I’m often sneeringly accused by all sides of being ‘obsessed’ with the rise of trans. And it's true that for the past few years I’ve not been commissioned to write on much besides. Consequently, I’m now one of a handful of journalists to become expert in the issue. 1/3
For those innocents who say “But there are real transwomen who’ve surgery-they’d never do that just to get off on it. Can’t we welcome them in women’s spaces?” I present a man who amputated his own legs for his fetish… dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
So yesterday I had a minor op with a long wait before being admitted for surgery (all good). In the waiting area with a woman who asked what I was reading - I was obvs glued to @tribunaltweets and tried to explain what the hearing was about. She looked shocked and then she told…
New episode out tomorrow! In episode three of our #MenForEquality series, host Michelle Abel @MichelleAbel7 interviews Marcel Van der Watt (Ph.D.) @Marcel_HT, President of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation @NCOSE in Washington, DC. Together, they explore the deep…
I mentioned to @robjessel16 that I don't know what to wear to my work party tonight. His reply: "Oh don't worry about that. You should be worried about not getting really drunk and making a tit out yourself like last time. Remember when you vomited on your way home?" Thanks Rob!
Those interested in teen mental health (and who decide on new girl guide badges). Perhaps looking inwards is a mistake. "Unexpectedly, we found that YAM (Youth Aware of Mental Health) led to increased emotional difficulties at the long term follow up." assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/680f52ef…
Call me old fashioned, but I think the bare minimum we should expect from our medical professionals is that they know the differences between male and female human beings.
Peter Wilkins case exposes another public body (this one part of @DefenceHQ) that lost sight of the Equality Act and of civil service principles of impartiality and objectivity. One colleague accused him of making a "threatening" FOI request when he tried to draw attention to…

Jane Russell KC calls Isla Bumba "Isla Bryson" 🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱
Among the help Israel has given the Druze after the horrendous massacre last week, was a shipment of morning after pills as so many women were raped.
If anyone would like their own little black dot of adorableness these two are rescues searching for a home….
The @nhsfife website still has a pledge form that was created for workers to obtain "Pride" badges featuring the trans colours. It states wearers may have to "report incidents of discrimination". #SandiePeggie web.archive.org/web/2025072106…
I can't get anything done with this little dot of adorableness staring at me.

Suffice it to say, they're not sure about this whole rain thing.

Male Spanish politician @CarlaAntonelli proudly boasts about entering the women’s toilets twice at @Gatwick_Airport and admits to breaking the law… His instagram post says “Fuck @jk_rowling” I suggest he respects the laws of the UK @sussex_police…
Really an outstanding article by @jo_bartosch ⭐️ "Meanwhile, Dr Upton, who during the hearing in February mystifyingly described himself as biologically female in court, is a bully with the swagger of a tomcat. He thought he was untouchable, presenting himself as part of an…
MUST READ: The Sandie Peggie Tribunal , A Mirror to the Madness 🔥 Especially for those who stayed silent as women’s rights were dismantled piece by piece. @jo_bartosch doesn’t pull punches, and thank God she doesn’t. Her article tears the mask off the ideological capture…
