My mother grew up in chaotic, life-limiting, rural poverty but my father and her library card changed her life. She died a good death last Saturday. My tribute to her in today’s @TheScotsman scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
Please follow and amplify @WDIAfghanistan - it’s nearly 4 years since the Taliban took control and started the systematic silencing of women and girls, stripping them of the most basic human rights. We must be their voice.
🚨We believe and see that opponents of women's rights have reported our page in an attempt to silence the voices of Afghan women. As a result, our posts are no longer easily visible. Please, we ask everyone to share and promote our page so the voice of Afghan women is not…

If the change is top down or bottom up doesn't matter to me!

We all know about running out of fecks, but is it possible for a woman to run out of “WTF?”s? I need extra allocation This is harmful misinformation - and grossly offensive about people who live with DSDs. This has to be brought up in Holyrood. Excellence matters.
NHS Fife says that intersex is a "gender identity". archive.ph/706yG
Emmanuel is Democrat royalty: Adviser to Bill Clinton. Chief of staff to Obama. Mayor of Chicago. US ambassador to Japan under Biden. Now considering a presidential run. This is significant👇🏼
So this feels fairly seismic. @RahmEmanuel says men can’t be women. Shouldn’t be in women’s prisons or sports. thehill.com/homenews/campa…
my eyes rolled completely out of my head and down the street.
Watch as Alan Cumming hits out at Donald Trump ahead of his visit to Scotland, calling out his attacks on the trans community in America 👇
Are you feeling in urgent need of a counterpoint to doctors who think they personally assign sex to babies? Period education in Eswatini, banner sewing in Scotland, wartime women forestry workers. Find some women grounded in reality on The Frontline.
The Frontline Issue 4 - out now. With @nomcebo_mkhali on tackling the stigma related to periods in Eswatini, @crit_gen on the power of banner-making in a world that's lost touch with reality, and @TheAttagirls on the LumberJills of WW2. Link below.

Shane on you @IrelandLive This horrific killing was committed by a man.
doctors need to know the sex of their patients for multiple clinical (safety) reasons. Sex is determined at conception and recognised often in utero and described at birth. It's not assigned like a random dicethrow. We know this.
On behalf of everyone with columns to write during the bleak, newsless, summer recess may I once again put on record our thanks to NHS Fife for all they continue to do.
Today I woman I had never met before gave me a gift of this beautiful scarf she had made for me to say thank you for The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht. I was speechless 💜

Medical undergraduates typically study the human reproductive system in years 1/2 of medical school, as part of anatomy, physiology, or histology. I presume Dr Kate Searle did a medical degree and not queer studies or post structural feminist theory so WTAF was she talking about…
Why are we living in a world that doctors say this sort of foolishness? Are we in a dystopian alternate universe??
Serious point here is that a senior consultant is willing to play the idiot and destroy her own reputation to protect a junior man. This should scare us all.
a doctor. in the name of the wee man.
Listening to an A&E consultant Kate Searle in the Peggie v NHS Fife claim she knows she's female because "she was assigned female at birth" and then say "she's not an expert in it". Absolutely excruciating symptom of how gender ideology rots medical & scientific knowledge.
This 💯
Good journalism costs money. Lots of journalists doing an excellent job covering the Peggie tribunal. If you can, please support by buying a paper, or taking out a subscription.
I’m at the Sandie Peggie tribunal today. Sandie did nothing wrong. She simply asserted her lawful right to a single-sex space. John Swinney and Neil Gray might have confidence in NHS Fife, but Scotland does not. Carol Potter and the board must go 👇🎥
Labour's Anas Sarwar should be outside the Sandie Peggie tribunal, offering unconditional support. Wrote for @spectator about the failure of "progressives" to get the politics of this case right: spectator.co.uk/article/why-wo…
