The idea that a would-be male rapist is going to dress as a woman for 3 months to get a GRC is laughable. That's why Rape Crisis Scotland, Women’s AID Scotland & Zero Tolerance Scotland support the gender reform bill. They reject fiction & scaremongering!

Aged 17, I had a relationship with an older man who was my senior at work I was not groomed or abused. We remain life-long best friends Such power imbalance relationships are not automatically abusive. Some might be & that is wrong. Others are not

How many people wait longer than 12 hours on a trolley for an EMERGENCY hospital bed? January 2011: 17 people. January 2024: 54,308 people That's what 13 years of Tory rule has done to #NHS - #SOSNHS FOLLOW @keepnhspublic Via @lee_georgina

I'm going to protest the King’s coronation on Sat 6 May The unelected monarchy symbolises elitism, privilege & deference It is incompatible with democracy. Will you protest too? If yes, sign up here FOLLOW @RepublicStaff for an elected head of state

Trans critics are by far the most abusive on my social media Worse than the far right I post politely. They respond with grotesque abuse & violent threats Their abuse & threats will never stop me speaking out for human rights for EVERYONE - even for my critics

Thanks for your kind wishes on my 71st birthday today. It has been a long journey since I first began campaigning 56 years ago, in 1967, aged 15 I plan to carry on for another 24+ years. So many wrongs still need putting right! Justice, peace, freedom & equality for all!

At the #KillTheBill London march now. Anti-protest bill will give UK police draconian powers similar to Russian & Hong Kong police. The Home Secretary will be able to criminalise peaceful protests without parliamentary approval. We say NO! NEVER!

The cost of my 51 yrs of human rights activism: 300+ far right violent assaults, 50 attacks on my flat, including arson & a bullet through my front door. It was like living through a civil war. My @Channel4News 'Ways to change the world' interview. WATCH:

Royals are fuelling conspiracy theories with their secrecy & dishonesty about Kate Kate could kill the gossip by meeting a few press & TV. Why won't she? Abdominal surgery does not require a near two week stay in hospital & three months recovery. FISHY

Tomorrow, 25 Jan, is my 68th birthday & 53 years of human rights activism. It's been such an honour to have supported so many deserving, successful causes. Thanks to everyone who supported me through the tough times when I was demonised & subjected to many violent assaults x
