Remember in The Handmaid's Tale (the book) when women suddenly found they'd lost their jobs and control of their bank accounts because of a series of legislative changes no one saw the real end point of? The last few years have demonstrated to me how easily that could happen.

"Misgendering" is not a crime in Ireland. Correctly sexing people is an evolutionary adaptation. Telepathy would be required to know a stranger's beliefs about themselves. People who tell you their gender have no power to make you believe in it or compel you to act as if you do.

@LHannon_Fotos @MaryKenny4 Do you genuinely think that is the total range of available options? Changing sex is impossible so that's not even an option. This emotional blackmail designed to shut down the conversation, create unnecessary panic. It's also NOT how suicidality is treated in any other instance

@MidwivesRCM @DrMariekedOuden If you're even going to PRETEND that babies aren't born from women 100% of the time or that those babies could be something other than male or female you've sacrificed your credibility and professionalism for a religious craze. Total failure.

@davecoviddave I've noticed some women are going back to basics and just saying "crossdresser".

@mrjamesob @hen10freeman @Gibson_U_Witch @FindingDore Why would a man insist others accept he is a woman and then put himself forward for a role involving disabled women's intimate care when he's obviously aware that this will be a major problem? He's also aware that people will hesitate to speak up. It looks like a very obvious con

@NLIreland I'm not getting the drag queen - children's literacy link. How is misogyny played for laughs by men a lesson in diversity? Poor taste is also valid? What percentage of the population are drag queens? Why do they need children to accept them? Bad reviews in the toddler newspapers?

@roseveniceallan I saw a man in the street yesterday with his hand shoved right down his pants cradling his balls. Instinctively i turned my head and hurried past. I even put my hand up to shade my eyes. That's how we react to inappropriate and alarming behaviour by men. Shrink, avoid, escape.

So @NWCI recognise that killing women in their homes is a bad thing but killing women on the rugby pitch is every man's right? Could Larisa and Miriam not get their own email? Opposing MVAWG is your remit. Getting men into women's sport is not. Men in women's sport *is* MVAWG.

Happy Mother's Day, you pack of mothers! I hope you're all relaxing to the soothing white noise of blame scatterguns, bearded men cursing at various demographics for voting wrong, and the age old song of "you just didn't understand" from the people who actually don't understand.

@RebelsForPeace That's hilarious, those guys filmed us leaving at the end of our event to get a cuppa and claimed they drove us out! Priceless. This was us for the 15 minutes before that.

@OrlaNWCI I don't think the suffragettes ever expected that a century later professional feminists would vote the way men tell them to, vote against women's interests and tell other women to do the same, all while invoking the suffragettes. #VoteNoNo
