This tweet by Sinead is in response to being criticised for using the R word to describe intellectually disabled people and to mock others.

Suddenly, her Twitter is "informal" and "personal," and yet her bio is just the information of the two professional orgs she advises. Image
This is the thing with "gender critical" people. They want to simultaneously be taken seriously, but also not face any consequences for any sort of abuse they are guilty of doling out.
Clearly, Sinead is proud to represent @genspect online with her Twitter account.

They've had nearly two days to comment. They haven't.
Until they do, I can only conclude that @genspect endorse Sinead as their advisor, and her use of the R word to describe intellectually disabled people, which would include kids they say they care for.

CW: violent transphobic threat

Graham Linehan's YouTube co-host got drunk and told the truth on Twitter.

A lot of Rad Fems want trans people to die.("AGP" is what Arty calls most trans women, and it's a way of slurring trans women as perverts who transition for sexual reasons.) Tweet by Arty Morty saying ...
Imagine being Graham Linehan's co-host and having the gall to write the last sentence here.

They provide these people with an hour-long weekly hate, and now he's getting squeamish about the hatred they create? Tweet by Arty Morty saying ...
You know that in the wee drunken hours a lot of "gender critical" people grapple with the fact that they might actually be in a hate movement, but are faced with the sunk cost fallacy.

He realises that he cannot criticise the "angry assholes" because they will turn on him. Tweet by Arty Morty saying ...

Here are two snips of articles about Nicole Maines, and the questions she asked at 3 years old. She's now a 20-something trans woman.

And then, here is @DrJessTaylor tweeting that hating your genitalia at three years old is an indication that you've been sexually abused! ImageImageImage
"Safeguard immediately" means that in her professional opinion, once Nicole asked about when her penis was going to fall off, she should have been removed from the home, and adults in contact with her - her parents - should be investigated for sexual abuse.
This is, in my opinion, a huge issue with professionals in contact with children who are "gender critical" in the workplace. They would immediately choose to devastate Nicole's family and Nicole because they would not firstly consider that she may be trans?!

Hi @fotoole, if Irish "gender critical" people are having friendly interviews on the Youtube channels of organisations like New Zealand's Family First and Ireland's GRIPT, would you revise your opinion that being a "TERF" is a "valid" response to patriarchy and misogyny?
If these people are working in concert with the online outlets of traditional Religious Right patriarchal organs - who still stand opposed to marriage equality and women's rights - how can what they are doing be a response to the patriarchy?

Surely, it *is* the patriarchy?
You said in your article defending your collegaue Roisin Ingle, after she shared an article by Suzanne Moore: "And we must not lose sight of the common enemy – the patriarchy that teaches us all to despise our bodies and distort our selves."

Aren't you doing just that?

How precious are detransitioners to the gender critical movement?

This week I pointed out that @ImWatson91 uses the R word to described intellectually disabled people, and to mock those who aren't disabled. She essentially told me to get fucked and she was lovebombed for it. 1/
I pointed this out to @BareReality, who initially brought Sinead to prominence in a Sunday Times article. Even though she's previously shown support for disabled people, her initial response was to say, "I have him muted, lovely." When other people started to point it out... 2/
...she tweeted to Sinead that she was going to block me and all the other people bringing it up. She did.

Sinead also advises @genspect. I don't think they should be taking advice from someone who would call ID kids in their care the R word. 3/

Hi gender critical people, in case you don't know, accusing trans or gay people of being pedophiles or "nonces" because they exist, or because they are supporting their own (or others) LGBT+ rights, are transphobic and homophobic hate crimes in the UK.
I get that your GC leaders have been screaming "perverts!" for years, but they do that (mostly) without mentioning specific names.

However, when you directly accuse someone of being a nonce or pedophile (or enabling pedophilia), that's a hate crime.

If you were the person(s) who screamed "nonce!" at Jen, and she were to decide to report this incident to the police, it wouldn't be your GC leaders having to face the consequences. They'd be entirely happy for you to be a martyr for their cause.

Also, what are you doing?

Hi @soppystern, @jackappleby and @artymortyarty.

You might want to have a conversation and decide which version of gay rights history best suits your anti-trans propaganda.

Was it "brash," or was it "almost always civil and polite?"

Can't be both lads.

Happy to help. ImageImage
I don't know what was happening where you were, but over here some of the opposition to Relgious campaigners against gay and women's rights were stoving in the windows of the Youth Defence offices on a regular basis, while others were engaging in dialogue. Image
Perhaps, it was *both* then and now, it is also both?

What gay rights advocates never did was sit down and try to convince the Religious Right they were wrong. The RR still believe the same things they did 10 years ago. They had conversations with people who weren't bigots.
