Don’t forget how the anti abortionists respond to a woman dying, her children left without a mother. Believe them when they show you who they are.

Addressing the definition of ‘legal sex’:

"It creates significant inconsistencies, which impair the proper functioning of the Equality Act and jeopardise the rights and interests of women and same-sex attracted people."

A victim-survivor she is asking Brighton' #RapeCrisis service to provide single-sex support services.

Women in Brighton are self-excluding from life-saving service. This has to change.

brightonsisters.wordpress.com/we-stand-wit...

Women victim-survivors from all walks of life, tell us again & again that single-sex provision of services (generic services & specialist domestic abuse/rape crisis) are vital.

How UK's highest court is about to decide what a 'woman' is A long-running row over how to define a women is set to come to a head at the UK Supreme Court

On Tuesday, the UK Supreme Court will consider the definition of a woman. My preview of this groundbreaking case in the Scotsman www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Symetrical artwork featuring a stylised central white female figure wearing an ornate headdress or crown and long robe or cloak in gold and with details of lines and small red hearts on the borders, in front of her chin is a red rose motif and to each side of her head is a small white childish face, all on a dark blue background bordered by a dashed line

Queen of Hearts,1909 by Margaret Macdonald, one of the defining artists of the Glasgow School

What complete nonsense.
We don't pick & choose which females we share females public toilets with.
But the female ones include all females.
Across the political spectrum.
And exclude all males.
We don't police entry based on political allegiance.

Wilful blindness is a blight on organisations From Children in Need to the Tavistock Gids clinic, those who expose malfeasance are rarely thanked and often removed

Blessed are the whistleblowers. From Children in Need to the Church it takes moral courage to speak out. My @thetimes.com column.

Women uncomfortable telling work the truth about sick days - for three reasons New research has revealed the reasons why women are unlikely to tell their boss the real reason they are calling in sick

Enslaved on OnlyFans: Women describe lives of isolation and torture OnlyFans gives women the chance to earn money by making porn. Sex traffickers also use the platform to abuse and exploit them, say police and prosecutors.

“The accused range from social media influencers to cash-hungry boyfriends. “I don’t think I’ll ever be fully healed,” said one victim.”

No, 25th November is NOT ‘White Ribbon Day’. It is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women #IDEVAW

This from @kareningalasmith.bsky.social is very compelling on why this matters.
