🇪🇺 I spent ten years with the Greens and three decades in progressive politics and civil society. What made me speak out against gender identity policies were the extreme demands and the vicious campaigns against those who dared to question them. As a politician, I felt I had the responsibility and the opportunity to make a difference.

My statement in the European Parliament in Brussels, in English (German follows), explaining why I attended the @athenaforumeu conference last Tuesday. Sex-based women’s rights are universal and necessary; they are not far-right. I encourage an open debate on the serious consequences of gender identity ideology and its associated legislation at national and EU level. Like many other women around the world, I refuse to be silenced by aggressive trans activists and their SLAPP lawsuits and legal proceedings.

Mr. Tickle reminds me of Mel Smith, described by his comedy partner Griff Rhys Jones as "A gentleman and a scholar, a gambler and a wit." A much nicer man, by all accounts.
Western society is currently divided between people who know this is a man and are prepared to say so and those who know this is a man but lie out of obedience to an ideology. There is no third option. Literally nobody on earth thinks "Roxanne Tickle" is actually a woman.

The Conversion Practices Bill attempts, by the back door, to introduce ‘asexual’ and ‘non-binary’ in to the legal framework. It does so in a messy, unstructured manner as the Bill and its explanatory notes show. Explanatory notes 'are not meant to be a comprehensive description of it'. This is a fail in this case. /1 #BinTheBill

An absolutely perfect example of progressive brain rot: western women are bigots for wanting women-only spaces, but Muslim men are celebrated for insisting on men-only spaces dailymail.com/news/article-1…
