Julie Bindel is so much of a feminist that she had lunch with Jennifer Lahl who doesn't think women should spend their "fertile years" having a career.

A photo of Julie Bindel and Jennifer Lahl with a caption that reads "is this you, having lunch with Jennifer Lahl of the Heritage Foundation Julie.
Why were you doing that"

Section of an article from Forbes magazine dated 03, 2024.

It reads. "In a piece decrying the falling fertility rate, founder of the anti-abortion Center for Bioethics and Culture Network Jennifer Lahl criticizes women having children at older ages and “spending a large portion of their most fertile years building their careers,” as well as in vitro fertilization and using egg donors or surrogates—writing, “We need to stop practices that may bring harm to others: the children born from high-tech pregnancies as well as the women who are exploited for their healthy reproductive capacities.”

So if you're opposed to lower, safer speed limits, then who out of your family would you be happy to sacrifice so you can drive to work 30 seconds sooner?

20's Plenty for Us @20splenty.bsky.social · 1h

In Wales, Cornwall, Edinburgh, London and so many places when most 30mph roads were changed to 20mph, people injured or killed by motor vehicles reduced by 20%+. With minimal change to journey times and £2bn saving in insurance costs it's a huge win. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

transkids deserve better!!

TRANSPHOBIA

ALL OUT AGAINST !!

All out against transphobia! On Saturday, November 1, TERFS intend to march in London, demanding trans exclusionary, discriminatory legislation, and threatening trans people on our streets.

We cannot let this happen unchallenged- they may have been emboldened by the Supreme Court Ruling, but so have we. Just a few days after ruling, we marched through Westminster to express our rage, be with community, and make it clear that we would continue to fight for trans liberation. That march was only the start.

We need as many people possible out again on the first of November, to show up for collective liberation and show the TERFS that they will never divide us. less

1/🧵 As a trans lawyer, I say that @zackpolanski.bsky.social gave the legally and politically perfect answer.

“Of course they’re wrong. Their job is to look at what has been legislated for. The legislation is wrong and we should get back to parliamentarians who actually stand by trans people.”

I think it is important for people to understand that the UK in 2025 is more transphobic now than they were in 1394 (700 years ago) when they arrested and subsequently released Eleanor Rykener in a similar case as this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John/El...

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

So i wrote a little thing for @divamag.bsky.social to get everyone ready for the reopening of Parliament next week, and up to speed on the status of the imminent ‘trans bathroom ban’ (that also hurts cis women), and what you can do about it.

🚦Get your trans-ally engines ready…

Parliament’s back – and so is the fight for trans rights

“Parliament may be back, but so are those determined to defend equality. If this summer proved anything, it’s that the movement for trans rights never took a break”

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Reform are trying to bring 🍊💩’s policies here. They are funded by the ultra religious & far right Heritage Foundation. The numbers of women & babies dying in the US since they enacted their abortion ban has shot up. For the sake of the lives of the women & girls in your life do not vote for Reform

These figures are a f*cking fraud.

For years now the police have run a secret policy to refuse to deal with any report of online crimes motivated by hatred of trans people.

Trans people have been fully aware of this, and have lost all trust in the police and

SEEN Police Official Open Public Network @seenpoliceuk.bsky.social · 1d

SEEN Police UK state the drop in number of hate crimes against trans people is fraud, as GMP are taken to Judicial Review after a secret policy of refusing to deal with ANY reports of hate crimes against trans people is obtained.

Trans Pride Brighton @transpridebrighton.bsky.social · 20h

3/7 We’re already seeing trans-exclusionary activists weaponise this moment to portray themselves as victims while they platform hate. They drape themselves in suffragette colours, celebrating a movement built on militant direct action, yet condemn trans people for refusing to quietly accept abuse.
