RT @WestCountryWRN: Today we celebrate Quaker activist Catherine Impey (1847-1923) of Somerset. She founded Britain’s first anti-racist journal in 1888 after visits to USA where she formed The Society for the Recognition of the Universal Brotherhood of Man with civil rights activist Ida B. Wells.

If you can’t define “woman” then we disappear along with data on us as biological women and then, hey presto, no public policies that address our needs. Labour MPs are you listening ? It was Labour that put most sex-based rights in place. Please don’t undermine them with self ID.
RT @WasiqUK: Can you define a woman?

Thank you. To all you have said we have to add the concept of “discoverability”. We now have gatekeepers and aggregators of all screens, big and small, who, through algorithms and recommendations decide what info & creative works we see. New rules are needed.

Thank you Audrey. Hope all in legal profession, decision makers, service providers are paying attention.

RT @nathankw: Superb review of @hannahsbee book in the Observer. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/feb/19/time-to-think-by-hannah-barnes-review-what-went-wrong-at-gids This paragraph really struck me. Because dismiss it exactly what the Observer's sister paper @guardian has done. For the past week no mention of this vital book & years of downplaying concerns. Shameful.

A must read.
RT @TwisterFilm: 1./ The Great Gay Betrayal
The LGBTQ+ lobby know they're losing the argument on gender identity and they're angry. Last week LGBTQ+ groups like @HRC and assorted activists threw everything they could at the likes of @HadleyFreeman & @jk_rowling.

How wonderful to see you both together. Brings to mind the time we were all together in Dijon. Wish I was with you both ! What an icon Luciana is ! My ultimate role model.
RT @CDespringre: So good to have met with my old friend & favourite Italian lady Luciana Castellina @berlinale, an intellectual still so passionate about politics and cinema!
Luciana is one of the founder of @Cineuropa & a MEP between 1979 -1999, having chaired the @EPCulture committee.

RT @GorinMoti: After years of watching various institutions--media outlets, professional societies, universities, medical orgs, etc.--buckle under the slightest pressure from the most unhinged activists, it's refreshing to see this kind of commitment to a core mission. It will spread.

Quite right David. Time we had an ID card with no more than photo/name/address/number.

No evidence of that. I Have campaigned since mid-80s in favour of gay and trans rights. However, am opposed to gender self ID that would threaten women only spaces and against the erasure of biological women from our language.
