I was in Bath today; Passenger has its fleecy grip on that city. But anyway, I was there with my 10yr old for Children's Literature Festival & discovered that the Phoenix comic has a Philosophy penguin! Grooming children into Philosophy!!

Paint me a moustache & call me an evolutionary biologist! THIS is indeed the correct biological response to toddlers & the under-5s !

This is every University lecturer. Sometimes it's true; sometimes it's just our vibe. Sorry!

If you are in Bristol & want to hear these two legends talking about their new book, then watch this space. Rahila Gupta & Bea Campbell will be here in October, courtesy of UWE Public Sociology.

Shiny new book for me so I can read it properly in real life! Loving the intro already, these two don't hold back.

Up until now primary schools have been transing children as a simple solution to distress or discomfort of any kind. Good to see Labour ending this. Still, don't cut your hair short if you're a girl or wear trousers, & boys are only allowed a buzzcut & a leather jacket like the fonz.

Hang on. How are we supposed to eradicate gender identity if we don't teach children to question gender? I thought gender was a myth, but now pupils aren't allowed to question it? How will we abolish gender this way Labour??!!

Be totes fab if primary school children with 2 mums, or 2 dads, single parents or grandparent carers could feel represented but don't feel obliged! Let them carry on feeling like marginalised freaks is also fine!

Breaking news! Labour government to sneakily teach gender abolition to all children in state schools & will oppose gendered socialisation! Gender identity is not a thing! All MPs are radical gender refuseniks who get quizzed by security everyday as to what line they should be in.

Andrea Dworkin pointed out the irony of being told men are women's natural protectors, when they are the biggest danger. Whether women are put on a pedestal or a pyre, it's the same old patriarchy. Men & women are not different species, men are not naturally superior to women.

Look! The BBC have gone too far. They recruit children into the world of sexual orientation and gender identity, which is inappropriate and unnecessary.

I've been Labour for years, but left over the attack on Corbyn. I've recently joined Greens. Green manifesto is v similar to Corbyn manifesto. If you join by 31st July you can vote for new Green leader. I'm backing Zack for a popular eco-socialism & to mobilise change.

Peggy Seeger and her boys playing in Bath. Beautiful. I grew up on her music so it's always emotional, but to see the way she looks at her sons when they sing, and they her, is all just v moving. But she didn't do Reclaim the Night or Carry Greenham Home!!

Sad to read of the passing of a Radical Feminist legend, Susan Brownmiller; I was honoured to have endorsement from her on the cover of my book on Radical Feminism. Here's just one quote I love in 'Against Our Will' a fantastic book. "...if women are to cease being- a colonised protectorate of men".
