Deeply intolerant
If only trans identifying men could follow their own advice!
Nobody gives a shit what you believe. You can believe the moon is made out of green cheese, if you want. But when you start trying to insist that your ignorance is truth, you'll get pushback. Science and medicine say trans women are women. Believe what you want, but keep your mouth shut.

The Good Law Project, as reliably wrong as ever. Euan Weddell is neither young nor a woman. And I have not harassed him. But fools and their money are soon parted!

1. The Darlington nurses won their discrimination case against an NHS trust, but a piecemeal destruction of unlawful practices is too slow.
Sex Matters says, "The coming year will test whether institutions are willing to comply with the law – or whether they will have to be compelled to do so."

What will 2026 bring for sex-based rights?
The Supreme Court judgment on the meaning of sex in the Equality Act brought legal clarity to sex-based rights last year, and most people agree with it.

An Employment Tribunal has ruled that the Darlington nurses were unlawfully harassed and discriminated against after being required to share women’s changing rooms with a male colleague.
This case underlines the need for clear guidance — and for trade unions to stand firmly with women members.

Basic intellectual hygiene is when you see a screenshot of something where someone you disapprove of or dislike or think is evil or any of the above is doing something worth mocking, you should go check first. In this case, it appears she was answering an Iranian Harry Potter fan.

New petition: Cancel the clinical trial into puberty blockers & safeguard vulnerable children
The government is aware of the potential irreversible impact (physical and emotional) of puberty blockers, having acknowledged an 'unacceptable safety risk’ following the Cass Review. Yet, hundreds of children are about to be given puberty blockers under a government-sanctioned trial.

Have a good day Sammy. I have to get on with my day. I am glad at least you agree that medicalising children to prop up an ‘identity’ should be a last resort.
Therefore the pint you brought up is mute dear. Equally currently there is no evidence to support your theory then dear.
As I said Scandinavian countries often get things right dear. Most have Self ID and see hormone treatment as a last resort.

Of course not. You are just another mentally fragile person who thinks an ‘identity’ makes you special or interesting. Be and do whatever you like that is within the law. I don’t care about your ‘gender’ - I care about your sex. If it’s male, stay out of female spaces.
Interesting that you keep avoiding answering any question directly dear. I’m gender fluid over not undergone any hormone treatment dear. Al I an abomination in your middle class middle aged white privileged eyes?
Also acknowledge my point that most trans people globally don’t have your privilege

You tell me Sammy. Even if the answer is ‘none’ I am still not going to agree that we let men into women’s spaces. Please stay out.
That’s not an answer. I’m actually how many actual assaults? 😂😂😂

We don’t. So your opinion is just as worthless as mine. But what we do know is that medicalising children didn’t ramp up until 2015 and there is still no evidence that that intervention has benefits: increasing evidence of the harm it does. Do what you want to your adult body. Leave children alone
How do you know dear? Do we have stats back in 1900 why people committed suicide or why there was self harm? I’m asking the question dear- do we?

Hopefully few because we keep men out.
Secondly how many actual assaults by trans women on women took place in public bathrooms last year? Please tell

Trans identifying men are men. You can’t change sex. This is a fact and it is not ‘racism’ or any kind of phobia to acknowledge a fact. Women have a right to single sex female spaces. I will go on saying and believing this. If it distresses you, don’t engage with me.
That mindset is skin t a racist telling black men they should use their ‘black only toilets’ dear. It’s amazing you completely ignored the parallels.
These are trans women dear - not men .
