Start by talking: to friends, family, your community (to wherever it fans out). Write to your local, state and federal politicians. No need for aggression. Make sense. Formulate a cogent argument. Consider joining a sex-realist women’s group like @Ozwimmsrights @aawaaadvocacy

Nick Mckim called women turds in Parliament, for the crime of defending women sex based rights, where was your condemnation? This works both ways

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 A female inmate has filed a lawsuit against Colorado prison officials, revealing that violent transgender criminals are being housed in women's cells. She says the men masturbate in common areas and walk around with visible erections. reduxx.info/exclusive-female…

I just want to marvel at the woman who is @salltweets for a moment. A post of appreciation for the woman who has been put through hell by a country that prides itself on fairness and robustness. We have all seen her deal with the persecution inflicted on her by the State through its agencies - Parliament, the AHRC, the court system, etc - with such strength, tenacity, and the unwavering knowledge that she is right. We all know she is right. Even the press that ignored her and the fight she was waging against the State for all women. And still she steps up and gives it her all. She is a talented, engaging and switched on woman. She is exceptional. And she has been cut down by the most absurd and authoritarian State perpetrated lie this country has ever seen. She has had her business destroyed in this country because of lawmakers and institutions determined to enforce the ludicrous and dangerous nonsense on all of us that men are women when they say they're women. And on the back of that first astonishing State mandated lie come so many more that can only lead to the abhorrent abuse of vulnerable people we see all around us now. But Sall has not been silenced. Far from it! I admire you so much, Sall Grover. Thank you for standing firm in the face of all those blows that were intended to devastate you. You daughter has a brilliant mother, and Australia has a fearsome champion for women.

🚨NO MORE MALES IN FEMALE JAILS🚨 ‼️NOT AN ISOLATED CASE‼️ Benjamin Charles Jones (aka Lisa Jones/Willow): male, registered child sex offender, sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl in Germany, attempted to rape a woman in Melbourne in 2021. Was housed in Victoria’s Dame Phyllis Frost women’s prison. @reduxx and @WomensForumAust raised the alarm in 2022. He stayed. After release he attempted to rape another woman in Sydney in 2024. Eligible for parole 21 November 2026.👨‍⚖️ This has happened repeatedly across Australia: • 2017 SA: Krista Richards transferred into women’s facilities; multiple allegations of violence and sexual assault by female prisoners. Premier @PMalinauskasMP called it “niche.” • 2022 Victoria: Clinton Rintoull (murderer) transferred to Tarrengower, a minimum security women’s prison; sexually assaulted a female inmate within months. One of at least seven biological males (some sex offenders) moved into Victorian women’s prisons 2003–2023. • 2023–24 Victoria: Biological male who sexually abused his 5-year-old daughter housed in Dame Phyllis Frost women’s prison. 🏳️‍⚧️ Female prisoners have had to raise the alarm themselves. Human rights bodies have defended the placements. State and federal governments have not stopped it. 🛑 When released, these male offenders have unfettered access to female-only spaces in the communities, toilets, change rooms, hospital wards, refuges and other services, precisely because of legislation government supports and will not change. 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️ No male-born person belongs in a women’s prison. Sex-based rights must be restored in law. Self-ID, surgery and case by case discretion do not change sex, and they do not make a male prisoner safe for women in custody. #FixTheSDA 💜🤍💚

Meet Benjamin Jones aka “Lisa Jones” or “Willow”. Benjamin, an Australian man, was convinced in Germany of sexually abusing a 6 year old girl and imprisoned there for 6 years. He was then deported to Australia. He was placed on the AU child sex offender registry. When he returned to Australia, he started claiming to be a woman (in 2018) and started taking hormones. In 2021, he attacked a woman in a Melbourne alleyway, in broad daylight. The attack was so brazen, it made national news, but his gender identity was never mentioned by media. He was convinced and sentenced to prison. In court, he used “she/her” pronouns. He was placed in Victoria’s Dame Phylis Frost Correctional Center, a woman’s prison. Terrified of him, the women inmates managed to get this information to outside the prison gates. In 2022, Australian women including Women’s Forum Australia, Stassja Frei & myself, contacted Victorian politicians, the Victorian Equal Opportunity & Human Rights Commission and the AHRC about Jones being in a women’s Prison. One of the letters is linked below. While the politicians ignored it, the response from the VEOHRC said amongst other deflections, “The Commission considers that Corrections Victoria’s policy for the management of prisoners who are trans, gender diverse or intersex provides a framework for prisoner placement decisions that is grounded in human rights principles.” He stayed in the women’s prison. By 2024, he was back on Australian streets. Sydney, specially. He stalked, threatened and attempted the rape a woman. Currently in a *men’s* prison, he is eligible for parole in 3 weeks. We all know what will happen next. Benjamin Jones showcases exactly why “gender identity” does not work in society. Why all laws on the basis of gender identity should be abolished. A predatory, repeat attempted rapist, used “gender identity” to be placed in a woman’s prison. He was either ignored or defended by the government and institutions. When he is released, under current Australian law, he can enter any woman only space he wants. There is only one question left: Is this 👇 a woman? @AlboMP @ChrisMinnsMP @BenCarrollMP @JessWilsonMP @WarrenPHON_VIC @VEOHRC @AusHumanRights xitter.cf/salltweets/status/1590…
In attempting to get a male sex offender removed from a Victorian women’s prison, we have contacted @DanielAndrewsMP @SonyaKilkenny @NatHutchins @ShingvWorld @JaclynSymes @VicOmbudsman @VEOHRC @Kate_Jenkins_ @lorrainejfinlay And not a single one has done a single thing about it

