Several years ago I created a reading list for gender (critical) and feminism (not 3rd wave) and have been adding to it as new books are released. It now has 102 titles from diverse perspectives. Let me know what you would add. libib.com/u/conniemarkie

Four 'ordinary' women who've fought for women's and girls' rights to safety, privacy and dignity at immense personal cost, taking on well-funded lobby groups, ideologically captured public bodies and a political class that treats women with contempt. Actual, real life heroines 🔥

Every time a gender clinic closes it becomes clear that I was not only right, but that I was once very very very wrong.

FFS Friday: Sandie Peggie 2.0 After this past week, there is no one else in the world this week’s post could possibly be about. Link ⬇️ (no paywall; free and shareable).

In March 2025 we protested in London, at the Ministry of Justice at the cruel and unusual punishment of locking women in prison with male convicts, some of whom are in prison for horrific violent crimes. Check out our YouTube channel youtu.be/ihROqxGYGok?si… via @YouTube

The Sandie Peggie case has made it very clear that use of chosen pronouns involves taking a side. It’s an almost universal practice for news outlets but where it should be taken most seriously is by those outlets with a duty of impartiality. /

It is absolutely abhorrent for a male-bodied doctor to purposefully enter the female nurses changing room and expect them to undress in front of him.

A man who encroaches on women’s boundaries, performs hysterics when challenged on it, keeps logs about women who won’t undress in front of him and manufactures lies to try and trash their careers: do I believe he would also manipulate & falsify evidence? Oh god yes. Yes, I do.

In *round* numbers, how many “suspected graves” have been exhumed since the fund was created?

And I’m the grandfather who doesn’t want my granddaughters competing against boys in sport, or having boys watching them undress in the change room.

And another man here. A man who does not want men in his wife's changing room. A dad raising his sons to respect biological woman and the differences between a woman and a man. A dad teaching his kids it's not fair to claim a woman's medal as a man.

I’m the son, who doesn’t want my mum to face men in the women’s toilets I’m the husband saying no to letting men into my wife’s changing room. I’m the dad protecting his daughters rights to fairness. Who are you?

Mat puts it simply and he puts it well. Basic stuff but if more men would find their inner Mat, this would all swiftly be over. The men who seek to walk all over women's boundaries are our fellow men and it is our role as men to police them, not leave it all to the women.

I repost this because today saw a surreal exchange about whether Mr Upton should be referred to as a "he" or a "she". The reason that things kicked off is that genderism is founded upon the inapt use of language. Lose the language & genderism stands on a plinth, bare butt naked.

These are the ‘outsider’ girls who I see all the time falling in to the cult. They are the girls who struggle with their appearance, awkwardness, personal and familial troubles and are very different from the well-adjusted, attractive and popular girls — they find a way to belong…

🇦🇺 The Medical Services Advisory Committee in Australia will not support "gender affirming" surgeries being added to Medicare (Australia’s universal health insurance scheme) & considers evidence-based guidelines are needed for all "gender-affirming" treatments for adults⬇️

“I am expected to accept the ‘male lesbian’ in order to keep my job,” said one worker. “I have been pushed back into the closet… it makes me very unwell.” Excellent piece, & it’s encouraging to read it in @personneltoday personneltoday.com/hr/lgbtq-is-no…

"The Eunuch Archive was named in the WPATH draft standards of care 8 document... And that website has a link to a fiction archive where there are thousands of stories written about graphic castration, explicit sexual castration, even of children." Thank you to everyone who has…

Same badge and phrase used by convicted child rapist and founder of Pride in Surrey Stephen Ireland. How big do the red flags have to be?

If someone is wearing a “safe with me” badge to signal they will bring a man with them into women’s toilets - women should tell them loudly to fuck off and read the law. Anyone wearing this badge intends to bully women. The hyperbole is just that. swlondoner.co.uk/news/23072025-…

"Otto pulled the man’s head back and poured the boiling water on his face." Good to see this individual now correctly headlined as being a man although it's not possible to be "transitioning to female" and he's misgendered. @JournalismSEEN @HJoyceGender independent.ie/irish-news/cou…
