Interesting!

🪩The one and only @stateofaireport 2025 is live! 🪩 It’s been a monumental 12 months for AI. Our 8th annual report is the most comprehensive it's ever been, covering what you *need* to know about research, industry, politics, safety and our new usage data. My highlight reel:

I wrote about Malcolm Gladwell and the permanent harm done by so many people joining in with the vilification of former friends and allies for saying things they themselves agreed with

If the police are serious about "real threats in the real world", they really need to join the dots between the current epidemic of male violence against women and the normalisation of threats of violence against women who say no to men

“The absurdity of many of the propositions put by the Tickle camp may eventually prove self-defeating. But not if they escape scrutiny by a vigilant media.” Link 👇

The decision by an EU country to grant refugee status to this Brazilian woman is significant for more than one reason. To begin with, it is the first of its kind (at least that we know of). It is also an acknowledgement that the threats and punishment imposed on women who assert

If we can’t trust official data, we’ll be opening a Pandora’s Box of digital harms. Blood transfusions, organ donation, DBS checks, fraud prevention all rely on accurate sex records. Only liars, criminals and fantasists will benefit from inaccurate data being verified as fact

As a mathematician and data professional I'm all about accurate data. This might look a bit esoteric, but it's really important. URGENT ACTION: I've emailed my MP today about the Data Bill – can you? https://t.co/qnHPInZwgW via @SexMattersOrg

I wrote about the response to the supreme court ruling and why it's true that more empathy is needed - from trans activists and their supporters

Can you imagine the backlash by main stream media if any of the women last Wednesday or those campaigning for women’s rights, using logic, statistics, facts, biology & law, behaved the way those individuals did yesterday? Holding up signs asking for the injury & death of others.

The people who are (a) furious about the UKSC judgement ,and (b) were previously furious about the section 35 order, think the state should be able issue certificates to anyone who says they are entitled to them, that grant full legal rights to be treated as the opposite sex./

Remember, every person who says they are disgusted by the Supreme Court judgment is admitting that: They’re disgusted that female sexual assault survivors might meet in a support group to open up about their trauma, without men being present. They’re disgusted that lesbians

My thoughts on a wonderful week

"Biology is destiny" - as anyone who has read their Beauvoir knows, is the claim that female biology determines a subordinate social role. "Women = adult human female" is the claim that a particular group is defined in a certain, biological way. These two are *Different

The @FA policy that allows males into women's football is shambolic. One of the most revealing docs you'll ever read on this issue. Convoluted & illogical, it is a shrine to cowardice, intellectual dishonesty & their attitude towards women's sport

Tomorrow at around 10am we see the end of "Schrödinger's GRC". Is it "just admin", a private piece of paper w no impact on others (& even talking about the possibility that it has is offensive) or is it an extraordinary reality-bending legal instrument? (That you can get for £5

Report from Lausanne, Switzerland, Capital of the Olympics 🧵 20 March 2025 will be a turning point in women’s sport. The new President of the International Olympic Committee will be elected. Top of their ‘to-do’ list is to sort out women’s sport, which has been steadily

An important decision that hopefully emboldens others in the media to use accurate, appropriate words when reporting on biological advantages in sport. If we value honest discussion, then these attempts to censor and redefine certain words cannot be tolerated.

There's a particular feature of this that I want to bring out. Blair Hamilton is an academic sports scientist who publishers in this area: Hamilton researches, in particular, the effects of T-reduction and cross sex hormones on performance. This research project has an enormous