A culture war being played out in every government department, agency and ministry. A culture war in which the State wields its institutions as weapons on the most vulnerable and voiceless and the only winners are abusive, degenerate men.

And there’s something else about all this that has been playing on my mind. I feel as though there’s another issue, in that it seems to teach females ‘silence until a formal request to go further/change positions/continue etc’ - as though men were mind readers and even more dangerous for for girls- telling them they don’t have any agency or a voice of their own, to simply communicate… This model of consent is sold as the ultimate legal and moral clarity society has been lacking to stop rapes. Of course it fails to deliver- because a) rapists and sleaze bucket creeps don’t listen to the word NO even if we’re able to get that word out at all due to the stress and fear, B) violent men who feel comfortable inappropriately grabbing, squeezing and hurting women- they’re the kids of men who ignore obvious body language signs that the woman does not consent- things like her gripping a table and tugging hard to get out of his filthy grip. But it also seems to me, to worsen the issues that cause confusion in genuinely consenting encounters in the first place. I didn’t think I could be shocked by just how much damage the wokerati do- but here I am again- shocked and appalled.

A lot of us were very willing to have a debate without heat, @stonewalluk, and the reason that never happened wasn't because gender critical feminists didn't want one. While we were trying to get you to listen to our concerns, your former CEO was telling a BBC boss that gay people not wanting to include the opposite sex in their dating pool was 'sexual racism'. While we were pointing out the homophobia inherent in gender ideology, Stonewall ambassador Alex Drummond (a bearded, heterosexual man who'd had no surgery and taken no cross-sex hormones but liked wearing skirts), was going into schools to talk to students about his 'lesbian' identity. @BluskyeAllison, who actually is a lesbian, was subject to unlawful discrimination at her place of work for tweeting: ‘Stonewall recently hired Morgan Page, a male bodied person who ran workshops with the sole aim of coaching heterosexual men who identify as lesbians on how they can coerce young lesbians into having sex with them. Page called [it] “overcoming the cotton ceiling”.’ When the UK Supreme Court upheld women's right to single sex spaces, you issued a statement expressing your unhappiness about the ruling. In her report on your unhappy influence at the University of Essex, you were found by barrister @akuareindorf to have misrepresented the law as it related to women's rights: '[Stonewall have] stated the law as Stonewall would prefer it to be, rather than the law as it is’. In 2018, you publicly advised schools to shred a research pack saying there were risks to puberty blockers, in spite of the fact that you aren't a medical charity and that there was already credible evidence that puberty blockers are neither irreversible nor harm-free. Meanwhile you produced your own educational packs, recommending a children's book, for ages 5-9, in which the parent 'is neither a man, nor a woman – they’re non-binary.' In July 2022, Stonewall sent out a tweet that read ‘Research suggests that children as young as two recognise their trans identity'. @thetimes has reported how you've sought to control the language used by NHS trusts and government on their social-media accounts. Organisations would get points from you for replacing commonly understood words with ideologically approved terms, eg, 'birthing parent' instead of 'mother'. thetimes.com/uk/society/arti… In short, you took a maximalist position on gender identity ideology, which you attempted to enforce by diktat. You refused to acknowledge that you'd hitched your wagon to a cause that, unlike civil rights, gay rights or women's rights, sought to strip rights from others. You sought to curtail everyone's right to freedom of speech and belief by controlling what it was permissible to think and say, through the management and political class. You have argued against women's and girl's rights to their own spaces, their sports and to assemble without men. Your former CEO tried to shame gay women/men into dating the opposite sex if the latter claimed to be female/male. Your mantra was 'no debate' because, like all totalitarians, you preferred slogans, bullying and infiltration of powerful institutions to talking to opponents. You appear to have had no concern for the lowly people your ideology was harming: gender confused kids, female rape victims, female prisoners, regular people hounded and investigated at their places of work for refusing to accept the new mandates on sex and gender issued from on high. Your 'activism' has been a disaster for those trans-identified people who really do just want to get on with their lives in peace. You have besmirched the name of an organisation many of us were once proud to donate to, the charity that was partly responsible for securing the legal right of gay people to marry, which a lot of us thought would never happen in our lifetimes. The milquetoast words quoted below do not erase a decade of gender activism that has been disastrous not only for individuals but for society as a whole. There was once a debate to be had, but until you acknowledge the direct harm you've caused, it is no more possible to debate you than to persuade a person in the throes of a drug-induced psychosis that they are not, in fact, the reincarnated Christ.

