New UK health proposal bans men from women's dressing rooms after nurses are accused of needing to be 're-educated' on gender



A group of nurses have drafted guidance for the National Health Service that would prevent men who believe they are women from entering women's dressing rooms.

The policy guidance was requested by the health secretary for the United Kingdom, Wes Streeting.

The nurses said they were forced to share a dressing room with a male staff member who allegedly identifies as a woman. When the nurses raised concerns to their human resources department, the women were told they needed to be "re-educated" on the topic, they alleged.

The group of women have since taken their employers to a tribunal over sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.

Calling the proposed changes "common sense," the nurses assert there should be no "hierarchy" in regard to equality laws, and therefore the rights of men who believe they are women should not be prioritized over actual women.

Bethany Hutchinson, one of the proposal's authors, said she hoped to "set a precedent for all public services and workplaces in the U.K."

"We believe that as frontline NHS nurses directly impacted by these issues, we are well-placed to help politicians understand what is happening and what must change urgently," Hutchison added, according to GB News.

Conservative Party member Claire Coutinho told the Telegraph that "women should not be patronized, belittled, or ignored" when raising concerns about not wanting to change with men.

"[This] shocking case shows what can happen when institutions prioritize their commitment to an ideology above safety. Their fight for fairness has my full support," Coutinho decried.

'We should simply not be forced to get undressed in front of a man.'

"Discrimination or harassment related to one characteristic may never be justified by the need to protect another characteristic," the document, delivered to the government in November, reportedly stated.

The nurses further wrote that legal requirements relating to sex and gender "must take priority" and the term "sex" must refer to "biological" sex.

While the nurses wrote sympathetically about treating transgender people with "respect and sensitivity," they declared that women's spaces are not "communal spaces" whose functions should include transgender people.

The document reinforced that the issue at hand is "protecting women's spaces."

"'Gender identity' is not a protected characteristic, and we should simply not be forced to get undressed in front of a man. We continue to be astonished at how our rights on this issue continue to be breached and discriminated against," the women continued.

"We are not transphobic," the women declared. The nurses added that their new policies would give "transexuals" a private space to change without impacting the rights of women.

Girl with suspected autism punished by UK 'Serious Case Panel' for asking trans soccer opponent with beard, 'Are you a man?'



A girl with suspected autism was punished by a so-called National Serious Case Panel in the United Kingdom for asking a bearded transgender soccer opponent, "Are you a man?" the Telegraph reported.

The 17-year-old cried when the panel found her guilty of “discrimination” for her remarks during a match against a trans-inclusive team, the Telegraph added.

'The FA has declared open season on women and girls in football with its disastrous policy, which means that no one can question a male player participating in a women’s game.'

The outlet — citing a previous report in Telegraph Sport — said it was the "latest case to cause outrage over the Football Association’s policy of allowing those born male to play in the women’s game."

The girl's county Football Association charged her with saying, “Are you a man?” as well as, “That’s a man," and “Don’t come here again,” or similar comments, the Telegraph said.

She was banned for six matches, four of which were suspended, after a three-hour hearing last week during which she denied expressing transphobia at the "friendly" game in July, the outlet noted.

The girl also wept during a 30-minute grilling conducted via video conference, the Telegraph said, adding that she had been facing a ban of up to 12 games.

An individual on the call said the hearing was “farcical” and added that panel members repeatedly “misgendered” the alleged victim as “he," the outlet reported, adding that the girl also was said to have been repeatedly asked, “How many LGBQT+ players do you have in your team?”

More from the Telegraph:

Her parents were outraged both by the hearing and the outcome, with her mother telling Telegraph Sport: “We’ve always taught our daughter to ask questions, and if she doesn’t feel comfortable or she doesn’t feel safe then she should go to somebody in charge and ask the question. In safeguarding training at places of work, you’re always told that you should question everything but she’s been told and effectively sanctioned by the FA for doing so. She asked, ‘Are you a man?’, and she admitted to that. The FA is essentially saying that no woman, when faced with what appears to be a male on the pitch, is entitled to ask a question.”

The girl’s plight had previously been cited by former FA chairman Lord Triesman, who wrote to the governing body’s current chair and chief executive last month to complain about its trans policy. The FA has continued to permit players born male to compete in female-only events, despite being urged in May by then-Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer to adopt the “unambiguous position” of a ban.

