.@MForstater, who is very brave, fought a 4-YEAR LEGAL BATTLE (2019-23) to establish that women could not be discriminated against by employers for holding & voicing gender-critical belief that sex is real, binary,immutable and important in life ( eg in sports). 1/6 Until the judge at appeal ruled in her favour, women across UK faced possibility of losing jobs or other opportunities if they dared to agree with her.
This was SCARY. Women including me, but most of whom are not journalists, were scared. 2/6

Well said @bindelj. What transactivism/Stonewall have enabled is grotesque & unfolding exactly as feminists predicted.
A system that humours (with pronouns etc) a *male child sex offender * who turns up in court in a pink headband saying his name is "Sophie" is a pro-paedophile system And i cannot for the life of me see why the VAST majority of liberal people (whatever their sexual orientation) can't see - or won't admit - the problem. Don't you care when child sex offenders are indulged like this? By the courts & the press?

1/Reading about Great Ormond Street Hospital cancellation of child psychiatry training event including gender-critical speakers (@HJoyceGender & @cwknews) it seems clearer & clearer that staff/student networks set up under auspices of Diversity & Inclusion are.. 2/.. running a campaign against knowledge/ideas that don't fit with gender-activist, affirmation-only model of treatment for gender dysphoria.
Based in part on spurious comparison to homophobia -since being gay/ lesbian does not require medical treatment or surgery - ..

Just finished very illuminating & enjoyable political biography by one of my Guardian leaders predecessors @writerperkins 🙌 Among many other things Castle's attitude to feminism is fascinating. She thought 60s/70s women's movement too introspective: "sexual politics has replaced social policy"

I'm going to say something else about @suzanne_moore. It's that after 300+ of our colleagues signed a letter attacking her in March (it didn't name her but the story about it given to Buzzfeed did) lots of us offered support, on here or by telling the editor what we thought. Not everyone who said something agreed with Suzanne's column (about Selina Todd's no-platforming in Oxford) tho I did. They all thought she didn't deserve to be publicly attacked by hundreds of colleagues.
Anyway, what i want to say is that I bitterly regret...
