🚨 BREAKING: A male NHS nurse says he’s received four nominations for awards that celebrate women working in healthcare - including ‘Women’s Champion of the Year’. Jia Palis Amada said being “embraced as a woman” was already an award in itself. The awards are organised by emap - in association with Nursing Times. Helen Joyce of Sex Matters called the nominations “deeply insulting” to women. My latest for [Un]Captured. Link below 👇

Iranian man warns that Sharia law starts with unity between the left and Islam. Pay attention to what he’s saying. The same alliance between the left and Muslims that is taking place now in the West happened decades ago in Iran. That’s how Iran became an Islamic theocracy.

This is scandalous. Why would @UKLabour oppose protecting the female category in an international sporting event hosted here in the UK?
An amendment to the sporting events bill was defeated by Labour voting against it. @louie_french (and I as I suggested it in The Lords) Conservative shadow sports minister wanted int. events brought to this country to insist the female category is protected as the ioc does, & the uk Supreme Court ruling stipulates .. sadly Labour doesn’t seem to care if our girls get fair sport

Heartbreaking that MPs have allowed this to go ahead. Too many chose to look the other way. It is indeed the medical scandal of our time.
🚨226 children, some as young as 11 years old, are about to be given £500 worth of shopping vouchers by the UK Government in order to undertake a puberty blockers trial, placing them on a pathway to infertility. This is the medical scandal of our time. jamesesses.co.uk/p/state-san…

अब जाकर बांग्लादेश के दंपति की मौत की सजा के मामले पर पूरी घटनाक्रम सऊदी अरब ने सामने रखा है बांग्लादेश का एक दंपति जो पति-पत्नी थे वह उमरा करने सऊदी अरब गए मक्का की एक मस्जिद में उन्होंने नमाज अदा किया और भाव विभोर होकर एक दूसरे से गले लग गए और एक दूसरे को kiss कर लिया और यह सब करते हुए उनकी आंखों में आंसू थे जाहिर सी बात है कि उनका एक सपना पूरा हुआ था कि वह उमरा पर आए हैं तो यह उन्होंने किसी अश्लीलता की वजह से नहीं किया था बल्कि भाव विभोर होकर किया था और एक पाकिस्तानी ने उनका वीडियो बनाकर वायरल कर दिया और उनका सर कलम हो गया

Emotional moment two women blinded under Islamic regimes meeting each other for the first time. Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because she was fighting for women's rights against the Taliban. As her face burned, he told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people. I invited her to come on stage with me and talk directly to thousands of people in Poland. She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising. We are now together stepping into Jewish history in Poland, including Auschwitz, and understanding the connection between the Holocaust and the Islamic Republic’s massacre on 2026. If any of you think it’s easy to live under Islamic republic or Taliban just listened to their stories. These women are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism.

Can this horrifying report be true? 😢
Trending Story: Saudi Arabia has exe/cuted two Bangladeshi nationals, Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siri Akhtar, following conviction of immoral sexual act inside a mosque in Mecca. The “immoral act” was apparently a kiss on the forehead. They were newlyweds who decided to spend their honeymoon in Mecca. According to reports in Bangladesh, Saudi authorities refused to consider they were a couple, and the forehead kiss was an expression of appreciation to Allah for a beautiful bride. Their bodies have arrived in Bangladesh in two coffins for traditional burial rites. Follow @TrendingEx for dailies..

This is what the Conversion Practices Bill across the UK will do. Children will be taken into care. Simply because loving parents want to help them through their emotional turmoil and stop them from doing permanent damage to themselves.😭

As this heartbroken mother Transgender cult must be declared terroristic organization. It's a de@dly sect. orthochristian.com/177809.ht… It is about perversion, twisted language, flipped reality, total ignorance, aggression, violence and killing. Ca CPS took our daughter for sterilization mutilation surgeries. We are direct victims. CA CPS have been keeping our 15 year old mentally fragile daughter as hostage they took for these non humane medical experiments. We have been fighting for 2 infernal years now with 0 result. On Jul 10, 2026 the monster judge mailed us that our medical rights had been terminated. Our daughter just turned 18. Not being shown to us. Very likely on testosterone. Not sure if she is alive....This republican, yes, she's republican judge did not return her to us. Very likely she is on testosterone by now- Shasta CA judge Bigelow erased our medical rights two months prior

Schrödinger strikes again. Getting on a women’s ward is so important to him, denying him is “cruel”, but he doesn’t even think about the women in the ward. Their issue is that men might r@pe or kill them. So they needn’t bother about getting privacy, dignity or safety in a hospital ward. His feelings matter a great deal but women’s feelings don’t even feature. The theatrical sigh about the extent of male violence against women and girls. As if he gives a flying ****

Bridget Phillipson's assurance that 'refusing to accept a child's identity' will not be prosecutable under conversion practices legislation is contradicted by the bill itself, which says that 'psychological or emotional pressure' with the intention of changing 'transgender identity' could qualify as a criminal offence. How can Phillipson know how a court will interpret 'refusing to accept a child's identity' given the vague and open-ended definitions in the bill? An op-ed by a politician will be scant consolation when a parent is facing a criminal claim or a protection order that will destroy their relationship with their child. And the question remains: what 'abuse' is the bill designed to tackle that is not already an offence in law? archive.ph/BDRJN

Whatever you think about the Equality Act and the definition of “gender reassignment” therein, read this “guidance for managers” in the civil service about “non-binary colleagues” and tell me: what is anyone supposed to do with this guff? 🙄😖
Part of the new @HMRCgovuk guidance: "Supporting trans and non-binary colleagues." It's despicable & ridiculous that our Civil Service is taking such arrant nonsense seriously. If we can't back out of this, the Protected Characteristic of Gender Reassignment must be removed from the Equality Act.

