Jeez. And here is the problem. A trans woman changes in the womenโs changing rooms. Cis woman spots a piece of anatomy she deems should not be there, claims to be terrified, deliberately misgenders, and kicks up a stink. Meanwhile, trans woman was just trying to dry herself.
This is an appalling abuse of power - & so out of context!
I cannot believe JKR is still being allowed to bully, abuse & encourage others to follow suit.

HEATHER PEACE TALKS SCREAMING
This week, I was lucky enough to grab a bit of time with the awesome
@heatherpeace
for my
#TazTalks
show.
Our episode premieres at 6pm on Saturday, via my official Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Hereโs a quick teaser to whet your appetite ๐
Earlier today, I was delighted to catch up with
@catherinerusse2
for a
#TazTalks
episode.
We talked candidly about
#mentalhealth
during
#lockdown
, panic attacks, cooking and Catholic nuns!
The episode will be aired at 6pm on Saturday night. Links coming soon.
Here's a teaser x
I tried to run an
@instagram
promotion, talking about
#LGBTQIA
equality, sharing with
#LGBTQ
community.
My ad was rejected. On appeal, I had to share passport, address, phone, website & email. Rejected for political campaigning?! Please!
Heard anything like this
@LindaRiley8
?
We all self-doubt from time to time.
The trick? Learn to DOUBT the DOUBT.
If you have doubts about confidence, ability, skillset, likability, anything at all, take a deep breath, still yourself, then doubt the doubt itself.
Is it legitimate? Is there proof? Can it do one? ๐๐
Tomorrow, we take our baby girl for her 1st chemo session, after two ops to remove cancer that keeps coming backโฆ in just about the worst place.
So, tonight, I have no patience for trolls, or their fallout. Move on.
Focusing on sending love and goodness where most needed. ๐๐
@redlianak
Honestly, I find it insulting that so many โTERFsโ call themselves feminists, when the very word relates to the inclusion of women.
*All* women. Not specifically white, cis women.
Maybe if they stopped pedalling so much hatredโฆ
Iโm feeling wobbly today (to use
@catherinerusse2
โs word from our
#TazTalks
ep).
This past week, we lost a loved one to suicide. In this Covid world, the fallout is horrendous.
Through my own โwobble, Iโm more determined to keep up the
#mentalhealth
message. Itโs important. ๐
@BBCNews
This utterly stinks. How can this possibly be lawful? Coercion at its finest.
And so, it seems, the ones labelled โconspiracy theoristsโ were right all along. This is about control and none of us are doing enough to stop it.
Today,
@AshaClearwater
and I celebrate 21 beautiful years together, after meeting through
@DIVAmagazine

I am the luckiest woman alive. (Had to fight the urge to say second luckiest! ๐๐)
Love you to the moon and back, Asha. Forever and then some. X8

Today has not been good. I donโt feel brilliant now either. I feel exhausted, teary, a little resigned and a lot dismayed.
Itโll shift. Iโll be okay.
This is to let you know even those of us with pink hair, who seem to know where our towel is, have shit days.
Hang in there ๐
Last night in Athens. Sitting atop The Areopagus, waiting for all the lights to glow The Acropolis.
Lots of locals here too. Someoneโs bought music.
Back to Blighty tomorrow. I think a little piece of my heart always stays in Greece โค๏ธ๐ฌ๐ท๐๐โ๏ธ
Today Iโve been trolled. Pretty badly. Organised, systematic bullying from several grown ups.
Well, you know what? I hope they sleep tonight. I have so much love around me - and that beats everything! Xx
Guess who won an award today? Iโm officially Central Englandโs Female Business Professional Of The Year.
Iโm feeling a weird mix of humble and proud ๐๐๐๐ป
Little known facts about
#Lesbians
1) We donโt all live in London, Manchester or Brighton.
2) We donโt all identify as โactivistsโ. Sometimes, itโs enough to be โoutโ and living openly wherever we happen to call home.
3) We donโt all own cats. Except I do, so, errm... ๐ณ๐ฑ

@stephenfry
Having spent time with
@stephenfry
, I found him utterly charming, kind, compassionate, hugely generous and wonderfully lovely.
We must, surely, be able to draw a line between disagreeing with someoneโs viewpoint and attacking their character.
I donโt disagree with him here.
@EmmaKennedy
I wish
@Keir_Starmer
would do lots of things. I also wish heโd be bolder. Thereโs so much awfulness going on in politics right now, and Iโd desperately love to see someone really leading the way and giving us more to believe in.
Twitter today in a single tweet:
RIP June Whitfield
The queen has a gold piano
2018 - that was the year, that was
2019 - thisโll be the year, this will
BREXIT - same old
@LindaRiley8
still doing a fine job of responding to transphobic silliness
Thatโs it. Youโre welcome.
In the latest
#TazTalks
#MentalHealth
episode, I catch up with
@catherinerusse2
and talk everything from panic attacks and anxiety to the menopause, bearded ladies, jigsaws and nuns.
Watch at 6pm on Saturday.

