If it weren't for a supermarket security guard persuading a woman to make a complaint against Pelicot for up-skirting, his horrific crimes would not have come to light.
While we celebrate the courage of Gisele Pelicot, let's also rethink our approach to 'minor' sex crimes.

- Investigation finds that potentially career-ending allegations about Sandie Peggie made by transgender identifying doctor are 'unlikely' to be true. Who'd have guessed? @nhsfife's treatment of this dedicated and courageous nurse has been despicable
- Women and girls in Afghanistan have no rights, no voice, no education, no healthcare, no safety or liberty. But Jos Butler says cricket players "haven't really worried too much about it" He has two daughters, but no shame
- This is so shocking I had to check it was true. It is. Five years was added to Cathleen Quinn's sentence after she raised concerns about a man who is housed in a women's prison. Five years for asking the state to ensure her safety and dignity. Let that sink inCathleen Quinn is a political prisoner held by the state of CA for daring to say she didn’t feel safe being housed with intact men. She was 3 weeks away from her release. And the state revoked her parole. It’s important that folks understand Cathleen was punished so harshly
00:00 - I suspect I'm not alone in having no sympathy for @reallorraine. She avoids tax by claiming to be an act, and accused @Docstockk of transphobia for defending women's rights. She put the feelings of cross-dressing men ahead of her core audience of women
- There is something seriously wrong with NHS priorities when victims of FGM are denied reconstructive surgery — but individuals who are gender dysphoric are afforded 'gender affirming' surgeries
- It's odd that the BBC has used a very soft-focus (some might say out of focus) image of the male doctor, but a sharp one of Sandie Peggie. Why not use a sharp image of Upton, too? Or has the BBC doctored the image in order to flatter to deceive?
- So many young women don't realise how relatively recently the rights they take for granted were won.In 1971, Joan Shenton reported for the @BBC on the 1860 ‘Refreshment Houses Act’, a law that prevented unaccompanied women from buying a coffee after midnight- in case they were prostitutes. Joan filmed herself being refused service in ‘Wimpy’ cafes in the capital
- On the left is the image of Dr Upton used by @BBCNews. On the right is the image used by @YahooNews. Notice anything?
- Hey @adamhillscomedy @TheLastLeg what's your position on able-bodied athletes identifying as disabled to compete in the Paralympics? Given your position on males competing in women's competition I assume that would all be fine and dandy #SaveWomensSports #TheLastLeg
- Can we please stop referring to 'gender tests'. They are sex tests. Women, i.e. females, have XX chromosomes. Men, i.e. males, have XY chromosomes. Two male boxers have been selected as 'women' by countries which value medals more than women. Call it out for the abuse it is
- Evil transphobe pays millions in tax. What a shocker. Meanwhile Daniel Radcliffe paid £456k on turnover of £7.3m ok.co.uk/lifestyle/harr… Rupert Grint was caught trying to avoid £1.8m in tax news.sky.com/story/harry-po… and Emma Watson hides her £ in Panama bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…JK Rowling paid more than £47 million tax last year. All those who abuse her on here on a daily basis would do well to remember that.
- A doctor expresses regret for removing women's ovaries without consent, and behaviour which amounts to sexual assault. But he's said sorry so he is still deemed fit to practice. Madness. Utter misogyny and madness
