Lee - this is not on point but you are an ally and I dont understand why no one is talking the Good Law Project having completely destroyed trans womens rights in the workplace!? This has been an absolute disaster and no one is holding anyone to account on it!?!? 😞 ❤️ 💙
Allison Bailey v Stonewall is going to the Supreme Court. It will be fascinating to see whether @stonewalluk.bsky.social takes the opportunity to make sure that trans voices are heard in our apex court.
I'm very excited to be part of this. (If also slightly terrified to be Chair of such an alarmingly august committee.)

I listened to the usually excellent @11kbw.bsky.social employment law blog on the recent ET cases on single-sex spaces. www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2026/03/25/p...

In the latest update to the Equal Treatment Bench Book, chapter 12, ¶48 is a breath of fresh air: '"Assigned at birth" is used by trans people (and others) instead of biological sex, but is not widely understood, and it is therefore to be avoided by judges.'
Fascinating eye-witness account of Lynsay Watson/Alex Horwood's latest antics and his arrest last Thursday. Since he's been both camera-shy and menacing online towards many of those he disagrees with, it's also good to have an up-to-date photo of him. www.thehelenjoyce.com/p/lynsay-wat...

The answer was no. No-one wanted to try to explain to me why men getting infants to suck on their nipples might (even sometimes) be ok. On balance I suppose I find that faintly reassuring, in a rather bleak way.
So depressing to see a Labour MP push misinformation like this. The judgment @kateosbornemp.bsky.social refers to is here: goodlawproject.org/wp-content/u.... Will she say which paragraph/s say “the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong”? No. Because none do. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Kate Osborne MP@kateosbornemp.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe High Court today confirms that the EHRC's draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans- inclusive basis for customers and service users.

We really need to start to face up to the implications of autogynephilia for the admission of men who say they are women to women-only spaces. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC6M...

@swilkenkc.bsky.social I'm trying to find the case you mentioned to me about costs as damages, and which opened a whole world of pain for you on this lovely kind site... and I can't find it. Could you possibly remind me?
Jolyon Maugham KC has blocked me, but posted that the guardian article about Melanie Field shows UKSC in FWS v Scottish ministers is constitutionally wrong. For a KC to suggest something so legally illiterate in statutory interpretation is bizarre. My explanation why medium.com/@scott-wortl...
This reply to me is from someone whose account is not marked "intolerance". Go figure.
Human rights lawyers, please comment with particular reference to the article 3 and 8 rights of women subjected to such searches. x.com/kathmurray1/...
Dr Kath Murray on X: "The NPCC DEI has agreed that trans identified men with a GRC should be able to search female detainees. So a man with a bit of paper, that cost a fiver, can strip-search a woman, with state backing. It’s hard to express just how repugnant this is. https://t.co/qsyXOfVyMN" / X

Stonewall used to insist that refusing to accept someone's "trans" identity — refusing to pretend to believe that they are the opposite sex from their real sex — was "transphobic". Stonewall's definition of "transphobia" has been written into countless workplace policies.
An important thread from Helen Joyce over on Twitter. The vigilante attack was vicious and rightly punished. But if the reporting is correct, one of the perpetrators may have been the victim of a serious sex crime, too. We shouldn't overlook that. x.com/HJoyceGender...
