The term “gender based violence” obscures the fact the issue is male violence against women and girls.

The term “child marriage” obscures the fact the issue that it’s the sale of little girls to men.

The insistence by the UN to only use gender and not sex can be very harmful.

The IOC have indicated that they’ll required sex verification for all female athletes in the Olympics. The sticking point seems to be FIFA who are still allowing males with DSDs to play in women’s football.

In the UK only male people can be commit rape.

There are several, eg Lexi Sackler, Karen White, Maddison Wilson, for whom the BBC used female language.

The reporting of murderer Scarlet Blake was amongst the worst as there was originally no mention of his trans status.

They’ve spent years undermining their credibility by promoting a harmful niche ideology that some men are women (often the most sexist and offensive caricatures.) Calling rapists women, celebrating men in women’s sports and the sterilisation and mutilation of kids, and silencing women who disagree

No, she reworded an erroneous teleprompter script which referred to a “pregnant people”. She was punished for her facial expression. Despite the fact is was the teleprompter writer who had shown inaccuracy and bias.

Data consistently shows that unisex spaces like changing rooms are less safe for women.

My view is shared by the majority

So “official” Lib Dem women are men who identify as trans women and their handmaidens.

Whilst Lib Dem women who expect their rights as enshrined in the Equality Act to be upheld are “lice and bedbugs” that “you need to actively make them go away”.

I’m sure that’ll win you lots of votes.

It IS necessary to know to sex of the donor and recipient, eg to prevent serious lung damage in a male recipient receiving female donor plasma (see TRALI).

The majority of women say no. The minority that do need single sex provisions cant consent on the behalf of the majority of us.

I think you need to see this

Or how about the type of hateful and violent messages someone Graham receives every day?
September 3, 2025 at 2:32 PM
Do you mean, incitement to violence like this seen as at trans rights rallies?

Wait till you hear what the founder of Pride in Surrey did and you failed to report. From BBC news:

Jason is right that John’s critics aren’t calling for his books to be pulped, but just look at how many of the 400+ replies and 200+ quote posts are calling for John’s death. The gender taliban are real.

You’ve done a number 1 here, Owen.

Fellas like this - who don’t even have a GRC - need to know it’s not acceptable for them to use facilities for female people. There’s no reason he shouldn’t use the men’s or unisex loos.
June 15, 2025 at 11:40 AM
Of course access to loos is currently enforced. The way this is done and the consequences, will differ depending on the space/service. Eg school, cinema, office, airport. Naomi Cunningham has written about it here:

Yes it is. They will only be male with XY /XO mosaicism. This is not common.

This headline is misleading
June 6, 2025 at 7:05 AM
In the Equality Act there are 9 recognised protected characteristic, inc sex and gender reassignment, to ensure the human rights of all. Yes trans people are human, have the right to their identity and protection from discrimination. But a trans identity doesn’t override others sex based rights.

We know the $10m study by Dr Olson Kennedy was suppressed for its negative results. And we know there are side effects such as brain damage, osteoporosis, urinary, sexual and fertility dysfunction, early menopause, pain, tumours in liver and kidneys etc. We just don’t know the incidence.
May 1, 2025 at 1:08 PM
The SC confirmed that women and girls have been discriminated against for 10+ years, and your response is to say that was a good thing?

Women have been assaulted, harassed, sued, forced from support services, jobs, sports, public life and vilified as bigots etc. Try this from our perspective
