It is a fallacy that women's rights and trans demands can co exist without damaging women's rights. Women understand this now and are fighting back. At least Sunak seems to get it - Sturgeon refuses to listen to genuine concerns of women.

Unison does not think NHS women's single sex ward accomodation should be single sex Unison does not think female NHS staff should have single sex changing rooms or toilets Unison is a risk to women and girls

This is no mistake but a calculated act of soft terror. As a former Unison Branch Secretary, Andrea Egan's focus on this issue is far more sinister than you fully appreciate. What the far left is doing is policing its members on extreme far-left ideological lines rather than defending their members' pay and conditions. In effect, Unison reps are becoming commissars for the Labour Party, enforcing its Critical Social Theory ideology. Unison is effectively turbo-charging Wokism in the workplace and driving employers' HR to punish any employee who does not follow the Party Line. Her stance sends a direct message to her membership that, under her leadership, she and Unison stand for this ideology, actively police thinking in the workplace, and will push employers to discipline and remove Unison members who disagree. At the same time, Unison is attacking equality before the law and in pay and conditions by accepting Critical Social Theory and thus enabling discrimination against perceived privileged groups such as white men or Christians. These groups become especially vulnerable when bad actors use their oppressed status as leverage that prevents them from being held accountable for bad behaviour in the workplace. This is accelerating the open discrimination we are witnessing in the workplace, whereby DEI criteria enable promotion and the unfair treatment of staff and open bullying of others.

Behind every single main stream media sob story about a boy being allowed to race girls because it makes him feel better are dozens of girls made to feel unimportant, abandoned & inferior

In a free country, you are entitled to believe you are a woman with a penis. But not to take it into a female changing room, nor to cheat your way into a female athletic competition, nor in any way to impose your private delusion on the rest of us. theguardian.com/politics/202…

I will spend the rest of my life baffled by privileged and protected so called 'progressive' women MPs, who stand by and cheer as working women have to endure the indignity of enforced mixed sex changing areas because a straight man is wearing a new long wig and lipstick to work.

Tonight I returned to a Council I once served as Deputy Leader — this time as a resident, presenting a deputation signed by 42 others to protect single-sex violence against women and girls provision. Haringey is now under a Green administration, led by Mark Blake. Afterwards, Council security, concerned for our safety, escorted me and two other women out through a back entrance and towards the bus stop to protect us from protesters outside screaming some claptrap about “TERFs” and “the state”. In 1986, aged 10, I came to Haringey with my mum and sister, fleeing domestic violence. We were placed in hotels — the first notably in Holborn and St Pancras — where women and girls stood guard at bathroom doors to protect each other’s dignity. Apparently that 10-year-old girl grew up to become a stooge of the state for fighting to protect services for the women and girls who came after her. We came to speak. They came to intimidate. It didn’t work. Those responsible should be thoroughly ashamed.

UN Special Rapporteur: Many surrogate children are #trafficked, #abused, and used for #organharvesting. We may never understand the level of child devastation #surrogacy inflicts because so many, on the left and the right, promote #BigFertility in the name of helping infertile couples having babies.
Reem Alsalem, United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, presenting the keynote address at a conference in Melbourne, laid out 8 myths about surrogacy. The first will shock you: That the majority of commissioning parents want a genetically related child to love and nurture for a lifetime. The available evidence, drawn from investigative journalism and civil society research, does not support this as the *predominant* profile, and children have in some cases been commissioned for abuse, trafficking or organ removal.

Separated ceremonies before God but heaven forbid women should have separated facilities to get undressed
There’s no point on here trying to have any form of debate - the algorithms alone make it pointless to make time to do so as would legitimise that behaviour. But there is another point of view. Posting this here to show it does exist and not going to be cowed by the seeming blood sport of abuse so many seem now to think the public realm.

Hi Kelly, At least 20 female parkrun records are held by men. At least 300 times, men have finished 1st in the Female category. Fast older men & boys are being robbed of top age grade rankings by men in F cat. This is what you support. Could you explain why please?

Graham helpfully illustrating how sex at birth categories could work in parkrun: parkrun asks for sex at birth. If you’re found to have deliberately registered with the wrong sex, your results will be removed. Simple, really.
parkrun asks for date of birth Sharron. If you're found to have deliberately registered with the wrong date of birth your results will be removed. You're inventing a problem that doesn't exist just so you can get angry about it.

I genuinely don’t know how anyone can read this and not be horrified. Two babies shared the same womb, grew together, were born on the same day... and were then separated at birth for two different sets of parents. And now a court says they are not even “birth siblings”. This is where surrogacy takes us. Adults make the arrangements and the children live with the consequences. Where is the best interest of the child here? Surrogacy has become the Far West. Absolutely heartbreaking. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

It isn't 'unworkable'; she just disagrees with it. This fanatical, anti-scientific nonsense is harming the reputation of the trade union movement and alienating many of its female members.
Today I met with our trans, non-binary and gender diverse members. So many members have written to us explaining that the updated EHRC guidance is unworkable. I will work with our trans non-binary and gender diverse members to change the law for legal gender recognition.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK SC unanimously ruled on 16.04.2025 that “sex” “woman” and “man” in the Equality Act 2010 mean biological sex. Trans identified people have not lost rights, they remain protected separately by the Act's gender reassignment provisions and other discrimination protections. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

Everyone needs to know this is what the Green Party is now - hatred of Jews and hatred of women. I worry people might consider voting for them thinking they still have some interest in the environment.
Surprisingly, this is not a parody.

You keep saying this, and people keep pointing out it isn’t true. At this point, it can no longer be misguided ignorance, it has to be dishonesy

‘Women are not microwaves’ – A surrogate mother and a midwife speak of the havoc that surrogacy causes “During my 13-year career as a midwife I witnessed many negative consequences of surrogacy for women. The first time I encountered a surrogate mother was when I was caring for her when she was unwell in the high dependency unit. She had been commissioned by two gay men to carry a baby for them. It was her egg. There was a vast age gap between the two men and one of them died during the pregnancy. The younger one no longer wanted the baby. This young mother was then left to bring up the baby by herself. She was vulnerable, poor, and had previously been a victim of domestic abuse. I have also been involved in the care of a young woman who was carrying a baby for a heterosexual couple who divorced. It was their egg and sperm. They no longer wanted the child. She was bullied into a termination at 22 weeks gestation.” See link in the next tweet to read more.
