These teenage girls in Washington are braver than millions of grown men in America. They refused to run against a biological male in girls' cross country. Why are 15-year-old girls having to stand up for basic fairness while grown men are too cowardly to speak out? Ridiculous.

Make no mistake: this where trans rights activists in the UK would like us, too. Silenced, punished, shamed, forced to affirm a repugnant, dangerous lie. It is disgusting, and we must fight it with everything we’ve got.

@reduxx @KirralieS The $95,000 is insane - but the part where Kirralie is ordered to pin a post written by the court to all of her social media that would be calling herself a bigot? That's not intended to "shame" her, apparently, that's intended to shut all of us up.

In a free country, you are entitled to believe you are a woman with a penis. But not to take it into a female changing room, nor to cheat your way into a female athletic competition, nor in any way to impose your private delusion on the rest of us. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Imagine if a group of women had to go all the way to the Supreme Court because people in “progressive” parties like yours decided to ditch the definition of what it is to be a woman in favour of fashionable gender ideology. Imagine if, after the Supreme Court underlined biology as the scientific reality underpinning what it is to be a woman, people in your party were still battling tooth and nail to allow any man to declare he’s a woman, be treated as a woman and gain access to women’s safe spaces. Imagine that dystopian nightmare. Oh, we don’t need to.

Imagine you're pregnant and your boss sacks you because Reform scrapped the Equality Act and all the laws that protect you as a mother.

So the opening acts cancelled and his own band quit. Ed Sheeran says hold my beer. 😉

Little Hope was one of the very first dogs we ever rescued. We found her with a nail gun shot into her and some very severe injuries from clear animal abuse. She got over her physical injuries quite quickly but it was her mental scars that took several months to build back up and, luckily, once I did that, she found the most wonderful home in England with her gorgeous mom, Steff. Some dogs do remember you but not all do. As soon as I saw Hope during my crazy 120 km run, I think she recognized me and started playing around, although I didn't have a huge amount of time to spend with her. With about 110 km done, my body gave up and I collapsed and the medic refused to let me go any further. What I couldn't believe was that even though there were lots of people around, Hope burst through and ran over and comforted me. Now I could be being romantic about the situation and overthinking it but I also think that she knew that I was in trouble, just like she had been in trouble one day when our paths last met. You really do have to love dogs. There's nothing quite like them .

This is madness. The NSPCC’s job is to protect children, but this completely fails that basic test. Lucy Powell should call for this disgraceful guidance to be withdrawn immediately. Girls must have a right to privacy and safety in their changing rooms.

What is the NSPCC for if it can't say "male teachers should not be supervising girls changing" ? Trying to pass the buck to the EHRC and DFE is despicable. The Equality Act must never displace safeguarding. There is no reason to remove this guidance.

It’s deeply worrying that a man who says women should not have single-sex provision - not even in hospital or prison - is now chair of the UK parliament’s joint committee on human rights. @alexsobel doesn’t believe in human rights for women.

I will never stop fighting. Men are not women.

Meine Nachbarin ist 81. Sie wollte Strom, Wasser und Internet anmelden. Sie hat es nicht geschafft. Der Stromanbieter: nur noch online, mit E-Mail-Adresse. Hat sie nicht. Der Wasserversorger: ein QR-Code auf dem Brief. Sie hat ihn ans Fenster gehalten – sie dachte, er muss ins Licht. Der Internetanbieter: 40 Minuten Warteschleife, dann die Ansage, es doch bitte übers Kundenportal zu machen. Ich hab drei Abende gebraucht. Sie saß daneben und hat sich zehnmal entschuldigt. Für Dinge, die nicht ihre Schuld waren. Sie hat keine Familie mehr. Kein Enkel, der mal eben vorbeikommt. Ohne einen Nachbarn, der zufällig Zeit hat, hätte sie diese Verträge nicht abschließen können. Punkt. Jahrzehntelang hat sie alles selbst geregelt. Heute scheitert sie an einem Muster auf Papier. Wann haben wir eigentlich entschieden, dass Grundversorgung nur noch für die gilt, die ein Smartphone bedienen können?

Not everything has to be looked at through the lens of discrimination. Conservatives managed to choose our first woman leader 51 years ago. Meanwhile Labour are celebrating Andy Burnham as their first female Prime Minister. Claire has been promoted because she is excellent and Conservatives believe in meritocracy. If Harriet is worried about discrimination, there is plenty in her own party to keep her busy. Boris Johnson promoted me to the Treasury while I was on maternity leave in 2020. Nobody did a podcast episode on it because we didn’t think it was remarkable. He just knew I could do the job. Women do not need patronising theories to explain their success. That is the point.

