Its a biological reality that XX Trans men soldiers dominate XY c1s men soldiers in the USA standard military fitness tests.

Another example of how sex is dynamic.

@goodlawproject.bsky.social please take note of this. It could have 2 implications here if AI is being used 1 Legal judgements in our courts could be wrong . (Supreme ct ? Just saying) and 2 EHRC have already said they have used it. Could we use it to discredit them, using this report as evidence.

We could look at the SC judgment in two different ways:

"Trans people have no rights! Let's get 'em!"
"Trans people have no rights! We need to fix that!"

Our Government is currently pursuing the former strategy. It's our job to show them that the only option is the latter.

But , also he hasn't even considered the problems of maintaining the privacy requirements of the GRA section 22 ( for those with a GRC) , for which there are personal legal liabilities , and GDPR data sharing regulations

Nobody Knows What UK Law on Toilet Access is The lawlessness of the government's response to For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers.

This is 100% correct. Including as to the chaos the Gender Critical Ideological Movement so beloved of Labour has now descended into as their facade of respectability crumbles like the Berlin Wall.

We are making a Victims' Right to Review of the CPS decision not to charge Graham Linehan re the inciting violence matter.

We cannot say too much at this time, but we have discovered our copious evidence of ongoing harassment was never transmitted to the CPS. This is a solid ground for reopen.

EHRC struggles to justify key omissions from equality and rights report The human rights watchdog has struggled to explain why its major report on Britain’s β€œequality and human rights landscape” has ignored key breaches of disabled people’s rights by the UK government.…

Good to see the EHRC being reported to GANRHI. They are a puppet of organised transphobia and full of transphobic bigots. They have failed to adhere to the Paris principles and constitute a threat to equality and human rights.

Calling out anti-trans abuse Trans people have long called out the abusive behaviour of a small group of transphobic abusers who have sought to bring their online hate…

"This is 2025, not 1935, a time when trans rights ought to be a settled issue, yet trans people are constantly fighting a rearguard action the likes of which we have not had to do since the 1920s."

I really don’t know how a British-Palestinian like @laylamoran.bsky.social, someone so close to and personally affected by everything that happened, finds those reserves of empathy, while people with much less skin in the game take it upon themselves to strike the most strident pose.

Watching Trump mug Starmer off in front of the entire world is, of course, humiliating for Britain - but the intent behind the concerted effort to make Keir look useless should concern people.

Expecting everything to pay for itself is bad, actually. Sometimes, an organisation's work is *so* socially necessary, it becomes important for it to be supported by a government, if only to prevent it from being manipulated by bad actors.

β€˜Gender critical’ transphobes want constant retribution, punishment, and pain inflicted on trans people (and those who support them).

This is not hyperbole.

It has NEVER been just about β€œprotecting women” - this was a lie.

Once you understand this, then everything they do makes sense.

My GP surgery has been using online "booking" for a while now.

It's not really booking, though. It's a triage system. It's clunky and frustrating, doesn't work out of hours and involves waiting 2-3 days for an answer, which can vary from "no" to "we can offer you an appointment in three weeks".

Robin Cook showed us politics at its most serious. Labour has lost that balance Delivering the Robin Cook memorial lecture was one of the greatest privileges of my time in Parliament. But it wasn’t just a privilege – it was a burden too. The name Robin Cook still carries a weight...

β€œToday dissent is pathologised, selections are stitched up, members treated as irritants. Labour’s pluralism, once its superpower, has been replaced by a culture of control”, writes @labourlewis.bsky.social
