@IndyVoices @theothercoogan Ryan @theothercoogan you are sorely mistaken. The service doesn't exclude trans identified people. If a female identified as non-binary, genderqueer or any other identity she would still be welcome. But, quite understandably, it is a female only service not a mixed sex one.

@ipaperviews @notCursedE If you want solidarity the very first thing you can do it stop calling us "cisgender". Lots of gay people don't ascribe to gender identity theory and consider it a misogynistic and homophobic ideology.

@LeighFolkArts If you are vetting all your bands for ideological purity then that is the opposite of an inclusive and diverse event @LeighFolkArts As a gay men it's offensive you think I would be unable to enjoy folk unless performed by someone of sufficient purity. @Essex_Echo @Essex

Whenever a teacher or academic speaks out in support of material reality this trite "I fear for your students" line gets used. The silencing effect in action. Complete solidarity @runthinkwrite your students are lucky to have you.

If you teach ethics at the open university @runthinkwrite and conduct yourself like this on twitter with debate, I fear for your students. It isn’t intellectually disturbing nor it is about engineering female or homeostasis- that’s just gobbledegook.

@Nancy_M_K It's not a human right for males to gain access to female sports, changing rooms, prisons, domestic violence centres etc.

To any more men thinking about wading blindly into this issue, avoid looking foolish by reading this excellent thread by @FondOfBeetles first.

@tomhfh Tom. Promise me you will never teach statistics. The graph you have posted clearly shows two overlapping normal distributions. Each normal distribution is associated with either the female sex or the male sex.

@ThomasWillett9 Sports are segregated by sex not by abstract identities. Males are free to identify however they like, the open category is fully inclusive of males with all identities.

What's happening in Uganda is motivated by homophobia, not being "anti-gender". To suggest the blame lies with gender critical feminists and their allies, many of them gays and lesbians, is a shameful smear @Nancy_M_K

The anti gender movement has been funnelling cash and strategy into countries around the world for decades. This is "winning" for them. This is the world we enable with our complacency. Solidarity to our LGBTQ family in Uganda.
