- Yesterday I faced dreadful abuse on Twitter, including being likened to a worker in a Nazi death camp. Later a campaign was started to report me to my professional association. Why? Because I'm a scientist & I don't think people can change their sex. I'm also human; this hurts.
- Replying to @MavenOfMayhem and @jk_rowling.@jk_rowling knows that magic belongs in works of fiction. Sadly, too many people have bought into the idea that magic is real & we really can change our sex. It's caused all sorts of problems for society, and trans people in particular. We need better. Please join my campaign.
- Replying to @tomhfhFirst hand experience here, Tom. I've been through the whole thing - hormones, GRS, the lot. I can assure you that I remain as biologically male as when I started. As such I have no place in women's sports. And nor should anyone else in my position.
- Replying to @MayorofLondonSir, you are Mayor of London. This is the truth: • Transwomen are male; • Women are female; • Male is not female; ∴ Transwomen are NOT women. I am telling you this as a transwoman. Rather than reciting dogma, please improve services for trans people.Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. All gender identities are valid. #LGBTHistoryMonth
- Replying to @MaraWilson and @jk_rowlingYes we do love her back. Trans people appreciate @jk_rowling's courage in speaking out against an authoritarian ideology that oppresses women, gay people and trans people. We need to return to reality. Sex is real and it is immutable.
- By me for @spectator: "Gervais might be privileged – he joked about that as well in his set – but he uses his position to speak truth to power. Trans activist ideology has run unchecked for too long, and it is time to call it to account."
- Letter to The Times from me and 15 others: "As transsexual people, we deplore the continuing attacks on Professor Kathleen Stock." ... thetimes.co.uk/article/30b30c…
- India Willoughby not only deliberately misgendered me; Willoughby called for my premature demise.
JK Rowling deliberately misgenders trans activist India Willoughby independent.co.uk/arts-entertain… - Replying to @richmarr @jk_rowling and @duncanmHi Richard. Thanks for your support of trans people like me. However - with respect to @jk_rowling - belief in magical thinking is not helping our mental health. Sex is real, it is binary and it is immutable.
- Hi Kate, I am a transsexual and I disagree with you. Kemi Badenoch is not attacking trans people. Rather she is opposing an ideology that has damaged the rights of women, undermined the safeguarding of children, and set back the acceptance of transsexuals.It's disgusting that Kemi Badenoch is using last minute parliamentary statements to push dangerous changes, attacking trans people & seeking a permanent culture war LGBTQ+ ppl have been betrayed by Govt & hate crime has sky-rocketed. Language matters They must stop stoking hate
- We are speaking most of the time, it seems to me. Our rights, are secure; you can stop panicking, Katy.
- Christmas time: "Peace on Earth, and Goodwill to All Men" ? 🙄🤷♂️
