"the definition issue"

just wondering, but I understood that the definition of "woman" that the UKSC bruteforced into being (but held to be self-explanatory so didn't actually explain anywhere) is specific to the EqA 2010 ... is everyone assuming that the scope is wider?

Anyone got suggestions for the best teardowns of β€œTime To Think”?

I see isolated points being made about how GIDS was reported (unethical journalistic practices, bogus whistleblowing, statistical
nonsense) but looking for where they are all brought together.

But both sexes might be either gender according to UKSC, so a gender-neutral reading is mandatory surely lol

Nobody even told her off for self-citation in her journalism and being wildly unethical about the topic e.g. transsafety.network/posts/bbc-qu...

Or supplying a photo for this piece/her LSE profile that has gone so many rounds with AI filters, her own family ask if it’s Sabrina Carpenter aged up

Sara Morrison vs. transgender people – Transgender Map

I profiled Sara Morrison, former "inclusion" director at Belfast Film Fesitval who spoke at Kellie-Jay Keen's anti-trans Let Women Speak rally in 2023. Morrison was partly funded by J.K. Rowling in a lawsuit against the film fest (underway) & joined Genspect. www.transgendermap.com/issues/acade...

β€œ007” is not a rigid designator, ffs

β€œ00” merely signifies β€œlicensed to kill”, and β€œ7” is the number of people he is allowed to kill before having to get the license renewed

Some of us remember when Maitlis said that primary age school kids are having gender confirmation surgery. The BBC anti Trans bias goes back nearly a decade #BBCTransphobia

I think it’s Esquivel’s β€œOther Worlds, Other Sounds” where I have UK mono, UK stereo, US mono, CD, and the UK EP.

Pretty sure I first saw this in β€œIncredibly Strange Music” as a wayyyyy out record, and it is pretty wild… have to grab it each time cos of that cover.

How many trans people have the BBC had on this week discussing the BBC's pro-trans bias?

Zero.

I’d have to revisit to understand fully. But stuff like Cass recommending not being able to change NHS number seemed born of frustration that data linkage was technically difficult (and there was palpable rage in the Cass Report that ethics considerations got in her way).

You can bet your bottom dollar someone is making lists

I think the main goal of this research is to manufacture stats on detransition (given they couldn’t find a significant number in the data Cass could access). Likely they will define detransition retrospectively to inflate numbers.

As far as I know the SI that Sajid Javid used is still in force till 2027? Presumably there are still folks working on that β€œdata linkage” study that gives access to the medical records of anyone who ever was referred to GIDS.

Oh so it’s a β€œscience-based review” that’s gonna be used to justify excluding trans people from society. How novel.

Surely this will be totally unquestionable rock solid stuff and not at all a bolus of sloppy pseudoscience aggregated from β€œgender critical” sources. Surely.
