Here is my latest paper, published today in the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport and co-authored with Dr Emma Hilton @fondofbeetles from Manchester University. I would like to thank @OpenUniversity for their ongoing support of my research https://t.co/Ou90CxUPAj

Quite right - it's insulting Labour wants us to believe that they take misogyny seriously when they're instructing lawyers to argue that female-only spaces/services should be able to lawfully admit men who identify as female in court. https://t.co/mgdOWQo5N5

It's *very* disappointing that thinking in labour's front ranks has descended to this level - picking up on spurious talking points from RMW. We need to do better than this @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting. This is a *fake* objection to implementing the SC judgment.

Their reserves of bravery, patience and determination have been stunning. Some of them I know - there were definitely others I didn’t - but they’ll all still have to remain unnamed. I wish I could put their names and pics so they could be thanked. /

Have now had time properly to absorb the new sex and gender guidance at the BBC. I want to pay tribute to the women, some men, but mainly women, who worked so hard, for so long, to reach this point. They put their careers on the line to do it. /

... They will have a fight on their hands because thousands of party members support the EA in its current form. But fine, that's the democratic way. In the meantime, implement the law, as it stands, and as determined by the Supreme Court. And grow up.

If leading figures in the Labour Party want the single *sex* exemptions in the (our) Equality Act to be 'trans inclusive' - to stop being *sex* exemptions - then they should argue for that in the party, and propose amendment to or repeal of the EA...

@FinalTelegraph I was supposed to be an object lesson to other women. I've seen more than one person say on X, 'd'you want what happened to JK Rowling to happen to you?' This is a movement that relies on intimidation. The only possible response is to refuse to be intimidated. That said, I've

Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

Open Letter from clinicians to Wes Streeting on the PATHWAYS Puberty Blocker Trial. Wes Streeting has indicated openness to hearing from clinicians with concerns about the PB trial. If you agree with our concerns please sign and share with colleagues.

remember in 2023 when a Finnish dude in a dress turned the Euro skate championships into a Chris Farley comedy sketch? He fell on his ass & had to be helped up by an (actual) woman. Putting women “at risk” isn’t the only factor. Male narcissists turn female sports into a farce

1/2 NEW: Boxing Canada is backing Danielle Smith in her tiff with Skate Canada over AB's transgender sport law. “(We have) no plans to stop holding competitions in Alberta,” said director Chris Lindsay, adding that safety and fairness must come before broad inclusion. Link🔽

One hundred years ago in 1925 women finally won the fight to have their own, single sex swimming pond on Hampstead Heath. Please can we have it back now?

🔥 Exceptionally clear and compelling discussion, led by @DrJBhattacharya, with the authors of the HHS review of medical treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria. TLDR: the evidence base for benefits of drugs & surgery is weak, while harms (e.g., infertility) are clear. Methods

I've been on *loads* of demos in my life. In my long student years, it was at least one a month. Very seldom did they have any chance of success. I'm not sure about anything, but I think there's a reasonable chance that today's - which I missed for work - will actually

This seems important. In the absence of fully informed consent on the part of the subjects at risk of harm, the trial can't be ethically permissible.

"We're talking here about physically healthy primary school-aged children being injected with drugs to stop them growing up." "The Health Secretary says he's uncomfortable with this experiment, and his instincts are correct." @Jonathan_Hinder 👏 #StopThePBTrial

Here's the latest from Sarah Barker, who is always good, always a must read. I have two disagreements/clarifications. (1) I don't think the unfairness of men competing in the female category is a necessary condition for opposing it. "This is just for women, you're not a

"Among current Labour voters, opposition remains strong, with 59% backing a halt and 26% supporting continuation." #StopthePBTrial

1/3 In my latest for @timeshighered, I argue that without the complaints scheme universities will continue to disregard their HEFSA duties with impunity. There is no justice without access to justice. It is time for the government to finish the job.

@runthinkwrite @SkateCanada Here's Coach Blade on Albertan law. Facts matter in reporting Skate Canada's policy. Athletes who call themselves transgender can compete in Alberta - in the correct sex class, as long as they don't dope.
