We're waiting (since April) for the @PoliceServiceNI to answer our FOI on #sexnotgender in searches & crime stats. An @ni_wrn member sent us a policy (SI0321) showing male officers who "ID as women" can strip search females. No exception made for minors. independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/… @PoliceServiceNI @ni_wrn After the new UK Home Office guidance that forces should record sex based on birth cert or GRC, we asked what was PSNI policy in regards to recording sex of suspects and victims, and suspects right not to be searched by an officer of the opposite sex:

A reminder that for the 'hate crime' of sharing photos sent to us of Women = Adult Human Female protest stickers in Belfast, @SDLPlive Councillor @seamasbelfast defamed us as a hate account. @columeastwood do you think it's hateful to defend sex-based rights & language? #AE22 @SDLPlive @SeamasBelfast @columeastwood UUP's @BeattieDoug thought so too at first, 'til women from the network we belong to (& @DreyfusJames!) told him why #peacefulprotest like stickering is the ONLY way for many women to protest the erosion of our rights, spaces & language, thanks to the #chillingeffect created

Remember Yaniv's topless all-ages LGB+TQ swim events? Here's The Rainbow Project (Stonewall partners, recommended by NI gov & Education Authority as a great resource for kids) seeking donations for their 'wear what you want' all-ages private swimming events. @CharityCommNI We'll be lodging formal complaints with the Charity Commission about The Rainbow Project. Here's the archived link, in case they hide it: bit.ly/TRPNIswim. We have a #childprotection #grooming crisis in NI @dt_ni @stephennolan @belfast_newsletter @SexMattersOrg @nichildcom

The future of NI's devolved gov #Stormont may be in doubt, but we'll continue to highlight the harm done to women, children & men by attempts to replace 'sex' (male or female) with 'gender' (which can mean many things, see our cover photo) in NI. NHS FOI: whatdotheyknow.com/request/single… We're just one account out of a large network of NI citizens of all backgrounds: parents, people at all levels in education, health, civil service, 3rd sector, LGB, with disabilities. We're all angry at the drain on time & energy fighting for basic rights we'd ALREADY WON.

An FOI shows #Stonewall in #NorthernIreland got the NI Civil Service to remove the words 'mother' and 'woman' from their maternity policies. @StephenNolan you covered this re Scotland; now it's here too. Doc 5 in FOI reply:

whatdotheyknow.com/request/819001… Left column is #Stonewall's recommendations to remove 'woman', 'her', etc; right column is NICS HR response.

@StephenNolan Big relief! This account was set up to amplify concerns about replacing 'sex' (a material fact) with 'gender identity' (an untestable claim in law). We were slurred as a 'hate group' by @SeamasBelfast, who went on to block women who said we aren't a hate group & they support us. @StephenNolan @SeamasBelfast We shared photos of pro-women stickers people have been putting up around NI, and @TRPNI put out baseless claims there were razor blades underneath them. Very distressing to young people they're meant to support. @antoflynnser @AllianceLGBT @KateNicholl @GerryCarrollPBP RTed

Meanwhile in #NorthernIreland, the @SDLPlive's @BrianTierney09 championed the new rainbow crossing in #Derry that apparently cost ratepayers £22k. Yet another example of ill-thought out gesture politics that actual causes harm. In this case, visually impaired people, inc LGB+T. @SDLPlive @BrianTierney09 £22k, @BrianTierney09 @columeastwood? Did you consult with @RNIBNI @guidedogsni before installing crossings that are confusing to guide dogs, putting visually impaired pedestrians in danger? Where was the due diligence?

#Belfast's Monument To The Unknown Woman Worker Thanks to the unknown woman/women(/man/men?) responsible for this act of #peacefulprotest. The dictionary definition of 'woman' is not hate speech. People are trying to force a change in definition without debate. #NoThankYou Photo of a Belfast sculptur... #Belfast Show some love for women and LGB youth. The definition of woman is not a hate crime. Around 80% of young people with dysphoria will find it resolves by end of puberty; most of them will grow into healthy gay adults. #NoConversionTherapyViaGenderWoo

The @allianceparty was also given £21,561 in 2018 by Ferring Ireland - Ferring manufactures puberty blockers. Could this explain the party's unwillingness to engage with female voters re erasure of sex-based language & rights? bbc.com/news/uk-northe… @SJAMcBride Ferring Ireland on the Ferring Global website: ferring.com/?directory=ire…

This a/c was created from a large group of NI people of all backgrounds & sectors of NI. Many anonymous for fear of job loss, bullying at work, their kids being targeted. @ClaireHanna your comms officer is blocking women for speaking up #SeamasBlocksWomen

archive.is/jVMZ5 We know only too well the horrific, misogynistic abuse our female politicians get. We have women in our network in very senior positions at work who feel they have too much to lose to put your name to it. But we are going to need more politicians to listen to us and to speak up.

Good old #StreisandEffect, well done S! NI, this is the cadre of our politicians: Defending #childsafeguarding, women's rights & laws based on sci evidence rather than #newcreationism of gender ideology gets you branded a 'hate group'. #BigSeamasIsWatchingYou #AskHimWhatAWomanIs PS If you're a man or a man-prioritising woman who feel you need to block our content, please do answer our poll on the definition of women on your way out. Unlike Seamas, we're not scared of your opinions on the matter.

THREAD: Multiple unverified claims have been made of people finding razor blades under pro-women stickers in #Belfast in the last few days, and were repeated by politicians and trans orgs. Despite multiple claimed sightings, not one photo of razor blades was shared. #razorgate The @BelTel piece about ‘transphobic’ [sic] stickers did not mention the worrying #razorgate claims. Can @PSNIBelfast / CI Rosie Thompson please comment on whether any razor blades were found, or indeed whether any concerned citizens reported finding razor blades to the police?

NI politicians say the current dictionary definition of woman (adult human female) is hateful. They say a religious idea, 'gender identity', (a feeling in your head or a 'woman soul') decides what a woman is. What do you NI voters think? Does 'woman' mean: And after you've told us, #askyourmlawhatawomanis, and tell us so we can tell the public ahead of election time. Let's find out who's #standingforwomenNI:

We are disappointed to see that @SDLPlive social media staff are circulating an unverified rumour which would be very distressing to young people, particularly since the person originating the claim has deleted it, and the @PoliceServiceNI has been made aware. With the mental health of NI young people, including gender confused young people, being such a serious issue of concern, it is highly irresponsible to spread unsubstantiated rumours of violent acts, certain to cause distress.

We see that one of NI's main trans lobby groups is reporting the urban myth of razor blades under stickers. We abhor the idea of anyone putting razor blades under stickers. Also the idea of anyone lying about it, terrifying vulernable young people. We hope such incidents have been reported to the PSNI for investigation. Some have suggested to us that this could be a deflection from the breaking scandal about trans lobby groups guides on BDSM & sex work for kids. Surely that's not the case. #whatareyourkidslearninginschool

Absolute NI scandal! Why have @SouthernHSCT @setrust co-produced a ‘trans health’ guide with 2 lobby groups, which encourages dangerous binding/tucking? With a ‘how to do it safely’ link to a clothing shop?
