1/2 Despite the resistance of parties on the left to acknowledge this, the transgender trend that began in the 1990s is in reverse. It started in America and it's fading there, where there's been a 50% drop in students identifying as trans or non-binary. It's been explained by social contagion.

The incredible charity LGB Alliance has just wrapped up its fifth successful conference. I was proud to be one of the attendees. However, it is crucial for people to be aware of what is happening. #LetsGoBig2026 #LGB2026 #LGBAllianceConference www.alexbloodfire.com/p/the-incred...

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Labour is “weakening legal protections for women and girls” by failing to publish the EHRC guidance on safeguarding the right to single-sex spaces, said Reem Alsalem, UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls. Phillipson wants to "tone down" the guidance, which would nullify it.

Three years into war, Sudan faces unprecedented death, displacement and poverty. In Berlin today, I co-chaired a conference on the country’s political future. We focused on reviving peace talks, mobilising aid, and backing civil society. (1/4)

Fungi make so much of life on earth possible—but are too often left out of conservation. That's slowly starting to change. As it does, a cohort of mycologists across Africa are pioneering the study and conservation of fungi in their home countries. My latest: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

then you don't know about the new definition of "lesbian" as formulated by for example Johns Hopkins. 👇 Notice that women can only be defined by referencing men. To me this is the best example of the misogyny inherent in the gender cult.

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

Seit 3 Jahren leiden die Menschen im #Sudan unter einem unerbittlichen Krieg zwischen SAF und RSF. 14 Millionen Menschen wurden teils mehrfach vertrieben. Ein Ende ist nicht in Sicht. Heute, auf der internationalen Sudan‑Konferenz in Berlin, hat die Politik die Chance zu handeln. Wird sie es tun?

Suffolk's Safeguarding Partnership, under the Council's umbrella, uses guidance for "trans" youth based on Brighton & Hove's discredited guidance. It should be removed. I've emailed this to the two candidates I'm considering in the current election. Whether I vote for either depends on responses.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Thank you for the good laugh about shoelaces, trousers, maps, detonating paragraphs, and corvid-voiced advice … from someone who often walks around with untied shoelaces after stomping through snow and wears a gifted shirt saying: “Call me antisocial, but please don’t actually call me.”

HPV vaccines have NOTHING to do with “parental values”, as RFK Jr.’s surrogate claims. You could have sex with a single partner—your spouse—and become infected. If your parental values include a desire for your child to die from a vaccine preventable disease, your values need an adjustment.

UK teenage girls say misogyny, harassment and online abuse shape their daily lives. This BBC article describes teenage girls experiences in their own words. Often life is described as being shaped through boys’ expectations, behaviour and scrutiny.

Susan Smith @forwomen.scot says so many people tried to write them off because they were middle aged women and they were dismissed as ‘hags’ and ‘unfanciable’. Victoria Smith's excellent book, Hags, explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today.

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record: - 256 eggs (252 in 2019) - 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019) - 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019). It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds
