Some people’s views can, apparently, “challenge the identity and safety” of other human beings. This is a bizarre version of reality And if it were actually the case, humans would have become extinct shortly after we developed the ability to exchange ideas.

All the hallmarks of a social contagion event. There should be questions asked about public money poured into charities - seems to be an overlap between high local spend and high numbers of local children thinking they are trans.
Replying to @RosyBoa823
I’m glad you asked. First of all, let’s outline the hallmarks of a social contagion event: - A rapid exponential explosion in numbers. - The sudden appearance of an entirely new patient group - Adolescent girls mostly affected. - Clusters of friends presenting with the same symptom/behaviour All of these are present in the epidemic of young people identifying as trans in the 2010s. Now, the way society normally responds to such events is with an immediate search for the trigger event and the vectors for the contagion. For example, with the bulimia contagion of the 80s, the trigger was found to be media coverage of the disorder. With the outbreak of anorexia in Hong Kong in the 90s, it was the sensational media coverage of a school girl who had collapsed and died on a busy street. With TikTok tics in the 2010s, a young Tourettes sufferer’s YouTube channel was swiftly identified. There are endless examples. In those instances, clinicians didn’t wait around for decades for someone to conduct a reliable study showing that the event was a social contagion. They recognised all the hallmarks and acted. In the case of bulimia though, not nearly fast enough. In the case of the trans contagion, all researchers had to do was take a glance at the cultural messaging of the era. The inflection point coincides precisely with the dawn of the trans rights movement, with media celebration of trans-identified public figures, and trans influencers proliferating rapidly on social media. And those early YouTube influencers actually documented the social contagion on camera for all to see with the How I Knew I Was Trans genre of video — with each young person describing encountering a trans-identified person online and immediately recognising themselves in it and adopting the identity. That’s the social contagion in action. We don’t need studies to show it’s a social contagion. We just need to open our eyes and look at the evidence that is, and always has been, all around us.

These men are their own worst enemies. This woman was polite and respectful even after having a drink thrown at her — but she said “no,” and the torrent of rape threats she got in response has turned her into one of us.

In Jan I wrote about Trans Bash Back after they leaked the FSU's donor list. I quoted from their direct action manual, which advises supporters “ensure your target can be hit repeatedly until they desist from their activities”, adding: “All of our targets have blood on their hands. We refuse to let them wash it off in peace.” Why have they not been arrested? telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026…

Interview with @MForstater coming this eve at 9PM! Still editing like crazy but will definitely get it live for 9PM so look out for it 😉 It's a really insightful look at what's been achieved over the last 5 years and gives reasons to be optimistic about the future ☺️ We also get into the framing of biological facts as 'gender critical beliefs' and look at repealing the GRA / removing 'gender reassignment' from the Equality Act So it's gonna be quite packed, but when you have a chance to interview someone like Maya I don't want to waste any opportunities. I'll keep you posted! Notifications will probably go out late afternoon / early eve, but it'll go live 9PM regardless 😉

Good analogy: like transitioning, boarding school horribly damages humans (Boris, most members of his cabinet) But then, if a parent acknowledges they caused massive damage to their child/ren, that parent might just not be able to find any way to live with themselves.
Replying to @BarbaraRich_law
For a lawyer, he doesn’t seem very interested in evidence. Clinical evidence. I guess like some parents of boarding school survivors, it is impossible for many WellBN parents believe that what they thought was right for their loved ones has caused terrible harm.

How park run could “get through” the “debate”. At least what he calls the debate is a preoccupation for him. I wonder if he knows about AGP.
Asked about challenges that parkrun faces, founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt said ‘as we know, the most obvious challenge is this whole gender, sex debate. We will get through that.’ You’ll ‘get through it’ by obeying the law.

Thank you, @WRNAfghanistan for the chance to speak with women about menstruation. I feel so privileged to have spent a couple of hours with women whose lives are very different from mine. I have learned a lot and am grateful.

