“Musicians came together and fully gave themselves to a song that was written by and for trans people. When the session ended, I broke down in tears and we all hugged—some of us were crying too. Something powerful happened that day."

A barrister, Sarah Phillimore, led a campaign of harassment of a trans woman so wicked that she sought to take her own life. JK Rowling saw Phillimore could be punished for that conduct, which jeopardized life, and offered to pay her legal costs. That's where Rowling now is.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting (more in hope than expectation) for the letter from her lawyers she threatened me with some months back. I guess, like most bullies, she buggers off if you stand up to her.

Simply pathetic. Once she wrote, ponderously, about how she was "interested in freedom of speech and have publicly defended it, even unto Donald Trump." Now she uses her billions to try and persuade people to bring hopeless legal actions against me.

@ForWomenScot @JohnBoyneBooks @GoodLawProject Be awful if @JohnBoyneBooks sued. I wonder if he’s got a friend who’d be delighted to fund him if he did? I’ll ask around in this room where I’m sitting alone.

Joanne Rowling does herself a disservice: the online hate mob, the bigotry, the weakening of feminism through the alignment of her sliver of it with literally every fascist in the world, is her legacy.

In accordance with our transparency principles, we have now updated our EHRC challenge page with our case as filed, the EHRC's response, our reply, and the responses of the Health & Safety Executive and the Secretary of State Bridget Phillipson.

We challenged the EHRC on their transphobic guidance. The High Court has now given us directions to proceed with the case.

Rupert Murdoch's TalkTV is the most hideously transphobic channel on your screens. It's clearly breaching broadcast impartiality laws. Please join us in complaining to Ofcom. We took down GB News' homophobia - now let's join forces against Murdoch.

The most interesting thing about these stats is that the most political judge of all - the Lord Chief Justice - is constitutionally responsible for choosing which judge hears which case against the Government (.

I've written repeatedly about the truth that all of us barristers know, but you, the great unwashed, are not allowed to hear: that who your judge is makes a profound difference to your chances of succeeding. But even I am staggered by this magnitude of difference.

My advice is exactly the same as Sir Lindsay Hoyle's: wait to see what statutory guidance the EHRC produces before you act because (contrary to Sex Matters' bullshit) what the Supreme Court's decision means is very unclear (and it says it isn't bad for trans people).

Profoundly - and characteristically - dishonest from the Sex Matters hate group. The Supreme Court explicitly said - which we point out but Sex Matters ignores - "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC."

We will today issue proceedings against the Equality Commission Northern Ireland. And it might be, for reasons we explain, that this becomes the key case in the fightback against the ideology of For Some Women Scotland.
