RT @elizamondegreen: One of these things is not like the others. And see how differently Dawson speaks about the body. Women's experiences are harnessed and shaped by our bodies. Dawson harnesses and shapes the body. https://t.co/nMjKda...

People in the USA need to stop lying about women's groups in the UK. We deplore the sexist, anti-women laws in the US. We also feel they have much more work to do on rights for all marginalised groups. We protect minorities in law and we defend ...

It's hard to audit something if you can't define it. We wonder if this review will agree with Kirsty Blackman who famously said she would be happy with the "Mexico option" of 50:50 men:transwomen https://t.co/OWu4At...
Man says which groups are allowed to talk about women and tells us what the "proper" definition of woman is. Must be nice to be this secure in your sexism! https://t.co/ubJAZE...

We are quoted in this article on the lack of joined up thinking in the Scottish Gov and on the possibility that this proposal could result in victim blaming and pushing women out of the public space. https://t.co/YUj9Ai...

There have been some shocking and untruthful comments this morning from a Scottish gov funded lobby group and a minister. https://t.co/aVp4On...
