The "mere solicitor" is SO worried that we have, apparently misrepresented something by condensing actual quotes that he he posts lots of screenshots of what, um, another group wrote to attack us... https://t.co/VTINda...

On "therapy is political". For those wondering where this might have come from, it appears to have roots in "queer activism" This is therapy as activism and we are unsure why it would be appropriate for raped women. #AskRapeCrisisScotl...

Honestly astonished and horrified that people are saying ever more outrageous things in defence of this. Fear of men after a rape is now "prejudice" REALLY? What responsible counsellor would ever say this?! https://t.co/KMYTrp...

The question is, do you think women are bigots for wanting female only space. The fact is, most of the people playing this game do think women should be "challenged on prejudice" for recognising the sex of another person. This is critical issue. ...

Here's an interesting story about the book written by survivors which Edinburgh Rape Crisis produced. In February 2019 ERC was due to launch the book at an event at the Audacious Women Festival. But, because some of the events in programme were ...

The latest from the TRAs is to say that because our original tweet did not contain ellipses it misrepresented the words of Wadhwa. We think that, in context, they are actually far worse and we have posted the quote in full on our blog. We are not ...

They were not labelled extremists for believing in climate change, but for denial that sex is real & that women are entitled to safe spaces & services in face of male violence. They have sacrificed science for queer theory. But you know this ...

Immoral is a very good word for the political spin we are now seeing around the objections of women who, lest Hunter and others forget, are often those who have needed women-only services at a time of intense trauma. https://t.co/Fx5Pnj...

Ms Hunter is lying again. Par for the course with her to be dishonest about what opponents say because she is unable to respond to the argument. We had hoped better when talking about traumatised victims of assault, however. This is not appropriate. ...
