So far I've learned from this series: 1. Some people really don't like it when women say no 2. They believe women exist purely to validate men and their delusions 3. Woman's Hour needed the Supreme Court's permission to acknowledge that the word "woman" has a specific definition

BBC Woman's Hour @BBCWomansHour

Over the next few weeks we’ll be hearing different perspectives on the recent Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of a woman under the Equality Act. We’ll look at the practical questions it raises for organisations, businesses and individuals. Starting today from 10 ⬇️ https://t.co/3smVJV1Chc

I can only hope that James O’Brien, Alastair Campbell, John Oliver and all the other men who dismiss the need for female-only spaces read this

This, by one of the Darlington nurses is heartbreaking (CW: CSA) Women should not have to tell these stories to get the basic dignity that is their right under workplace health and safety law. https://t.co/aVRr55dZlB

RT @Suntimes: Today's front page. https://t.co/0JL9vCHAX3

And this was a finalist for a Pulitzer this year. An article -by a man - claiming that criticism of male athletes in women’s sport is merely a fig leaf for saying trans people shouldn’t exist https://t.co/NDt3QftJLo https://t.co/7a5wOGUlRz

REDUXX @ReduxxMag

A Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to @esquire for publishing an article memorializing an Alabama mayor who committed suicide after being "outed" as "transgender." The article does not mention that F.L. Bubba Copeland fantasized about killing local women. https://t.co/2XTzB8KtQs

This is such a devastating piece

Will Pavia @willpavia

I talked with Kelsey Grammer about piecing together the awful details of his sister’s murder, and about a glimpse of heaven, from a surfboard: ‘I looked up and saw the sun through the wave… It was an awareness suddenly that, oh, I’m in heaven already.’ https://t.co/UOkZVeexr6

Yup. We now know how some male doctors apparently talk about women’s bodies thanks to eg This is Going to Hurt - and then we’re called misguided old prudes for wanting female-only spaces

Janice Turner @VictoriaPeckham

Thank you, Hadley. It feels toxic now to argue women have any specific needs at all. Even those acknowledged decades ago when the NHS breast cancer screening prog began. Our culture values "lived experience" above all else – unless it is that of women, especially older ones.
