A perfect half marathon (thanks for that nugget @SwearyGodmother) this fine #ManFriday publicising the @cityoflondon public consultation on gender identity and single-sex services.
@edwardlord you’re welcome. See you out there next time?

Things which are not #transphobic, despite TRAs shouting otherwise:
- safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- homosexuality
- heterosexuality
- women’s rights
- science
- evidence-based healthcare
- asking questions
- women saying ‘no’ to men

Sex, race, religion, sexual orientation: all are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Gender identity is not. Gender reassignment is not the winning card in a game of top trumps. Every protected characteristic must be considered when changing policy or law.
Women, men, genuine sufferers of gender dysphoria: Your rights, safety, privacy and dignity and those of your children and elderly parents are under threat by a bunch of self-entitled men yelling ‘transphobe’ at you. You are allowed to say no.
I was troubled at @EmilyThornberry’s remark at a recent @Fabians event that ‘women have space to budge up for transwomen in our spaces’ in response to my question about @UKLabour allowing self-ID women on their AWS. It came after a great speech in which Thornberry (1)
spoke at length about the male domination of politics and female MPs fighting to be both seen and heard against a tidal wave of abuse. I was amazed that she contradicted herself like that. Women don’t have room to ‘budge up’. (2)
Women are under-represented across leadership positions in politics, business, public and social life. That’s WHY we have programs to attract and advance women. That’s WHY we have women-only spaces. Men must do the budging and make the space, not women. (3)

To the doxxers of #ManFriday... When you go on holiday, may you always get food poisoning, delayed flights, the seat next to the toddler and lost baggage.
May you always have the back of your skirt tucked into your knickers, with used loo roll hanging out.
May your hair grow really quickly, so you have to spend a fortune retouching your highlights.
@ManFRIDAY_ Twitter leak statement: a screenshot from the #ManFriday group was published on Twitter today as 'proof' that the group is 'transphobic'. The screenshot showed nothing transphobic but has led us to take security measures to protect our members' privacy. (1)
I am furious that someone has taken it upon themselves to sneak into a group of women to report back on their activities. The supposed 'evidence' is really scraping the barrel and publishing it is clearly yet another attempt to silence women speaking about their own rights. (2)
#ManFriday was set up to illustrate the absurdities and injustices of sex self-ID policies. We will continue to do so in good humour and will the rights, safety, privacy and dignity of women and girls at the heart of everything we do. (3)
I'm back from 2 weeks behind the Great Firewall. Two weeks with my family have been wonderful. Now it's time to head back into the discussion around gender self-ID. For anyone wondering what my thinking is on this and why I started @ManFRIDAY_, here goes:
1) All people should be free to express their personality in the way they style their appearance without suffering from mockery, bullying or undue discrimination.
2) The word 'woman' means 'female adult human'. Women suffer from discrimination based not their sex: their true or perceived ability to bear children. This sometimes, but not always, stems from gender stereotypes associated with their sex.
