BBC boxing correspondent Steve Bunce says that Imane Khelif is female and the only reason anyone thinks otherwise is because "incredibly powerful people have damned this girl because of the way she looks", adding he doesn't trust the 'gender eligibility test' that Khelif failed

📢📢 Calling: UK uni employees. DM or email me at UoR answers w/ name ur uni: 1. Did your University permit men to self-identify into the category 'woman'? Has policy now been revoked? 2. What has ur uni said about FWS if anything and process of implementing it? Pls RT

If women's rights aren't based on sex they aren't based on anything. It is so profoundly upsetting that this is the goal being fought for by so many: the replacement of rights/ freedoms/ entitlements/ services rooted in biological sexual differences & their social effects.. 1/2

It’s been grim watching the hit job on Kishwer Falkner by people who don’t like the Supreme Court judgment. These complaints are a one-sided whinge from politicians upset the EHRC is no longer prioritising some trans ppl to the detriment of other groups. They need to grow up.

Ouch!

This is mortifying. The SC explicitly addresses sport in its judgment at paragraphs 53, 77, 128, 232-6, 247 and in its concluding summary of reasoning at 265 (xv). If the Chair thinks that sport is irrelevant to the judgment, she can't have read it. x.com/treesey/status…

As members of the Women and Equalities Committee questioned EHRC chair Baroness Kishwer, it was not clear they understood the Supreme Court ruling on sex at all. My reflections on a hostile session & the campaign underway to undermine Falkner’s successor… newstatesman.com/the-weekend-re…

People in The Guardian referring to rape of children as part of a "culture war" shows their priorities. You either believe in the safeguarding of women and girls or you don't.

The Led By Donkeys boys Ben Stewart, James Sadri, Oliver Knowles and Will Rose have included JK Rowling in a Glastonbury stunt. It’s a line up of people they want to send to Mars because they have ‘made life more difficult for the rest of us’. JKR’s charity Lumos has, to

SEEN in Journalism Daniel Martin No 10 has finally spoken up, now the air's running thin. Starmer delayed for 75 days after it had been made crystal clear that government and local councils UK-wide were breaching equality law. Fellow plebs, contact your local service providers. Demand action. #ItsTheLaw

16/ If you believe in the rule of law, in rights that can coexist, and in the importance of institutional independence, then this letter should worry you. Not because of what it says. But because of what it demands others must not be allowed to say. 🔚

5/ I note "the basic dignity of trans people" takes centre stage with these MPs (as it always does), but not the dignity, privacy or security of women, or the lesbian intervenors concern that homosexuals can have association rights or a meaningful protected characteristic.

10/ The Questions That Must Be Asked Who authorised this shift? What was the governance process? Why were legal standards abandoned in favour of activist frameworks? These are questions for Parliament, not just Ofcom.

11/ What Needs to Happen BBC must now face a full, independent audit of its policies and content on gender identity from 2005 to today. Parliamentary oversight is essential; public trust will not return without transparency and reform.

Not a word about women and girls. Not a word about the motivations of the For Women Scotland group others who brought the action. And for the last time, it's not just about toilets!! #LabourLosingWomen stellacreasy
