1/ I follow (and am followed by) people from across the political spectrum. We share a commitment to reversing the extremist agenda of the LGBT trans lobby; preserving women's sex-based rights & protecting children & vulnerable young people from puberty blockers & sterilisation.
2/ Those that don’t know me are surprised at my relief at a Biden / Harris win. You shouldn’t be. I’m a Democrat. And democracy was teetering on the brink. Am I fan of Biden? No, not especially. Don’t I know that both Biden & Harris have drunk the TWAW Kool-Aid? I do.
3/ Although I wished for a Biden / Harris victory, I feared it. I’m not alone. The Equality Act / HR5 is stalled in the Republican controlled senate. That’s a relief. If passed by a Dem controlled senate it will erase women’s sex based rights. Notions of gender will replace sex.
4/ What HR5 will mean to a Dem party that has brought into the lie that males can self-id as women, without harming the legal protections of women, is awful to contemplate: male offenders able to elect to be locked up with women; the end of women’s sports & scholarships ...
5/ the end of safe spaces in refuges & shelters, in hospital wards & psychiatric units; the end of women only political shortlists; the end of women organising together without males; the removal of sex based safeguards & protections from males ...
6/ ... the further explosion in the sex change industry, targeting vulnerable young people, overwhelmingly young girls & women, who are same-sex attracted; the end of women as a lived, political entity & biological reality. This isn’t hyperbole, it’s happening.
7/ The plan to replace sex with gender in HR5, the Equality Act, should scare the living daylights out of all sensible people, LGB, trans & straight. Discrimination protection for trans people must not come at the cost of erasing women. It’s not an LGBT ‘inclusion’ issue.
8/ The LGBT lobbying juggernaut that has brought us to this other precipice must be stopped. I believe that this can still happen within a healthy democracy. It’s now my job, our job, to stand in solidarity with all decent people to demand that the Equality Act is amended.
9/ Biden / Harris are politicians. The Georgia senate runoffs in January could become the battleground to protect women’s sex based rights. What @KamalaHarris & @JoeBiden say & do now could lose them the senate. I hope that we can make them see sense. #AmendTheEqualityAct

1/ A Thread: ‘Come Together’, 1970-73, edited by Aubrey Walter, 1980, Verso Books.

Thank you to @RozKaveney for encouraging me down this path. Roz called me & the @ALLIANCELGB ’scabs’. I objected. She doubled down.
2/ Roz said that LGBA ”opposes some of the most basic demands“ of the Gay Liberation Front, founded in 1970, specifically the participation of trans people.

’Come Together‘ provides a snapshot of that early history.

It was supposed to be evidence that LGBA are traitors.
3/ ’Coming Together’ shows that LGBA is entirely true to the history of the GLF movement. To say the movement’s history included contributions from trans people is correct; to say that trans people were central to or a focus of the GLF, is not.

1/ I have to confess that when I heard that male sex offenders were being housed with female prisoners, I thought it was a joke — it isn’t. Then I thought, it must be a mistake — it isn’t.

Male prisoners are being put in with women for their comfort — no one thought about women
2/ I thought that the law had taken a wrong turn, that if we looked at how the state had considered the rights, safety & dignity of women we could correct the wrong turn & correct this obvious & egregious error.

But there was no error: women were simply not considered.
3/ As Professor Michael Biggs’ paper illustrates (embedded in thread ) trans activists were able to convince lawyers & judges to *completely* ignore the rights, safety & dignity of women in ruling that the comfort of trans identified males took priority over imprisoned females.

1/ @Guardian acknowledge that @SafeSchools_UK &
@Transgendertrd are the gold standard in teaching children about transgender issues.

Those LGBT+ orgs that offered nothing but ideology & cod science have no place in the classroom & nowhere to hide.

theguardian.com/education/2020…
2/ ‘Schools have been discouraged from working with organisations that produce materials suggesting “non-conformity to gender stereotypes should be seen as synonymous with having a different gender identity”’.

Reverse ferret all you like — we have the receipts.
3/ Strip away the sexist stereotypes & 1950s gender roles & the emperor is stark bloody naked.

We knew it but now it’s official.

1/ @VictoriaPeckham thank you for this. If childhood still means anything at all, we cannot allow the gender ideology led LGBT+ movement to dismantle the boundaries between adults and children in the way that it is doing.
2/ We know that gender ideology was born from Queer Theory, which from its inception sought to minimise & dismiss the horror of child sexual abuse. Its greatest proponents argued in favour of the possibility of consensual adult-child sexual relationships & still do.
3/ It has nothing to do with being LGB or T. Child sex offenders come in every shape & size & most are heterosexual men. However, Gay Rights have been repeatedly targeted by paedophiles & each & every time it has been lesbians & women who have beat them back & we will again.

1/ I’ve found that if you scratch the surface of organisations keen to label 12 year old children LGB or T what you invariably find is that what they are most interested in & excited about is labelling 12 year old children trans.
2/ Why have we allowed the LGBT label to act as cover for organisations to advance a child trans narrative?

Few of these organisations appear concerned about advocating for girls who may be same-sex attracted, lesbian, unless it is to tell them that they are really boys.
3/ The conflation of sex & gender is worrying when it concerns adults but it’s hugely irresponsible & dangerous when it concerns children.

A 12 year old that is affirmed as gay is not the same as a 12 year old affirmed as trans.

1/ This has been one of the most depressing 24 hours I’ve ever had on Gender Critical Twitter.

To be clear: every woman & girl must know that their sex-based rights will disappear if they do not pay attention & join this struggle.
2/ This is so regardless of their skin colour, age, economic status, politics, education etc. Whether they are non-racist, racist, homosexual or homophobic.

That doesn’t mean I condone racist or homophobic behaviour, I abhor it.
3/ That doesn’t mean I have to ally myself with racists or homophobes or that I will not call out such behaviour, just that I recognise that all women need to know that the struggle for women’s rights is their struggle too.
