Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council), As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display. I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal. Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated. They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive. Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure. Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation. If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice. I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason. What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated. I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this: Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering. Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating. For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media. Yours sincerely, Janet Murray

Another one to remember. Jean O’Leary calling out the misogyny of drag, addressing Rivera directly at NYC Gay Pride 1973. Have a listen. Lesbians were already fighting against the misogyny inherent in drag culture back then. Same old misogyny today. Even worse as men skin walk us

"It's an offence if someone takes offense". The fact that the police are so nonchalant about this level of censorship is beyond me.

It’s not Russia that’s a threat to Europe. It’s these four idiots 👇🏻

Security intervened to prevent any display of the Russian flag in celebration of 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva's victory. We are being indoctrinated by our radical political-media establishment to hate an entire nation.

Because we seem to have to keep stating the obvious. @AusHumanRights

Last week I decided to throw my support behind @AndyBurnhamGM for leadership of the Labour Party and on to PM. But I cannot do that now that I find out he says Transwomen. IE men. Should be allowed to use the ladies toilets. I can never support anyone that does this. Biological Women must have single sex spaces.

As soon as you declare yourself to be a 'CIS' anything you have lost the argument, CIS is a term made by trans and their allies to make trans people think they can change sex. CIS has no basis in either biology or reality. Go live your best life any legal way you like, just do not try to impose your reality, or lack thereof, on me.

Someone said, "Let's put hormonally charged teenage boys who think of nothing but sex in the same locker rooms and bathrooms with teenage girls who are embarrassed by their bodies and dealing with unreliable periods." And others said, "Great idea!"

The epidemic of sex crimes in leisure centre changing rooms continues unabated in 2026. In just the first three months of this year leisure centres around the country have been the scene of numerous crimes of voyeurism and sexual assault. In Blackburn, Lancs, a man in his 20s was arrested after allegedly taking photographs of children in the mixed-sex changing village … 🚩 1/7

Your daily reminder that Park Run is a serious race if you're a male, an important, life-saving human right if you're a male wanting to compete in the female category, but "just a fun run" if you're a female. This is what sexism (and male entitlement) looks like.

There have been many scandals through the history of modern medicine. But none even come close to "gender-affirming care." Think about it: A political movement just conjured into existence a type of young person that defies every single thing known about child and adolescent development, demanded that this fictional patient cohort be pumped full of toxic unproven drugs in the complete absence scientific justification, then insisted that these innocent youth be ushered into the operating theatre to have healthy body parts needlessly lopped off. Extremists of this movement took over the leading professional association in the field (WPATH), set about creating garbage standards of care based on their unhinged ideology, infiltrated the Endocrine Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics and engaged in a conspiracy to manufacture scientific consensus for their despicable, unethical experiment. And every major medical association just went along with it! Fell for the stunt these crackpots pulled! Just accepted that a group of healthy kids needed to have their bodies destroyed because they possess a mystical inner gender essence, that these modern-day lobotomies are “medically necessary” and “life-saving” because a bunch of unhinged fanatics said so.

A woman was legally required to kill her baby in the third trimester because the “commissioning parents” for the surrogacy demanded it, and threatened a lawsuit. The baby was missing two fingers, so the people purchasing this precious child demanded it be aborted, per their contract. This is eugenics. It’s murder. It’s a baby trade, and it needs to be criminalized.

Britain’s MoD has posted literally hundreds of times on X that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “unprovoked”. But funnily enough, declassified files show UK officials understood Nato expansion “would provoke Russians”. Me ⁦⁦@declassifiedUK⁩ declassifieduk.org/nato-expa…
