“Complicating the matter yet further is the Conversion Practices Bill, which will criminalise any attempt to instigate conversations around sexual orientation and gender. In other words, it will criminalise those psychologists who attempt to prompt deeper thinking in minors who are gender confused.”

🚨 NEW: “St Hilda’s College takes seriously the duty to protect and promote freedom of expression within the law.”
The response three female former Oxford University students received - after complaining about male biochemistry lecturer Matt Rattley wearing large prosthetic breasts at work.
“We urge you to take immediate action,” they wrote to the college’s principal, Dame Sarah Springman, in May, raising concerns about sexual harassment.
A parent and a member of the public who separately raised concerns say they received no reply.
Asked how the complaints were handled, both Oxford University and St Hilda’s said they had nothing further to add to their previous statements.
I’ve published the correspondence and their responses in [Un]Captured.

I’ve gained almost 26K followers overnight on X. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming in the best way possible 🫶 WOW.
I want to show the world how insidious gender ideology is, save kids from this madness, and educate people about the permanent consequences of medical transition.
I am what’s known as a detransitioner. I spent 7 years identifying as a man and medically transitioning. In June 2025, I announced that I would be detransitioning back to my actual female sex.
My life has never been the same since walking away from trans. Look at how profoundly unhappy I look as a “trans man.” That’s not me. That’s me hiding from myself.
Embracing womanhood and biological reality has cost me everything. I’d do it all over again. There’s nothing worth more than truth, reality, and embracing who God made you 🙏

The primary cause of the gender wage gap? Motherhood.

This afternoon our Vice Chair, Dermot Kehoe, gave evidence at the Joint Committee on the draft Conversion Practices bill.
Parents should never feel afraid to tell their child “I don’t believe you’re born in the wrong body… but I do believe you’re my gay son and I support you in that”.

🧵🇬🇧 The Chilling Effect
Research involving 30 mental-health professionals, including @Genspect founder Dr Stella O’Malley, found that almost half of UK interviewees would stop, or consider stopping, working with gender-distressed patients if passed.
There will be a profound chilling effect on professionals working in this field. The draft Conversion Practices Bill is criminalising conversations. 1/2

“If my husband takes my phone away from me because he doesn’t want me contacting people, that’s coercive control. If I do that to my child, that maybe responsible parenting”
Well said @HJoyceGender! #BinTheBill

A shocking report by @buttonslives uncovering a massive network of activist organizations involved in a fraudulent medical scheme designed to circumvent state and federal laws against medically transitioning minors.
A must-read. ⬇️
NEW UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: I spent several months investigating a nationwide network of advocacy organizations and medical providers helping families continue medically transitioning their children in defiance of state laws.
My investigation centers on Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE), an LGBT advocacy nonprofit that connects families with cooperating medical providers across the country. CSE has distributed over $1 million in travel grants to more than 1,200 families, plus another $1 million to partner organizations, including funding for medical appointments.
With CSE's knowledge, providers in its referral network told me the ways that they circumvent state restrictions on gender-transition treatments for minors.
Some discussed using alternative diagnosis codes, such as “endocrine disorder,” to facilitate prescriptions or insurance coverage. Others described mailing medications directly to families' homes or sending prescriptions to pharmacies in states where these interventions are banned.
Providers also discussed conducting virtual appointments with patients in those states. Others required patients to cross state lines for telehealth but did not appear to have a reliable method for verifying their physical location.
My primary undercover scenario involved an 11-year-old girl in Tennessee who had only recently begun identifying as nonbinary, with no long history of gender-related distress. The providers I shared this scenario with seemed eager to treat her. Many indicated that puberty blockers could be prescribed after an initial evaluation lasting just one to several hours.
My investigation uncovered practices that may violate state and federal laws and pose medical risks to children living hundreds or thousands of miles from their treating physicians.

I want you all to know this.
There are 650 MPs in Parliament. Yet the one MP chosen by @UKLabour to Chair the Bill Committee for the controversial, dangerous and dismally bad draft legislation, the Conversion Practices Bill, is Alex Barros-Curtis. Until July 2024, when Alex was given a very safe Labour seat in Cardiff, he was the Head of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in London. This was a department set up to investigate complaints against members of the Labour Party. Complaints of antisemitism, Islamophobia, abuse, and of course latterly, mostly women holding legally-protected 'Gender Critical' (sex realist) beliefs. Alex oversaw the investigation of hundreds of members who liked or tweeted gender critical or feminist views. I was one of them. He investigated me, as a sitting Labour MP, for 13 months.
13 months to 'investigate' one like of one tweet. I had a great lawyer, one of the names we're all now familiar with, and I had to crowdfund to pay for his (excellent) work.
They first tried in 2020. But the screenshots crudely attached to that passive aggressive, threatening-sounding email from LP admin staff were so risible that I replied that it was too ridiculous for me to waste my precious time on. They left it. Years of Starmer bumbling and stuttering through interviews about whether he had spoken to me, whether he supported me, etc followed. My feminist sins continued apace.
And then I 'liked' a tweet by my GC comedian friend @Glinner. He had mocked Eddie'Suzy' for comparing his choice to wear traditional women's clothing, fake plastic breasts and nails, to those being persecuted by the Nazis during WWII. I found his sarcasm, as a award-winning comedy writer in the face of such offensive narcissism amusing and so 'liked' it. I found it absurd and obscene that Izzard, an extremely privileged and wealthy man, who openly changed his 'gender' at will, should write himself into history falseley as someone who would have been oppressed due to a circumstance beyond his control. We all know the groups who were tortured, starved and killed...
There is obviously more to my story, I will tell it all, it's just one chapter of the years of spiteful abusive and bullying practices meted out to me by the Labour Party managers. Not those who'd achieved office on merit, or even unexpectedly, but those in the club, often having failed to be elected themselves.
So Barros-Curtis who we were repeatedly told led 'the many *independent* inquiries into women members and MPs like me, now often stands as a trans-rights activist on the Labour backbenches. He has also been gifted the role of Chair of this Committee and is a huge supporter of this Bill. And I am not a part of the Bill Committee, although plenty of TRA MPs are. Does that sound like the democratic scrutiny of legislation to you?

