How is it possible that this man is still a judge ?
This is Judge Ian Darling. He let Afghan migrant Abdul Barkeeh Salihi walk free from court after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He was fined just £400. Abdul's address was given as a taxpayer funder asylum hotel in Oxford. Should he be detained and deported?

What a give-away !
As it was time to talk about the women of Piddington safety concerns today. The mass majority of MPs walked out. Let that sink in.

A new Islamic double act ! Giving the lie to the idea that they have no sense of humour

"Anybody who tells you you are born in the wrong body and you need to medicalize yourself with drugs and surgery is a charlatan." NH Rep Jonah Wheeler.

Jonah Orion Wheeler lays out a clear argument against gender ideology: it reinforces the very sex-based stereotypes it claims to dissolve. He emphasizes that sex is a meaningful legal and physical category, and that telling children they’re “born in the wrong body” and need medicalization to become who they are is both false and harmful. He also highlights the importance of listening to detransitioners who have shared their stories.
Gender ideology is an illiberal, backwards way of thinking that I make no apologies for opposing. Heres a bit of my explanation as to why.

I stand by this. Despite the perception, what I said was correct. This is a mischaracterization of what I said, and I never called anyone delusional. I also did not say that Nazis did the surgery in the concentration camps, however it is absolutely a fact that Nazi doctors such as Mengele, preformed experiments in an attempt to ‘cure’ homosexuality and to alter the development of secondary sexual characteristics. As is happening today, whether we see that now or not. In 1931, Gohrbandt, with Ludwig Levy-Lenz, was one of the first surgeons to perform sex reassignment surgery with vaginoplasty on some transgender patients. Gohrbandt went on to win the iron cross and was Hitler’s personal doctor. The basic point I’m making is that it is not loving, nor compassionate, to affirm a lie. Especially one rooted in an explicit path to harm. We can understand that when it comes to drugs, but seem to have lost that elsewhere.

Important, heartfelt and magisterial as ever from JKR. In particular, her class analysis of gender ideology is of characteristic unerring accuracy.

If you would please be so kind as to post an argument that JKR has made, being careful to be accurate and to not paraphrase/editorialize, and then dismantle it, that would be grand. Thank you in advance. @Thetidethatturn @jk_rowling

Apparently women can’t attend a @NWSL game wearing a XX-XYAthletics shirt. Trans flags everywhere though. @ThornsFC

Amy Acton was nine when it started. By the time she was 12, her stepfather was arrested and charged. He fled with her mother and was a fugitive until his death. He was guilty. She was a child. It is breathtakingly horrific for Vivek to victim-blame a child 50 years later.

The woman - Robin Becker - who wrote these wonderful poems has nothing in common with the fetishes of an AGP.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

I was happy to stand with these brave female athletes when the entire team gave a press conference saying NO to allowing a boy to compete on the women's team a few yeas ago. Well done! #SaveWomensSports
