There's a myth that we've had single sex spaces for a very long time because feminists fought for them. The reality is that until very recently mixed hospital wards were common and it was actually the Daily Mail that campaigned against it.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1

Protecting single sex spaces should not be a political battle. But it does take political leadership and bravery. Miriam Cates and @RosieDuffield1 have shown courage and integrity. Ask your local candidates to #RespectMySex express.co.uk/comment/expres

You should stop what you're doing and read what the Telegraph reviewer of Hadley Freeman's book was not given space to say: 'People with anorexia deserve better than to be dragged behind Hadley Freeman’s fucking hobby horse on a road that goes fucking nowhere'

One little review by me cannot possibly capture all that is wrong with this "study and story of anorexia". Here's some of what I didn't say: medium.com/@EmmaHatred/ab

Some years ago I got to spend a wk with these folks,
@stellduffy
and some fabulous actors and writers exploring improvisation on stage and the page. It was like a new beginning for my creativity. This 2weeker looks amazing. It's £££ but there are bursaries too. ❤️🔥👇🏻🔥👇🏻🔥❤️

No. Other countries with much more successful education systems don’t have this kind of punitive regime. I would by far prefer the critical friend system of external examination that universities have, where colleagues in different institutions work together to moderate.

A reminder that people calling for the complete obliteration of Ofsted will never be content with any accountability/inspection framework. Always good to debate how inspections takes place because we need a robust/credible/reliable Ofsted, but cancelling Ofsted is for the birds.
