The fight for women's rights is #unfinishedbusiness.

@britishlibrary thinks the next step is telling girls prostitution is a good career🙄

I wonder if they've noticed the feminist fightback for the definition of women & against commodification

Lets make a virtual exhibition!
An introduction from @helenlewis "A feminism unafraid to talk about the female body. A rejection of the extremes of identity politics. And – just as radically – a movement that happens in the real world rather than purely online. "newstatesman.com/politics/femin…

The vicious response to women speaking up

If you are a historian of feminism curating an exhibition an exhibition on the fight for women's rights and you miss all this, what is it you are doing?

Will this be a lovely exhibition about deckchairs on the Titanic?

Some thoughts on reading the judgment turning down Ryan Castellucci's bid for non binary recognition Image

Judges have the habit of suspending their judgement in these cases and writing down ridiculous things.

Cut his hair to pass as a man? 🙄🤪

Men with long hair are men. Image
He was diagnosed by Vickie Pasterski.

This associate of Helen Webberley turns up in cases a lot.

A lot of newspapers are showing photos of Dr Upton and Nurse Peggie side by side.

It is worth remembering that Upton is 6ft tall and Peggie is 5 ft 6. This is what that looks like to scale. Image
Not like this... Image

“Nevermind the quality, feel the width” !? 🥴

This @thetimes splash
about Sandy Peggie’s sex discrimination case is wrong in so many ways.

Starting with the photo - why do they make Sandie appear to tower over ft Dr Upton? Image
“gender sits at the heart of a dispute that has pushed an ET in Scotland into the front line of the global culture wars.”

Women’s right to be protected against sexual harassment at work, and to be provided with adequate sanitary facilities is not a “culture war”.Image
Para 4 “A nurse, Sandie Peggie… arrived in the women’s changing rooms of the A&E Dept. In the changing room was Dr Beth Upton... Words were spoken.”

What was it about Dr Upton that led Sandie Peggie to object? 🤔 Image

Prof Whittle appears to be arguing individuals shouldn't be able to held liable for sexual harassment if their inappropriate behaviour was sanctioned by their employer.

* This is not what the Equality Act says.
Prof Whittle's bad takes - calling a man a man can be a crime Image

I gave evidence in the Sandie Peggie case because the hospital board & male Dr refused to accept as findings of fact that that men are more likely to commit violent & sexual crimes, that men are more dangerous to women, so women are more heavily impacted by men in their spaces than vice versa.
You can read my witness statement here.

These are the facts it attests to.

You don't need a degree of any sort to understand these facts.

I also gave evidence on the fact that some men who identify as "transwomen" are manifesting a specific paraphilia (sexual fetish). Image

I've written to @stonewalluk CEO Simon Blake applauding his leadership in discarding Stonewall's previous extreme and divisive definition of "transphobia". Image
And explaining the damage that it did. Image
It's not good enough to quietly back away from it after doubling down for so long Image
