Let's meet Manchester @stonewalluk Account Manager Aimee Linfield. Is it appropriate for someone in a role like his, advising/training public/private sector eg. @NHSuk to view & describe women in terms like "objectification fetish" "f*ck dolly" "possession" "puppy girls"?
1/7
Aimee's public online profile is full of explicit photographs & sadistic stories objectifying girls & women dating back to at least 2011. Yet as per his @LinkedInUK profile he's since worked as - no joke - a teaching assistant.Did he use his male name to get through @DBSgovuk?

This wasn't his only role in a school. Yet at the same time, his fetish blog was online featuring sexually sadistic stories about girls, like this. (WARNING: GRAPHIC): kittyfallon.wordpress.com
His CV also includes writing for @MetroUK about male inclusion in female sport & 7 years employed at @LGBTfdn @prideinpractice speaking/training & writing policy guides eg @RoySocMed @LivUni. How many organisations now allow males into female spaces on the advice of this man?

Whatever happened to safeguarding? Do @stonewalluk @LGBTfdn do any due diligence on the people they employ? A simple Google search exposes this explicit online history with multiple aliases (Aimee Linfield, Kitty Fallon, Super Steam Kitty, Aimee Piper, Aimee Evelyn..) in minutes.
How can @ManCityCouncil @greatermcr @GMMH_NHS @OfficialUoM @ManMetUni & others pay money to @stonewalluk when they are sending men like this to lecture women about "inclusion" of males in female spaces?

Do the women of Manchester realise that their City Council has redefined ‘woman’ to include men, meaning it might well be acting unlawfully and discriminating against women? We need YOUR help to challenge this and to help protect female-only spaces #ManCouncilFailingWomen 🧵…1/
In Feb 2022 @ManCityCouncil decided that ‘Trans women are women’. This means that ANY man who simply says he is a woman is - in the eyes of the Council - a woman. Many were taken by surprise by this decision...2/
The motion was passed without consultation with the public or its service users. Not one councillor asked about the potential impact on women's single sex services. We think this is a major problem. Along with @LabWomenDec we sought advice from top KC @akuareindorf who agrees..3/
.@WomensRightsNet out letting yesterday @JohnLewisRetail customers at Cheadle & the Trafford Centre know that due to their 'inclusion' policy they refuse to maintain single sex changing rooms for women & girls 1/
Lots of positive conversations, including a group of young women who said they felt afraid to speak out 2/
A mental health worker said we will look back on this time and wonder what were we thinking of 3/
Women from WRN Gtr Manchester attended the Communities & Equalities Scrutiny Committee Mtg on 6.02.24. One of our members spoke.
Watch the short video to hear what she said & the Cllr’s responses.
Watch to the end.

How can @ManCityCouncil say they provide services & protections for Manchester women when they include transwomen in their definition of women? Transwomen are biological males who identify as women.

How can @ManCityCouncil meet its legal Public Sector Equality Duty to balance the needs of all 9 Protected Characteristics if it prioritises some characteristics, ie Gender Reassignment above others e.g. Sex?

What a fantastic time our runners and volunteers had at @bramhallparkrun
It seems @parkrunuk is increasingly aware of the women’s right network as stewards said that they expected our presence. They kindly asked that we stayed aside during safety briefing. 1
During the briefing the l steward introduced us and we waved as onlookers and runners smiled at us.
Our runners set off with signs on their back to raise awareness during the race, it was rewarding as thumbs up were given. 2
Many friendly conversations with stewards, members of the public, family and friends were had whilst waiting until the runners finished.
As runners finished volunteers handed out leaflets to willing recipients, all very keen to understand why we were here. 3
