Wow, this is incredible.
Sex Matters met with three commissioners to plan strategy for the UK Supreme Court Case together. This is proof of collusion.
They redact the two commissioners who aren't Falkner, but I would bet I can guess their names:
* Akua Reindorf
* Alasdair Henderson

We had precooked two statements: one for a win and one for a loss. We didn’t dare hope the result would be better than 8 on our scale – roughly, an FWS win, but with comments designed to deflect criticism from those opposed to sex-based rights.

Interesting to see the RCOG launching a women's health research priorities project. But baffling that it includes the premises that "not everyone who needs women's service is a woman..."
The study is described as about on the concerns of "women and people"

Stonewall used to insist that refusing to accept someone's "trans" identity — refusing to pretend to believe that they are the opposite sex from their real sex — was "transphobic". Stonewall's definition of "transphobia" has been written into countless workplace policies.
