You really demonstrated that you hadn't read the SC judgement. I cannot imagine turning up to chair a public meeting without understanding the topic under discussion. An embarrassment.

I am surprised to see you posting about this shambolic performance. You displayed ignorance of the Supreme Court ruling - e.g. not having read its many references to sport - and highly unprofessional rudeness to Baroness Falkner, even interrupting her when she was responding to a sensitive question.

It's shocking - not one of you care about Lesbians. Yep, lesbians, same-sex attracted WOMEN. The ones who the Supreme Court referred to when it declared that sex was biological otherwise it rendered same-sex attraction meaningless. READ the judgment - we demand our rights - it is the LAW

Your bias and ignorance of the law and the judgment was shocking! There are consequences for women when they are denied their rights to single sex services etc but you seem uninterested and ill informed

The Supreme Court judgement on sport:
bsky.app/profile/wome...

'The Supreme Court judgement was purely about positions on boards it wasn't actually talking about sport or toilets'.
What?
There is a whole section in the judgement about sport.
@sarahowen.org.uk does not know what she is talking about & she chaired a session discussing the SC ruling.
Appalling.

Your advocacy on behalf of trans activist organisations pushing 'over-reach' or 'male entitlement' is clearly asymmetrically sympathetic to males at the expense of females. Aka 21st century patriarchy where males are valued more highly than females & accrue more power & empathy. Very disappointing.

The Supreme Court highlighted in particular the detriments to female people (lesbians & transmen) of a 'certificated sex' interpretation of the law. Lesbians would have to include male lesbians in same sex attracted services & associations. TM would lose right to pregnancy & maternity protections.

As a feminist academic I'd urge you to follow a feminist analysis & distinguish between males (TW) & females (TM) with trans identities. TM generally did not access male sport/prisons/ refuges etc given fairness & safety issues. This reveals the asymmetric rights claims made on behalf of males.

Baroness Falkner EHRC Chair was absolutely outstanding. The Supreme Court judgement & EHRC Interim Update provide absolute clarity. No males (regardless of identity) in female single sex services & sports. Women's and lesbian's rights matter too. Please remember that given your position.

As a @uklabour.bsky.social member I'm appalled with your hostile Chairing of this session. Please remember this Committee's remit is Women & Equalities. You clearly do not understand the law. The Supreme Court ruling was not just about membership of boards. It was about the meaning of sex in the EA.

FANFARE FOR FRIDAY!! FRIDAY!

LWD Statement on Postponement of National Women's Conference - Labour Women's Declaration We welcome the Labour Party’s decision to change its policies in light of the Supreme Court’s clarification of the meaning of sex in the Equality Act 2010. We now call upon the Government to show lead...

I saw the headline and thought, "well that's crazy but it makes sense he'd get away with it for so long, because his victims were so young and were under anesthesia" but it turns out the authorities knew he was a predator for like 15 years

I agree with Gary Lineker the BBC should put the Gaza Documentary back on today.

And they should broadcast it tonight.

Nationalising the Water Industry wouldn't cost anything, in fact it would make loads of money.

Your Water Bills are already £4bn higher than they need to be, and they are going up ANOTHER £6bn above inflation in the next 4 years.

So that's £10bn a year you would SAVE.

Child grooming gangs' survivor says 'Elon Musk's rants make me sick' Brave campaigner Holly Archer, who helped the Daily Mirror expose vast Telford abuse networks, has accused the US billionaire of "exploiting" survivors' stories

“I feel like our voices, all of our work, has been twisted and our experiences exploited… Is it for politics or radical racist reasons?” - Telford survivor.

Survivors deserve justice, accountability, and action, not to have their pain used as a tool by bad actors for personal or political gain.

Good to hear Wes Streeting speaking in support of Jess Phillips and against Elon Musks disgusting and dangerous attack on her.

The Observer view on calls for a national inquiry into child sexual abuse The government’s most urgent priority is not to launch another review but to develop a societal strategy to tackle the crime
