1. Which woman first brought this issue to your attention? For me, it was Mrs. Barber, circa 2012, who asked me to read a piece by @boodleoops about the material reality and importance of sex, and a piece by @Whoiscis about the homophobia inherent in erasing sex.
2. Who made campaigning for sex-based rights an actual movement? A decade ago and more, veteran campaigners like @bindelj, academics like @Docstockk and media newcomers like @MeghanEMurphy, and a host of others were already holding meetings to discuss women's sex-based rights.
3. For years, women have been writing books addressing the manifold issues caused by Gender Identity Theology, such as @HJoyceGender (Trans), @Docstockk (Material Girls), @AbigailShrier (Irreversible Damage), @RooneyRachel (My Body Is Me), @KDansky (The Abolition of Sex...
What is happening in Spain? In 2019, PSOE and Podemos formed a coalition government. PSOE is like the Labour party, while Podemos is a party that was born out of the 15M movement (Occupy). Together they were "the most progressive government in history", or so they claimed...

Podemos came to power thanks to the left-wing and feminist vote. And what happened? The equality minister, @IreneMontero, decided to focus on identity politics, in particular her Trans Law, allowing self-ID, the transition of minors, and establishing heavy fines for "transphobia"
@IreneMontero also brought out the antipunitivist Solo Sí es Sí law ("Only yes means yes"). What's the consequence of such law? So far, 1,179 reduced convictions for sexual offenders and 108 rapists released from prison.

Women in Japan are protesting an LGBT bill that would codify "gender identity" into law, barring "unfair discrimination" without defining either term.
Representatives from the US and Australia have placed pressure on Japan to adopt the bill.

Not a violent action just a disgusting one. Gender extremists have AGAIN covered the @EHRC building in piss as a form of protest. They want men to be allowed into women's toilets
Here we have some examples of the things gender extremists openly say and get away with. Remember replace the word TERF with woman to understand what they really mean.

We were left so there was a large ratio of men TRAs : Women stewards as you can see from other lone stewards trying to get more groups of TRAs to get back.
Moments later the police still hadn’t formed a line between us and were just chilling at the sidelines whilst LWS attendees linked arms and stewards still had to use our bodies to prevent these men encroaching.
This is my bodycam perspective of another vid seen.

It was a real honour & privilege being a steward at a LWS event for the first time in the city that's been my home for the past 5 yrs. I took a few vids of the event, and I've posted them and a few comments below. 1/x #LetWomenSpeak #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham
Myself & another steward arrived late. As we were about to enter the fray, we caught sight of a police officer phoning for back up. The other steward explained who she was to the officer, & he told us that the police had only arranged for 3 officers to be present at the event 2/x
We asked if more would arrive given the animosity of the TRAs. He said the difficulty in getting more officers on the ground, was that he didn't want his bobbies being targets.
Originally the stewards held the line closer to the library. 3/x

Reading vile tweets about my 12yr old daughter has been difficult. It's why I asked my daughter to not speak at #LetWomenSpeak but she was determined to speak about her own experiences. She's really happy she's done it but the vitriol Jonathan has incited is upsetting.
*Why let her speaK?'
I got there late so I could assess the situation. It was safe thanks to the heavy police/stewards. My daughter was determined and said, 'This will affect girls more and more so why not me?' I wont take her voice just so bullies dont say mean things online.

I won't do what every institute is doing to her because Jonathan gets upset.
I won't silence her because unhappy men say mean things.
Can I take all risk away? No! But that risk is already in her bathrooms and changing room.
Our daughters are saying NO. Listen!

...anyway. @metpoliceuk please take a look at the attached video. This is one of the activists I would anticipate will show up as part of another angry misogynist mob this Sunday, 30th April, Hyde Park reformers tree, trying to stop #LetWomenSpeak. 3/x
This afternoon, I took part in a #LetWomenSpeak -event, initiated by @Playinstreet (suspended from Twitter for saying that a trans woman is a man), in front of the old women’s prison in Oslo: «Bredvet». Women were speaking to show that we care about the inmates and to say >>> 1/
>>> to the 🇳🇴 authorities that the sanitary conditions in that prison are unacceptable, that the lack of qualified staff and lack of courses to manage life is horrible and that it’s not acceptable that at least one biological man shares their shower and toilet. >>> 2/
>>The biological men that committed sexual offences as men, changed legal gendered > “became women” before going to jail… at least one of them serves time among the women at Bredtvet
When the inmates shouted THANK YOU and applauded through the barred windows, I almost cried. 3/

