If you're a woman who finds herself in a legal fight to protect your sex based rights, this is a good place to find support. Everyone's rights matter. But women's, lesbian & gay rights have been under threat in recent years & we have to protect them. jkrwf.org

With #Pride #PrideMonth #Pride2025 starting next Sunday, I wrote this piece for Sunday Independent. I'm not sure why the words 'Street 66' got changed to 'Another popular venue' in the edit, but there we are. The replies on this are going to be golden.😂 independent.ie/opinion/john-b…

I'm really touched by all the positive messages I received following my Sunday Independent piece, both online & directly. Sorry I can't answer each one individually but it's great to see that, outside of the usual clowns, most people feel as I do. Have a great week!❤️

My Pride article was behind a paywall. (Only fair as journalists should get paid for their work.) But I must THANK India Willoughby for reproducing it in full to all his followers & saying his favourite part was acknowledging the universal praise of Cass Report. Thanks India❤️

A very interesting article that contains a line that many would do well to reflect on: "It dawned on me that some members of the transgender-rights movement did not seem to understand that women have human rights too." Simply put, but absolutely true. telegraph.co.uk/gift/62e3b08a0…

Travelled to Cavan to meet my grand-nephew for the first time and picked up a hitchhiker along the way. He wasn't very chatty. 🤷‍♂️

If I know one thing about women's sports, it's that before taking to the track, court or pitch, every girl or woman covers her face in garish make-up & slathers her mouth with lipstick. I mean, you want to look pretty, right? Martina Navratilova #SaveWomensSports telegraph.co.uk/athletics/2025…

D-List former pop singer encourages a crowd to engage in hate speech against another woman, betraying her own sex and LGB people, in a brave attempt to appear relevant and maybe get a solo record deal. independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
