@Ben_Men Male people are en masse the greatest cause of the harm to women that rape crisis services address, and by including male people, services expose female users to risk, and to the retraumatising experience of managing their reaction to trauma around men.

One thing I am getting from post-7 October social media is that some people are catastrophically ignorant about the Holocaust and think it was a spontaneous outcrop of nazism contained to the death camps, rather than being continuous with popular European antisemitism and pogroms

I believe absolutely in free speech. Violence against women for male gratification is not speech: it's violence. Anyone defending online porn as free speech should be clear that what they're defending looks like this

Amazing how prissy some people get about "presumption of innocence" when a man had been accused of sexual assault. We're not in court. There's no greater legal process to defer to. If you didn't find the allegations plausible, you wouldn't be twisting on technicalities

@janeclarejones The other thing I think is, it takes a lot of neck for Butler to accuse anyone of not reading when she managed to fluff the GRA

This is an embarrassing piece for any journalist to publish, never mind (as noted in the copy) to publish in the Guardian, which has its own known issue with writers using letter writing campaigns to divert coverage

The New York Times’ trans coverage is under fire. The paper needs to listen | Arwa Mahdawi

The newspaper’s haughty response to two open letters forgets that there is no clear line between advocacy and journalism

Don't sanctify Sinéad O'Connor now she's dead. Remember her as the brilliant, difficult, messy artist she was - and remember how badly she was treated by her peers and the public

The toilets argument gets trivialized, but if you can't use public toilets, you can't use public space. It only takes one bad actor to shut the world down for thousands of women

I want to read a column from this perspective that addresses the Equality Act and the GRA and has a go at explaining how to reconcile gender identity with conflicting rights in law. Rather than delivering instructions to "cis women" (telling women to suck it up, so progressive)

Still feel haunted by Finn Mackay saying women-only spaces don't matter because most women are assaulted at home by a man they know. The acceptance of violence against women - from someone who revived Take Back the Night, who knows what public space means to women - is p chilling

I'll be watching this. The rise of the ADHD industrial complex - and the number of extremely normal behaviours that people are encouraged to attribute to ADHD - is pretty shocking, and of course hacks are profiting from it