Today I see people once again criticising who is allowed to speak at #LetWomenSpeak. This is not about whether you agree with what KJK says, where she speaks or whether she’s too confrontational etc etc. this is fundamentally about the very premise of #LetWomanSpeak 1/
As I understand it the purpose is to give a voice to any woman to talk about her experience of or opinions on - women’s rights and the impact of gender identity movement. Is this correct? Because that means - any woman 2/
Regardless of her other politics or views. That could mean leftist women, racist women, antisemites, pro life women, communist women, radical feminist women, nationalists. Brexiteers, remainers, anti vax, pro lockdown (even now 👀), anti lockdown - you get my point? 3/

iscaninfo.com/article/948997… This is shocking.........thread.........University ‘blocks’ academic from her own gender wars research over ‘dangerous’ data.
A university has “confiscated” the findings of an academic studying Britain’s gender wars in a row over her “dangerous” research data, The Telegraph can reveal. Dr Laura Favaro began the first ever taxpayer-funded study into whether social scientists at universities feel censored
over their views on transgender issues in March 2020 at City, University of London. But it has descended into chaos, with the study’s author allegedly hounded out of the university, stripped of the findings she collected and barred from publishing them amid claims of transphobia.
A great indicator of the moral or ethical veracity of an idea or movement is in how it deals with those who disagree. 🧵
Classic Liberalism cherishes diversity of thought. Differing voices are important in order to do the hard work of building a common world in which we can live together amidst our real and important differences. It values rationalism, reason and science. It seeks to uplift.
It is democratic and loving. Diversity of thought is Classic Liberalism's strength. Protest is peaceful, non violence is absolutely necessary, because true and lasting success lay in strength of ideas and in the power of words to effect change in order to improve the world.
Here is a thread of the groups who say they support women but who will actually be standing with agressive men as they scream at women trying to talk about their rights.

THREAD: Lesbians and feminists on drag queens in the 70s
Women have been trying to speak out against offensive drag queen caricatures for a long time!
Ireland. Dublin. 2023. Women are unable to meet because such a strong Garda presence is required. Women want to speak about women’s rights, about the importance for women of single-sex spaces, sports and prisons, about the impact of gender identity on their lives. #LetWomenSpeak
I was going to attend this event. Anyone attending had to muster courage. The lies being told about Kellie Jay Keen resulted in the justification of extreme violence at an event in #Auckland New Zealand last week. Police said KJK was lucky to get away from the event alive. 2/8
One woman in her 70s who attended the Auckland event was head-butted and punched in the head - it was found later that she had, as a result, a fractured skull. Another woman had her foot broken. Stomp Terfs had been one of the slogans. 3/8
Beunruhigende Eskalation der Gewalt im Trans-Aktivismus: Vergangene Woche wurde die britische genderkritische Campaignerin Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull bei einer Veranstaltung in Neuseeland von einem Mob fast zu Tode getrampelt. 🧵 1/12
Sie wurde angeschrien, angespuckt, mit Eiern beworfen, Tomatensuppe übergoßen. Ihre Veranstaltungsreihe heißt #LetWomenSpeak. Angegriffen wurde sie von einer aufgewiegelten, aggressiven, misogynen, selbstgerechten Menge, die es nicht erträgt, wenn Frauen öffentlich sprechen. 2/12
Passiert nicht in Afghanistan, nicht im Iran, nicht in Saudi Arabien. In NZ. Auch das ist bei der Veranstaltung in Neuseeland passiert: Zwischen Regenbogenfahnen und Diversitätstranspis schlägt ein wahrer Held mit der Faust eine ältere Frau nieder. Extrembeispiele? 3/12

We are women:
As women, we’ve been taught to mind our language, lower our voices, be kind.
I remember being 10 years old and a grown man slapping my behind.
I lowered my eyes & swallowed my fear, hoping if I was quiet, he would just disappear.

Our best bet is to keep on exposing people to their actual behaviour. Make it the story everywhere, so the media can't ignore it. And the guy is absolutely right. They cannot and will not debate, the police support THEM over those they are preventing from speaking.
Naturally, they who are incapable of having the adult discussions with others that we need, and behave like actual zombiefied fascists while calling him a fascist. "I've been a Marxist all my life, mate." #SpeakersCorner #HumanRights #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #LetWomenSpeak
The guy, by the way, is called Dr. Heiko Khoo. He absolutely is a Marxist. I don't agree with him at all on anti-vaxxing (just so you know, as he may be a bit controversial for some) but for these children to claim he is a fascist is beyond absurd.
