@helenstaniland My generation was brought up to be critical of gender. We were the "girls can do anything" generation, short hair, climb trees, love maths and lego - awesome, you are part of the great variety of womanhood. I didn't decide to be GC, the TRA's decided those things made you a man.

The world can see Petrillo’s genitals, his body has been through male puberty Note the guides are all male - because unexceptional men can run as fast as elite female athletes He is an old white man who has chosen to trash the dreams of 2 disabled women #IsItOk #Paralympics

@Rod__Mason @Ashworth101 I’m staggered that people think this even makes business sense. It’s like putting your religious or political affiliation in your footer. Emails go out to people who may well have very strong, very different, views. I’m sure many companies have lost business because of this.

@stonewalluk @thetimes @thesundaytimes @MailOnline Criticising the messengers rather than what they say speaks volumes. As does the flippancy. Sunlight being brought to any organisations behaviour is uncomfortable - but most listen, consider and respond thoughtfully.

@SussexIncidents There is nothing controversial about believing in womens rights or the immutability of sex. The bigger issue is your failure to recognise the controversy is the masked male protesters.

@CarveHerName SEX. The clue is in the title. Illegal to discriminate on the grounds of sex. Sex is still a protected characteristic. #SexMatters #SexNotGender #DontMisrepresentTheLaw

@thejamesmax @millihill @talkRADIO We champion those who do not conform to stereotypes - we don’t sterilise them or tell them they are in the ‘wrong body’. Be yourself, don’t forget reality. That’s precisely what feminism says, women can be anything they want doesn’t make them ‘men’. And vice versa.

@MargaretAtwood @TorontoStar You’ve been vocally complicit in the move to eliminate the meaning of the word, now you wonder where the words gone? It’s almost like you never listened to the people who disagreed with you and said this is what would happen. You’ll notice the word men is doing just fine.

@DawnButlerBrent Stonewall have been misrepresenting equality law for years, to the detriment of women, inc lesbians and bisexual women. @trussliz is right to advise government departments to distance themselves That you’re making this into a popularity poll is embarrassing #LabourLosingWomen

@MaggieChapman @GOVUK Nope it’s the healthy use of an agreed mechanism to resolve conflict - which were clearly, repeatedly, articulated to you over many years You chose to ignore them so here we are If anyone is weaponing this situation it’s the SNP/Greens, confecting this mess. #DemocracyInAction