The outlet noted that Fiona McAnena — director of campaigns at Sex Matters — told Telegraph Sport: “The FA has declared open season on women and girls in football with its disastrous policy, which means that no one can question a male player participating in a women’s game. Anyone who does could find themselves suspended just for asking. Disciplining women and girls for saying what they see plainly in front of them makes a mockery of the game. The FA’s new strategy for women’s and girls’ football is worthless as long as this transgender inclusion policy is in place. How can the FA talk about a commitment to true equality in community football while undermining the rights and safety of the very players it claims to be supporting?”

The girl was brought up on charges after the opposing team lodged a complaint through Kick It Out, which is English football’s anti-discrimination watchdog, the Telegraph said, adding that the trans player and the opposing team’s captain testified that the girl was persistently transphobic.

The outlet noted it has concealed the accused girl's identity due to her age and because she's "on the assessment pathway for autism."

'I raised a concern about the risk of serious injury as a 17-year-old girl playing against a biological male who was much larger than me and a very physical player, which was possibly a safety issue as I did not want to get dangerously injured right before the start of the new season.'

The girl admitted in a written statement submitted in her defense that she asked, “Are you a man?” to a player she described as having “a beard," the Telegraph reported. She also admitted asking the referee for guidance about the player’s eligibility to participate in women’s football “given my concern for my safety after already suffering a number of overly physical challenges," the outlet added.

However, the girl repeatedly denied her words constituted transphobia, the outlet said, adding that it is understood that the game's referee heard nothing he deemed discriminatory.

More from the Telegraph:

The girl said in her written statement she had become “confused” about the participation of the trans player during the match in question as the latter “wore jewelry and sunglasses” and was not in opposition kit.

She added: “The moment the player clarified they were transgender (which I previously hadn’t considered), I respected their answer fully, dropped the situation and immediately shifted my focus back to the game before seeking guidance from the referee. At no point was my question meant to be hurtful or malicious as I only intended to seek clarity in an unfamiliar situation. Knowing now that the player was transgender, I understand that there were better ways to approach this question.”

The girl also said the opposing team's captain accosted her during a water break, telling her that she shouldn't have an issue with playing against a transgender opponent, the outlet added.

“I raised a concern about the risk of serious injury as a 17-year-old girl playing against a biological male who was much larger than me and a very physical player, which was possibly a safety issue as I did not want to get dangerously injured right before the start of the new season," the girl said, according to the Telegraph. "Despite this, I made it clear that if the player met the eligibility criteria of the FA I would respect the rules and accept the risk involved in continuing to play the match. My safeguarding officer and the referee were both present for this conversation.”

The girl added that she was “truly disheartened that these allegations have been made against me," the outlet reported, adding that she also said "I have always supported and respected the diversity within my team, including members who are in the LGBTQIA+ community.”

The Telegraph added that the girl’s mother said none of her daughter’s teammates had been approached to make statements ahead of an upcoming hearing but that they were “100 percent behind her."

According to the outlet, the Football Association decided against publishing written reasons for the case.

'Democracy is hijacked': Anti-oil activists take credit for spray-painting US Embassy in London over Trump victory, 'fascism'



Anti-oil activists allegedly vandalized the United States Embassy in London in the early hours of the morning after Donald Trump was elected president.

The activists, posting a video around 5:25 a.m. Eastern Time, said they were inspired to desecrate the building because they are fighting against big governments that they believe are controlled by oil companies.

"US Embassy painted orange as we reject fascism," the group wrote on its social media pages.

Quickly placing blame on Trump, the group called Just Stop Oil added climate change alarmism into its claim that the world is quickly spiraling into "fascism."

"This morning the world wakes to find it has slipped further into fascism as well as climate breakdown. Trump's win puts the lives of ordinary people at risk, everywhere," the group began.

"The only real winner of today's election is the corporate power that controls the major parties in both the US and UK."

The group went on to claim that Western political systems have been bought out by "big oil" despite the world facing the "biggest challenge of our time."

That challenge being climate change, of course.

'Democracy is hijacked by corporate interests and billionaires.'

The group suggested acts of civil disobedience in order to minimize the effects of "climate breakdown" and the "social collapse that follows."

"As long as democracy is hijacked by corporate interests and billionaires, it will fail to deliver the change people are crying out for. This will always leave the door open for fake populists like Trump to exploit the disaffection many feel," the statement continued.

Just Stop Oil also called for "ordinary people" to organize and create change because no "political leaders" are going to save the planet.

