There's a war on women, being waged by transactivists, many of them men who think they're women (or say they do). Pronouns: I/me/mine. #IStandWithJKRowling

No-one - absolutely no-one - is ever "assigned a gender at birth". It's just nonsense.

Any member of the Green Party who is Jewish and/or a woman, needs to ask themselves if the Party is a safe place for them to remain a member.

Protecting kids isn't controversial. It's the bare minimum. If your movement can't say "leave the children alone," your movement is the problem.

Does @parkrunUK not concern themselves about basic safeguarding? Graham Holland, Run Director, spent much time yesterday denying a threat of violence was made towards women. He even tagged the man making the threat into other women's feeds.

.@TheAthletic says the Fever should cut Sophie Cunningham. Too much drama, on top of Clark. Clark is worth it, Sophie isn't. Or so the thinking goes. But Cunningham sells tickets. WITH Clark, of course. And Mitchell, and the whole darned team. And it's a business, right?

📣🕯📖 Introducing the CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY FREE SPEECH SOCIETY When we arrived at Cambridge University last year, we expected to find a place built around the pursuit of truth: where ideas could be freely raised, tested, and challenged. Cambridge ought to be a bastion of critical thinking, but in practice, that principle has been eroded. Speakers are no-platformed or quietly uninvited. Students self-censor in supervisions and exams as well as social settings – not because they lack a view, but because they have learned that the wrong view carries social cost. Too often, ideas are not tested by argument and challenge, but are left to stagnate in closed-minded consensus. We think this is a serious failure of the University’s basic function and mission. It is against this backdrop that we are founding the Cambridge University Free Speech Society. We firmly hold the belief that the only reliable way to sort good ideas from bad ones is to let them compete in the open: to state them clearly, subject them to scrutiny, defend them under pressure, and revise or abandon them when they fail to hold up. The society will run across a few main formats: Speaker events with open Q&A – bringing in speakers with a range of views and perspectives from across the political and academic spectrum, and giving students and the public the chance to question and challenge them directly. Student debates – opportunities for members to argue positions, including ones they may not personally hold, and to sharpen their own thinking and public speaking skills in the process. The Symposium – a fortnightly reading group dedicated to understanding the ideas underpinning the present historical moment. Join us! If you think a university should be a place where you can think out loud, question received wisdom, argue your case, and disagree openly without being cast out for it, we’d love you to join us. All we ask of you is the willingness to contest ideas in good faith and the humility to be contested in return. Details of our first event to follow shortly! In the meantime, follow us here on X at @cufreespeechsoc, on Instagram at @cufreespeechsociety, and feel free to get in touch at committee@cufss.org or through our website cufss.org. We are deeply grateful to the Ian Mactaggart Programme for its support. Administered by the Free Speech Union, the Ian Mactaggart Programme was established to foster a culture of open debate, independent thinking and free expression among young people in the UK, especially students.

I'm delighted to announce the launch of the Cambridge University Free Speech Society! A sorely needed space at Cambridge, where you can escape the group think, have your views challenged, and make friends with people who don't agree with you. No trigger warnings. No 'safe spaces'. No Welfare Officer. We believe these are underhanded ways of stifling speech. Any and all support appreciated 🩵

A New York jury just awarded $2 MILLION to a young woman who underwent a double mastectomy at 16 and later detransitioned. The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice. Her case alleged that serious mental-health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia and autism-spectrum traits, were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed on a minor. Now watch what happens when someone like her speaks publicly. For years we were told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself was dangerous. But when a detransitioner stands up and says, “This happened to me,” suddenly she becomes the problem. That is the epistemic tell. When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated. When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence gets attacked. A jury heard the testimony. A jury examined the evidence. A jury found malpractice. And a jury put the damages at $2 million. You don’t protect vulnerable young people by demanding silence from the ones who came back and said, “I wish someone had slowed this down.” You protect them by listening. #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks

I can promise you insurance companies are taking notice. Rates will skyrocket. Doctors will be wary of being sued. Hospitals will want to avoid the headache. And people will see the opportunity for big payouts. YAY!!!!!!!! I hope it costs the monsters all dearly.

This man thinks that women somehow don’t get as sick as men do, simply because we don’t have the luxury of lying around moaning and groaning like the world is coming to an end whenever we don’t feel well. Newsflash, my guy — we get just as sick as you do, and feel just as bad. The difference is that we don’t have anyone to take care of us because we’re the ones who take care of everybody else.

This happened because Planet Fitness allows men to use women's changing rooms. They changed their policies to allow this because trans activists convinced them that it's bigoted not to let men in. As ever, the victims of this corporate decision weren't born with penises. I sincerely hope they sue.

And we will continue to confirm that it's not OK for men to use women's spaces. More, it's not lawful. Behind this insidious group's bland slogans is a determination to remove women's human rights.
TransLucent is pleased to confirm that it is OK to be Trans (and it's OK to be Gay). #ItsOkayToBeTrans #ItsOkayToBeGay #CPC26 #TransRightsAreHumanRights #BanConversionTherapy
