I've been absolutely LOVING seeing the children's artwork for #TheIckabog, so I was sorry to see this tweet, which misrepresents the terms of @Scholastic's illustration competition (it's important to realise that different terms and conditions apply in different countries). 1/3 Image
A *non-exclusive* license simply allows the use of the entries of your children’s artwork on social media, in articles and other materials around the contest. @Scholastic won’t use them for anything else. 2/3
Without this non-exclusive license, I wouldn't be allowed to share pictures on social media or respond to the artists. Only WINNERS will be asked to transfer copyright and they will of course receive receive prizes in addition to inclusion in the book. Hope this helps! 3/3
I don't know why there's an extra receive in that sentence. Sometimes my brain and my fingers go different ways.

.@wesstreeting, the UK's new Health Secretary, has indicated that he plans to make the temporary ban on puberty blockers permanent. This has made the usual suspects very angry. Streeting, they say, will have 'blood on his hands.' He will 'kill trans kids.' 1/10
The usual lies are being trotted out by trans activists. 'Puberty blockers have been used for years and are proven to be entirely safe!'
But this is untrue. 'Thousands of women claim Lupron ruined their lives or left them crippled.' 2/10

Whistleblowers have been speaking out for years: '[Gender clinics are] risking a “live experiment” by sending hundreds for life-changing medical intervention without sufficient evidence of its long-term effects, experts have warned.' 3/10

There has been an utterly damning judgement in the case of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre versus their ex-employee Roz Adams, who was subject to what the judgement calls a ‘heresy hunt’ for her gender critical beliefs. ERCC’s investigation of Roz is described as Kafkaesque. 1/10 Image
This statement by Roz gives an insight into who she is as a person. Roz’s top priority has always been the survivors of rape and sexual assault ERRC was supposed to serve. Aside from being a highly qualified support worker, Roz is a person of bravery, integrity and compassion. 2/ Image
Why was Roz subject to disciplinary action and discrimination in the workplace? Because she wanted to ensure that rape and sexual assault victims knew whether the person supporting them would be a man or a woman, in order to give informed consent before commencing counselling.  3/

.@KirstieMAllsopp I'm astounded by this comment. One of the gender ideologues' favourite slogans is 'no debate'. Opponents have been attacked, vilified, subject to discipline at work, had their lives overturned and lost their careers, all for the crime of wanting a debate. 1/13
Sonia Appleby, an experienced psychotherapist working at the now discredited Tavistock clinic, was monstered for raising concerns. A tribunal found that her professional reputation had been damaged and 'prevented her from proper work on safeguarding'. 2/13

Sue Evans, a nurse who also worked at the Tavistock and was extremely worried that children were being harmed, tried to raise the alarm. She took concerns to management but was 'alienated' and subsequently left for the sake of her own mental health. 3/13crowdjustice.com/case/protect-c…

Over the last four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that's ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down. 1/6
These are people who've deemed opponents 'far-right' for wanting to know there are proper checks and balances in place before autistic, gay and abused kids - groups that are all overrepresented at gender clinics - are left sterilised, inorgasmic, lifelong patients. 2/6
I understand that the review's conclusions will have come as a seismic shock to those who've hounded and demonised whistleblowers and smeared opponents as bigots and transphobes, but trying to discredit Hilary Cass's work isn't merely misguided. It's actively malign. 3/6

Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11

Lovely Scottish lass and convicted double rapist Isla Bryson found her true authentic female self shortly before she was due to be sentenced. Misgendering is hate, so respect Isla’s pronouns, please. Love the leggings! 2/11 Image
Fragile flower Katie Dolatowski, 6'5", was rightly sent to a women's prison in Scotland after conviction. This ensured she was protected from violent, predatory men (unlike the 10-year-old girl Katie sexually assaulted in a women's public bathroom.) 3/11 Image

Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India's obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment. 1/5
I ignored this advice because I couldn't be bothered giving India the publicity he so clearly craves. Nevertheless, we must all do our bit to combat hate, so India will be glad to know I've taken note of his homophobia, racism, and humane stance on immigration. 2/5

Nor have I forgotten India's shocking transphobia. It appears to have slipped what passes for India's mind that he's previously called a fellow trans woman a man on this very site. 3/5 Image
