Rules forcing trans people to use birth-sex facilities delayed
The Equality and Human Rights Commission set out statutory guidance on how gyms, clubs and hospitals must judge single-sex spaces based on biology
You'll have to ignore the buckets of anti-trans campaigning commentary in the piece, but the basic news is quite simple. The EHRC has failed to get the government to accept its anti-guidance in haste. Something is holding it up, perhaps for another a year www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Every child should start life with the same opportunities. But our state-funded school system is designed in such a way that some children are blocked from their local school simply because of their parents' beliefs. Others are sent to illegal, unregulated schools & denied a proper education.

It's good to be on a platform where people express normal human empathy and dismay at the horrific synagogue attack rather than on one where they weaponise it for their grubby, divisive purposes and try to turn a tragedy into an opportunity

Starmer to end asylum โgolden ticketโ of resettlement and family reunion rights
People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call โstraight from populist playbookโ
Labour has a chance now to turn a corner and win support from people who want it to succeed. Or it can continue with this type of vicious populist filth and alienate everyone. It's your call guys.

This is the standard approach through history: The community of the free. We've always had people insist on liberty, but only for their group, typically white men with property. Progressive liberalism was about rolling out those rights for everyone, a process that is now being reversed.

Trans women are not and never have been a threat to women. Indeed they are women in and of themselves. If if you cared about statistics, you would understand this, rather you're just spouting the same rubbish as the rest of you terfs. Kindly go comment elsewhere please

I do, but I'm struggling to see how trans women, who are women btw, have a negative impact on cis women, or their rights. We're all trying to live in this patriarchal society as best we can & should be united... unfortunately people such as yourself cannot grasp this.

Ahh you're one of the not so lesser spotted bio-essentialist terfs. How sad that your life is so monotone, perhaps update your understanding of biology from when you left schooling.
In my experience, life is a messy and glorious multicoloured experience, one I urge you to embrace.

newspaper article about glinner. Headline is "I was treated like a terrorist for my tweets, says Linehan"
When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

Yes, an incoming illiberal and radical UK government would have absolute constitutional power
Only good fortune has prevented previous governments from misusing our constitutional arrangements more than they did
Profoundly important from @davidallengreen.bsky.social. The lack of meaningful restraints against executing power in our system leaves us utterly exposed in the face of a Reform government. They could do whatever they want.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.
