As we know, predators are looking for three things:
1) access
2) opportunity
3) social cover
If you’re running an organisation that provides any of these elements, predators will be trying to use you to get to kids #Mermaids #safeguarding works if we disrupt these three ways that predators use organisations:
1) access: ensure adults don’t have unsupervised access to minors: no private one-to-ones, no use of unregulated chat services/platforms, no mingling of minor and adult services

The tragic death of a woman who identified as a ‘trans man’, killed by blows from a man resulting in catastrophic brain injury, is reported as “transphobic hate crime” What actually happened was a violent man was verbally abusive to a lesbian couple. A ‘trans man’ intervened, and the violent man punched the ‘trans man’, which resulted in her death. It’s men’s violence against women that caused this death.

So, yesterday I filmed a video, reading Debbie Hayton’s latest justification for public displays of fetishism. My video is informed by child development and safeguarding frameworks However, for those that are short of time, I’ll be able to give you a summary, now.
No 3 yr old can possibly have AGP, which is an adult paraphillia.
3 yr olds are at Piaget’s pre-operational stage, and believe that dressing up as a thing transforms you into a thing.

Didn’t you know that at all times, all your political opinions about events in foreign Countries must be broadcasted on privately owned social networks. Or else strangers will assume they understand your politics? GB has broad popular consensus in favour of safe, legal abortion, where medically approved by 2 doctors. The very small pockets of forced birthers have no political influence. We have maternity leave, and universal free-at-the-point-of-need healthcare. Thanks, feminists!

Some things I know:
1. Men’s sexuality has evolved to prime men for instant reactions to stimulation (including thoughts, feelings, sensations) and has been selected for the ability to reproduce many times with many people.
2. This is not like women’s sexuality
#SomeThingsIKnow 3. Women’s sexuality has evolved to allow us to choose to invest time and resources in a mate, to reproduce relatively few times. This is different to men’s sexuality.
4. The dance between the drivers of men’s and women’s sexualities, gives us culture

Women are amazing. In the vacuum created as traditional media abandoned women’s issues, women stepped up, and many have become expert ‘citizen-reporters’. Thanks to @tribunaltweets @StopfordianR and the tweeters #AdrianHarrop #FtP #FitnessToPractice @gmc The lamentable tantrumming doctor has showed no insight, no remorse, no accountability for the impact of his actions on the women he intimidated and threatened. It will be a whitewash if he isn’t severely sanctioned #AdrianHarrop #FtP #FitnessToPractice @gmcuk

Important FTP Hearing had been going on: today was day 3. Every complaint, and every witness must be thanked for their persistence and bravery in stepping forward to protect the public #FitnessToPractice #AdrianHarrop In a remarkably arrogant and narcissistic move, #AdrianHarrop was interviewed by @VICE *and gave them a copy of the legal bundle, including witness statements and personally identifying information* #FitnessToPractice

Have just received notice from school that @LeedsCC_Help are offering FSM ‘hampers’ of food to help families like mine over Xmas. This is another example of people trying to help and getting it very very wrong Families like mine have very specific needs for our food. And I plan my ‘budget’ very carefully. I don’t have a car, or a chest freezer, so I have to plan the pantry storage, too.

Interesting juxtaposition of tweets in my timeline.
Exhibit A. £385000 awarded to Hull’s transgender community hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east…
Exhibit B. £160000 desperately needed to keep a BAME Women’s service running, in Hull uk.gofundme.com/f/safe-shelter…

@hullfair Population of Hull was 260000 in 2019.
White population 89.7%, 233000 people, so BAME population 10.3% or 27000 people. Female BAME is 50% of that, or 13500 women.

The other important anniversary for U.K. feminists happening today: it’s 3 years since the assault on Maria McLachlan, at Speakers’ Corner, in London #MariaMcLachlan Maria was standing with a group of women, waiting for instructions of how to get to the secret venue where a feminist event to discuss proposed GRA Reform, was being held. They were being protested by a rowdy group of trans activists #MariaMcLachlan

What’s described here isn’t going to break down the sex-based oppression of women. It’s just going to confuse this kid, and isolate them from their peer group Raising girls, in struck with the gendered differences in clothing that are offered to children. It’s beyond pink and blue. Boys clothes encourage activity, they’re made of fabrics, patterns, and colours that stand frequent washing and resist damage during play

It’s 13 years since I had an emergency c-section, to save my life, and the life of my baby (thank you NHS!)
The operation was performed in minutes. The violence of it, coming after such a long and painful Labour, caused me to dissociate. My baby was alive: I was elated! It was hard to re-integrate with my body, afterwards. The extraordinarily long labour; the pressure on the surgical team that meant my section was so delayed; the imminent post-natal depression that was crashing down on me. I didn’t recognise myself

Guess what’s happening in #Leeds, the #WomanFriendlyCity tomorrow? That’s right: Male performances of objectified and ridiculed femininity, and of sexual subordination... for toddlers and children. #DQST. The text of the advert reads:

“Looking for a unique story hour for your little one? Well we have a novel suggestion!

Drag Queen Story Hour UK and Leeds Libraries have joined together to provide a new and innovative storytime...”

A note about biological sex. I am not a biologist, but I can accurately predict sex in almost every human I see. Why is this, given that some people have cross-sex identifications, and intersex conditions can be present? We know that female= large gamete production capability, and Male= small gamete production capability. But people keep saying biological sex is so complex, and biology has ‘moved on’, because there are edge cases within categories

Thoughts on reading the new piece by Holly Lawford-Smith: I couldn’t disagree more. HLS gets the “TWAM” part of the argument correct; there is no way a man could know what it feels like to be a woman, for neither their own internal experience, nor the cultural milieu, give them access to a female perspective

My heart goes out to every woman isolated at home with an angry Male partner. He doesn’t have to be violent: he just has to keep you on egg-shells, in a state of hyper-vigilance, or to appease him at all costs. For women with children, there’s another layer of distress. Protecting the children from witnessing this is impossible. and soon, they also learn to disrespect Mum. How could they not? The gaslighting is complete: the whole family agrees

So, I’ve been listening to this podcast, this morning. In it, ‘Joanne’ talks about sustaining her marriage through her husband’s transition to live full time as ‘Helen’ @transwidows #AGP pod.link/1491735705/ep/… First of all, h/t to @Quieten_Down who first alerted me to the podcast

The woman that was my daughter’s Guide leader attended last night’s #WPUKLeeds19. I asked her about the safeguarding challenges of accommodating intact males in sleeping accommodations with my daughter or other girls She told me that she had “trans friends, who would be on the floor, crying, if they heard what I was saying”.
That’s not safeguarding my daughter, or other girls. That’s protecting the feelings of unrelated adults.

On yesterday's racism in feminism upset.

First of all, and most important: the experiences of BAME women cannot and should not be denied or dismissed by white women, who are both the majority of the movement, and have significant structural advantages. Believe women. We think we are the default woman whose oppression is addressed in feminism. This is not so. We fight for ALL women. Including women who are fighting battles that we don't always understand.

We have to get better at demonstrating the solidarity we want to show.
