Working to provide clarity? You?
I think we can do without your kind of clarity. You misrepresented EA 2010 so egregiously that it's taken a Supreme Court ruling to clarify what was always the case - that sex & woman in the EA 2010 retain their original meaning, regardless of wishes & certificates.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

I was a late adopter of social media. I joined just long enough ago to make some connections. But feel like I really missed the best of Twitter.

I came to the same conclusion the other day, and offloaded it from my devices to discourage myself from dipping in. I wasn’t quite ready to delete my account- it’s become a habit and I miss some people from over there. But it’s a grim place.

This statement is key, and of direct relevance to service provision in Brighton.

MPs like @sianberry.bsky.social need to get their heads around this, yesterday. Victim-survivors need trauma informed, life saving care. This is not a debate.
