NION Women Rejects Anti-Trans Narrative at Kenwood Ladies Pond Image of women swimming in the wild

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

For the first time since she was freed from an immigration prison, Rümeysa Öztürk speaks. And she does so by ... writing:

Within the image, there are four different scenes corresponding to different literary quotes. Number 1: "Your gaze is very direct, Miss Eyre" from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. In the picture, Jane Eyre is accompanied by a group of raccoons, one of whom has just said to Mr. Rochester, "We want food!" Number 2: "She returned his gaze" from Ian McEwan's Atonement shows a woman carrying a box full of raccoons back to her reluctant ex-boyfriend. Number 3: "His gaze was direct, holding my eyes" from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander shows a clustered group of racoons physically holding open a shocked woman's eyelids. And number 4: "That somber, thoughtful gaze of his did not leave her face. She did not find it embarrassing" from Agatha Christie's Towards Zero shows a woman on a sun-lounger with her face entirely covered by a swarm of raccoons.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rmjconpldkourhtggdcnweqf/bafkreicywseulbd5mze5cveupuljh3cqyga2556ijxkvvurbhvktma752y@jpeg)
