Remember: Labour MPs all voted against a national inquiry, don’t forget that as they all tweet and make interviews on it, undoubtedly saying how necessary it is in the days and weeks to come

Among serving academics in Irish third level institutions, I can think of Colette Colfer and Tim Crowley who properly defend free speech. That is a very short list. Anyone else?

Dear emily m, It's precisely because of people like YOU that authorities turned a blind eye to the rape and torture of thousands of young white girls. You owe Rupert Lowe MP an apology. Hang your head in shame.

My partner and I were away for the weekend. We're back. We've just settled down for the evening. My partner just said: "Well at least we missed Pride [in our town]". I agreed. Then I realised what we had both said. There is no pride in Pride for lesbians anymore.

By "women-only" we mean including men who would like to go on a women-only nature walk 🙄 What could possibly go wrong here? * this is unlawful.

Six police forces have backed down on their GRC searching policies. But they are still holding onto the idea of "consensual search"; that if a man says he's trans he can consent to be searched by a female officer. There is nothing in PACE that says this. And its not fair

Staff ⁦Financial Conduct Authority⁩ ‘revolt’ over showers and toilets becoming single-sex as if this is a normal reaction as if crossdressing men somehow deserve the opportunity to get naked around women as if #RapeCulture is Financial Conduct Authority culture as if women don’t matter apple.news/AD4dEO34rQtWth…

I thought I had made my views on this pretty clear over the years. But, for the avoidance of doubt: I don’t want pride flags. I don’t want pride marches. I don’t want pride month. I am sick to the back teeth of identity politics.

The State should not endorse delusion. Of course people who are legally recognised as being the opposite sex will want to use that sex’s facilities. The Gender Recognition Act must be repealed.

"Part of me suspects people don’t like to be seen as unkind – particularly women. We are inherently programmed to show kindness. "And in an organisation like the NHS, which is predominantly female, it’s especially difficult to raise your head above the parapet and say,

The official code of practice from Home Office says to search people based the "gender they consider themselves to be" if it is their "predominant lifestyle". National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) says these searches can take place based on consent. The law says searches should be based on sex.

Uninhibited by historical facts or moral discrimination, the settler colonial ideologues clamour for the complete eradication of settler colonial structures. Predictably, its advocates are not very articulate when it comes to imagining a “decolonial future” concretely and

Sturgeon is desperate to associate herself with a campaign to pardon women accused and persecuted of witchcraft hundreds of years ago but cannot see the irony in her own repeated trouncing of women who stand up for sex based rights in the here and now. thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…

For all the debate about prison overcrowding, rehabilitation seems to have slipped down the political agenda. But as Claire Fox and Mo Lovatt describe, Debating Matters Beyond Bars is a brilliant vehicle for engaging prisoners as soon-to-be citizens. (link below)