If any movement has proven how fragile gay rights are it’s the T. Lesbians are in court defending legal protections for homosexuals only because of ‘trans’ activism. Homosexuality is being reframed to include those of the opposite sex because of the T. Who said that in a world of ‘gender’ homosexuality doesn’t really exist / is redundant? Joy Everingham, a ‘trans’ person. Who wrote in the 90s that in a world of ‘gender’ homosexuality would lose all meaning? Martine Rothblatt, a ‘trans’ person. Who said being gay was a ‘consolation prize’ for those who didn’t have the balls to ‘transition’? Juno Dawson, a ‘trans’ person. Who are running workshops for gay men to learn to pleasure female genitalia? ‘Trans’ people. Who are running workshops for males to convince lesbians to date them? ‘Trans’ people. Do are advocating for a sterilising medical pathway for youth, most of whom would simply grow up to be gay? ‘Trans’ people So don’t be baffled, educate yourself - it’s 2026 and you have no excuse for being this ignorant anymore

You can talk all day about "innate gender identity" but it was a man's physical force that sent two women off their feet with one shove. Sex is immutable and gender is bullshit.
A man pretending to be a woman, suspected of murdering a little boy, publicly assaulted female journalists. Naturally Australian media referred to him as "she".

For years, children were fast‑tracked into hormone replacement drugs and invasive surgeries and then had no place to go when they regretted it.  The medical establishment often pretended detransitioners didn’t exist, leaving them to manage scars and deep psychological pain on their own. But that wall of denial just cracked.  In a landmark settlement, Cleveland Clinic has agreed to a 20‑year ban on sex‑change treatments for minors and, additionally, must provide detransition care for patients who want to reclaim their real identity and repair the harm that was done. This comes on the heels of Texas Children’s Hospital announcing that it will open the first dedicated detransition clinic in the country.  Detransitioners have serious, lifelong medical and mental‑health needs, and the hospitals that hurt them have a duty to help them heal. ❤️‍🩹 Read the full piece in the New York Post here: nypost.com/2026/06/10/opinio…

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

It’s been like a kind of national hypnosis, with no interrogation from the press at all until now. How did governments think this acceptable, and journalists treat it as routine, while transactivists claimed of over-funded women’s rights groups?
£3.9m to Scottish Trans to campaign against women's spaces. The SNP worked hand in glove with taxpayer-funded trans lobbyists to undermine women's rights. Could this be happening in Wales? (Yes.)

Good to see a clear focus on improving women’s mental health from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. ✅ accurate language and use of word “woman” ✅ accurate definition of woman in line with Equality Act and Supreme Court ✅ focus on women throughout the lifecycle including puberty, pregnancy, post-partum and menopause ✅ focus on addressing VAWG and providing trauma informed care ✅ calls for single sex accommodation accross all mental health inpatient settings, with focus on PICU (psychiatric intensive care) as a starting point rcpsych.ac.uk/improving-care…

Thoughts For The Day
If male bathrooms are not safe for non conforming males the problem is males. This needs tackling. Along with the 3 women a week killed by men. We know of course it’s not all men. There are loads of brilliant, fair men out there. But male aggression & intolerance is a problem. Pretending it’s not so won’t make it go away. The pure entitlement of certain men who think they get to pick their sex is not acceptable. It’s not then acceptable either to simply switch the problem to be a women’s one to deal with. And sadly bad men will & have taken advantage of unlawful self ID gender ideology, based on no science, just a self reported feeling. Safeguarding is the reason why we have single sex spaces. Single sex sports to give females equal opportunity. So women & girls can play a bigger, fuller part in society. Problems cannot be fixed unless we speak the truth. Wishing something to be a particular way won’t make it so. Platitudes & virtue signalling is getting bloody boring, exhausting & showing up many individuals for idiots who can’t tell the difference between the actual law, & guidance, there to help businesses implement the law. The fact for years the law was wilfully misrepresented, is not the fault of those asking for it to be applied now.