Iโve hit a bit of a downer. I need to shift it. And I will.
Because itโs nobodyโs fault. I know what triggered it, but it *my* reaction and my responsibility. Life isnโt always fair, but itโs still my life, and theyโre my challenges to learn and grow from.

@JustJuno1
Maybe we need more on this time in history. More writers brave enough to create and determined enough to get it out there.
Is it that

โneglectedโ women, or simply that he was telling a different part of the story and only had so many eps to play with. ๐๐๐ป

A stone gone since the end of May and another sweaty workout done.
Milestone? Yes.
The end? No way!
I donโt workout just to get my physical health where it needs to be - itโs for my mental, emotional and spiritual health too. Those endorphins rock! ๐๐ช๐ป๐

Meanwhile, hereโs me with Tilly - itโs not her best selfie, TBF. She, Thea and Bailey will be coming home on Monday. So will the cats - Merlin and Freyja. Happy families ๐๐๐๐ป
Just muted a shedload of accounts - even those I agreed with. Why? My feed was becoming a cesspit of vile, confrontational tweets, and I was starting to avoid Twitter.
I know the rows are happening. I donโt need to be constantly in them.
Now, whereโs
@LumpyandFriends
โฆ? ๐ฅฐ
Why on Earth are so many people directing anger at Pen Farthing instead of the people who blocked his staffโs escape?
What an awful, awful position to be in.
It appears he did all he could, and yet still weโre slating the man.
Tragic events. Horrid response. ๐
@danhett
Iโve had this with so many speaking gigs since lockdown... someone actually said they were doing me a favour by asking me to speak.
Errm, no... youโre expecting me to work FOR FREE!
Imagine saying that to a plumber, or lawyer, or mechanic, or anyone else who gets PAID to work.
If youโre reading this, I wish you love, happiness and abundance ๐๐
And if youโre reading this and feeling a bit low, I wish you just the same, and that youโre able to create a tomorrow thatโs a bit brighter than today.
Thatโs all.

A few of weeks ago, some โbusinessโ women tried to disrupt/discredit a talk I was giving at a networking event.
People have suggested various reasons, from perceived competition to jealousy to homophobia.
Anyway, their childish behaviour has so far sent 3 new clients my way. ๐
Some dickhead just had a go at me for taking a PCR test, which led to me postponing training events with vulnerable delegates.
Iโm scared, apparently.
Iโm not scared, but I do take my duty of care very seriously.
And Iโm glad I took that test and acted appropriately!
My wife is standing outside the house, wearing a full-head skull mask, posing with the Halloween decorations to scare people.
๐๐๐
Sheโs been out there for almost an hour.
This morning I have an early gig... Iโm delivering motivational speaking for hundreds of kids who missed out on GCSEs due to lockdown.
Iโve spoken for kids before. Thatโs all cool.
The real issue is that itโs via Microsoft Teams! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Wish me luck! ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ซ๐
I hear so many opportunists sticking the knife in, but can we just park the โpoliticsโ of this for a moment?
Can we just acknowledge, and celebrate, a woman who achieved so much AND showed compassion in a job where so many are emotionless pocket packers?
More heart please ๐๐๐ป
If anyoneโs followed me after tonightโs
#TazTalks
ep with
@heatherpeace
and I havenโt followed back, tweet me a kick and I will rectify immediately ๐๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Thanks so much for your support, everyone, and a huge thanks to Heather, again, for being so generous and awesome! ๐๐๐ป๐
I was broken, and desperately needed to change my life, when my GP said Iโd never make a career of helping others.
I went on to write 2 bestsellers, win awards for my coaching, AND build a thriving, global practice, helping others.
He was wrong.
Always go after your dreams!
Good morning world! ๐

Be the woman who roots for other women.
Be the cheerleader you wish you had.
Use your words and your energy to lift up every woman you meet.
Encourage every woman, of every age, to believe in their brilliance and follow their dreams.
Our groceries just turned up from
@Morrisons
- all 9 crates of it.
Therefore, I had to eat a vegan cornetto for breakfast, to celebrate getting everything into the freezer.
Itโs the law.
