As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

El padre se quedó mirándola. —Hemos venido temprano precisamente para reservarlas. Ella señaló las tumbonas: —Reservarlas no. Habéis dejado cuatro toallas y os habéis ido dos horas. Él insistió en que habían llegado antes y que, por tanto, eran suyas. La discusión empezó a subir de tono hasta que se acercó el socorrista. Y tuvo que decidir quién tenía razón.

Desert Island Discs reminds me regularly of my intense dislike of Joni Mitchell

Sharing this again. I should not have ever had to write this article. Because the very first transvestite man who tried to 'chestfeed' a baby should have received a long, long, prison sentence. The fact this did not happen is a testament to how far gender ideology has debased Western society.

Howling all over media because @andyburnham is spending one day a week in Manchester . Quite telling that @TomSwarbrick1 on @LBC just now talked about Tony Blair entertaining Hollywood stars at Chequers 🤣 - and not Margaret Thatcher regularly entertaining Jimmy Savile there

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant". Please share as widely as possible. The news media have a convenient habit of forgetting about Farage's service to Russia.

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!" This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared... "A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr. Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames. "A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar. "A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term." "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more." This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein. "There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from." "Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests." Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging. Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders. Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!

Scottish taxpayers, against the vast majority’s will, funded an attempt by the government to keep men in women’s prisons. Never have I been so tempted to move to Monaco and give all the money I’ve been paying in tax to groups fighting the rank misogyny of Swinney’s government.

You want to physically fight women and girls in order to force them to accept male adults undressing in female changing rooms with them and their daughters?

Scottish and Norwegian fans enjoying themselves together. This is diversity at it's finest well done. xitter.gq/i/status/2066135713494…
Big thank you to Scotland fans who partied in an amazing way. Let's not forget the Boston policeman for his part in joining in the celebrations.

BREAKING: LOL! Australia World Cup fans go viral with a chant of "Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender" and MAGA world is FURIOUS! This is just too funny... Clips are spreading like wildfire across social media showing hundreds of Australia fans in several locations gleefully belting out the chant. Australia will face off against the United States tomorrow in Seattle after triumphing over Turkiye this past weekend. Ahead of that showdown, the Aussies are waging a particularly funny brand of psychological warfare. Predictably, supporters of the President are screeching their outrage all over X, with some calling for the Australian fans to be banned from the United States for the match. As usual, these Republicans believe in free speech until they hear speech that they don't like. But the problem for MAGA is that Trump IS a sex offender. He's an adjudicated rapist and a self-admitted sexual predator. He's also an alleged pedophile and judging just by the Epstein files that we have seen, he preyed on little girls for years. This is what the entire world now thinks of the American President. The Oval Office used to inspire respect and awe, now it's the butt of every joke. Please like and share if you have NO PROBLEM with this chant!

Replying to @DivineEast
They killed my 2 year old great aunt at Auschwitz, along with every single person in her entire extended family - 79 people - except for her mother and my grandfather, the latter of whom the family had been able to hide in 1939 after one of his school friends died unexpectedly. My great grandmother weighed 72 pounds when she was liberated, and she carried the scars of the medical torture she endured for the rest of her life. She was also left sterile, and deeply traumatized. When she tried to go back to the house her family had owned for a hundred years, a neighbor family had moved in, and threatened her life if she didn’t leave town and never come back. When she tried to collect her parents’ life insurance, with the numbers her father had made everyone memorize, the insurance company said that without proof of death, they wouldn’t pay. The only thing on that list that’s happening to trans people is the sterilization —- but y’all are doing that to yourselves. It is unbelievably offensive to victims of actual genocide for you to pretend that men being told to use men’s spaces is even in the same ballpark.

holy fuck, total anti women bollocks
Dear Ms Forstater, It’s been really awkward, admitting to a global audience that we have thrown women under the bus. Gaslighting women about their memories of having a bra fitting in a female exclusive changing area, has been hard on our branding. I’m delighted to correctly inform you that instead of addressing any of this, or taking steps to assure our loyal female customers that they are valued, we chose to instead, phase you out slowly. Our new, linguistically-neutral fitting room signage is a mere aesthetic upgrade to our branding. If women find the wording confusing and unsettling, that’s on them. Your assumptions that we would respond to prolonged public scrutiny regarding our safeguarding policies with a clear statement and cascade of staff training is frankly, absurd. Unisex facilities are much easier than giving a shite about women and girls. Sincerely, A man from M&S
