Unisex loos are horrible. Took a group of students on a trip to a London gallery yesterday. Toilet stop caused huge discomfort & embarrassment; amongst my group were a strictly observant Jewish boy & girls, a Muslim girl & some very shy girls. Does nobody care about their needs?

@MartinBarrow They took her out of an exam for this. Midway through an exam, she was stripped naked, given an intimate search, and then sent back into her exam. It makes me absolutely ashamed that this was allowed to happen to a teenage girl in a London school.

I am not American and don't understand the system: am I right in thinking that a sorority is a place where young women live as well as socialise? Has a judge just decided that young female students are obliged to RESIDE with a man whose behaviour they've experienced as predatory?

Quiz for the parents: if a grown man regularly lingered outside your child's school, dressed in that school's uniform, would you be concerned? Expect the school to be concerned? Expect police to take it seriously? (If you answered 'no' to any of these, go back & read them again)

@charlotte2153 What's really so brilliant is that, before Lia decided to compete as a woman, that training only got Lia a 400th or so position. But now, with the same body & same amazing training, Lia is number one! Huge congratulations to Lia for this near miraculous, incredible acheatment!

@LHolt99 @willie_rennie @WaidAcademy @NicolaSturgeon @ScotGovFM What in the name of god is this? Who is filming and why? Why are there no reactions from kids? Where are the staff? I spent several years working in pupil referral units and I never saw anything like this in PRUs without immediate staff intervention. This is a mainstream school?!

Call me old fashioned, but I don't think that lesbian, gay or bi people having things purely for themselves is hateful.

@Fhamiltontimes That jumped out at me, among other horrors from the story. Wayne Couzens had a work nickname too: 'the rapist'. Clue for the police, because apparently they need it: it ISN'T NORMAL to give your colleagues jaunty monikers like 'the nonce', 'molester' and 'domestic violence Dave'.

@BevJacksonAuth @HartlandJoseph Just an opinion, but I find this odd behaviour. To be so enraged whilst engaging in civil discussion that you choose to cause yourself pain to alleviate it; then to photograph evidence of that to publish, inviting others to share your distress? Seems emotionally volatile to me.

@UN_Women Point is, I am not 'united in a common fight' with trans identifying men. I do not doubt that choosing to live as the opposite sex to your own has its difficulties; nor do I suggest there's anything wrong with so doing. But there is no commonality between that & being a woman.

@AlysGreens To me, this says, "Men are not women, except when they are women". That sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? How else would it be possible to interpret what you have said?

@helenachumphrey This young woman was attacked at around 8.30pm, in a busy place. She was a primary teacher, in her first teaching job after qualifying. It's absolutely horrific.

@detransguy Hi Jaden, thank you for sharing this. It is helpful for those of us concerned about the affirmation-only treatment model to understand from people like yourself what blockers & hormones means for young people in reality. I hope that you are currently feeling well and healthy.

@OwenJHurcum @CubeNightclub Cubicle, singular, you say?: it's fairly standard policy to remove people from clubs for sharing cubicles. If there was cubicle sharing going on, it's pretty obvious their chosen gender identity has nothing to do with their removal.

@HJoyceGender @MForstater So according to Crispin Blunt, men who think they are women being expected to use the correct facilities if they're "not willing to use them" is a serious problem, but the entire female population being forced to share facilities with men against their will is just fine. Got it.

@NationalNOW Why do you presume the right to tell women how to be the 'good' kind of feminists? If my feminism were pleasing men, it'd mean I was doing it wrong.

@JohnLewisRetail @wilder_harriet I feel comfortable in female only changing rooms. I am assuming as an inclusive business you will still cater for longstanding female customers like myself and my teen daughter. I would be grateful, therefore, if you could let me know if female only changing is available? Thanks.

@hef4caerphilly Your considering a woman asking the simple question 'what is a woman?' to be TRITE does, of course, answer the question, in its own way.

@KevsTribulation Sorry Kevin to ask you to repeat yourself, but I want to be clear in my understanding. The DBS is considering effectively barring you from teaching by preventing you from getting the DBS? And for your insistence on correctly sexing a student? Thanks, & thanks for fighting this.

@dsj_itv I absolutely agree: it is important that people begin to respect women when they talk about them - to recognise the need to be respectful in their word choices. Emily Bridges should have been asked by ITV to show respect and not incorrectly use the word 'female' in this context.
