Women’s bodies are not public resources to be mined.

This is a scandal waiting to break.

Nearly half of women, girls ‘do not own their bodies’, UN says.
A UNFPA report finds nearly half the women & girls in developing countries do not have decision-making power over their own bodies, including whether or not to have sex with their partners

Yesterday's #FirstDoNoHarm conference organised by Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender was an incredible achievement. The 1st gathering of medical professionals who are blowing the whistle loud & clear on the irreparable harms done to children & vulnerable adults by 'gender affirmative care' 1/4

'Why does it matter to you what other people do with their bodies?'

Because 'gender affirming care' is a socio-medical scandal worse than lobotomies & thalidomide.

It is a lie built out of regressive, homophobic, & misogynistic stereotypes, which harms the bodies & minds of

“The injuries described in the WPATH Files include sterilization, loss of sexual function, liver tumors, and death.

…children and their parents don’t understand the effects that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries will have on their bodies. And yet…”

It's very telling to see this connection being made out in the open. Yes, the 'women's safety isn't as important as male feelings and women who don't accept it are unkind' argument doesn't just apply to one area

6 women appeared in court over the last 18 months for ending their own pregnancies. That's a 6600% increase compared to a total of 3 in the first 50 years after the Abortion Act 1967.
Let that sink in.

My latest “The appetite for programmes like Virgin Island should not be seen in isolation, they are symptoms of a wider social malaise. To paraphrase Timothy Leary, the time has come to turn off, tune out and step up.” thecritic.co.uk/the-age-of-the…

'Puberty is a human right. It is a fundamental and necessary developmental process. It is not an illness.'

Fight, flight, freeze and fawn are how our bodies handle dangerous situations.

We instinctively know which will be most effective.

Women are probably more likely than men to use freeze and fawn.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Between 2 and 3 women a week are killed by men a week in the UK. This horrific case in which a man strangled to death his wife and his two children aged 4 and 6 is but one example.

Beautiful work from the talented Rachel Rooney. The children’s author condemned for her joyous book My Body is Me - an ideal Xmas gift for any young children in your life.

The inclusive words are ‘mother’ & ‘women’. Everyone who gives birth is both. If anyone wants a special word, then employers can comply…without taking the correct words from the rest of us. Somerset Council‘s maternity policy omits the word ‘mother’…for ‘inclusivity’🙄

“Naga Munchetty: I was failed and gaslit by NHS despite debilitating periods. BBC newsreader tells women and equalities committee she was diagnosed with adenomyosis only after seeing private GP”

Was in pub waiting for the managing agent of the property to call me.

Lady next table over was breastfeeding her baby, staff came over and asked her to use the disabled toilet.

I intervened.

It is ILLEGAL in the UK to ask someone to move for breastfeeding in public.

Have you ever been told that having a baby will improve your symptoms from an illness/injury? If you answer yes & are happy to, please share the details in the comments…

Pregnancy rewires the brains of mice: “virgin mice focus on mating, so don’t need to respond to other females’ pups, whereas mothers need to perform robust parental behaviour to ensure pup survival”. By ⁦Hannah Devlin⁩ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

I know this sounds crazy but evidence suggests sterile water injections provide “at least 30% and 50% reduction in pain for up to 90 min”. Women need as many options as possible for getting through backache labour. Don’t reduce them by suggesting drugs are the only way to cope.

All good parents agree: there's nothing more important than a child's happiness in the moment.

If you really want your child to feel loved, the best way to do this is to give her whatever her heart desires.

If that means ice cream for dinner 6 nights a week, so be it!
