Books are my bag I love talking about them, love promoting them, love the community. I also think other things are important. Recently I've found my voice on them. Some may disagree & find it upsetting. But I am still me. The me you know. I don't hate anyone.
I struggled to see the relevance of today's evidence that Peggie "is not a very nice person". Is it intended to bolster Upton's account that Sandy had "confronted" Theo & made him cry? Very unseemly & felt like watching a chimp chucking ordure at a wall & hoping some would stick.
Can I just confirm, have we decided that if someone tells a joke we don't like, or we don't like their political opinions, they don't deserve legal protections? I'm not, entirely, sure we want to go down this route. And while I'm here, I'm not convinced if I was "friends" with…
To save time: If any more trans activists ask what I think about racist jokes, here’s my answer: I find them as distasteful as when India Willoughby suggested on live TV that we put barbed wire in the Channel to stop migrants. Stick that up your purity spiral.
Poor Maggie Currer will be cast out of the TRA club 😢 Saying a neo-vagina isn’t a vagina is TRA heresy.😱😱😱😱 Saying only two sexes 😱😱😱 Saying you can’t change sex 😱😱😱 #sandiepeggie
SO ANGRY on behalf of Sandie and her family having to sit through a blatant smear campaign & NHS Fife basically saying: nasty people don't get rights like nice people do. IDIOTS. If that were the case none of them would have any rights at all. #SandiePeggie
Guys, I know, not much bookish stuff right now its all about the Tribunal. I do happen to think this is an important moment that's why. But I'm reading too and when the pause in proceedings happens I'll do some more book stuff ❤️📚 Night TwitterX friends ❤️
OceanGate: A Rush to Break the Rules (Part 3) is now live on YouTube. Was OceanGate working for the future of exploration? Or did Stockton want to succeed in his own mission, by any means necessary? youtu.be/5sO0MFR_Uhg?si…
that's exactly the point i'm making - she is not unusual in making inappropriate jokes about her work. many of us do & many of us would feel so betrayed if these were 1. shared, and 2. used as a metric of our entire professional worth
As the “married gay MP” mentioned in today’s testimony, I have never witnessed anything remotely homophobic from the Peggie family, quite the contrary. Warm genuine people, concerned about injustice and people I was honoured to provide all the help I could.
JR Why so unhappy? LN Possibly she's a bit homophobic. Asking how u shld cope w it. I feel u dont have to cope. Possibly she [missed] and hid her true feelings JR What might her true feelings be? Shes homophobic but obviously loves her daughter
Fife is showing us how it works. Single-sex spaces are conditional: "nasty" women (those with the wrong views) don't deserve them; "nice" women (defined by being trans-inclusive) don't want them. And just like that, nobody gets them. Good, eh?
We want homophobia to be taken seriously. We are appalled to see accusations of homophobia weaponised, without any evidence, against a nurse who simply asserted her right to a single-sex changing room at work. We offer our unqualified support to Sandie and Nicole.
As @nicoleepeggiee’s girlfriend, I can confirm Sandie and her family have been welcoming, supportive and accepting of our 4 year relationship
It’s disgusting (I’m using that word a lot about this) that NHS Fife are using Sandie Peggie’s lesbian daughter Nicole as ammunition in this tribunal. Nicole has already come to her mother’s defence. Now Nicole’s girlfriend does the same…

The Nurse isn't Trans. Have they forgotten some punctuation? ANYWAY typical BBC Bollocks. That's what I'm calling them from now on. The British Bollocks Corporation.
We all knew what the BBC’s top line would be. None of the cross is published. It’s all exactly as you would expect. /
Ooh I've got a book coming tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. It has been recommended to me multiple times by multiple reviewer friends of mine so I'm expecting something AMAZING. And also, if you think I don't listen to you, you are wrong. 😂💁♀️❤️📚
Most telling line from the mud-slinging session are those of the judge: "We have no questions". Given the charged nature of what was under discussion (racism & "multiphobia"), one would usually expect interest to be piqued, but no. Judges differ but often means "not interested".
this. I've heard her call a TW a weirdo and lookat disgust a W in burkhas and I dont think its acceptable J We have no Qs JR U were asked about being the only one who disagreed w her stance. U replied re yr concern re likely behav to the dr
None of this character-assassination is about Peggie's competence as a nurse, nor whether she's ever breached patient safety. It's to destroy her & intimidate others. It works in the arts as we've zero way to stop it, but I have to hope it won't work here. It's despicable.
They are no longer defending NHSFife. This is to make her unemployable.
Right there with you.
Really not impressed with NHS Fife's "are you nice enough from the point of view of the average Guardian reader to have full employment rights re single sex changing and the handling of workplace complaints?" strategy.
Every lie they utter could be the truth with regard to Sandie Peggie's character (it blatantly isn't because it's painted a picture of a caricature not a character) but SHE WOULD STILL BE ENTITLED TO A SINGLE SEX SPACE to change. God this is EXHAUSTING.
The chilling effect Dare to complain about a man in your changing room, be prepared for smears and character assassination. Everything you have said in private is fair game Your family is fair game The judge should never have allowed this It has nothing to do with the case
