- JK Rowling under fire for following a 'proud transphobe' on Twitter - PinkNews If this awful pile on @jk_rowling gets some people to watch @MagdalenBerns on twitter then that’s good Listen to @MagdalenBerns before you accept the slurs
- This is what cancellation means for countless women who defend sex-based rights “My life has been torn apart. It drove me to a breakdown, I lost my confidence and, worst of all, I began to doubt myself” #SexMatters @oxfamgb
- Replying to @millihillIt is gut wrenching. But report on legal persecution of Kate Harris, @BevJacksonAuth and @AllianceLGB by Mermaids and Bad Law Project is currently most viewed article in @guardian. Surely we are reaching tipping point? Sending love and support, Milli xx
- Does @Girlguiding have a social media policy because if it allows adult leaders to post images and texts like these it is not fit for purpose? Would @Baroness_Nichol be able to take this up? 4w.pub/trans-identifi…

- Replying to @babybeginnerThis tweet is that kicked started the vilification of JK. I faced a disciplinary panel at work after a complaint I retweeted this post. Luckily for me, the panel wasn’t packed with TRAs and accepted I was legitimately defending women’s sex based rights under EQA 2010.
- Replying to @DorianlynskeyYou have absolutely no idea of how much feminists are heartened by Graham Linehan’s indefatigable support for women’s rights when there has been a concerted and vicious attempt to prohibit using even the language of sex based rights.
- 5 years ago I faced university investigation for retweeting famous tweet by @jk_rowling Anyone else? I convinced panel that all my tweets were legitimate defence of female rights under equality legislation Sadly didn’t lead university to defend free speech for staff & studentsFive years ago today and my only regret is that I didn't speak out sooner. To every girl and woman who's paid a heavy price for fighting to retain their rights and boundaries, to every person striving to halt an appalling medical experiment on minors, I salute you. We will win.
