Stop looking at random womens ’height and gait’ you perverted freaks! Reminder - the Labour government *insisted* that this person be appointed as chair of the EHRC against recommendations of 2 parliamentary select committees.

"I think, generally speaking, humans are incredibly effective in identifying the sex of strangers, which we do through multiple points of information, and there's not a single indicator that we use.
"For example, there's academic research showing that where you recreate 3D models of people's faces, using photographs, taking out all the things like hair that might be an indicator, there is 96 to 98 per cent accuracy in identifying sex. Just on a 3D model of a face, where you're not adding in anything else - height, gait, build, voice, all of those other things.

The chair of the EHRC, our national human rights institution, centring arguments around polling and political popularity on a human rights issue seems… Not good www.politicshome.com/news/article...

The alternative would be removing entitlements to single-sex spaces altogether, she concludes, which would be hard. "If you look at where public opinion is, all the studies - and there's been multiple polling on this area - show a very high degree of support for single-sex services, and for those to be provided on the basis of biological sex. So, I think an attempt to change the law that would remove the right to single-sex services would be extremely unpopular."

The EEOC is now free to continue ignoring all employment discrimination claims involving trans people after this dismissal. It's really a dark day that an administration can say they won't enforce anti-discrimination law for an entire class of people. apnews.com/article/tran...

I'm one of the signatories to this letter. We note that NHS England's ban on hormone therapy by under-18 was proposed: ● without any clear rationale, ● on the basis of a methodologically-flawed process, ● in the absence of peer review, ● and without plans for monitoring impact or mitigating harm

Something the news fail to mention in regards to the 1.8 billion settlement: it also gives immunity to Trump, his family and his businesses. To all future investigations and prosecutions for eternity. Why is nobody talking about this???

I feel genuinely flabbergasted by the defiantly anti-journalistic approach of NYT Comms here. They're saying the NYT's reporting on the stance of the American Medical Association is correct, despite the American Medical Association saying their stance is different from what NYT reported.

The New York Times’s body of reporting on the American Medical Association’s stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.’s own statements. www.nytco.com/press/fact-c...
