Most comments here suggest that once someone forms an opinion they don't agree with, that person are no longer fit to be considered an expert (even if they're one of the best in the country.)

I think you shouldn't read anything the GLP says about the cases they're involved in until you've read the actual judgement. This is just embarrassing.

YouTube video by Labour Women's Declaration Excerpt from House of Lords Questions on the Government Equalities Office GRA Statement 25.09.20

We remember Lord David Triesman with gratitude.

He was an early Labour voice willing to speak plainly about women’s rights and the importance of single-sex provision.

This clip from 2020 is a reminder of his courage and clarity — and how much has changed since.

Trans prisoners to be banned from female jails if Scottish Labour wins election EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Labour leader said prisons must be 'single-sex spaces" in the wake of the Isla Bryson scandal.

We welcome Anas Sarwar’s commitment to ensure women’s prisons are genuinely single-sex & act quickly if Labour takes office in Scotland. This reflects Supreme Court’s clear law on sex & women’s safety. We urge UK Labour to match this clarity and act nationwide.

Strong, focused question from Jackie Baillie MSP today following the Sandie Peggie case, calling for a single, consistent approach across Scotland so women don’t have to complain individually just to have the law applied at work. Exactly the right point to press.

It's not GC women putting people into little boxes. Women, born women, can be anything: warriors, engineers, masc-dressing. They just can't be men. And little boys can be gentle and like pink, but that doesn't make them girls. Those who say it does show tragic adherence to gender norms.

Do you know anyone who'd like a 0.6 job? Can be done from home. Good communication skills required, but no specialist knowledge, I think.

Fantastic talks from three exceptional women.

Parkrun told to scrap rule that lets trans runners outpace women Trans women have finished first in the female category in almost 60 events and set new national records

'Campaigners have called on Parkrun to scrap its “unfair” transgender policy which allowed a trans woman to finish first in the female category in nearly 60 of its Saturday morning 5km runs. The same trans woman once finished ahead of a former British Olympian.'

'You people' = women ♀️
We focus on those most likely to commit sexual/violent offences, making women's spaces unsafe if they're allowed to enter. That means men, however they identify - transitioning doesn't turn them into pussy cats.
AND we're entitled to privacy dignity and freedom of association.

Very useful new polling showing clearer support for single-sex spaces.

Don’t allow puberty blockers to sneak back in The big fight is over with these chemicals banned for gender-confused children — but a clinical trial presents a new risk

Why should we turn more children into lab rats because activist MPs will never believe puberty blockers are harmful? My @thetimes.com column.

Why does the #ForWomenScotland v Scottish Government case heard at UK Supreme Court last month matter? Do MPs need to get their heads around it? (Yes, they do.)

(Sigh)
I thought we got past this on 'the other place', but it seems we're starting from scratch here. Endless legal cases have established women's right to argue for single-sex spaces, which are, you must realise, legal under the Equality Act. FWS at the Supreme Ct in Nov will clarify further.

Don't you just love how intolerant the 'be kind' brigade are, with all these comments? & those mods - do they want @bsky.app to be just an echo chamber where no debate happens? It'll be as short-lived as the other Twitter replacements if they don't resolve this. Might even find themselves in court.

.@moderation.bsky.app needs to adjust its attitude to allow posts supporting women's rights. Sex is also a protected characteristic & protecting/promoting sex-based rights is entirely legal & protected by UK law.
Do they want Bsky to be a serious contender to Twitter or not?
