I am one of those 6, now all ex-trustees. I had my accreditation as a breastfeeding counsellor taken from me for 'disparaging LLL' and talking to the press ^. I would be delighted to talk to @BBCWomansHour about the different ways supporting male lactation is a problem.

I am not 'sneering' Marjorie. I am furious that a sign talking about pregnancy does not mention the flipping word 'women'! I see no reason why the vast majority of women who may be pregnant have to be subsumed under the craziness of a few 'transmen' and/or transvestites (the…
Other nurses are available, other nurses who have been treated badly by the RCN are available, but I suspect this won’t be their year.

Ministers are still confident in the Fife board, even after a week of the most damning evidence. Absolutely astonishing. heraldscotland.com/news/25343552.…
When you say "sex work is work" you ARE grooming people into the sex industry. Normalizing the industry is a lie about the actual nature of commoditizing your sexuality for a cohort of the worst men on the planet. "Sex work is work" is a total slap in the face of survivors!
Excoriating from The Sunday Times on the behaviour of NHS Fife. It's astonishing that any of these people can hold their heads up & defend what they did to Sandie Peggie. archive.ph/3K1ve
We would beg news outlets not to be over-selective about their images from today’s Trans+ Pride March. Make sure you give a broad flavour. @Channel4News
When my mum was ill in hospital, she was delirious and thought the nurses were the Taliban.. it was around the time of the war, the nurses shrugged it off and we all laughed about it in that embarrassing way you do. She was elderly and very poorly, no member of staff would have…
Another note from the bundle. This transcribed by my friend Bryndis Blackadder Sandie Peggie response to disciplinary allegations in A Glancey’s letter 19th July 2024. Re: Dr Upton complaining that an elderly female patient called him "son" and a student student doctor had…
101 days since the Supreme Court clarified sex = biological sex and no man can be treated as a woman for any purposes. Single sex services including prisons must be single sex! Why are violent men being placed with vulnerable women @ShabanaMahmood ? #SingleSex101
The law is clear - so why are male prisoners still in women's prisons? @ShabanaMahmood ? #KeepPrisonsSingleSex #SingleSex101 #101Days
It is sickening that this man is allowed to persecute Ellie like this. He is clearly unfit to practice and possibly dangerous. There is a naive belief that doctors are somehow above reproach. Sadly, some are egotistical monsters who use their status to abuse others.
Over the past weeks my rapist’s father, who’s a GP, has subjected me to a campaign of harassment, abuse, and stalking. He’s called me a “slut”, an “escort”, a “hippo”, falsely claimed I had incestuous relationships with family members, and stated he has nude photos of me.
So proud to have Nomcebo’s voice in the latest issue of The Frontline - link follows.
I am a WOMAN and I talk about PERIODS openly Everyday I fight hard for WOMEN and GIRLS Who is with me?
“Men have a history of getting away with violating women’s boundaries” doesn’t mean it’s okay for men to violate women’s boundaries.
Trans women using female spaces isn’t a new thing. Sadly, it’s been politicised. Harassment is the issue here, not identity. We need safety and dignity for all. 🏳️⚧️❤️
Breaking news: a man who lies about being a woman lied about other things too.
The LGBTetc correspondent at the BBC must have slept in this morning An article not only using the word "women" but describing how women's bodies are actually quite different to men's Literal violence all the way through this piece bbc.com/news/articles/…
As someone who has an elderly mother, who for a quite a while was at home with visiting carers… I’d like to know what was done to follow up this report and check it. Because someone who behaved like this while working with vulnerable elderly women should be setting off alarms.

NO! Upton entirely orchestrated this disaster. It was wholly his decision to attempt to impose his will on his 'lessers'. But he miscalculated. He chose the wrong victim. Upton is not 'tragic' and he deserves no pity. He is a malevolent and sinister bully.
I’m not even sure I feel any sympathy. It’s more like pity that I feel. I think he cuts a rather tragic figure.
This is what girls taking testosterone - like certain celebrities’ daughters - can ‘look forward to’ in the next few years…
New study shows 95% of young women on testosterone developed pelvic floor dysfunction. Participants, youngest 18, average age 28, had bladder and bowel symptoms that medics would expect to see in a woman after the menopause. What did medics expect? telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/2…
I have written about the mistakes made by NHS Fife in the Sandie Peggie case (so far) and there will be lots I’ve missed. But their biggest mistake was to underestimate Sandie 💜🤍💚 #SandiePeggie denisefindlay.org/post/18-days-1…
