No, we're targeted because of our sex. We are targeted *however* we conform or don't conform to gender. You cannot fold women's sex based experience entirely under gender, or pretend we somehow identify into our oppression by how we do gender. ...

RT @mbmpolicy: Thank-you again to everyone who funded us to work on this Bill, enabling the evidence and arguments we produced to be heard clearly at every stage, and for us to provide updates on that process all the way through.
RT @mbmpolicy: While we pause to take stock, we would be grateful if people would share with us any examples they come across of encouragement, or intentions announced, to use the Bill to prevent women from discussing or campaigning on issues related ...

RT @JeanHatchet: I’m thinking about the policeman who stopped a gang of us girls in town when I was 16/17. I thought I had to do what he said or be in trouble. He said he’d drive me home. He said he wanted to take topless photos of me. He let me out ...
Regular reminder that women are human beings not houses with their doors unlocked and that VAWG is a crime against a person not a crime against property. STOP. ANALOGISING. WOMEN. WITH. PROPERTY. That's how you reconcile those facts. ...

The person most likely to hurt *anyone* is a *male.* What is actually going on here is that you are insisting that by identifying as women, some people entirely pass from the class of perpetrators to the class of female victims. And there is no ...
RT @marstrina: You have that in common with men, too. Everybody is most likely to be hurt by a man. That's what '90% of violent crime is done by men' looks like in the world. That's not an argument for anything. https://t.co/aqM3LW...

I've interacted a lot with Ben. He is a measured, factual, and funny ally. Someone saying "My solution is to defend women’s existing right to single-sex spaces," is not *berating* you. He is making a calm measured political point. ...
RT @boodleoops: It’s unacceptable misandry to treat all men as a potential threat to our safety; then when one of them assaults us, it’s our own fault for not assuming they were a threat to our safety. https://t.co/E4bfZG...
Because banning 'talking to people experiencing distress with their gender about any of the many reasons for that distress and just putting them on an affirmative medical pathway' is a very serious potential harm. https://t.co/iEJupo...
Dear all the people mouthing pieties about VAWG when you have spent the last five years engaged in VAWG-reality-denyin... bullshit and calling us bigots and white nationalists and homophobes because we know males are a statistical threat. GTF.

RT @RosamundUrwin: Like so many women on here, I‘m thinking about Sarah Everard, her family and friends. That could have been any of us. There’s so much emphasis on teaching girls how “to be safe” as though that will protect us, when really we need a ...