Time was, @ClaireCoutinho, that women had to conceal pregnancy, fearing the sack. We fought against maternity discrimination so that women could be promoted on merit not sacked for pregnancy. I’m glad you’ve escaped mat discrimination. But it’s still a problem. How about siding

It’s halftime and I need to use the restroom…🚺 Rules are rules @WNBA 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA! 🇺🇸

💥NEW: Hall of Fame Linebacker Brian Urlacher *LAYS INTO* male athletes who won't say men shouldn't play women's sports💥 "They should just MAN UP and say it! ... especially if you have DAUGHTERS, you have girls who are gonna play sports! It would be really hard for me not to stand up and say what I believe in." These athletes would never let their own daughters compete against males — yet they refuse to say it publicly. Their silence speaks volumes.

Now, listen to me very carefully! So far, I’ve spoken with: 2 Former NBA players 3 G-League players 3 European players They have all said that if the @WNBA doesn’t change the rules, they’re ready to join the movement and are considering coming out as women and putting their names in the 2027 #WNBA Draft. Hear me out; The @NBA G- League pays players $45,000 a year, while the #WNBA top players earn $1.4 Million. Those “men” could earn an extra $1,355,000 a year by just identifying as women. Rules are rules. #LetFreedomPlay

If we're denying transgender status based on "bad faith / good faith" distinctions, I think a healthy place to apply that is with women's prisons and women's shelters

The @WNBA says a woman is anyone who claims to be one. So if I say I’m a woman, you have to accept it. Those are the rules the #WNBA created. Why does anyone get to decide whose journey is real and whose isn’t? Who gets to judge? Rules Are Rules! #LetFreedomPlay

Not too long ago, stating that biological sex was real was a career-ending act of bravery. Kathleen Stock was hounded out of her university job. Maya Forstater had to take her former employer to a landmark tribunal. Kemi Badenoch and Rosie Duffield were told they were on the wrong side of history. Our public bodies, charities, political figures, and sections of the media all lined up to condemn these women as bigots. That establishment was wrong. The Supreme Court settled it beyond doubt: when the Equality Act says woman, it means a biological woman. Every woman who was targeted for saying that sex means biological sex has since been vindicated. An apology is owed to each and every one of them, although I won’t hold my breath. The EHRC's Code of Practice, which took effect this week, provides clear guidance to organisations on how single-sex spaces and services, like changing rooms, should operate on the basis of biological sex. This is hugely welcome, particularly for the countless women and girls who have been denied their legal rights for so long. It is a tribute to the tireless campaigners who fought for years to get here, despite the Labour Government’s delays and attempts to water it down. However, we should be clear that the Code does not change the law. All the Code does is provide guidance on how to follow the law. Those who try to block the Code will not block the law that sits behind it. The Green, Lib Dem and Labour MPs who are pretending otherwise should know better. Yet more than a year after the Supreme Court ruling, compliance is still falling short and there has been no accountability for the many institutions who have put women at risk of harm because they misunderstood the law. Take the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Even after the ruling, they continued disciplinary investigations against the Darlington Nurses, who did nothing more than ask for single-sex changing rooms. They have not issued an apology for getting things so badly wrong. Then there's NHS England, which has still not updated guidance that allows men to be placed on female hospital wards simply because they identify as women. That policy is unlawful, yet it remains in force today - putting the safety, privacy and dignity of female patients at risk. Things are no better in the prison system, where violent male inmates are still being housed in women’s prisons, where they share communal spaces with vulnerable women. It has been a legal requirement to house male and female prisoners separately since 1823, but apparently that doesn’t apply if the man says he is a woman. For too long our public institutions treated radical gender ideology as if it were gospel and treated women's rights as something to be tossed aside in the face of this new religion. The Code of Practice is an important tool in reversing the spread of that ideology, but alone it is not enough. Bridget Phillipson needs to get a grip and hold government bodies to account if they refuse to uphold the law. Our institutions must establish why they were so vulnerable to being misled and how they will prevent the next faddish ideology that comes along from taking root. We need institutions that we can trust, not ones that are so quick to abandon common sense and the law. That is the least that women and the wider public deserve.

As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft. I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman! My wig is in the mail.