I’ve now been contacted by numerous people about the ‘Boob Man of Oxford’.
Those who work or study at Oxford have asked for anonymity, so I can’t share identifying details. But some common themes have emerged:
- Unsurprisingly, women describe feeling uncomfortable about a male lecturer wearing what appear to be oversized prosthetic breasts in their place of work or study
- Some question whether there is a sexual element or whether it is a ‘power play’. These are their concerns, rather than established explanations for his behaviour - but are legitimate concerns nonetheless
- They say they’re afraid to raise concerns because he is surrounded by ‘allies’, including staff, who defend his appearance as 'self-expression'
One source has even wondered whether this is an elaborate stunt to embarrass the university - along the lines of Josh Seiter, who pretended to be a trans woman as an 'experiment'. Another source says this has been going on for three years - which does seem a long time to keep up the act.
There is interest in covering this in the mainstream press. What would help now is more documentary evidence: complaint letters, responses or correspondence showing how concerns have been handled.
My inbox is open: [email protected]. Happy to have a confidential chat about any aspect of this. All messages treated in confidence.

The CAF-commissioned independent investigation into Cambridge University’s appointment of Jason Arday is now up and running, and needs the assistance of those who know Cambridge best.
We strongly encourage current and former academics, students and other members of the University community, as well as others with relevant knowledge, to come forward with information.
This might include policy documents, internal correspondence or first-hand accounts concerning Arday’s academic record, his appointment and subsequent time at Cambridge, the University’s response to concerns about his scholarship and its treatment of those who raised them, and the development and application of institutional policies relating to recruitment, promotion, academic misconduct, research integrity and equality, diversity and inclusion.
Anyone wishing to contribute can contact the Investigator directly at:
[email protected]
The website provides further guidance on submitting information, including arrangements for particularly sensitive material:
ardayinvestigation.net/
This is a rare opportunity to bring matters long discussed behind closed doors, amongst trusted colleagues, into the light. Those who have witnessed decisions or practices that they believe warrant scrutiny, but have hitherto felt unable to raise their concerns through official channels, can now contribute to an investigation independent of the University.
Please help us spread the word and ensure this appeal reaches as many Cambridge academics and others with relevant knowledge as possible.

As long as I have breath in my body I will keep saying that men like Matt Ratley - and the men who support them - are deeply weird individuals who have found a way to make women feel uncomfortable while being applauded by other deeply weird individuals in the name of ‘inclusivity’.

Presumably @UniofOxford is more frightened of being sued by Rattley than by all the students he is harassing by teaching them while wearing vast prosthetic breasts. A peek at their risk register would be interesting.

This apology from disability charity Scope, for cancelling my choir’s London Marathon performance because of my gender-critical views, is required to stay on its website for seven days.
Today is Day 6.
Women don’t always get the apologies they deserve. So I’d be grateful if you could help make sure this one is seen by sharing it over the next 24 hours (link below). 🙏
Thanks again to @SpeechUnion for supporting my legal case and helping secure this apology.

Now let's imagine that he turned up to work with a huge prosthetic penis.
Would @UniofOxford be so sanguine?
Men fetishising women's breasts is creepy and should never be acceptable in the workplace!
“We expect everyone involved in teaching to maintain appropriate professional standards and to treat students with respect.”
That was Oxford University's response when [Un]Captured asked about a male tutor wearing giant prosthetic breasts to work.
Biochemistry lecturer Matt Rattley has kicked off the autumn term with new photos wearing his infamous ‘norks’ - including one in a lecture theatre with students.
The university declined to discuss individual personnel matters.

“Proponents of surrogacy say that the birth mother is paid for her “services,” but this is blatantly untrue. If she miscarries or has an abortion, she will most likely not be paid. It is the product—namely, the child—that she is paid for.”
Another excellent piece from @FairerSexFD, this time from veteran feminist campaigner Renate Klein; a comprehensive update on Australia’s #lawreform as well as a clear summary of what human rights actually exist, as opposed to the claims made of there being a human right to a baby. (TLDR: there isn’t.)
So thrilled to see the controversial practice of #surrogacy being exposed in this journal for sexual realist feminism.

Do Jewish people get to bring their 'whole selves' to work? Or gender critical women? Or socially conservative ethnic minorities? Apparently not.
Let's just say it... In 2026, 'inclusion' masks misogyny and racism. Links ⬇️
