'I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse... I was too busy rebelling..." - Leonora Carrington Surrealist painter #WomensArt

In the unprecedented heat of summer 2022, there were almost twice as many so called 'excess' deaths amongst women than men. But this is only one of few data points that highlight how women are more impacted by the climate crisis in the UK. Read our new guest blog by Impatience Earth:

And it also rocks up on the Thames Foreshore in an area known for Roman finds. It took me years to realise that this little blue thing I thought was *nothing-of-importance* was actually *something-very-much-of-importance* when a fellow mudlarking chum told me what it was #ThamesFoundEgyptianPigment

'“I always felt more masculine,” she said. So because she doesn’t feel feminine, she’s not a woman. That is her conclusion. But another word for equating women with femininity is, quite simply, sexism.' Excellent as ever. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

FA to ban all males from female football. Because women and girls have rights too. Fixed the headline. 🍸💃🍸

'With immediate effect, only those whose biological sex is female will be eligible to play in women’s cricket and girls’ cricket matches. Transgender women and girls can continue playing in open and mixed cricket.' There. That wasn't so hard was it? 🥂 www.ecb.co.uk/news/4257688...

Our friends at Stonewall have deleted this wholly innaccurate post. Can't imagine why.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

I think the discussion on the Supreme Court ruling probably the most lively in LinkedIn as it does have “both sides”. Here it was sluggish and sparse and hampered by one way intolerance flagging. The intolerance flag is weak/poor feature of Bluesky

Netball. From 1 September: 'The female category will be exclusively for players born female, irrespective of their gender identity, whilst mixed netball will serve as the sport’s inclusive category.' help.centre.englandnetball.co.uk/wiki/spaces/...

Considering the SWP's history of rape apologists and sex pests among its members it definitely knows what a woman is.

Male people with trans identities are not societies 'most vulnerable citizens'. Please spare a thought for female prisoners, for example, most of whom are extremely vulnerable victims of domestic abuse, locked up with male prisoners with trans identities. Males are not entitled to female sport.

This is Stonewall continuing to spread lies about the law. “The ruling is not law as yet”: the Supreme Court has just told us what the law says. It is what the law always was, is, and will be unless MPs choose to legislate to allow male players to self-identify into women’s sport.

Plenty of women and girls find that being forced to play with males spoils their fun. Even young males are stronger and more aggressive than females. No-one is banning anyone from playing, just asking them to play in their own sex category.

Nobody would say Oh it's only 20 dopers in women's football so that's OK. The FA has form. It banned women's football for 50 years. Plus 90% of football participants are male. Women's football is tiny in comparison. This is a male rights movement.

I'm a sports academic. I know all about the misogynist FA. There are certainly more than 20 males playing female football. Often as goalies 'cos taller & bigger hands. I've interviewed female athletes. They are silenced & embarrassed because they know their team has an advantage. It's pure sexism.

You'd get rid of all categories would you? Age group? Disabled? Or just sex? The female sports category is a fundamental inclusion measure. It includes women in sport, particularly in team sport, by excluding males & male advantage. Seems fair. Or are you all about the males?

This is simply untrue. The Supreme Court's judgment sets out the law. Nothing further is needed. Anyone ignoring the judgment is putting themselves at legal risk. Anyone advising them to do so is being very foolish indeed.
