Yesterday in the Scottish Parliament I couldn't contain my anger listening to politicians endlessly repeating the lie that sex self-ID has been passed in many countries around the world with no resulting harm for women. Thread of just some recorded harms..
scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meetin… Here's a list of 122 males convicted  of sex offences, violence & murder, who 'self-identify as women'. There are many more stories like these 'that never happen' as a result of sex self-ID. More details linked from each name. Women suffer as a result.

On this day 30 years ago, McDonald's served a libel writ on me as I stepped from the van of my then partner, who unbeknown to me was an undercover policeman, John Dines, who was spying on me & other campaigners in London Greenpeace #spycops #McLibel #OTD

There was something very cult like about the chanting by trans activists which greeted us outside the @LabWomenDec #ExpelMe rally last night. The only chant that didn't involve repeating what the megaphone said was where they shouted "Fuck Off" in answer to Julie Bindel's name While trans activists assert it is 'triggering' to them for women to talk about periods or our bodies, they apparently think it's fine to turn up to protest outside a women's meeting wearing a balaclava & a flashing penis & filming women while asking for our names & where we live

@Keir_Starmer @LGBTLabour Here is a useful guide to understanding the difference between sex & gender and how 'self identification' affects the rights of women to single sex facilities & services. Will you defend women's rights to freedom of speech about these issues?

sexandgenderintro.com @Keir_Starmer @LGBTLabour For those tempted to claim that the demands of trans activists are the same as the fight for gay rights, please read this article.Many of the lesbians & other women speaking up now about the problems with trans politics were on the frontline for gay rights janeclarejones.com/2018/09/09/gay…

Thank you to all for your messages of support. I was disappointed that a small sub group of LJN allowed themselves to be used in this way, but the architects of the bullying were some academics from @Women_Strike who despite their name seem to be focused on servicing men and silencing women. @Women_Strike were also previously involved in harassing a woman trade unionist on her picket line for the supposed crime of attending a meeting about women's rights. womansplaceuk.org/footage-of-pic…
