    I'm excited to announce that my next book, The Body Myth, will be published by @HQstories this July in hardback, audio and ebook. This will be my fifth non-fiction book and I have to say I think it's my favourite cover of the five! You can preorder it anywhere from today!

    Message I just received: "I'm 37 weeks pregnant and every single online antenatal course says 'birthing people'. It really annoys me because this is the most womanly I've ever felt."

    Message sent to me: "Last year I lost twins - so I find the term “birthing parent” deeply upsetting, as I never birthed them - but I will always be their mother. The term 'mother' may be the only thing mothers of stillborn babies have left."

    One of the only surviving founders of breastfeeding organisation La Leche League has written a letter of resignation today, citing LLL's insistence on including 'breastfeeding men'. Marian Tompson is in her 90s and warns us we are losing our way. Link in my bio or on the tile.

    I am not a Christian, far right, or in any way narrow minded but when I see men with fake breasts & heels 'performing' what they see as 'woman', I do just feel a bit insulted really. I'm 49. I've had 3 kids. Being a woman is complex and, at times, hard. Not something to mock. 🤷‍♀️

    The number of WOMEN falling over themselves to say Lia Thomas should be allowed to compete in the women's category ASTONISHES me. I will never get over it. #SaveWomensSports #penncheats

    Yesterday you were a 'bleeding body', today you are the 'partner with eggs'. Eddie, however, is a 'woman'.

    Seems like a good day to share my exposé of the BBC's report that supported the idea that male 'milk' was just as good for babies as women's breast milk. I looked at the evidence behind the claims and found the BBC had got their facts completely wrong. millihill.substack.com/p/dear-bbc-you…

    Replying to @TheLancet and @WHO
    Honestly can't believe that you can't see what's happening here. You're telling us that you've noticed that for hundreds of years you've neglected and overlooked women...and then...in the same breath..you are unable to name those people you've been ignoring. Why can't you see it?

    Every single tweet I've seen that's attempting to criticise the lunch with @jk_rowling is about how the women there look or dress.

    Now can we talk about why kids with gender issues are overwhelmingly teen girls yet the trans activists are overwhelmingly middle aged trans identifying males, & how curious it is that these 2 groups are lumped together under the 'trans umbrella' yet have nothing in common 1/2

    Last Nov I expressed the view that obstetric violence is violence against women. It happens to women 'because they are female'. The resulting pile on was horrific. I've finally decided to tell my story and shine a light on this misogynistic bullying.

    Metro have now deleted this tweet but 'sadly' we've all now seen their open misogyny.
