@LeighKirkham @helenstaniland @KatherineJPoole Every woman I know knows a woman who’s been raped, often by people they knew. Not one man I know knows a rapist. If men don’t know which of their penis owner friends are rapists, how the hell should women and teenage girls spot them among strangers?

@stonewalluk You know what enforces binary expectations of gender? Peddling the idea that if you like pink, dolls & dancing you’re a girl & if you like blue, cars & footie you’re a boy. Let kids be kids. Gender non-conforming behaviour - especially in toddlers - is nothing to do with LGBTQA+.

Every woman is a sex realist. When you’re alone, say at a bus stop at night, or in a train carriage, & someone comes in, you know the difference between men & women & how irrelevant it is how they present or internally identify.

Anyone of either sex & any gendered expression can run & time themselves. What @jonathanliew doesn’t understand is that if times are published & categorised for comparison, those categories must be fair. Fairness isn’t a right wing culture war; it used to be a left wing priority.

Proper sex education for boys would teach them that if they watch p0rn they’re encouraging trafficking and rape, that the women in it are being forced to pretend to enjoy it, and that those who use it are blunting their own ability to form a loving, fulfilling relationship. 1/3

@Finn_Mackay Legal sex is a construct. Of course it can be changed, society created it. Biological sex is not a construct. Legal sex and biological sex differ. A legal sex change is the example par excellence of a legal fiction.

Some of you liked the meringue mushrooms yesterday so here’s the finished cake. This one is a carrot cake but I’ll be doing a chocolate and cherry cake in a similar style.

@BlakeBlakebabee One of the things I find oddest, is that those who claim to be progressive (and who depend on a socially liberal, tolerant society for their survival as “queers”) back quite literally the most oppressive, regressive ideology in the world: fundamentalist Islam.

I must say, claiming you’re oppressed as a straight, white, rich bloke takes some balls.

Brighton Pavilion Labour Party members, let's show the world the strength in diversity. Electing a trans MP would be a historic step for equal representation. Join my campaign and vote for me in this selection so we can make history on Sunday.

Please, before calling those who back down spineless, read this. Martina deleted & said she’d educate herself. JKR blamed a slip of the finger & went quiet for a year. Richard Dawkins backed down in 2021. No one owes you their advocacy, & calling them weak won’t get it.

@CraigMurrayOrg So because there are poorer women in the world, no women should be allowed to meet for drinks? Are there any other rules you are wanting to impose on how women spend their earnings? Can we impose rules on you?

@janeclarejones It’s not really Gervais they’re seething about. It’s that the audience found it hilarious. Given permission to laugh at it, it is laughable.

@HasAhmed_ @Jas_Athwal @RedbridgeLive Who booked them? What #safeguarding policy was followed? What policies are there to protect a) children b) vulnerable adults c) the reputation of the library & council? Who were the performers, how can we warn others not to book them? The sexualisation of children is concerning.

You know those stories where someone is rude to a woman on the way to an interview and then sees them the other side of the desk? That, only in full view of everyone. #SNPmeltdown
