I wrote, for @unherd, about the implications for children, young people and their parents, about the trans-capture of clinical psychology: unherd.com/2026/10/how-trans…
"Women have been raising the alarm about the misogynistic triad of pornography, sex robots, and reproductive technologies for many years.
Yet they managed to do it in a way that was critical, highlighting the commodification and dehumanization involved." nitter.cf/WomenReadWomen/status/…

We have written to @AmnestyUK in response to their report from July - A Growing Threat - which labelled LGB Christians and 50 other gender critical organisations as "anti-rights".
Our letter was written with legal assistance.
"The Report was unfair, inaccurate and defamatory of LGB Christians and seriously so.
The publication of the Report, and its calls to action, were discriminatory in purpose and in effect. The publication was a betrayal of the trust that Amnesty’s supporters have invested in it over decades and its reputation as an advocate for human rights.
The calls to action based within the report amount, very seriously, to interferences or proposed interferences with the human rights of those individuals and organisations with which it was concerned.
We consider that the report was contrary to the rules of good governance and the legal requirements imposed upon charities more generally."

A particularly gnarly porn site that got taken down for hosting videos of women and children being sexually abused while they slept was called "Motherless". That word is not random. The site logo was a silhouette of a mother holding a child's hand with a big red bar through it.
(Funny coincidence: the site was being hosted in the Netherlands)

With all due respect, but “sex worker” is not UN agreed on terminology to describe women exploited in prostitution. I hope that the simulation also addressed how she can report and access justice for the multiple forms of severe violence a woman engaged in prostitution is subjected to at the hands of buyers of sexual acts and pimps.

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’.

Utterly and profoundly depressing:
“An overwhelming 99% of the AI-generated images assessed over the past two years depicted girls compared to 78% in non AI-generated (real).”
"Violence against women and girls and child sexual abuse are inherently and deeply connected - with shared root causes like gender inequality, misogyny and power imbalances. A coordinated and joined-up response to these issues is essential," says our Senior Analyst Rosa.

After September 11, feminists around the world spoke out, wrote for newspapers, for email lists and for the Internet. But in the male-dominated mass media, it was hard to find feminist perspectives.

VROUWEN- EN HOMORECHTEN: GESLACHT DOET ER TOE
Athena Forum over de ineffectiviteit van de regenbooglobby
Marianne Driessen is bestuurslid van @AthenaForumEU, een Europese organisatie “voor op geslacht gebaseerde rechten, democratische waarden en politieke moed”. In @telegraaf pleit ze daartoe voor bewustwording bij politici en burgers, als alternatief voor de ‘regenbooglobby’ die het doel voorbijschiet.
“Nederland is een van de beste landen ter wereld om lesbisch of homoseksueel te zijn. Toch horen we steeds hoe slecht het gaat. Daarbij wordt niet verteld wat er achter die regenboog schuilgaat. Daar gaat het over de almaar uitdijende LHBTIQA+ lettercombinatie. Over gedwongen taalgebruik. Over de leer dat geslacht er niet toe doet, maar dat je wèl van geslacht kunt veranderen.”
"Wij pleiten voor een nuchtere, feitelijke benadering. Dat de nuchtere feiten niet bekend zijn bij veel politici is een ernstig probleem. Het is hoog tijd om de angstvallige stilte te doorbreken. Dat vergt inspanning en moed. Inspanning om je te verdiepen in de andere kant van het regenboogsprookje, moed om met de tegenwind in eigen gelederen om te gaan. Moed om in alle openheid de eenvoudige vraag te beantwoorden: hoeveel geslachten zijn er?"

The world No. 1 in women's tennis, Aryna Sabalenka, unleashes a devastating and unfiltered statement: "It's vital to protect fairness. Biologically, men are much stronger than women. It's not fair. It's not equality. It's not women's sports if we let biological men compete against us." She sides with Sophie Cunningham and sends a clear message: women are not going to keep staying silent while they steal our titles, podiums, and opportunities from us.

Wir leben in einem Land, indem ein vergewaltigtes Mädchen abgemahnt wird, wenn sie ihren Vergewaltiger als Mann bezeichnet. Ich verachte jeden, der dieses demütigende, frauenfeindliche Gesetz erlassen hat. @spdbt @GrueneBundestag @dieLinke @fdpbt
"Noch vor der Urteilsverkündung erhielt Felicitas P. nach eigener Aussage Post von Maja S.’ Anwalt Peter Dürr. Er „frage höflich an, ob es zutreffend ist, dass Sie Frau Schmidt am letzten Verhandlungstag als ‚er‘“ bezeichnet habe. P. sagt, sie habe darauf eine E-Mail-Antwort verfasst, in der sie beteuert habe, S. auf keinen Fall „misgendern“ zu wollen."
Meine Vermutung von vor Wochen war zutreffend. Das Mädchen wurde vom Anwalt seines Vergewaltigers unter Druck gesetzt.
Sind Sie stolz auf sich und ihr bußgeldbewehrte Offenbarungsverbot @MarcoBuschmann?

Oestrogen treatment is linked to a significantly large increase in psychiatric problems. Among gender-referred biological males who started feminising hormones, the need for specialist psychiatric care rose from 9.8% before treatment to 60.7% afterwards
