"You can't change someone's gender identity or sexual orientation but you can transition them from male to female which will turn a previously gay man into a straight woman, which under this Bill will be illegal and also trying to stop them will be illegal."

A friend has recently got interested in feminism after working on a project that improves safety for women. It never occurred to her that men would be included in the category of women. Feels like she's been introduced to a game where she's not allowed to know the rules.

A professional conduct tribunal ruled that a barrister’s social media post was not so “seriously offensive” as to potentially lead to a sanction, a ruling which illustrates how high the bar is for complaints about barristers’ expression of political views

The government’s conversion-practices helpline tender now expects as few as 300 calls a year, instead of the 15,000 envisaged. @Daniel_J_Martin

Our event was lawful and peaceful. Women have a right to walk the streets without fear of threats of male abuse or violence.
A mob turned up to abuse us & face off with the police.
Men can call #ReclaimTheNight "far right", that doesn't make it true.

Rowers may well remember Phelps as the chair of the British Rowing board (2013-18) which waved through the 2016 Transgender Policy that allowed males into women’s rowing … we still have numerous indoor rowing records held by males.

Had a conversation with a lovely chap in the pub when we were in London.
He struck up a conversation because we share the same home town.
He was a "trans ally"
These are some of the takes from our conversation:
People can definitely change sex.
Saying woman means someone who identifies as a woman isn't circular.
Nothing in life is objective.
My hair isn't purple because different languages don't use the word purple.
It was bizarre.
Although the conversation did end when I asked him if, that evening, he discovered his inner woman essence & he had the realisation that he was actually a woman, would it be reasonable for him to use a women's changing room the following day (The Pete scenario). He thought about it & said no.
I imagine he's still there questioning his own transphobia.

Good morning National Portrait Gallery @NPGLondon. Bev Jackson is missing from Tim Walker's "Fairyland" exhibition.
Bev was the spokeswoman at the 1970 Gay Liberation March which inspired Tim's exhibition. Don't you think she should be included?
Please discuss with Tim as I am sure you would not want to be seen to exclude such a key figure in our nation's history?

We clearly need an urgent 'Where's Bev?' email campaign to @NPGLondon.
Maybe they could use this perfectly nice one pending a properly commissioned Tim Walker portrait? @BevJacksonAuth

So this is today. The meeting is closed, and won't be streamed. Nonethless, I can confidently predict that no one will mention the rights of Angela Carini.
This is shameful - and should be discrediting - from @SportandRights

💔Afghan women can beg in the streets but are punished for working, studying, or speaking out. Girls are banned from school, women from universities, jobs, parks, even traveling alone.

Under @andyburnham's Conversion Practices Bill, is it an "abusive conversion practice" to convert a lesbian into a "hetero" trans "man"? Is it "serious physical harm" to amputate her healthy breasts, sterilize her & give her osteoporosis to convert her to a straight dude?

🥰🙏Thanks on behalf of Afghan women 🥰🙏
Tonight the women of Afghanistan have been awarded the 2026 @ChathamHouse Prize in recognition of their courage and resilience in the face of systematic gender persecution, and for their determination to defend the rights and futures of women and girls.
Accepting the prize on Afghanistan is @EliSafdari, the former goalkeeper for Afghanistan’s Women’s National football team. The prize was presented by former Prime Minister and President of Chatham House @theresa_may.
As part of the ceremony, @ShaharzadAkbar, @ZahraJoya, @Orzala, Benafsha Yaqoobi and Fawzia Koofi spoke with @bbclysedoucet about the challenges facing the women of Afghanistan and how the international community can respond.

Where to begin with this one-sided BBC Wales article on the draft Conversion Practices Bill?
Readers deserve to know what the draft actually says and why many people and groups oppose it.
• Smith and Humanists UK make the case for a ban. Nobody gets to explain why they oppose this draft bill.
• The article doesn’t tell readers that the draft also covers transgender identities.
• It also skips a basic rule-of-law question: can parents and therapists tell in advance when a frank conversation might be treated as a criminal offence?
• Gay Men’s Network, Sex Matters and LGB Alliance had already given evidence to the same parliamentary committee. Where are their arguments about the potential effects on parents and exploratory therapy?
• The article repeats a figure from Smith’s testimony suggesting 75% of survivors want a ban, without identifying the survey or telling readers what respondents were asked.
BBC News interviewed a critic when the draft was published in June. Why couldn’t this piece give readers even a brief account of the objections, or link to that earlier reporting?

The Crown Prosecution Service @CPSUK has been consulting on updating the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
It plans to remove “gender” and “gender identity” from its section on bias, but instead of adding in sex it has mixed up hate crimes and the Equality Act. 🤷🤷
We have responded!

Tim Walker was inspired to create his exhibition Fairyland - currently at the National Portrait Gallery - by this plaque commemorating the first GLF march in London 27 Nov 1970. The National Portrait Gallery tells us:
"In preparation for this exhibition, he (Walker) spent the aphing dozens of activists, performers, artists, and writers in his inimitable style. These new pictures are the result of Walker’s quest to connect with queer trailblazers in Britain and beyond".
The lesbian who spoke at the 1970 march was @BevJacksonAuth - yet her portrait is missing from the exhibition. Why is that Tim Walker? And what do you have to say @NPGLondon?

The attempted erasure of LGB people by the TQ+ mob is very real with national institutions enabling it.
Great to see @AllianceLGB co-founder @BevJacksonAuth speaking out against @UKLabour’s deeply homophobic conversion practices legislation.

We were not a "female-only" march, we were a female-only march. We were from 18 to 83 in age; straight, bisexual & lesbian; from across the political spectrum; first-time marchers & veterans; survivors of sexual assault & domestic abuse.
What we had in common: we were all women.
