When you see how polite @ThePosieParker and @OnChairs were to the awful Tim McBride, the outrage at the time from the likes of @Docstockk and @bindelj is patently fabricated. Now their memory is distorted and *they* are the victims not the bullies.

"Asking Tim McBride why HRC hates women."

Refresh your memories.

This is what "set back feminism"? Really?

Where does anyone say to McBride, "You're a man!"?

🧵 I have never been aware before of May 8th being the anniversary of VE Day.

Until now, for the last 17 years, it has only been the anniversary of my Mickey's death in 2008.

1/2 This year as always I am thinking of Mickey but also of my mother, who had a "good war", was the longest serving woman in the army at the end of WW2 and loved it so much she went straight back in.

"Sadly, some transsexuals seem to be extremely litigious, and very anxious to use the law to try to force other people to accept them in their chosen sex.

. . . The Government seem to think that all transsexuals are delightful, kind and tolerant."

Sue Reid, Journalist doing some myth-busting.

This fits with the Telford Inquiry, which was also at pains to dispel these myths.

"There were two lies about a child like that, about a family like that, that were put out.

🧵 "Let Women Speak" by SnacKcanS

Nearly got all the lyrics! Great song ❤️


It's a Party Of Women
no it is not for the weak, shut up and let women speak
it's a party of women
no it is not for the weak, shut up and let women speak

1/10 it's time that you departed
space is only women (. . . ?)
it's not for the cold hearted
people you don't need to know

I don't understand why some people don't get this.

"Male" is appropriate sometimes.

Many times though it is used when "Man" and "Men" would be better.

I remember when women were arguing that we could let men have "woman" because we had "female".

However, almost immediately lots of men were saying they were female.

It was also safer to say "male" on social media, Mumsnet, etc. because you were less likely to get banned than if you said "man".

It feels like we have got stuck in that mindset.