The activists also advocated for the disruption of "business-as-usual," which in the past has amounted to blocking roadways, interrupting sporting events, and vandalizing artwork.

In fact, two members of the activist group were recently sentenced for throwing soup on a priceless painting. In 2022, Anna Holland and Phoebe Plummer threw tomato soup at "Sunflowers," a Vincent van Gogh painting from 1888.

Just Stop Oil's orange-paint protests have failed to garner public support no matter how often they are carried out. In fact, working-class people have countered the protesters with significant resistance in recent years.

Fed-up commuters have dragged protesters out of the streets by their hair and even off the top of trains to prevent further delays in their travel.

The U.S. Embassy in London was opened in 2018 and is the largest American embassy in Western Europe.

FACT CHECK: Was A British Woman Jailed For 30 Months For Posting Hurtful Words On Social Media?

The woman was jailed for inciting racial hatred.

Glenn Beck and former UK prime minister discuss CCDH leaked documents — ‘Our governments are in cahoots!’



Depending where you are in the western hemisphere, freedom of speech is either all but gone or it’s precariously hanging in the balance, as governments try to crush the very right that has differentiated the West from other more draconian regions.

In America, Elon Musk has become the face of the movement to preserve our First Amendment. As the owner of X, a global company, Musk would like to champion free speech overseas by keeping the X platform free of government censorship.

But he’s been met with hostility from would-be totalitarians all over the world who despise him for fighting for the rights of the people.

The latest example of this is Great Britain, where leaked plans from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British nonprofit, reveal the company’s top priority — “kill Musk’s Twitter.”

What’s even more disturbing is the reality that the CCDH has strong ties to Keir Starmer, the current prime minister of the United Kingdom, and the Biden-Harris administration. The founder of the organization, Morgan McSweeney, not only played a major role in Starmer’s rise to power, he also serves as Starmer’s chief of staff. Further, McSweeney is currently meddling in American politics by gunning for Harris and Walz to win the election. The Labour Party even paid for him to attend this year’s DNC. In the United States, McSweeney’s CCDH has been meeting with lawmakers to urge legislation aimed at increasing platform regulation and censorship.

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss recently met with Glenn Beck and shared her thoughts on the leaked documents and the overall state of both the U.K. and U.S.

— (@)

“Our governments are in cahoots doing really bad things to the public,” said Glenn.

“There have been numerous public attacks on X by the prime minister. Now, I don't believe that he will succeed if he takes on Elon Musk, but the mentality isn't to have an honest discussion about what's happening in Britain. The mentality is to try and quash any dissent and stop people talking about the very real issues that are affecting us,” said Truss, noting that one of the most glaring issues is “the sheer scale of illegal immigration into [the U.K.].”

Truss, who’s been following the U.S. election, says that comments from the likes of Hillary Clinton and other “members of the Democrat campaign” reveal that the United States and England are on the same path.

“Not only are [Democrats] putting in place these disastrous policies; they’re also trying to stop anybody from talking about them,” she said.

“This is not about left versus right, Democrats versus Republicans. This is about elites against the people,” added Glenn.

UK men get over 2 years in jail for social media posts deemed 'racist' — apparently in wake of deadly child stabbings



A pair of men in the United Kingdom each were sentenced to over two years in jail for posting what officials deemed "racist messages" on social media, the Cheshire Constabulary said Tuesday.

Officials said 36-year-old Christopher Taggart of Caesars Close, Runcorn, and 34-year-old Rhys McDonald of Oxford Road, Runcorn, appeared Tuesday at Chester Crown Court.

'This should serve as a stark reminder against posting abusive messages online — we are all responsible for our actions, including what we post on social media.'

Taggart was sentenced to 32 months — just four months shy of three years — and McDonald was sentenced to 28 months, officials said, adding that they both pleaded guilty to "publishing written material to stir up racial hatred." Officials also said Taggart pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.

Cheshire Police on Aug. 5 became aware of "concerning messages that were openly available to view on Facebook" that Taggart and McDonald posted, officials said, adding that multiple posts contained "racial abuse" and encouraged people to "engage in racial hatred."

Taggart posted messages between July 29 and Aug. 6; McDonald posted messages between July 29 and Aug. 5, officials said, adding that they were arrested Saturday. Officials added that officers found brass knuckles in Taggart’s home during a search.

July 29 was the day of a deadly mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in Southport. A 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims in the attack.

