"What started as a debate for political anoraks & activists...has now become entirely mainstream. Ordinary women are simply fed up of being asked to “suck it up” regarding biological men in their changing rooms, public toilets..." Rob Marchant writes⬇️ labour-uncut.co.uk/2025/07/22/lab…

'There are still more governing bodies in Britain which allow males to play in female categories than those which ban them.' Sports organisations are still failing women, writes Joan Smith 👇 buff.ly/tV7Pg1o

Thanks to everyone who came to my discussion of Roman women with @leahbroad at Buxton International Festival yesterday. It was really good to meet and talk to members of the audience afterwards.
