💥so pleased to see this report on illiberal, anti-feminist goings-on in publishing. 🫡 to Matilda Gosling SEEN in Publishing Sex Matters for doing it. I worked on newspaper books pages for a decade & like many people care A LOT about world of 📚

Violence against women is sex-based. Eg in conflict zones, pregnant women are explicitly targeted, face specific risks. Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls is absolutely right that denying this, in favour of trendy idea that identity is what matters, is dangerous
New IOC president Kirsty Coventry says IOC members now back protecting the female category. “There was overwhelming support that we should protect the female category. We will set up a working group made up of experts and international federations." theguardian.com/sport/2025/jun…






I second this. Met Michele Moore for first time last week. It's so upsetting how much she & other brave women lost, because they pushed back against idea of innate 'gender identity' distinct from sex - requiring *children* to undergo medical body modification