Officials initially said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive in the deadly knife attack, which angered many who accused the government of covering up evidence. Police identified suspect Axel Rudakubana and charged him with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. Officials identified him as being from Cardiff but also noted that his parents are Rwandan.

Unrest and violence erupted the day after the stabbings and have spread across the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Keir Starmer denounced the violence and blamed "far-right thuggery."

However, now-suspended U.K. Labour Party Councillor Ricky Jones reportedly was arrested last week on suspicion of encouraging murder of anti-immigration protesters after an outdoor speech in London in front of a rabid, far-left crowd during which he hollered, "They are disgusting, nasty fascists, and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all!" A video of the speech shows him sliding his finger across his neck as he spoke; he then led a “free, free Palestine!" chant.

Radio host Glenn Beck, co-founder of Blaze Media, last week opined that "two-tier justice" — in which police more or less ignore Muslim immigrant crime but come down hard on non-Muslims — has been laid bare in the U.K. in the wake of the deadly knife attack.

Also last week, Sir Mark Rowley, commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, said "we will come after you" — even if you live in another country — if you post material online about the rioting in England that officials say incites racial hatred.

Indeed, U.K. police last week said they arrested a 55-year-old woman in connection with an "inaccurate social media post" in regard to the "identity of the attacker in the Southport murders," the Cheshire Constabulary said in a separate report.

Stephen Parkinson — director of public prosecutions of England and Wales — also said, "We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material, and then follow up with identification, arrests, and so forth."

In regard to the two jailed men, Chief Superintendent Alison Ross said, “Since the start of the recent disorder in other areas of the UK, we have been clear that we will not tolerate this kind of behavior in Cheshire, including those who post racial abuse online. Much of the violent disorder which has taken place across the UK in recent weeks has been fueled by malicious communications online, something which Taggart and McDonald decided to take part in. But they were not able to hide behind their devices and online accounts — they were soon identified and are now being held accountable. This should serve as a stark reminder against posting abusive messages online — we are all responsible for our actions, including what we post on social media.”

Anything else?

A 32-year-old Romanian citizen with no fixed address was charged last week with attempted murder after an 11-year-old girl was repeatedly stabbed in London's Leicester Square. She survived but needed plastic surgery. Officials said the attack was not terror-related.

Three males were arrested last week in connection with what Austrian officials said was a foiled terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna — apparently fueled by radical Islam.

Swift is expected to perform five concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium starting Thursday through Aug. 20 to close the European leg of her Eras Tour.

UK police 'will come after you' — even if you live in another country — for rioting posts they say incite racial hatred



The commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police said "we will come after you" — even if you live in another country — if you post material online about the rioting in England that officials define as inciting racial hatred.

"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

'Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law.'

How U.K. law enforcement actually will carry that out — particularly against people who live in the United States, where freedom of speech is paramount — is unclear.

What's the background?

A 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims in a July 29 mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in Southport, a U.K. seaside town.

Officials initially said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive in the attack, which angered many who accused the government of covering up evidence. Police identified suspect Axel Rudakubana and charged him with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. Officials identified him as being from Cardiff but also noted that his parents are Rwandan.

Unrest and violence erupted the day after the stabbings and have spread across the United Kingdom ever since.

Radio host Glenn Beck, co-founder of Blaze Media, last week opined that "two-tier justice" — in which police more or less ignore Muslim immigrant crime but come down hard on non-Muslims — has been laid bare in the U.K. in the wake of the deadly knife attack.

U.K. authorities not only began cracking down on rioters but also on individuals who post material online they say incites racial hatred. In fact, U.K. police last week said they arrested a 55-year-old woman in connection with an "inaccurate social media post." Cheshire police officers made the arrest Thursday over a post "containing inaccurate information about the identity of the attacker in the Southport murders," the Cheshire Constabulary said.

Officials said the woman, who lives near Chester, was arrested "on suspicion of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred (S19 of the Public Order Act 1986) and false communications (S179 Online Safety Act 2023)." Chester is about a mile east of England's border with Wales and about 40 minutes south of Liverpool.

'We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material, and then follow up with identification, arrests, and so forth.'

"It’s a stark reminder of the dangers of posting information on social media platforms without checking the accuracy," Chief Superintendent Alison Ross said. "It also acts as a warning that we are all accountable for our actions, whether that be online or in person.”