I do not know how things are in other countries. But in Denmark, when I follow the coverage of the unrest in France on our two public-service television broadcasters, the explanation I keep hearing is this: France has spent years cutting back on upper secondary education. Classes are overcrowded. Add teacher shortages and excessive centralisation, and young people take to the streets. That is only half the truth. And when you peddle half the truth, you are, as we know, also peddling half a lie. Here is what can be pieced together from the French quality press and the official figures. France’s public spending per upper-secondary pupil is above the OECD average. That should complicate any account which treats a lack of money as the whole explanation. There is some truth in the criticism: some lycées have large classes, and the French education system is centralised and bureaucratic. One example worth mentioning is Parcoursup, the higher education admissions platform. I suspect it would be a strong contender in any international competition for bureaucratic opacity and unnecessary stress. But, as I have already said, this is only half the truth. The other half concerns what teachers and school leaders are being asked to endure. I admit that this is anecdotal. But recently, a math teacher from Metz described in a long and serious post on X how the teachers simply burn out at the most problematic high schools. We need to dig deeper into this constant attrition of skilled high school teachers. Why are schools being left to carry so much of the burden? French politicians are no different from politicians elsewhere in Europe. They want as many young people as possible to complete upper secondary education and go on to higher education. For the usual reasons: education is supposed to break the cycle of inherited disadvantage, while higher education is supposed to raise productivity. I find those arguments only partly convincing when these benefits are treated as automatic consequences of expanding access. In my view, France faces a problem we also know in Denmark: schools are being asked to compensate for failures of integration and basic socialisation that extend far beyond the classroom. The danger is that, instead of institutions civilising their pupils, disruptive pupils end up barbarising the institutions. No school can function properly if it is expected to tolerate young people who turn up unprepared, have no interest in learning and spend their time causing trouble and destroying the learning environment. It is hardly surprising that such conditions can wear teachers down. They cannot reasonably be expected to shoulder the entire responsibility for correcting mistakes that the French political elite has spent decades making. La France Insoumise and other radical organisations have encouraged the protests and blockades. Mélenchon has called for non-violence. However, this formal appeal for moderation appears symbolic when the LFI mayor of Saint-Denis simultaneously allows himself to be photographed among demonstrators and calls their actions justified. Le Point has meanwhile reported on mobilisation by Étudiants musulmans de France and its cooperation with RED Jeunes. The former is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood milieu in a French Interior Ministry report; the two organisations helped establish the anti-Islamophobia collective Génération EDR, whose links to the antifascist group La Jeune Garde are also described by Le Point. That is the kind of convergence I mean by Islamogauchism in practice. The flags also deserve attention. Palestinian, Moroccan and Algerian flags have appeared at some of the protests, including scenes of disorder. To me, this is another indication that, for some participants, the agenda extends beyond class sizes and school budgets. We do not yet know the full picture. But what concerns me is the apparent convergence, within parts of this movement, of several forms of radicalism: Antifa activism. Decolonial ideology. Islamogauchism. Islamist networks that have learnt from the left to speak fluent woke. That is why I do not think it entirely misplaced to speak of an “Islamogauchist intifada” when describing this radical current within the French protests. The wider protest wave has already spread to Belgium and Italy. The Danish public-service coverage I have seen gives me far too little of this side of the story. Two questions: Is it the same elsewhere in the Western world? And if so, why?

This is horrifying but please read it.
99% of women and girls in Somalia have been mutilated in the following way: the clitoris is cut off, along with the inner labia. Then the inner flesh of the outer labia is removed before both sides are sewn tightly together, leaving a hole no bigger than a matchstick for urine and menses to trickle through. All of this is done in childhood, and without any form of anesthesia whatsoever. Sometimes the little girl is given a scrap of leather or a stick to bite down on. The cutters use old razor blades, or sometimes a piece of broken glass. This is only the beginning of a girl’s pain. Most wedding nights in Somalia are aided by “the little knife” — that is, the new husband slices his bride open so that he can penetrate her now cut and bleeding scar tissue. Some men, however, simply batter their way through, tearing that tiny hole open by sheer force. When a woman goes into labor, she’s cut open more widely, then sewn back up afterwards so that when sex resumes she will have to be cut open yet again. This practice leads to countless deaths from infection and a drastic increase in maternal mortality, but Somali men still refuse to marry uncut women, forcing mothers to have their daughters cut or face social stigma. Uncut girls are seen as dirty; the term for clitoris is a playground taunt in Somalia, and girls who are not cut are usually ostracized by their peers. The Somali government recently debated the legality of this appalling custom, and the parliament largely split along gender lines. Female MPs roundly condemned FGM, while male MPs insisted that having a clitoris made a woman more difficult to penetrate, and quoted the hadith in which Muhammad condoned the practice. These are educated men who nevertheless claim that cutting a girl is necessary in order to control her sexuality, and that an uncut woman will be promiscuous and untrustworthy. In spite of the Somali government’s continued support for FGM, foreign aid continues to flow into Somalia unobstructed. The West should refuse to give the Somali government so much as a single dollar until they outlaw FGM and take positive steps to combat the problem. One tactic that has been highly successful involves showing Somali men a video of a girl being mutilated. Because FGM is seen as women’s business, most men have no idea what it entails. Men who watch this video are horrified, and the most common reaction has been “Not my daughter!” This proves that FGM is not hopelessly entrenched in Somali culture. Western pressure and resources could make an enormous difference in the lives of Somali women and girls, and put a stop to this barbaric practice.

2007: Brittany Spears shaved her head as an act of rebellion, and was put in a psychiatric hospital. 2026: "Elliott" Page tells people she's a man, cuts her breasts off, and is celebrated for it. Think about that.
