@brightonargus any ideas on why the people harassing attendees of a Brighton @Womans_Place_UK #WPUK meeting on women’s rights might have been flying the rainbow flag upside-down?
Credit to Clare Dimyon CBE for spotting that!

My thoughts on why @Girlguiding’s transgender inclusion policy is so dangerous for girls and trans-excluding rather than trans-including:
1) 97% of sexual crimes are committed by men and boys. Allowing boys to share overnight accommodation, showers and changing facilities with girls and allowing men to provide overnight and intimate care for girls puts those girls in danger.
2) This is especially dangerous because @Girlguiding have made it clear that anyone expressing concerns about safeguarding where those concerns touch on trans is in danger of being expelled from the organisation. The duty to report concerns has been compromised.

Things which are not #transphobic, despite TRAs shouting otherwise:

- safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- homosexuality
- heterosexuality
- women’s rights
- science
- evidence-based healthcare
- asking questions
- women saying ‘no’ to men
Sex, race, religion, sexual orientation: all are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Gender identity is not. Gender reassignment is not the winning card in a game of top trumps. Every protected characteristic must be considered when changing policy or law.
Women, men, genuine sufferers of gender dysphoria: Your rights, safety, privacy and dignity and those of your children and elderly parents are under threat by a bunch of self-entitled men yelling ‘transphobe’ at you. You are allowed to say no.

1: Too hot to do the ironing? Send it out, dahling!

2: Make sure to put two sets of cut-glass tumblers on your wedding list, otherwise you’ll be short at larger dinner parties.

3: Ask a properly-educated friend how to pronounce ‘hyperbole’. Practice until you can say it correctly and fluently. Then one can pass for ‘one of us’ in social situations.

I was troubled at @EmilyThornberry’s remark at a recent @Fabians event that ‘women have space to budge up for transwomen in our spaces’ in response to my question about @UKLabour allowing self-ID women on their AWS. It came after a great speech in which Thornberry (1)
spoke at length about the male domination of politics and female MPs fighting to be both seen and heard against a tidal wave of abuse. I was amazed that she contradicted herself like that. Women don’t have room to ‘budge up’. (2)
Women are under-represented across leadership positions in politics, business, public and social life. That’s WHY we have programs to attract and advance women. That’s WHY we have women-only spaces. Men must do the budging and make the space, not women. (3)

To the doxxers of #ManFriday... When you go on holiday, may you always get food poisoning, delayed flights, the seat next to the toddler and lost baggage.
May you always have the back of your skirt tucked into your knickers, with used loo roll hanging out.
May your hair grow really quickly, so you have to spend a fortune retouching your highlights.

Following @DebbieHayton 's call for suggestions on how to balance women's rights, safety, privacy and dignity with the privacy desired by sufferers of gender dysphoria, I'm interested to know what people think of my proposal. See thread...
My proposal: keep the GRA as it is. Make the process for obtaining a GRC completely transparent, with clear, published criteria for obtaining one and a review meeting with the board 1 year into the 2 year ‘living as’ period. (1)
No changes to sex on legal ID documents without a GRC / re-issued birth certificate. This covers passports and driving licences. (2)