Ross added that "we have all seen the violent disorder that has taken place across the U.K. over the past week, much of which has been fueled by malicious and inaccurate communications online."

What's more, Fox News noted that Stephen Parkinson — director of public prosecutions of England and Wales — warned against "publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive which is intended to or likely to start racial hatred. So, if you retweet that, then you’re republishing that, and then potentially you're committing [incitement to racial hatred]."

He added, "We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material, and then follow up with identification, arrests, and so forth," the cable news network said.

A Sky News reporter asked Rowley what U.K. authorities will do in the wake of notable individuals — such as X CEO Elon Musk — who have been "whipping up this kind of behavior from behind a keyboard who may be in a different country?"

Rowley indicated that oceans and national borders won't save them — or you.

"Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law," he replied. "You can be guilty of offenses of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred; there are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the publishing of material. All of those offenses are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets, and we'll come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets the thugs and the yobs ... who are causing the problems for communities."

Another UK stabbing: 11-year-old girl and woman, 34, wounded in London attack; male arrested



An 11-year-old girl and a 34-year-old woman were stabbed Monday in London's Leicester Square in the United Kingdom, police said on X.

A male has been arrested and is in custody, police said.

'I just saw a kid getting stabbed, and I just tried to save her.'

"At this stage, there is no suggestion that the incident is terror-related," police added.

The girl "will require hospital treatment, but her injuries are not life threatening," police said, adding that the woman — who also was taken to a hospital — "suffered more minor injuries."

Police also said, "We don't believe there are any outstanding suspects."

Amid Monday's stabbing, a security guard told the Guardian he “jumped on” and took a knife from a male he said stabbed the child.

The paper added that the guard by the name of Abdullah, 29, told the PA news agency: “I heard a scream. At that moment I saw there was one person, roughly [in their] mid-30s or early 30s, and he was like stabbing a kid. I jumped on him, held the hand in which he was [carrying] a knife, and just put him down on the floor and just held him and took the knife away from him. Then a couple of more people joined as well, and we just held him until the police came; it took maybe three to four minutes for the police to arrive, and then they just took him into custody.”

You can view a video report about the incident here; it includes a clip of officers holding the apparent suspect — with his face blurred — as well as an interview with the security guard.

The Guardian reported that Joy Akan, another tour bus company worker, took video of the suspect after his arrest, and it showed he's a "lightly built man in a black T-shirt with an Abbey Road logo on the front. He was wearing black tracksuit trousers. The video was time stamped at 11.41 a.m." (6:41 a.m. EST). Numerous video clips posted to X show the purported suspect in custody without blurring his face.

The Guardian said a police cordon surrounded the double doors of the TWG Tea shop, and at least six police officers were at the scene.

Abdullah — who told the paper he's worked security at the TWG Tea shop for the past “seven to eight months” — said his colleagues gave first aid to the child before police arrived.

“I just saw a kid getting stabbed, and I just tried to save her," he told the Guardian. "It’s my duty to just save them."

Ezat Katerzis, who's with a tour bus company, told the paper the attacker appeared "mentally disturbed" and that "he just stabbed the girl out of the blue. She was with her family.”

Katerzis added to the Guardian that the girl appeared to have been stabbed near her right eye and that "blood was pouring out of her face" and that "she will survive. They picked her up, and she stood [on her] feet. They took her inside the [TWG Tea] shop, and the paramedic came.”

Katerzis also told the paper that the attacker "is only a skinny guy. He didn’t say anything when they arrested him and took him to the van. It was like he was on drugs or something. I don’t think it was a robbery. He just started stabbing her for no reason.”

Just two weeks ago, a 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims in a July 29 mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in U.K. seaside town of Southport.

Officials initially said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive in the Southport knife attack, which angered many who accused the government of covering up evidence. Police identified suspect Axel Rudakubana and charged him with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. Officials identified him as being from Cardiff but also noted that his parents are Rwandan. Unrest and violence erupted the day after the stabbings and have spread across the United Kingdom.

UK police actually arrest 55-year-old woman over 'inaccurate social media post'



Police in the United Kingdom said they arrested a 55-year-old woman this week in connection with an "inaccurate social media post."

Cheshire police officers made the arrest Thursday over a post "containing inaccurate information about the identity of the attacker in the Southport murders," the Cheshire Constabulary said.

Authorities said she was being held in police custody "where she is assisting officers with their enquiries."

A 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims in a July 29 mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in Southport.