A tale of two EU conferences: On Tuesday afternoon, two events will take place in the centre of Brussels' EU district. Both of them are on the topic of women. One of the conferences will host a panel of women who have been punished materially, socially, professionally, or otherwise, for insisting that women are real, that we are adult human and female, and that that definition matters for any law or policy that claims to protect or advance our interests. One of the central themes discussed on the panel will be the treatment doled out to these individual women who have refused to abandon this material definition of womanhood. Court cases, physical violence, social exclusion, threats... you name it, we've been on the receiving end of it. Another topic for the panel to discuss is a much wider and arguably worse: the steadfast refusal of the people in the same Brussels EU district -- from the media, to elected MEPs, to EU Commission officials - to acknowledge the role that they have played in these panellists' being treated this way, and their role in the erasure of sex as a coherent and important factor in the organisation of society. For at least a decade, the powers-that-be in Brussels have pretended not to notice the erasure of sex in law, all while they have been themselves been advancing and promoting it. Exceptions, of course, come from traditionally right-wing parties (with some particularly relentless championnes, in the form of @MargaPisa @LaurenceTrochu @Barbarabonte and some notable others). Athena Forum founder Faika El-Nagashi has told me that she thinks most EU officials (elected or otherwise) are not aware of the issue, as opposed to pretending not to be aware. I think she is far too charitable. I myself had my employment contract terminated by EU officials because my insistence on the material definition of woman. I wrote on the European Commission internal message board about the danger (and stupidity) of pretending women and girls are not a definable phenomenon all while purporting to have a raft of policies and laws that are "for" us. A recent FOI request revealed that the Commission officials considered my views on material reality of sex to be contrary to EU values. Which brings me to conference number two that will take place on Tuesday. The other conference is about women as an idealised set of stereotypes that can be adopted or discarded at will, a concept that is open to ownership by any man who enjoys being seen by others as a woman - which a lot of men apparently do (usually as part of a distressing and all-consuming sexual paraphilia). I had assumed, in my naivety, that once people in power heard the message that it harms women and girls - especially if you come from a lower class background, which I do - to pretend sex isn't real and doesn't matter, that they would do what was necessary to roll back the damage. I thought that once I presented the evidence that most men who claim to be women are motivated by sexual arousal, that politicians would find the courage stop causing more damage. I was very, very wrong. And those are the people who will be attending this other conference on Tuesday, the "gender" conference, which will kick of "Gender equality week" in the European Parliament. There's no point in attending, because we know exactly what they will say. Empower, glass ceiling, leadership. They will not mention sex, or Athena Forum, or the punished women on the panel *just down the street* (no Parliament invitation was offered to Athena Forum for this, the week of celebrating "gender" equality", which I think tells you everything you need to know.) As it happens, the woman-is-a-feeling gender event finishes right at the moment that the @AthenaForumEU event begins (6.30PM). Take of that symbolism what you will. I will be at the women's conference, and I will be tweeting it minute-by-minute. I hope to get some video interviews with some of the (truly courageous) women who will be there.

Morning after the night before which may have included 🥃with TERFlandia: How The Global Terven Will win The Gender Wars author, @KDansky thank you @spinifexpress for bringing Kara to Australia to boost our spirits and share the global guide map to winning said war. WVA loved helping to organise the book launch in the heart of Melbourne with the generous support of our movement's anonymous benefactor and a sensible pink dollar benefiting venue that knows lesbians are adult human females sexually attracted to adult human females. Pics thanks to that anonymous woman photographer featuring chapter author Angela Jones. As Kara says: "We will win if we can be heard"

I'm a Victorian voter and I endorse this position. This reasoning here ⬇️ is guiding my vote. Pass it on if you agree. @theage @abcnews @abcmelbourne you mightn't want to report on it but it's a reality we live and see and it's consequential.

Same here. In fact, our opponents are being quite disingenuous to call women's rights a "single issue" - its not. Your loss of rights, impact my freedom of speech, my freedom of association, my right to hold different views & even possibly my right to liberty... Women's rights is the fulcrum on which so much else hangs.
