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.

Lawyers for Scottish Ministers at Supreme Court are going to produce a flow-chart during the lunch break, explaining clear interactions between GRA2004 and the Equality Act 2010 . . . that they are unable to explain without props! 😂

They are living in the Real World not the fantasy Gender Woo Realm!

🧵 "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

2/10

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.
