The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women - ie, to male violence - ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences - is a nonsense.

Dear Mr Zahawi Next week, I'm talking to some Sixth Formers. I was going to talk about two of my books: 1) how the Nazis killed my relatives 2) how the NHS saved my life. I am worried that this may be too political. Can you advise please? Yours Michael Rosen.

Hey Twitter! I've just donated to the DEC DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to help provide aid to people fleeing the conflict. Can you help? bit.ly/3tnSOBo

After 20 yrs ( Yeap 20 years) of the IOC allowing testosterone fuelled East Germans athletes to dominate women’s sport in the 70s& 80s I was always going to die on the hill of FAIR sport for females, so a whole new generation didn’t have to suffer the same fate because of

We’re at 14%!!! My husband has sworn that he would NEVER wear this outfit in public. But if I can raise £12k for St Nicholas Hospice Care (their daily fundraising quota) then he will ride with me on a tandem dressed as Mr Incredible

Starmer wrote in the Express that he will not restore Freedom of Movement. Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Please don’t be silenced anymore by fear, don’t sit on the fence, recognise publicly that the emperor has No cloths on. The time for no debate, ignoring the evidence, facts and stats is coming to an end. Speak out, stop any more damage to our young and vulnerable as well as more

How many celebs will one day be saying ‘But I didn’t know the (long term) side effects of …puberty blockers/hormones/surgery’ ‘I didn’t realise gender dysphoria is resolved in 80-90% of children/teens simply through growing through puberty’ ‘I didn’t know puberty blockers

If you don’t pay NHS doctors what they’re worth for doing a high risk, highly complex, life-saving job - or restore their pay to what it was worth in 2008 - many will switch careers or move to countries that pay better. No amount of physician associates can make up for that loss.

Wasn’t going to post this as can’t be doing with the inevitable comments, but some things are more important Today my Muslim GP trainees were scared to do home visits to our vulnerable housebound patients for fear of their safety - but they put patients first and did them anyway

As a cancer specialist in #Middlesbrough, I think that it’s important to let the right wing racists, fascists and bigots know that we couldn’t deliver a cancer service to the local population without amazing colleagues from all over the world, many of whom are Muslims #RiotsinUK

This letter in The Times says it all

Excellent letter from Lynn Marwood ♀️ in Private Eye:
