorded against her. It's yet more evidence that she is a bully.
@LeftieStats
That's because they *are* bigots,
@wesstreeting
. In the same way that 'gay critical' women would be bigots. Most women are not 'gender-critical' because most women are not bigots.
@hollywills
And whatever you do, don't say 'we had to work'. There were people of all professions in that public queue, including people in far more vital roles than you have.
@Wimbledon
Russian athletes have been banned in many other sports. Wimbledon should feel no shame in following suit. It is the ATP Tour, WTA Tour and ITF that would rather wash their hands of making a stand against Russia, and in so doing fail to support Ukrainian players, that are wrong.
@GBNEWS
If Jesus returned today, you'd invite him into the GB News studios and you'd have a presenter and two guests mock him for his 'wokeness'.
Please don't pretend your values are those of Christians. They are the total opposite.
@thebadstats
As someone qualified in both of those subjects, the thought of either of those people implying they are experts in these fields is nauseating.
All of these results happened today in European domestic football:
Hammarby 8-0 Sundsvall
Liverpool 7-0 Man Utd
FC Copenhagen 7-0 OB
Metallist 0-7 Shakhtar
Olympiakos 6-0 Levadiakos
Montpellier 5-0 Angers
Schaffhausen 0-5 Thun
Antwerp 5-0 Mechelen
Zrinjski 5-0 Posusje
@DaniGaravelli1
She wasn't in fear. She was a troublemaker who refused to leave when asked to by the police. She was there waiting for this to happen so she can claim victimhood.
It took 10 minutes to uncover the teacher "sacked for using wrong pronouns" has a social media footprint which compares being Trans to "child sacrifice" &"cannabalism", accuses Mermaids & others of "grooming" & clearly states a desire to leave teaching. It is never just pronouns.
Sarah Jane Baker, who the transphobes were up in arms about when she spoke to a crowd about 'punch[ing] a TERF' has been found not guilty of encouraging violence.
@chinacomedystu
@JuliaHB1
Number 1, you are wrong, it is in breach of the Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 and Number 2, if Dominic Cummings jumped off a cliff, would you advocate that everyone else does the same thing?
@richardpbacon
No, because it's in a private garden. But it would be if it were in public with the intent to cause offence, and it possibly is by virtue of it being posted (published) online.
@billybragg
@DMMeeble
@grahnort
Rowling? Retract? You'll be lucky. Note how she used the phrase 'recent spate of', a phrase that's usually reserved for a flurry of unpleasant or bad things. She knows exactly what she's doing, but does it in subtle ways, hoping that most people won't cotton on.
@Bushra1Shaikh
I'd rather there were no people like you in British society. We should not tolerate your spreading of hatred against LBGTQ+ people. It is unacceptable and illegal. If you think typing on social media is fine, it's not. It's also hate speech, and prosecutable.
I believe that Helen Joyce may have suffered significantly (and secretly) from stigma resulting from the idea that she was not a complete woman because of her inability to produce children naturally. I believe that in order to reassert her femaleness, she elected to...
@loafjungle
@KonnerKent5
That JK Rowling has the right to her views because of her past traumas and that opposing those views is cancel culture, which is 'bollocks'. Not a word in support of trans people in the process.
@SkyNews
That is disgraceful. People may be unable to go and stay with their families, and therefore cannot visit them either, at Christmas, because of the ego of Lynch. We've just had two years of pandemic-hit Christmas.
@LBC
@AndrewCastle63
Credit to LBC for inviting a transgender person on to discuss it too. So often, they get ignored, even when they're the topic of conversation.
@Warpspeed_Moves

@susannareid100
She did. She listened to what he was saying and if it didn't answer her question, she interjected. An excellent interviewing technique. Refused to let him go off on a tangent. Refused to let him circumnavigate her questions.
@wesstreeting
@UKLabour
It ignores almost all of the studies, citing various reasons but primarily expectations from studies that are impossible to achieve because of the subject they are studying, and then cites weak evidence (although moderate evidence in terms of mental health benefits).
@CAupdates
"What if it was you?"
I post this because the pro-hunting lobby hate it. They hate it because it makes them search their souls and come close to the realisation of their cruelty.
@MontreseNicole
@ultabeauty
Presumably because transgender women were transgender girls and despite not being able to show it, they had the same self as you and any other woman did when you were girls.
@BBCBreakfast
There are people who use their PIP to top up their rent so that they can afford to live somewhere suitable for their disability. They do not have the option of using it for other things. Maybe
@elliereeves
can address that point.
@JasonReidUK
What's he planning to learn? That Tate is a vicious thug who assaults women? That KJK is a transphobe who is one letter away from being the KKK? That gay people are not dangerous to children? That red onions in your socks are not a miracle cure?
Weren't all these things obvious?
@amandajplatell
@carolvorders
You don't like it because she's intelligent and popular and she sees through people like you. As do most of us. *You*, Amanda, are the one devoid of moral backbone, not Carol Vorderman.
Fairly sure that Rachel Riley's abandonment of Man Utd as a supporter will not make them think again. Just more proof of how up herself she is that she thinks it would.
