Imagine being a trans woman who has lived as a woman for over a decade. Recognised by the UK state. Many of the people in your life only know you as a woman. You get a new job in an office with single-sex loos - so now have to out yourself as trans to your boss, due the UKSC /

Transphobes finding out that their precious judgment does not actually legally compel businesses to discriminate against trans people, and most will not do so, because it simply doesn't make business sense. They know that their businesses run just fine as is.

The interim guidance from the EHRC is appalling, reflecting how that body has also been gerrymandered by the Tories. In some circumstances, apparently, trans people can use neither 'male' nor 'female' facilities. So where should they go, please?

The tone and substance of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHCR) publication, ‘An Interim Update on the Practical Implications of the UK Supreme Court Judgment’ (“the Interim Guidance”) extend beyond passive interpretation of the law. The document actively prescribes

‘Condemning an entire category of people on the basis that one of them might commit a crime is, of course, the very essence of prejudice.’ New essay on Britain’s ugly anti-trans moral panic:

IMO it IS NOT proportionate to automatically exclude trans people from "women's" or "men's" toilets. Firstly we need to understand the UKSC appears to have said that a service is ONLY single sex if it is proportionate to exclude trans women from women's services & vice versa

How far back is it considered necessary to trawl back through emails looking for invitations / requests / contacts that you've missed and apologising? At what point does the statute of limitations kick ? Three months? Six months? A year? Never? #AskingForAFriendObvs

In 2010, Tony Blair was paid £41,000 a month and 2% commission by PetroSaudi to lobby for the oil company. In 2018, he advised the oil-rich Saudi government for millions of pounds. His vested interests are in fossil fuels. We shouldn't take his net-zero criticisms seriously.

Stonewall is right. The statutory guidance has not been updated, and until it is, organisations are under no obligation to make any changes. The EHRC's guidance is not statutory.

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned Wes Streeting unless you have a way to justify this?

On the subject of immigrants, it’s what we all are. I grew up on a resettlement camp for Polish refugees near Eastleigh. Last weekend the camp was remembered with the unveiling of an artwork by Janeta Platun - a tree, a plaque - with Polish food and dance. That’s my Britain.

Watch Reeves and Rayner here. Reeves laughs performatively, Rayner looks like she wishes she was somewhere else. Wonder if she's regretting her life choices.

I'll scream it till the grave. Cisgender heterosexual folk I do NOT need you to 'protect' me from trans people. I do not need you to tell me what's good for me, or how my sexuality is defined, or what gender is. You attack my trans friends, you attack me. It's that simple.

It’s incredible to think that all you have to do is read two social media posts to fully understand why Musk’s SpaceX is an unmitigated disaster for America and the best example of the sort of rampant government waste DOGE will never come within a million miles of talking about
