Imagine accusing a woman who used her massive platform to fight for women, despite being put through the ringer on a massive scale for doing so, of abandoning the 'sisterhood' because she doesn't want to vote for a party that pretended not to know what a woman was. Rowling could easily have coasted on her fame and fortune and instead stuck her neck out, which so few others in her position have done, but she's some kind of privileged sellout to women because she... won't vote for the party that sold out women? xitter.cf/HanoverHussy/status/18…

Please make distinction between transgender and transsexual. Buck Angel calls transgender like me- fake clowns because I don't deny bio sex. Transsexuals necessarily deny bio sex- need & use transition to justify further pathology along w/futile attempts to deny who they are.

I appreciate this was posted 2 days ago but reading #firedoesntdiscriminate on the 7th anniversary of the Grenfell fire in London shows exactly how insulting that hashtag is. Fire absolutely discriminated that morning. People who were on low incomes and immigrants were overwhelmingly the victims. People on low incomes who live in high rise blocks and in houses with multiple occupancy are still at greater risk. Pointless and insensitive hashtag.

Why has the Chief Finance Officer of @BrightonHoveCC okayed a 'saving' in the 2024-25 budget of £120k for domestic abuse services, when this is mostly funded by ringfenced money from @luhc for Domestic Abuse Act duties ('new burdens')? brightonsisters.wordpress.co… #SaveRISE

A brave teacher pays the price of empathy...

Friends of all faiths (Jewish, Muslim, Christian) or none have been marching in London for #CeasefireNOW & peace w justice for all. One spotted this white kite with murdered teacher-poet Refaat Alareer's prophetic poem. His students call him "transformational". He'll live in them

This might be an unpopular opinion, but in the majority of cases, fertility treatment doesn’t work. Spend your money on something else, or don’t build up debt to fund fertility treatment ‘Cost of living affecting London fertility treatment patients’ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo…

As a species who should be caring for ALL our children and their futures, we humans need to do better...
Devastating floods have displaced over 770,000 people in the #HornofAfrica. This is a region that finds itself at the sharp end of the #ClimateCrisis. Urgent action at the upcoming #COP28 is needed to increase communities resilience & preparedness towards climate disasters.

Respect to @Emmabarnett @BBCWomansHour She's doing a great job of highlighting a ridiculous and offensive example of erasure of women's health issues

It’s worth reading the letter in this tweet to understand how anti-educational this Trust is and to flag the dangers of the Academy system. Lined paper, teachers not allowed to have the classroom arranged as they see fit, women teachers required to dress in particular ways.

Taking tents away from rough sleepers - and punishing charities who give those tents out? What a cruel idea. It won't fix homelessness. It'll just make people's lives harder. Shame on you @SuellaBraverman. Sign now to get these plans scrapped: 38d.gs/aqtz
