Lockdown Landscaping:
Over the last week, Iโve finally been able to clear my overgrown garden. Itโs been a while in the planning stage, but Iโve opted for a lower maintenance tapestry lawn (good for biodiversity).
Iโve no โbeforeโ photos (forgot) but found something interesting..

My disabled sister was sexually assaulted by a male HCA. Absolutely no way does she want to receive intimate care from a man, regardless of whether he says he's a man or a woman.
@FKASerioJosh
Thanks Josh. I don't know how anyone can watch and laugh as a man pretends to drop a baby doll from his pretend pregnant belly and seriously believe that is satirising masculinity rather than mocking female.
Just had the local Labour candidate at my doorstep, canvassing.
I didn't give him a chance to talk about anything else other than women's rights. Told him: 1)EA2010 not fit for purpose as no obligation to provide female-only services which is why NHS doesn't. 2) GRA2004 needs to
Prof Robert Winston hoping his experience as biologist holds weight.
Says biological sex is immutable, that people have been confused about sex, that people should be accepted as they are, but biology is important and should be discussed.
THANK YOU PROF WINSTON!
@TheLancet
You haven't addressed why you chose to dehumanise & stigmatise women, when discussing an issue that exclusively affects women, for the sake of inclusion, that you do not do with men and issues affecting them.
This is not an explanation but cowardice digging itself a deeper hole.
Reminder that Tatchell advocates for children as young as 9 being sexually mature based on the testimony of one man.
But 80 women? Not a reliable evidence base.
BBC article claiming cis lesbians โpressured into sex by trans womenโ found to be misleading. The story gave the impression the issue was a โwidespread, or even a majority, experience among lesbiansโ. The claim was based on responses by a mere 80 women!

I think it's fair to say that as a radiographer, you were only asking female patients to let you know if they could be pregnant before their xrays. So, stop pretending retirement has confused you.
Indeed. Malala Yousafsai being shot in the head by the Taliban can never compare to the unique vulnerability of a male being described by a pronoun he doesnโt like.

Reporting this tweet to the Charity Commission. You have no expert knowledge of the sector, you are encouraging discrimination against a group of people, your tweet is reckless and does not foster good relations between protected groups as per public sector equality duty.
Many Muslim women choose to wear the hijab, reflecting their personal religious beliefs.
Hijab-wearing women often face discrimination and heightened Islamophobia for their visible Muslim identity.

There was a perfect opportunity for teacher to reply:
"It's the girls and vagina-havers line, but since we don't like reducing people to their body parts, we call it the girls' line."
U turn isn't sufficient.
Ofc he gave Lab's current position. I said it didn't go far enough to protect my disabled mum and sister, that I will only vote for a party that acknowledges and protects women's rights as female people and please feed this back to party HQ.

So Sharron can't have an opinion on women's oppression because she's not black, but you can have an opinion being neither a woman nor a black man?

Men have trained for years as priests, doctors, teachers, curated positions of social respectability as Scout leaders, coaches, police officers, but changing their pronouns is a step *too* far for them?

A man who thinks he's a woman is asked to leave a single sex facility for women.
The only discussion is why men's dismissal of women's boundaries is acceptable, and how institutions are complicit in this.

My disabled sister requests that her intimate care is provided by female staff.
Is she the white feminist for asking or are you the white feminist for ignoring?

Please consider your reputational damage from pressuring a charity to abandon equal service provision to relevant protected characteristics where i) you have no expert knowledge of the sector and ii) your input discriminates against protected groups.

You should apologise for your organisationโs tweet -to Sasha- for your treatment of her.
She is entitled to an opinion, especially one that is taught in educational establishments across the world.

Remember when a sex offender indecently exposed himself to women and a young girl and you thought teenaged girls should stop staring at men who expose themselves? Was that your defensive rage?

Your manager was patient and boundaried. The employee who spoke with Eden initially had no way of knowing their gender identity as we cannot assume from a person's presentation. They addressed Eden by the name on the card rather than presume Eden had stolen it.

What do you think is more absurd: a girl who identifies as a cat (whether she's real or not) or a teacher who insists that cat girl's identity be respected else the two students will be reported and should find another school to go to?

Itโs a brilliant idea! We could have a bathroom for men, a gender neutral bathroom, and a third option for biological women! Why has no-one thought of the gender neutral option before?

It's because she won on direct discrimination, Tom.
She got the gold, no need to commiserate her on missing out on silver and bronze.
So you wouldnโt think it bigoted if someone went around talking about how they wouldnโt sleep with a woman of colour because they find them disgusting and not real women?

Of course we reject it, it's offensive, false, and used to demonise women.

Is Lisa going to tell Christopher Worton's teenaged victim that they were assaulted by a woman? And expect them to say "a woman sexually assaulted me"? Even when giving evidence in court? Isn't it perjury to tell the court something you don't believe to be true?

I'd raise it as a trust in service issue.
It undermines confidence in service delivery as either patient records are not fit for purpose or the philosophy is having the effect of frustrating and alienating patients.
