It now seems they view equality data collection as inflexible and โbiologicalโ. I have advised organisations that this can be resolved using the Brexit restatement power.

Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

BEWARE. The details may not be 100% accurate (eg list f lawyers), because it's AI and... well.
But IMO, it gives a fairly good overview of what the heck it's all about.
A careful, and compelling analysis, of how the Equality Act operates post the awful Supreme Court decision, from the woman who guided the Act through Parliament. www.linkedin.com/pulse/does-e...

The existence of trans people is not an "ideology", BBC. It is a reality and one which Parliament has recognized.
(Entirely typical of the BBC that, confronted by a populist right attack, they will show willing by dumping on trans people. Weak with the strong, strong with the weak, as always.)
At a time wheb those afflicted with 'gender critical ideology' seem to be in meltdown over the effects of what they campaigned for.... a reminder of how judging sex by appearance, endorsed by the UK Supreme Court, can cause issues. 2024 news.

What pisses me off about even this framing - โtrans athletes could be at a disadvantageโ - is that I donโt think anyone ever thought otherwise about trans men, whether accurately or not. What makes this a headline to the average Joe is that trans women athletes arenโt โcheatingโ but disadvantaged.

Equality & Human Rights Commission faces devastating challenge:
See press release & announcement.
Trans Exile Network supports this release and is yet to lodge its GANHRI submissions to strip EHRC of recognised status. 'Crowing' by the EHRC is sorely misjudged.

Weโre in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

Iโll definitely be in court tomorrow, but we probably wonโt be able to live tweet unless the judge has changed their mind. I will take notes tho.
Last time I provided commentary, the Sex Matters goons used it to refine their case, so I wonโt be making any.
First, you need to move the Court of Arbitration for Sport out of the ECHRโs reach. Second, you need to revoke the 2021 Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations.
This is fake news.
