💥New @EHRC Chair Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson says people should follow rules when it comes to single-sex facilities. 🚻👍😊 @BBCNews

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson said "things could be sorted out if there is goodwill and recognition that everybody has rights".

'Gender ideology asks: do you validate my internal sense of self? It replaces class solidarity with identity performance. It turns comrades into enemies over pronouns.' Worth a read 👇
Calling opposition to gender ideology “patriarchal” is lazy politics and bad analysis. Women asserting sex-based rights is not patriarchy. It is women resisting the erasure of their legal category by a male-centred ideology that insists men can redefine womanhood by

“My captors are treating me well. I have not been beaten. I want to let my family know that I am fine” Literally no idea who this guy is, but it seems he is being held to ransom
I want to apologise for the hurt and offence that I have caused to the Trans community following a tweet I sent last night. That was never my intention. This is a complex issue for many but we need to approach it with compassion, understanding and dignity for all.

As the sun sets and the first night of Chanukah begins, the thoughts of the entire Labour Party are with Jews in Britain, in Australia, and around the world.

Who's going to tell her? No @lisanandy The Supreme Court has not 'set a new standard around the definition of what is a woman'. It has clarified that: 'the terms “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the EA 2010 refer to biological sex.' https://t.co/7INGzNfcP9
"The Supreme Court ruling has set a new standard around the definition of what is a woman ... so we're going to have to find new ways to include people." Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy reacts to the Girl Guide trans ban. Full interview out tomorrow.

The last thing a teen girl needs is to be told that they're a nebulous feeling in a boy's mind. The last thing a teen boy needs is for adults to affirm this.

@AdamPugh Any organisation that embraces the idea that people can change sex is eventually destroyed by it.

Important thread on how the scandal of electric shock treatments on LGB people in the 1960s NHS (long exposed and cancelled) ends up being quoted in parliament now, as if such NHS practices still go on & need a new criminal Conversion Practices Bill to ban them. The real scandal
If you didn’t believe in nudge media content, you should now. Just a few days after the BBC’s doco on gay people being electrocuted by the NHS in the 60s, the government confirms its plan to bring forward a ‘comprehensive trans inclusive ban’ on ‘conversion practices’. /

✊ Solidarity with women who refused to be silenced. The Morning Star has published a powerful review of The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, a book documenting how ordinary women were smeared, censored and bullied for raising legitimate concerns about gender ideology and self-ID.

4/ We urge the Secretary of State to follow our long held call for ethical approval to be put to a public consultation. If the Secretary feels discomfort, why not assuage that with a full and open discussion of what is happening here and why. https://t.co/9ZSipXPwO6
4/ We ask that any supposed ethical approval for a study is put to full public consultation. It is only right that the many organisations who were right to raise the alarm in the first place resume this vital role in judging whether the ethical standards are adequate.

“This is how political institutions lose trust: not by openly rewriting their rules, but by quietly working around them.” Very interesting here from @LauraPascal81 on the sneaky tactics used by Labour to get around the law and allow men to still be included in this women’s space.
Labour’s compromise approach to the Women’s Conference complies with the law but is still a political and moral mistake argues Laura Pascal.

An MP who appears not to know the difference between a precedent-setting Supreme Court judgment and a first-instance Employment Tribunal judgment that not only doesn’t set precedent but is headed for the Employment Appeal Tribunal 😬
1/ You wouldn’t know it from the coverage, but two recent employment tribunal rulings have vindicated those of us who have said from the start that the Supreme Court judgment did not require the automatic exclusion of trans people from single-sex toilets and changing rooms. 🧵

Terrific piece from @glinner. What gets lost in this fight is how personal it is. Actual friends, colleagues, members of family: it's quite horrifying to see what those who profess to love you will do – and what they won't. Bravo Graham for naming names.

This is something I am very happy about. My ten minute rule bill sought to fix this, but the Met have done it. I’m looking forward to seeing all forces follow suit.
NEW From today, officers & staff in @metpoliceuk must declare if they are or have ever been a Freemason. It’s part of a new ‘hierarchical associations’ policy recommended 4 years ago by Daniel Morgan panel review. Met says 2/3 of 2,000 staff surveyed agreed with the idea.

Reckless advice from @scotgov funded equality bodies? How unusual…. 🙄Evidence suggests that funding is in inverse proportion to the (wilfully) wrong advice provided.
The @scotgov urgently needs to tell the funded EN that ETs do not make law. The ruling of the apex court was very clear and one dubious lower ET decision will not protect other employers. This is reckless. https://t.co/dgOE8ArlJL

Currently, in the complex work I’m involved in, in the arts, antisemitism is as ingrained as deep misogyny. There is also a weird racism that pretends it’s anti-racism. It’s sometimes extremely painful to be both witness and victim and still a creator. I truly thought the

Strongly agree with every word “Women notice when a space created for their benefit is reclassified just enough to permit a symbolic gesture to someone else. The message is not subtle, and it is not lost on us. It marks the difference between a Party that genuinely
