So articulate @CeriLeeG (and courageous as well). So glad you are getting this story told. And thanks @JuliaHB1 for doing the interview. This legal 'loophole' that means that released sex offfenders can change gender, then name, and go under the radar, needs to be sorted asap.

Love this. Unapologetic argument for free speech & in defence of hate speech, articulates way beyond cliché & in a novel & witty way, why this matters. Thanks @TheFIREorg & @lexfridman and of course Harvey Silverglate

Katy is right to put "Baroness" in quote marks. I went on @theJeremyVine show as a woman, no quote marks or CIS pre-cursor needed. Was glad Katy debated. More of that please. But for accuracy, do listen back and decide for yourself. @BBCRadioTwo about 12.05

That pub chat & friendship between Linda Bellos and @katyjon has rather cheered me up on . And those last words from @Docstockk made me cry

Yes there's a generational aspect to identity rows (see my book 'I Find That Offensive!'). But @Docstockk is right on . Too many afraid to even ask qus. But thankfully more young people are daring to be labelled heretics. Hurrah for @LivingFreedomUK & @speechchampions

Outstanding article by @bindelj on child sex offender Clive Bundy (who abused his own daughter for yrs), & leaves prison a different man. Or rather a different would-be woman. Naming himself Claire Fox. Solidarity with @CeriLeeG for having to endure his paternal horrors. Again.

Very important story / interview in @spectator. For this French, female academic, accused of Islamophobia and worse, means her life is seriously under threat. What courage to remain resiliant in protecting her academic book on the Muslim Brotherhood still speak out

Richly deserved accolades. @SpeechUnion is a treasure: a proper union that actually defends its members. Sadly a rarity: on free speech issues, too many trade/student unions either avoid them, or worse, act as censors themselves. Disasterous: TUs should be SO important for rights

Good, but THE GALL of the man. Sadiq Khan claims "Boris Johnson is the root cause of badly-implemented low-traffic neighbourhoods" and "admitted" some have displaced traffic & "caused more congestion", urging residents to lobby councils for LTNs' removal telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/2

See also this explanation of how @Channel4News were unhelpfully less than partial when discussing @KishwerFalkner. The whole issue of gender as an ideology really does warp good sense in too many institutions 2/2 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/

...We need to think about the danger of encouraging platforms to call police for what others label hate speech/harassment (but is often more complicated). For Example, Kishwer Falkner, head of EHRC, has been accused of harassment...
