Society owes you big time. I hope the book sells like hot cakes !

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.

Thank you for standing up & being counted.
RT @UNSRVAW: I was not aware that some experts were issuing a statement supporting #Spain's #SelfID. Needless to say I do not share this position that there is a human right to acquire a gender identity through unregulated self-identification. https://t.co/02ueToImiC

Would be interesting to read their statutes, annual report. No idea under what budget line they are funded. Level of funding is unbelievable.
RT @RoisinMichaux: The trans lobby group @TGEUorg got more than €1 million from the European Commission to cover expenses for 2022 and 2023. But they don’t appear to have a physical office location. One million for 12 people to work on their laptops on their couch?

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.

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.

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.

Well said Dennis. You telling your truth is helping turn this around. We need so many more to do so with so many organisations still signed up to Stonewall or believing that name signifies something good which it once did.
RT @Jebadoo2: 1/ Gay right are human rights.

Like the right to grow up different. If you're a boy, that's the right to have mainly female friends, like musicals, not be interested in sports, be a bit nerdy and not have any of that consign you …
